I think it happened in a Howard Mackie story in the late 90s. Venom was like "YEAH gently caress YOU JAMESON!" which doesn't really make sense considering the two characters had never met at that point in the comics. It really came across like he thought Brock used to work for him because he was a journalist, which was actually the case in the animated series.

One actual example I can think of is Bendis's first issue of New Avengers, I think, when the heroes are quelling a prison break and Carnage is spouting about sucking the life force off people, which he only ever did in the animated series. And this is Bendis, who at that point had been writing a Spider-Man book for years.

It’s both goofy and fun, and definitely worth a read. Most issues are up on Marvel Unlimited if you want to check them out. If you have any grasp of 1960s pop culture or politics, you’ll get most of the jokes. Lots of great sight and background gags. Yeah, there’s a lot of hacky, corny jokes but it’s still super fun to read and it’s fun to watch Lee and Kirby take shots at themselves.

The first 8 or 9 issues of What The?!? Are the same way, but those aren’t up on MU for some reason. That series took a sharp left turn off a cliff, so you’d probably only want the issues in single digits

What The?!? was occasionally pretty fun.



I do remember some unfortunate racist jokes, at least in one Wolverine parody.

So both Wolverine and Sabertooth are back? I dropped off comics aftee they dies. What should I read to catch up.

Mm, well, Sabertooth is alive. Buried alive, that is ("trapped in a state of permanent stasis for the rest of his life, while completely conscious and mentally aware"), for breaking laws that didn't exist when he broke them.
Krakoa might be a utopia, but it isn't nice.

Actually, those are from the same issue I posted about earlier, "Mighty Marvel Holiday Special: Halloween with the Rhino Infinity Comic". Written by Ryan North.
The Infinity Comics are specifically designed to be read on mobile devices and they're available on Marvel Unlimited.

One fairly early volume of the manga Tough has the main character facing against a vicious karateka who just shrugged off a hit to the head. The explanation is... interesting.



In a similar vein, in Kengan Ashura, we get a Burmese practitioner of Lethwei, a form of kickboxing which famously allows headbutts.

Okay, now I need to know.

How'd he manage to gently caress that one up?

"It comes down to just Wolverine and he is about to get the crystal when Horde shows up and kills him, because he actually just wanted the X-Men to pave the path for him. However, before Horde can touch the crystal, a drop of Wolverine's blood (from Horde's vicious attack) hits the crystal and Wolverine is awarded the prize of the Crystal. Its powers resurrects Wolverine and he becomes one with the universe. He rejects omnipotence and just returns his teammates back to normal."

Oh, XER0, the book Christopher Priest describes as "the Apollo 13 of my career."
It does have really nice ChrisCross art and as with most of Priest's grim post-mortems the essay I linked is eye-opening.

"Trane Walker was a African-American athlete and power forward for the National City Vipers. Secretly, he was also Coltrane Walker, a clandestine government agency assassin who preserved his secret identity by disguising himself as a blond and blue-eyed Caucasian covert operative"

Christopher Priest is one of the few writers I would trust with that concept.

Wikipedia says:

So any appearances would have been in flashbacks.
