Out of Context Comics

Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!

Rules:

  1. Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.

  2. Single panels are preferred.

  3. Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.

  4. Don't be a dick.

  5. I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.

I don't respect Batman. His superpower is trustfund.

Class consciousness ruined Batman for me. I used to love him because he felt more relatable. He didn't have superpowers he just had gadgets and skill.

Now I know that I'm more likely to gain superpowers than I am to join the billionaire class.

Toxic Avenger is the hero of the people.

Super genius all of the time is a superpower.

The true measure of a man is whether or not he's been bitten by a radioactive spider.

Batman's superpower is that he is the world's greatest detective. He started in the Detective Comics.

The gadgets only help him in that regard. But he can do without.

Is this a fan comic or something?

[–] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It’s from Superman: Space Age. And it’s a fantastic book.

Superman: Space Age

This is some of the worst official art I've ever seen.

https://cdn.comixnow.com/i/cw/common/66001453/a0002_superman-space-age_page103.jpg

The pimp has a knife, and Superman is flying above him. And the pimp is threatening him as if Superman wasn't literally flying above him? What.

"I am unconcerned". Brilliant writing.

And then the horribly drawn panel with the pimp putting the knife to the girl. That's just bad drawing.

The rest of the "action" is just vomit. Who ok'd this? There's absolutely no reason to make four drawings of Superman flying down, lightly grabbing him, lightly picking him up, and lightly putting him back on the ground.

I'm sorry, but this is trash. The context makes it even worse.

I disagree. And that’s ok. Not everything is for everyone.

How dare you be a normal person on the webs!

[–] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Haha!

I would have preferred Superman pulled out a gun and shot him, Indiana Jones style.
