What's it with superhero's and punching the crap out of each other? Okay, stupid question. I read superhero comics mostly because I like seeing people getting punched through walls, and having cars thrown at them, so who am I to judge?
In any case, Cracked today had a rundown of the most ridiculously mismatched superhero fights of all time, and I thought it was worth a look see. If nothing else, it isn't just more of the Batman/Superman fight that wages online constantly, as it also includes people who try to punch the Transformers, and a guy who turns people on as his super power.
Oh, and bonus points: watch people engage in their own epic battles in the comment section! And by epic battles, I mean insulting each other constantly. Eh.
Anyhoo, here ya go.
Welcome back to my little webcomic jamboree.
Last week we covered a whole array of topics, and this week we look more at the community aspect, as well as the remainder of the list. So without further ado, let's finish part two of this three part series with your pal and mine, Mr. Jerusalem!
Yeah, yeah, yeah. While everyone else is out watching the new Hulk flick, I had to work. So instead I found this via Websters Is My Bitch, and thought I'd share. Not that it's especially hilarious or anything, but any chance I get to oggle Edward Norton I'll gladly take. Also, hearing Norton curse makes me nostalgic of the days long past of multiple personalities and sweaty, well toned man chests
Also: Is it in Ed's contract that he has to punch himself in the face every time he appears in a film? You'd think that'd be the kind of thing your agent would look out for. Huh.
The internet is an amazing place; full of wonder and whimsy, with danger on every side and nightmares staring you right in the face. Often lost among the menagerie of horrors, are the little bright lights that give the whole internet its moments of true gloriousness.
For me, webcomics (or, for the uninitiated, comics that are on the web) are one of these bright points. A small glimpse of light every day (or, more commonly, three times a week, if the artist feels up to it) that gives this dark chamber of terror we call the internet it's allowance for continued existence.
Why should you be reading these testaments to the worth of humanity? Why, lucky for you, Uncle Jerusalem has the answer for you in a convenient little list in three parts. The first two will be my justification for webcomiccery [Editor's Note: These young new writers and their murder of the English language *sigh*], and the third will be a handful of recommendations for the comic inclined.
Without further ado, here are the top ten reasons as to why you should be reading webcomics, RIGHT NOW! (the first half anyway)
Hit the jump!
"Oh Lois, you SO don't want to know!"
Comic of the Week
Well last week Ruby Summers blasted the competition easily for Moment of the Week! Just like the old saying goes, never underestimate a girl made out of living gemstone with laser eyes. This week we take a look at some astounding moments from last weeks Spider-Man: Secret Invasion, Wolverine, New Avengers, Final Crisis: Rogue's Revenge, Ultimate X-Men and Thunderbolts. (Marvel heavy, last week) So join me after the jump, and be warned. Spoilers lie beyond. So if you still have to pick up any of these books, don't read ahead because it'll ruin the surprise!...
