While mine lacks malicious mammals, I like it all the same. I don't think I've ever seen a writer acknowledge lovely exposition in this way.

Who needs the army or supersoldier programs or A.I.M.? As long as the circus is around in the Marvel universe there will be a steady stream of superheroes and villains.



Seriously, Stan Lee loves the circus. He probably would have made an awesome ringmaster, really.

Hey, I know a lot of you guys don't read the Comic Strip Megathread, so I decided to repost yesterday's Newspaper Spider-Man here.



The fact that JJJ is willing to jump up and enact a skit just to burn Parker is hilarious.

It's hard to believe that Pete doesn't constantly prank that jerk. I know some of you might say "But Lobok, we've seen him web JJJ's chair several times!" but no, I'm talking like, you have Amazing Spider-Man and Spectacular Spider-Man and Ultimate Spider-Man and then you have a separate comic entirely called Spider-Man vs. JJJ where they're just loving with one another.

This is how 99% of Nazis were caught.




True Fact: The "high five" was invented by undercover Nazis as a hasty way of correcting themselves if caught in the middle of a Heil Hitler salute. It's an interesting quirk of history that the phrase "don't leave me hangin'" was thus coined by non-native speakers of English.

Come on, it's simple. The penguin embryo develops by absorbing thermal energy from its mother sitting on the egg; when it reaches a certain threshold, it hatches. All eggs work that way. Superboy's heat vision just delivers the same amount of warmth much faster, causing the penguin to develop and hatch instantly. You can tell this is true by how the readers' letters do not question that part.

I love the idea that eggs only need X amount of heat energy, and it doesn't matter over what time period the absorption happens. If you want your chick to hatch, screw sitting on it for days - just pop it in the oven!

Isn't anything that has to do with Cyclops pretty much one huge Oedipus complex, with emphasis on the complexity? Even from the very beginning, though he may not have known it, Cyclops was essentially competing with his father figure Prof. X for the affections of Jean Grey. Having evil, cloned, and future versions of your son and wife who fit all the various combinations of loving, loving, and wanting to kill each other is just adding more and more crazy layers.

Uncanny X-Men 191. An evil wizard sends all of New York back to the middle ages, including most of the cast of the Avengers and the X-Men. Supposedly that's Selene, but there are some shapeshifting shenanigans going on as well.

There's an awesome panel in the same comic wherein a crucified Spider-Man breaks free of the cross but that should probably go in the badass panels thread.

Do you have that panel to post? I've never seen it as I wasn't big on X-Men.
