Why do so many comic book creators seem to suffer genuine mental breakdowns?

All the most iconic covers are full of weird unexplained poo poo. Who's the terrified guy Spider-Man is carrying? Why is Superman destroying a car and terrifying everyone? If laser beams and rocket launcher haven't done the trick why does Iceman think that snowballs will - and where the hell is Beast swinging from?

Somehow the weirdest thing about those comics is that his mouth is always closed, even when he speaks.

Lois, keeping it classy with The Wall. How Lois was even still alive after that panel I'll never know.

Her boyfriend?

Jean, you died. It's in the goddamned vows, let it go.

No wonder he jumped on Emma Frost as fast as he did. He probably thought he could bang her for like three weeks top and then Jean would appear or a clone of her or an alternate dimension version of her or an alternate dimension version of their common child or the alternate dimension version of the common child of him and her clone or the evil clone of the alternate dimension version of the common child of him and her clone or the alternate future version of the alternate dimension version of the common child of him and her clone

Either way it would be really awkward.

Between all that and the four different hosed up father figures he's had and the stuff with his brother and his alternate dimension/time travel shenanigans, for a guy whose power is to shoot beams out of his eyes, Scott Summers has had to deal with a lot of poo poo.

The terrifying truth of Green Lanterns is that John Stewart is the most competent and Guy loving Gardner is the second most competent.

Well, Earth Oa Green Lanterns anyway. Alan is the most competent human with the name, and some of the space Green Lanterns seem like up to snuff.

Not gonna lie, I love things like this. Reminds me of a Spider-man comic, I wanna say early 2000s? He was out on a stakeout and hadn't had time to eat dinner, so he was hungry, and he ran into a dude eating some popcorn on the fire stairs of his apartment, and asked him for some popcorn, and the dude was like "Man, only in New York, I love this city." Anyone remember what that issue was?

JMS's Spider-Man was full of those kind of humanizing moments. My favorite was him talking to an old guy who said he's a New Yorker and Spidey asking how he knows that and the guy was "Ask me again in that thick Queens accent how I know you're from New York." Also Spider-Man not having a driver's license because he got his powers in high school and just swings everywhere :haw:


Wish I knew the issues
