So it seems as if the superheroes in comic books serve the dual purpose of engaging in the action and providing the ongoing narration. This is something I find fascinating.
When I was a little boy playing baseball, I'd do the radio play by play, out loud, including my performance and that of my teammates and opposing players, both real AND imaginary.

The issue is Marvel Two-In-One 75 and it is indeed a classic of characters announcing who they are and what they are going to do. I don't know if I've ever seen one of these shitpiles of fantasy so satisfying in such a juvenile way. I'm sure you'll see more.

ReplyDeleteA sonic sweeper is something you should avoid if you are made of poo, though. New storyline there Mr. Lee?

ReplyDeleteIt's like bad community theater but on paper.
I find it more convenient to have my life annotated with footnotes.
ReplyDeleteWhich is why Herr Doktor is so much cooler than Sarah Palin, who annotates her pathetic existence with handnotes...
ReplyDeleteThe contortionist performance involved in reading the footnotes has limited my career as a public speaker.
