In the interest of adding to “the long list of things that weren’t gonna photoshop themselves,” Director of Publicity for Oni Press John Schork recently took to his personal Tumblr account to gift humankind with one of the most breathtaking mashups of our time.

Thank you, John, for thinking outside the Mother Box bun.

Has anyone else read the Uber comic series? Its really good but I can't find anywhere to talk about it.
I am really enjoying that series and issue 10 was particularly good. Not sure how they're going to play out that cliffhanger like. Always thought "those Ubers would be great if they could fly like superman or weren't brick slow". Solution, put them in rockets and fire them at London! Class. I was also glad we got to see talking whilst they built up to Hitler revealing his plan. Plus how one of them was whining that he is the favorite. I have a feeling that they'll use their new British mega Uber prematurely and she'll probably be killed. Thing is, I can't see what the germans hope to achieve. Its not that Sieglinde can't kill everyone in London, but she has no means of returning and unless she intends the Brits to surrender its hard to see what can be accomplished. I highly doubt however that they'll kill off the poster child of the series this early however. Perhaps she gets captured? But, after the failures at Paris and Kursk; I think the Germans will win this one. Theres too much complacency from the allied characters that they can win this with their industrial might despite the Ubers.
Plus I was a little shocked when you see Sieglinde having sex with Marcus. More because it was Marcus TBH. Did seem a little forced that she would have sex with somebody she finds repulsive. Hes not the only guy she could be with as she claims. The other male Uber seems nice enough and not a sadistic psychopath. Hell even one of the poor technicians would do.
I am particularly hoping a future issue looks at what the soviet superhero Katyusha is doing now she has her powers. I think they say that some Ubers can have all their abilities focused all on strength at the expense of their ray power thing. Since Kat hasn't shown any sign of physical transformation but clearly her vision powers were easily comparable to the Ubers it looks like shes the exact opposite. Which I quite like. Normally female Soviet superheroes are massive amazonian characters. Its quite neat and original to have this little Arya type character in this role. Although I could be wrong and she does get the same size as Sieglinde. Hope not though. I imagine the Soviets will try to capture her and they'll probably use her friend Joseph from the penal battalion to convince her (poor man) since I doubt force will work.

Just sent my friend 400+ comics for free just for the hell of it. he loves them, and it finished his teen titans, Alpha flight collection. The only one I kept was the first appearance of Carnage from Spiderman, my favorite villain ever. Ill regret it later, but that made him so happy, shipping killed me lol.
Tried the 2nd trade of Way's Thunderbolts, now that Steve "I can only draw one face" Dillon is off the book. He can draw more than one face, but none that actually look like the characters.
Jim Shooter wrote a film treatment, in which KISS fights the Village People, Rodney Dangerfield plays four separate characters, and fire-clad warriors ride into battle on unicorns. At one point, Dazzler, the Avengers and Spider-Man travel forward in time to a dystopian New York, where Cher and Donna Summer are rival witch-queens, battling for control over the city.

My comic book reading just took a hit, the comixology app, which I get almost all my stuff on, is now read only.
They've removed the storefront.

Not as easy as you may think.
There isn't a single comic book store in the entire country that I'm aware of, and assuming I could get anything in a hard copy, it would be heavily censored.
I'm talking black sharpie over any female characters censored, assuming they just didn't go ahead and tear the pages out.

I had a bandits haul today, got tons of free swag in addition to the actual free comics, and on top of that I bought more stuff at not one, not two, but three of my local comic shops. Also met a lovely young lady at once who seemed quite interested in me... unfortunately I think she might be *too* young...

I grabbed a couple of the free comics today, sadly no one had any of the Heroclix sets left.
Also grabbed some trades(MtMtE Vol 2&3, Infestation Vol 1) I've wanted for a while on Buy 2, Get 1 sale.

Oh, I didn't even know there was a new Moon Knight series. Is it in quite a different direction from Bendis' series? How are they portraying the multiple personality thing now?
Anybody here read Invincible? That's my main page-turner right now.

Moon Knight is still very much 'suffering' from his 'multiple personality' issues.
Though to be honest with you, I don't think they've been much of the 'focus' so far.
Many writers seem to take it more in the direction that maybe Khonshu himself is one of Moon Knight's 'personalities'.
I've been reading INVINCIBLE from the start and maybe because of that, a lot of the stories, while still quite good, seem to be running over familiar ground.
