Future ESPN analyst Charles Barkley defeats Godzilla in a pickup one on one basketball game.

Humbled by his loss and convinced to be more "honorable" by Barkley, Godzilla does what you expect him to do...

Not responding to anyone in particular, but I do find it morbidly amusing that a villain like The Joker is allowed to do all sorts of heinously violent shit, including a storyline where he attempted to murder actual babies.

But phew, good thing he never raped anyone, because that would be going too far.

Also reminds me of a time when the creators of Freddy Krueger had to explicitly state that he wasn't a child molester, just someone who liked to brutally murder children. "Phew, what a relief!"

Kind of worked. The idea of Joker as any kind of sexual creature feels ridiculous to me.

In cool dumb things in comics:

Nick Fury has his suit boobytrapped in such a way that when he flexes it spring loads behind him to trap whoever is behind him.

More useful that you would think.

Mike doesn't exist it was Matt acting like a dick

Until he became real because an inhuman fell asleep and made him real
So wait Matt made him up so he could act like a dick. Why did he want to act like a dick?

Also the idea of a Matt Murdock existing let him be manifested into reality when an inhuman fell asleep? Like the inhuman changed into him?

So some people close to him started to think he was Daredevil.

So he create the Mike Murdock persona so everyone would think Mike is Daredevil, not him.

But then he really liked being Mike Murdock and started thinking of never being Matt again.

Then Mike "died" and he had to continue to be boring Matt Murdock.

It was all Spidey's fault: http://sacomics.blogspot.com/2010/11/short-life-of-mike-murdock.html

A few Inhumans are helping Matt with a case. One of them has the superpower to make anything he reads in braille real, can only do it 3 times before having to recharge by sleeping.
He fell asleep reading Matt's notes because they're so boring, and when he wake up he moved his hand and accidentally read the part about Mike Murdock, thus making him real.

From Jeph Loeb, the mastermind behind Ultimatum, comes the comics revelation you didn't want!

The Ultimates 3 opens up with Tony Stark/Natasha Romanova sex tape footage being aired on the news (Widow betrayed the team and the USA in The Ultimates 2).

V6JjHP6.jpg


Great way to remind readers that this isn't your daddy's Avengers.

After a fight with Venom, Hawkeye threatens team leader Wasp at gunpoint because she dared call him "Clint" in public.

PHzYdcT.jpg


Fear not, Wasp, for Loeb has other plans in store for you!

Cap's notably not in this scene; he did kick the shit out of Hank Pym in The Ultimates after learning what he did to Janet. Speaking of Rogers...

At the mansion, Cap makes a comment about Scarlet Witch's costume. What, you think that letter on his head stands for "Argentina"?

eCg7wey.jpg


No, Quicksilver ain't havin' none of that.

IFXSier.jpg


Wasp tells Steve senpai that he's behind the times, having not yet watched the original Star Wars trilogy. Or something.

Anyhoo, at the end of the issue, Scarlet Witch is shot. Please buy the next issue, kids!

8g0vqYk.jpg


In the second issue, there's some foreshadowing for a future event.

NGheXV0.jpg


Back on topic, Wolverine drops in at the very last page for a shocking guest appearance.

In the following issue, Logan reveals that, while wandering around the mountains of Wundagore after the war, he had hot sex with Magneto's redheaded (for one panel) wife/paramour/lover, Magda, the woman who would later give birth to the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.

Years later, and perhaps not remembering that he chased that homewrecker out of his mountain cabin, Magneto hires fellow baby daddy Wolverine to kill his son, Pietro (Magda would also give birth to Ultimate Wolverine, Jr.).

zWLtCEK.jpg


Though he gets a claw or two in, Wolvie fails to do the deed.

However, Logan discovers that yes, love blooms on the battlefield.

Thanks, Jeph!

Some context: Mark Millar, writer of The Ultimates, The Ultimates 2, part reason why there's an MCU, and deliverer of other great panels in this topic, hinted as to something going on between Wanda and her brother Pietro. Perhaps he felt that this was the one time he should restrain himself from taking it too far.

In less dumb things about comics and more "nobody thought about it".

Why isn't the Xavier Institute wheelchair friendly?

It doesn't even have a wheelchair ramp at the entrance!

Funny thing the Ultimate comics answered because in ultimate Xavier was telekinetic as well so he climbs stairs like that

I believe Ultimates 3 was the last comic Joe Mad did interiors for before going into video games. Ultimates 3 was so bad Joe Mad needed a career change. lol

The rape of Ms. Marvel.

Motherfuckers though they were slick for this shit.

Really the first thing I thought of, but I haven't read much Spider-Man as a lot of those stories sound awful.

But at least Claremont did his best to fix Danvers by having her tell the Avengers to fuck off, join the X-Men briefly instead, then go to space and become Binary. Loved having her around in the X-books for that period.

Oh and I also nominate the X-Factor premise from the mid 80's. Hot off Ghostbusters success, Jim Shooter(EIC of Marvel) decided to both resurrect Jean Grey without Claremont's approval, have Cyclops abandon his wife and child for his resurrected ex, and rip off the Ghostbusters premise with a new team that makes no sense at all. "We disguise ourselves as mutant-busters to capture mutant threats! And that will help Xaviers cause in the public eye how...?"

Ah right this should all be in season 3 of the netlix show so I'm annoyed that you spoiled that but otherwise thank you

No seriously this actually makes sense now so thanks. Well as much sense as something like that ever could. Also who the hell sleep moves their hand across Brail?

