Guest JMA Report post Posted February 14, 2005 Holy shit, are these real? Indeed they are. For all the good covers Superman has had, he's also had some pretty crazy ones. I found this site through Millarworld and have been showing it to many people. Batman has had some pretty funny covers as well, for example: No wonder Batman distrusts aliens like Superman...

LessonInMachismo 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2005 Actually, that gravedigging one is kinda tight. I love the sarcastic display of Supes' and Bats' difference of principle. And Batman with a Thompson...that just rocks. Definitely a right-clicker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jingus 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2005 Everyone's assuming they're real, but some of them just look too damn goofy to possibly have really been printed. Anyone got the lowdown? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2005 There's not really anything surprising about them, they were intended to get the reaction you're giving them. Draw you in with a "How could they do that?" and then you read to see, well, how they could do that. Most of them even make some bizarre form of sense, with one exception.

Mystery Eskimo 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2005 That is just amazing. If these are genuine, what was the general storyline in these things? Supes getting affected with random colours of kryptonite? Imposters? Robots? Dream sequences? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jingus 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2005 Some of these are so damn hilarious, it's almost impossible to pick just one favorite... but the running commentary provided by the guy who runs the website does help. Like with this one here List of more pratical uses Superboy can make of a machine that can see through time: 1. Betting on the outcomes of sporting events. 2. Forseeing natural diasters and catastrophhe. 3. Letting Bruce Wayne know that his parents are going to be gunned down in front of his very eyes in a filthy alley, you dick. And then there are all these, some of which are so ridiculous as to defy any possible explanation: Aw, come on, it's just fucking AQUAMAN, kick his ass Jimmy! Superboy's a pimp. (The bad kind) I never thought I'd be glad to have MY stepdad. Is there any phrase more pathetic or helpless than "Here's my life savings!"? Weird how movies from Breakdown to Charlies Angels 2 have ripped this one off. Jimmy is so good at plaintive whining that you almost feel bad for him. Really. For a COMIC BOOK CHARACTER. You can kinda guess the real plot here, but still, damn Superman is a dick. Why is an alien like Superman such a racist? Supes must WANT Jimmy to stay poor. Superboy is an even bigger dick than his future self. See what I mean? Batman's a dick, too. Considering how often shit goes down in the comic universe, how did mankind survive BEFORE Superman? Nightman looks like Nite Owl. Aw come on, Robin's already gay, you wanna make him anorexic too? Notice that Superman's already pulled the trigger. You'd think Batman would just say, "Stop it, Clark". Make your own Dr. Strangelove joke here. Supergirl is stealing my gimmick. And finally, these two have been mentioned before, but they're by FAR the best ones here.

starvenger 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2005 but they're by FAR the best ones here. Speaking of this, take a good look on Robin and Jimmy's faces. Robin doesn't seem worried, and in fact seems to be working hard at DIGGING HIS OWN GRAVE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JMA Report post Posted February 19, 2005 Um...wouldn't it have made more sense if he was thinking about Selina Kyle, Kathy Kane, or Vicky Vale?

Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2005 I remember seeing more than a few Flash covers where he was in a wheelchair or something and it implied he'd never walk again. they also did a few Green Arrow/Lantern covers with drug abuse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jingus 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2005 One weird little thing that worries me: the collection of completely accurate heroin paraphenalia that the artist drew in that one. Are they trying to draw the kids a map on how to shoot up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BUTT 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2005 So did the storylines for these comics actually involve Superman being an asshole? Was he supposed to be a bad guy in these comics? Were they meant as comedy, or were they supposed to be serious? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
