From the man-thing that brought you Basic Instinct and Showgirls comes an exploration into the seedier side of superheroes...

Batman kinda looks like he's ready to go again.

I like that Superman's costume is still intact (though I guess he didn't get on the tear-away shirts until post-Byrne) and his hair isn't even tussled.

Return of the FINGER!!!

I like the fact that even the dog doesn't have a face!

Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 29 March 2005 21:29 (nineteen years ago) link

That man has no nose!

Austin Still (Austin, Still), Tuesday, 29 March 2005 22:19 (nineteen years ago) link

Clearly, Ollie's beard acts not just as carbon-dating-like heptitude signifier, but also as face-vanishing-preventor.

Brad Meltzer was right! The DCU will never be the same post-Identity Crisis! To wit, no THE FINGER:

I really hope they make out after that last panel.

Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 2 May 2005 17:33 (nineteen years ago) link

They don't. :( Green Arrow does get sorta emotional, tho.

No hot Mahnke love?

Huk-L, Monday, 2 May 2005 17:41 (nineteen years ago) link

sorry.

Huk-L, Monday, 2 May 2005 17:42 (nineteen years ago) link

I saw Auto Focus this weekend. It puts the Bat / GA exchange in a WHOLE new light.

Even if I had Kryptonian stomach organisms, I wouldn't eat seafood at a place called "Nemo's Revenge."

That waitress is a man in drag, yes?

I am trying to construct a joke about Metrosexualopolis. It's not happening.

Actually, the whole site is pretty interesting:

Ha ha, that site Tuomas links to is the most Tuomasesque site imaginable.

chap who would dare to be a nerd, not a geek (chap), Friday, 5 May 2006 23:32 (eighteen years ago) link

My best friend who mainly lurks was telling me that Tuomas was the poster she liked best and who can blame her.

Raw Patrick (Raw Patrick), Friday, 5 May 2006 23:38 (eighteen years ago) link

Question for Tuomas when he's next online: How do you pronounce your name? In my head it's Too-omas, but that's probably wrong.

chap who would dare to be a nerd, not a geek (chap), Friday, 5 May 2006 23:41 (eighteen years ago) link

Well, it's basically to-omas, the omas part is mostly like in "Thomas" (which my name is a Finnish version of), expect the "uo" is pronounced as a diphtong, but I don't think English has that.

My best friend who mainly lurks was telling me that Tuomas was the poster she liked best and who can blame her.

Can you give me her number, hur hur.

three years pass...

This is Marvel and not DC, but...

Only in comics can you have someone say, "Miss America! Did you see any signs yet of that NAZI VAMPIRE?".

Tuomas, Wednesday, 27 May 2009 20:30 (fourteen years ago) link

This is probably my all-time favourite example of comic book absurdity:

http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/tales-of-the-unexpected-85.jpg

Can you imagine... red turning green?! The horror!!!

Tuomas, Wednesday, 27 May 2009 20:45 (fourteen years ago) link

I have to be honest with you and say if that were to really happen, I would be pretty freaked out.

I'm cool with nazi vampires though, and with Miss America being charged with the responsibility for dealing with them.

Philip Nunez, Wednesday, 27 May 2009 20:52 (fourteen years ago) link

Well yeah, if red turned green, I'm sure people would be freaked out for a while, but they'd probably get used to it pretty soon. It's not like the change would destroy the fabric of our society or anything.

Tuomas, Wednesday, 27 May 2009 20:56 (fourteen years ago) link

replacing those traffic lights will be a bitch. would fuck up traffic good & proper. actually now you got me curious what other horrifying consequences are in the inside of that comic.

Philip Nunez, Wednesday, 27 May 2009 21:07 (fourteen years ago) link

Would it really mess up traffic? If the colours are switched over, it wouldn't make any difference- the sequence would just change from top to bottom to vice versa. (that's in the UK, I don't know how it would work in the US)

Richard Jones, Thursday, 28 May 2009 11:22 (fourteen years ago) link

Red turns green but green doesn't turn red. So we're down a colour.

CosMc (Raw Patrick), Thursday, 28 May 2009 11:26 (fourteen years ago) link

Is that Tales of the Unexpected available in a B&W reprint, I wonder. "The Day White Turned to White!"

chap, Thursday, 28 May 2009 12:24 (fourteen years ago) link

Red turns green but green doesn't turn red. So we're down a colour.

There's so many of those buggers anyway, so who cares? We could just replace red with, say, indigo. It's not like it had much use before.

Tuomas, Thursday, 28 May 2009 12:36 (fourteen years ago) link

one year passes...

I kinda want to know the context to this, but on the other hand it's perfect as it is.

Tuomas, Tuesday, 28 December 2010 14:04 (thirteen years ago) link

Oh yes.

The New Dirty Vicar, Tuesday, 28 December 2010 21:08 (thirteen years ago) link

Context, according to Livejournal, is "It's from a series of 'imaginary stories' in which Kal-El's rocket was found by Thomas and Martha Wayne. They adopted him, named him Bruce and he grew up to be a mild-mannered librarian who works with and romances Barbara Gordon."
