Super Social Networking: Super-Hero Facebook Status Updates

 

 

For this week’s article on ComicsAlliance, I round up a bunch of Facebook Status Updates from your favorite comic book characters! The image above actually has my favorite punchline of the bunch, but–of course–I neglected to actually put it in the article when it first went up. It’s there now though, so even if you saw it when it was going around earlier today, go read it again!

There are two quick shout-outs I need to give for this one: The idea for the article came entirely from CA’s Laura Hudson, and it wouldn’t be nearly what it is if it wasn’t for Andrew Weiss helping me out and letting me bounce ideas off of him to get in the right frame of mind for it. So if you enjoy it, half of that enjoyment belongs to them.

And if you hate it, they did the whole thing, and I had no part of it whatsoever.

    You sir are HYSTERICAL. And I mean the people who helped you too.

  2. David says:

    That was fucking amazing. You are a genius.

  3. Blarg says:

    These were just brilliant. The Red Bee was just spot-on perfect.

  4. THE
    RED
    BEE
    !!

    What else needs to be said?
    :D

  5. Jeff says:

    Grumpy Bear.

    Chris Sims, you are a delight.

    THIS IS WHY NO ONE LIKES YOU RICHARDS!!!

    Brilliant, sir, you win the Facebook.

  7. Tim C says:

    Dude, I think you owe Laura a beer for the premise. If you can make stuff up out of whole cloth, then you never again have to listen to people tell you what “you forgot.” The article, of course, is hilarious, as I posted over there.

  8. Brilliant!

    Foggy Nelson’s “Oh god I’m so sorry.” STILL has me laughing.

  9. Earlofthercs says:

    freaking hilarious. Almost enough to make me want to use twitter.

  10. captain supercool says:

    Is J. Jonah Jameson channelling Warren Ellis? And if so, why doesn’t he do it more often?

  11. Kelberon says:

    J. Jonah Jameson channels no one.

    Warren Ellis channels J. Jonah Jameson.

  12. Mal G says:

    Frank Castle and Mafia Wars. Brilliant, mate.

  13. Nimbus says:

    Since when is April 24th at the beginning of summer, eh, Sims?

    The Punisher ones were the best. So true!

  14. fireballofspleen says:

    When I first went through the article, I thought that either the Lois one or the Doom one was my favorite, but I think I have to change my answer.

    Because Krypto typed “WOOF!” And that right there is comedy gold.

    When you win the Nobel Prize for making fun of stuff on the internet, remember this moment. The judges will.

  16. bookrats says:

    Bookrats likes this.

    (A lot!)

  17. Samus says:

    This is my favorite thing you have written for CA. so much hilarity.

  18. SkywardShadow says:

    The grumpy bear bit was my favorite.

  19. sandra says:

    Genius. I would love to know by what means you created these FB ‘entries’… Photoshop? Fireworks?

  20. Annie says:

    No doubt! You won, sir!

  21. CapoDelBandito says:

    I don’t get the Red Bee one. Hints? Suggested reading?

    Also: tea went up the nose with the Daredevil one. Wonderful. And so worth it.

  22. Filthy McMonkey says:

    I might go so far as to say this is the funniest thing you’ve done this year.

  23. LaRue says:

    Oh, wow, that was amazing. I was pretty much just cackling through the whole thing. I keep wanting to say which was my favorite, but then another one’ll come into my head and set off the giggling again.

    So just damn fine show, sir.

  24. Mike Loughlin says:

    Damn funny! In addition to the ones everyone else mentioned, “Anniversary?” and Kyle & Hal were hilarious.

  25. Squeamish says:

    WHAT DID YOU DO, MEPHISTO

    GODDAMMIT, THIS BETTER NOT BE TIJUANA ALL OVER AGAIN

  26. Yuvi says:

    I got linked to this by a friend and I must say this is the funniest things I’ve read in a while.

    You and the people that helped you, did a fantastic job. If you ever feel like doing this again, please do!

  27. Doug says:

    ditto. that was just hilarious!

  28. Aeon J. Skoble says:

    Funniest thing I’ve seen in a while. You rule.

  29. Mike @ MHH says:

    It’s the little details, like Clark Kent ‘liking’ Lois’ sunglasses post. Truly a delight for the senses.
