My brother just posted this pic on my FB wall with no context. It's from Uncanny Avengers #1, written by Rick Remender. He is a fucking awesome writer. So I'll have to read this.
I really wonder if I'd have read comics if this was the stuff they were writing when I got started at age 8. Then again at age 34 I see this and wonder if perhaps it's time to stop reading them..
I'm thinking it's time to START reading superhero books again. A cackling villain has a genocidal plan that involves a brain. That's pretty awesome. And who is Red Skull talking to there? No one! He's just monologuing to himself, which villains should do.
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.

I... don't think I want to know.
ReplyDeleteActually, the more I look at this, the more awesome it becomes.

ReplyDeleteSerious question, though... how does Red Skull pronounce anything correctly without any lips?
ReplyDeleteMichael R He's got one of those smoker robot-voice thingies.
ReplyDeleteThat's just extra creepy.
ReplyDeleteThat's like asking how StrongBad can type with boxing gloves on. The answer is: Don't question it, it just is.
