Super-heroism doesn’t leave a lot of time for a social life, so today, teenage webcomic sensation Max Huffman see if super-heroes can find love in three minutes or less: It’s Speed Dating in the Marvel Universe!
Max did a bang-up job with these to the point where my writing is almost completely unnecessary — really, you know everything you need to know about the Scarlet Witch in the panel above — but it was a fun one to do. If you haven’t already, go read his comic, Mocktopus. HE’S JUST A KID, GUYS!
That last panel isn’t fair. Thor is the heir to the Golden Throne of Asgard. He’s a God of Thunder. He’s even a doctor. But how in the name of Hela’s high heels is anyone, even a god, supposed to get his mack working when Volstagg the Magnificent is in the same room? As soon as the Lion of Asgard shows up, all the fine womens flock to him, ruining it for every chump in the place. No woman in all the nine worlds can resist his rotund sex appeal.
There’s a reason Hogun’s so grim, y’all.
More please.
They were incredibly hilarious.
I’ll admit it. I read Triple J’s entry in JK Simmon’s voice. And it was glorious.
I didn’t do that because I hated the first Spider-Man movie so much that I still haven’t seen the sequels. But still. The Jameson rant was pure genius.
Psylocke was another one of my favorites.
Also… Is the Punisher holding a sawed-off shotgun disguised as a bouquet of flowers? That’s awesome.
I think I’m in love with wall-eyed Volstagg
This is a thing of great beauty.
Man, it never hit me before, but the Hank Pym/The Wasp/Jocasta saga could totally pass for a comic version of the Hitchcock film Vertigo. You’d just need to reveal at some point that Jocasta was the Wasp during Secret Invasion, and somehow faked her own death.
Dammit Chris, if ever an article cried out for alt-text. . . .
