I genuinely respect how openly despised she was. If a late night host made the same sorta jokes about Reagan's death that I saw about Thatcher on British television when she died there'd have been a good chance they'd lose their job.

Haha yeah.

It's delightful just how much people loving hate her

Also to make this comic related. Maggie Thatcher is a female captain britain and the rest of the team are all teen boys she has to scold after they beat up Nazis..... It's weird. Excalibur #32

Full context: this is from Super Babylon, in which Marshal Law - a government-licensed vigilante (and self-loathing superhero) tasked with bringing down rogue supers - is fighting the reanimated zombies of the Jesus League of America, WW2-era superheroes who by strange coincidence are expies of Silver and Gold-Age characters.

Thanks for that, because without context it really seems like a genuine edgelord showing why his nazi superhero is better than those mainstream ones.

I should also have mentioned that the fights are taking place in a WW2 museum (hence all the Nazi stuff).

For extra context, Pat Mills (ML's writer and also the founding editor of 2000AD) absolutely hates the very concept of superheroes.

It's important to remember that part of this was because Regan died first. And when he did the Republicans went into overdrive to Lionise him. ("He ended the Cold War. He beat the Soviets.") While at the same time shutting down disent.
("The man just died! Any attempt to criticise his legacy is politics and shouldn't be done. Now let's go back to talking about how great he was.")

The Right in the UK tried to do the exact same thing with Thatcher but people weren't having it.

There's no ridiculous panels thread, but this sequence from the Human Target #6 warrants posting somewhere.

For context, Guy Gardner just walked in on Chance and Ice in a frosty post-coital glow and he wasn't too happy about it.

Yeah, I like the art too and I did legitimately chuckle at the reference/gasp at the brutality.

Good day for funny books, bad day for funny books that can be boiled down to a single panel. Here's some from Devil's Reign: X-Men #3.









I suppose that would fit in the badass thread too. I love Phil Noto's faces.

And here's a bonus single image from Avengers Forever #4.

Yeah I get that they're kind of going for an anti-vax joke but putting a psi-dampener in/around my head might be a hard sell. Especially given that if you live in the Marvel Universe, you've probably seen just as many super-science devices/experiments backfire horribly as you have be successful.

... then again, given that mistakes with super-science in Marvel often seem to lead to superpowers, I might be jumping at the opportunity. Hell maybe I'd take whatever device they have for psi-dampening and go gently caress with it in my garage until something something reverse the polarity something something now I'm psychic.

Let's be honest, knowing what we know, we'd all be jumping in Gamma bomb explosions, eating buckets of radioactive ooze, and getting bitten by every spider we come across. Chances are at least 50/50 that we'd come out with superpowers.

But then after that, the chances are 90/10 that you're either a single issue tragic villain in Web of Spider-Man with a name like Spunge or the Ooze Master, or a six issue Avenger who doesn't appear between 1988 - 2001, when they are killed to build stakes for an event.

Hey, a thirteen year career quietly supering offscreen is nothing to scoff at. Besides, nobody stays dead forever in Marvel unless your name is Benjamin.

I always found it amusing how in the Mask cartoon, Peggy was his buddy (possibly love interest, I didn't see that many episodes), when in the movie, she sells him out to a gangster and almost gets him killed.
