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.
Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/

Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)

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.
