My comics culture Q&A column is back, and this week, I try to figure out how long it takes for Batman’s girlfriends to get kidnapped and/or killed and discuss some truly terrifying Archie books.
Long, long, long-time ISB readers will recognize a couple of the images used in this post, because I actually had to go back and find the ones I’d originally posted for the Archie entry. And to give you an idea of how long ago I posted those, these were pictures I’d taken with my digital camera, because I didn’t have a scanner yet. Fortunately, some PhotoShop Wizardry (well, PhotoShop stagemagicianry, anyway) allowed me to clean it up a little.
I can assure you, however, that that’s definitely a new scan of my copy of Godzilla vs. Barkley.
I’m so disappointed in you, Chris, for preferring your manga unflipped. Because of how eyes follow the words I find that flipping the manga preserves the original intention and pacing better than leaving the art untouched.
Just read it the other way. It’s not hard.
This was a good column and you should feel good.
Actually, I believe giving a cow vodka and Kahlua is one of the steps in making cow people.
And how can this be the first time I’ve ever seen anyone refer to the Joker as a Juggalo? It’s so brilliantly obvious (once someone points it out).
Seriously, DC needs a comic where someone has the nerve to call the Joker a “third-rate Juggalo” to his face. That would be right before the Joker shoots that someone in their face, of course.
I find it stunning that Godzilla playing basketball features a LAY-UP.
You’re telling me the King of the Monsters can’t dunk? Godzilla is the Jordan of the kaiju world, not the Karl Malone! Seriously, people!!
Even the king of monsters has to develop his basic skills. You cant win on show alone.
