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.
The big picture:

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.