Also Matt could have written "then world peace became a reality" and if the guy had read it it would come true? Seems underused

Not a "moment" but I finished the Superheavy storyline of Batman last night and am part way through Bloom. I am glad Bruce is back, 'cause Gordon being Batman was really fucking dumb.

Before big budget XXX superhero parody films were a thing, one of Darkseid's former henchman, Sleez, concocts a devious plan to hypnotize both Superman and Mister Miracle's wife, Big Barda, to make a Man of Steel porn movie that will sell on the underground market for at least a million dollars. Something like that.

And no, this is not a DC Imaginary Story. It's canon.

I'll just paste these selected panels here (bonus Darkseid chillin' on a recliner shot).

Maybe someone here could confirm things for me, but I could swear that I once read a random panel about a scene where (I presume) a rookie Batman is getting chewed out by Gordon for stupidly fucking up all the evidence in a crime scene.

This is a real thing that happened, right?

This is how I understand it but anyone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Sim was THE name in independent comics in the 80s. He was the guy that kinda showed everyone how it could be done, from starting his own self-published comic and getting it distributed nationwide to compiling the issues into "phone books," large collections of previous issues to keep the story available to others. Sim was allowing Cerebus to show up in other indies to help their comics, he was paying tabs for other writers, he was donating appearance fees from bigger publishers, like he was what independent comics were. He wasn't trying to secure licensing deals for big movies or toy lines, he was making his comic because that's what he wanted to make. The early phone books, from Cerebus to Church & State II at minimum, but you could easily include Jaka's Story too, are some of the best comics I've ever read but I can't recommend anyone else read them because of what Dave Sim turned out to be.

Cerebus was always a reflection of Sim though, and Sim was never the most stable guy. Early on in the book's run, he was doing a dangerous amount of drugs and had to be hospitalized after taking a lot of LSD. It was during this time that he decided Cerebus was gonna run for exactly 300 issues, so he wasn't going to do ever be exactly "normal." He later turned out to be a giant, giant misogynist who absolutely hates women, which became clear with that wacko essay in issue #186. He tries to use old "I don't hate women, I'm anti-feminist" canard too. Like he really is the ur-Incel kinda guy. He even used to make people sign a contract that said "Dave Sim does not hate women" if they wanted to interview him. I think all of this came to a head after his wife left him and she has a book about him. I haven't read it but there might be some information there.

So after it turns out Sim sucks as a dude and he revealed it by making his awfulness a part of his work, it poisoned everything. His 300 issue epic that ran for decades was tarnished. Something that was the epitome of the DIY attitude of the indie scene and what can be done if you want to do it gets ruined because the dude is an unstable asshole. He finished all 300 issues but very few people were reading it by the end.

This about covers it. The sales crash after he revealed his "philosophy" of misogyny was astounding. At its height in the Church & State/Jaka's Story era, Cerebus was selling around 30,000 copies per issue, which was phenomenal for an independently published comic at the time. By the end of the series it was barely selling 3000 per issue. The second half of the series morphed into a barely-disguised (sometimes not disguised at all) rant about the evils of women and their purpose being solely to "steal male creative light" or whatever the fuck, and readers noped the fuck out in droves. Considering the high quality of the first half of the story, it's both one of the great success stories and great tragedies in comicdom.

It's nothing on a Superman/Barda porno (seriously?!), but I remember when Knockout was hitting a 16(?) week old.

That's amazing, but what's really got me scratching my head is what's going on with that right boot. Did he, like, have gout and have to get a peg? So many questions...

A low key one that always make me laugh is the time distortion that hits the batmobile in Asbar:
"Fifteen hours ago". That means one of two things. Clark Kent either drank this carton of milk fifteen hours before Dick Grayson, age 12, was kidnapped by Batman, and thus it is a magical prescient carton of milk, OR it's actually been a long enough ride in the Batmobile for Dick to have been reported missing, for his name to get to the missing persons groups, for them to submit his information to the milk company, for the milk company to print the cartons, distribute the cartons, and then for Clark Kent to go to the grocery store and buy the carton of milk. Let's see, by my rough estimate, that means that Batman and Dick have been on the way to the Batcave for, oh, about FIVE FUCKING WEEKS now.

I have be discussing Nightwing vs Daredevil and a certain moment from Daredevil was brought up.

I am quoting what my friend said

In Daredevil Volume 1 37 Doctor Doom swaps bodies with Daredevil as part of a scheme to destroy the Fantastic Four. In issue 38 Doom comments on how Daredevil see's the world....and doesn't realize that he's in a body that is completely 100 percent blind. Doctor Victor "I built a time machine" Von Doom thought the secret to Daredevil's powers was that his mask partially blinded him sharpening his other senses

Why are people posting great moments and not dumb
16?

CBR has more details, but Green Lantern Hal Jordan hooked up with a 14 year-old he often referred to as being his "little sister" soon after she willed herself into womanhood due to her love/lust for him.

Yeah...

It's comics, but stranger things have happened.
They try to hand wave by God fact that her species long lived or something where she's actually 200 years old because of orbit being longer or something

I think she's still a kid by her species standard though

I honestly wouldn't mind this thread just being an excuse to dive in the excess of Silver Age Superman stories. They were dumb. SO dumb. But so WONDERFULLY dumb.
