Did the guy who did the art also do the art for mad magazine? I doubt it but goddamn does it look similar.

Thank you, the art reminded me of something but I couldn't place what.

I just wanted to be clear that I was giving much love to the chopper sound effects and not the salad tong/fish slice fist weapon. Point taken I guess. :v:

A fishslice is a SPATULA? I heard it on a Flanders and Swann tape as a kid (yes casette tape, yes I'm old) and assumed it was some specialized kitchen tool like a grape peeler. For someone who slices a lot of fish or something.

If he's falling from well above skyscraper level (as appears to be the case here), then by the time he's fallen far enough to actually web onto something he'll be going so fast that the sudden stop could pull his arm from its socket. Or so I've heard.

Or course that doesn't answer the question of why FalCap catching him by the ankle doesn't have a similar effect.

Ever since Gwen Stacey, Spidey wears a neck brace for exactly that reason.

My first comics were my mother's Asterix and Tintin books, which were in French but expressive enough that I had no difficulties. For "proper" comics I tried to follow both Maximum Carnage and Death/Return of Superman but everything jumping between different comic lines meant you needed a roadmap to figure out what you should be reading.

I feel like this conversation must go on a lot in universe. Bruce Wayne is probably a popular suspect for being Superman, and Deathstroke just quietly chuckles "Hey, Bruce. :smug:" to Superman every time they meet.

No, Bruce Wayne is the Green Hornet. 1960s Batman wouldn't lie to me!

Correct on both counts. Also Barry is the Black Racer, Shazam has a bunch of different gods powering him (but they still make the acronym it's cool), and Lex Luthor is basically Darkseid.

Superman is inverse because he fell in a firepit on Apokolips and now he's All-Star Superman-ing (dying from being supercharged)

Ya know, when I was growing up we had "Mormon Standard Time" and "Jewish Standard Time" for those sorts of things but it sounds a LOT worse from an outsider instead of self-inclusive "if we're meeting for the campout at 8, when should we figure on actually leaving" jokes.
