From the PEREZ: ACCENT ON THE FIRST E portfolio, here’s a vintage Avengers shot by George Perez.
I like Hercules’s chest hair, which is clearly just scribbled on with a magic marker.

Robotic hammers! What a society we live in. (Taken with instagram)
A pointless Britpop mix inspired by a conversation with David Brothers.
Pretty sure my definition of “Britpop” is way more catholic than most. The five people who listened to my college radio show Britpocalypse Now already knew that.
I think this was an aborted Theme Week idea for that show, too. It was way harder before iTunes/etc. existed!

These are only a few of the comics David Brothers and I discussed on Funnybook Babylon Episode 139: Origin Stories. Listen and share your own terrifying origin stories!
This transparent png of a tennis ball ricocheting off of a surface is funny to superimpose onto pictures of friends or celebrities. Drag it around your screen to bounce a tennis ball off of your browser window! Fun.

Why didn’t the new Three Stooges movie follow this plot, as opposed to (I assume) being based on the NES game?

PHENOMENAUT AEROSPACE: Fear of a Black Hat
There are no black supervillains. I don’t mean bad guys: there are plenty of pimps and thugs and evil Wakandans to go around. But where’s my Luthor-class, big-brained Big Bad? Where’s the brother, or sister, whose intelligence is only matched by their capacity for evil? The closest I could find was an old War Machine villain named The Advisor, who’s got a knack for toppling political systems simply through manipulation. (Yeah, you don’t remember him either.)
A good point, but I feel like it’s overstating the point. Marvel’s got Nightshade, Moses Magnum, Centurius, Killmonger, Chemistro, and Alex Wilder (and his parents), all of whom have appeared with some regularity over the past decade or so, and all of whom are definitely somewhere on the nebulous comic book spectrum of being Supersmart and Evil.
They’re nowhere near the profile of a Lex Luthor (or Luke Cage, for that matter), but they’re totally more prominent than The Advisor. I’m sure there are some examples from DC too, I’m just blanking on them.

Do you think the Spin Doctors ever curse the existence of cellular phone technology because the decline of the time-and-tempurature phone number business killed the licensing potential of this song?

THIS IS NOT HOW BODIES WORK.
Sigh. Humberto Ramos needs to brush up on his anatomy. Embarrassingly bad.
Isn’t this J. Scott Campbell?
