Honest. Would we fib? From the London Independent: A Glastonbury teenager is claiming to have the longest name in the world – Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine Hulk And The Flash Combined. Captain Fantastic – formerly George Garratt – changed his name by deed poll "for a bit of a laugh" through…
Pop culture sees a plethora of imitators. Chicken Soup’s endless variations comes to mind as beating a concept to death. The ones that stand out, that beg for attention, are the ones at the head of the wave. Will Jew-Jitsu: The Hebrew Hands of Fury be such a trend-setter? We don’t know but we’re awfully…
What if Wonder Woman was a total jerkass? Not evil, or a supervillain, or the crazy Nazi-lady from Whom Gods Destroy, but just a self-centered, self-absorbed jerk? Justin Pierce answers that question, by showing us The Non-Adventures of Wonderella. [link: http://nonadventures.com/]. Pierce skewers (did you see that? That was totally a pun) bits of DC…
Shmobots is a pretty stupid book on its face. And it’s pretty stupid inside too. Government negligence leads to a city full of worthless robots (termed [[[Shmobots]]]), and three of the laziest ones hang out with a guy and do pretty much nothing with their lives. The humore here — from writer Adam Rifkin —…
The National Post’s writer and cartoonist team of Ben Kaplan and Steve Murray recently chronicled their foray into a nudist colony in Ontario, Canada, and the resulting story and comic strip, well… they pretty much speak for themselves. From naked lawn care to threesomes in a hot tub, both features provide a funny, fish-out-of-water look…
I have no real theme this week but I’d like to share some random thoughts. These are some of the things that make me ask…is you stupid? Not to be confused with “Are you stupid?” Is you stupid is a much better way to express my frustration. Just saying is you stupid sounds right…
Want to relive the fun of Iron Man without those pesky computer-generated effects, impressive performances by actors, adherence to known story or, better yet, running time? I give you the Oscar-worthy animated opus Irod Bad (and then make my escape before you start watching it):
What happens when a pet owner finds her dog constantly attacking her robotic vacuum? She assures him the machine is on notice by chastising the little bot in front of him. While it doesn’t have much to do with comics, this was too good not to share. Want a comics angle? Go read Grant Morrison…
[EDITOR’S NOTE: In previous editions of ComicMix Six, our contributors have given you their lists of comics’ top political campaigns, the best and worst movies based on comics, and even a few reasons why a Skrull invasion isn’t anything to worry about. This week, ComicMix Media Goddess Martha Thomases ranks some of comics’ most desirable…
I knew I wasn’t the only person looking at this year’s baseball season and wondering if something unnatural was to blame for the state of the league. Of course, the best indicator of something amiss with the sport is probably the fact that my fantasy baseball team is actually doing well this season… which never…
To be filed under "Sometimes This Stuff Really Writes Itself," Newsweek.com is reporting that a 27-year-old man who dressed up as Star Wars villain Darth Vader (complete with garbage-bag cape) and attacked members of a British group calling itself the Jedi Church, has been officially spared any time in jail. According to reports, Arwel Wynne…
A while back, I gave you "The Worst Superhero Names in Comics," but now it’s time for the other end of the spectrum. Yes, it’s time to give the supervillains their due. (Well, those of them with horrible names, that is.) Oh, and before anyone mentions folks like "Mr. Banjo" and "Captain Nazi," I didn’t…
