What To Do In Case You Get Attacked By A Shark.

I'm pulling some bits for a Batmanimation post this weekend. In the meantime, here's a special lesson for all you beach swimmers out there...

I feel better knowing you're all a little bit safer now.

We Give Bad Guys The Boot - In Super Hero Suits

Man. It's one of those days.

Woke up feeling like i'm in the wrong universe...

Well...  At least they're not dolls...

How many sides were on that damn bed?

Now, if you'll excuse me... I've got a corn dog craving that needs to be destroyed...

screens from the wrong world? (Legends Of Tomorrow and Guardians Of The Galaxy)

What The Hell's Going On Out There?

It's been said that Love knows no boundaries...

Ah... The Brain and Mssr. Mallah. Such a pair - an enhanced French Gorilla and a jar of grey matter. The classic story of the scientist who creates his own love. Mad Science indeed.

But - who is The Brain? How did he grow up to be this twisted fellow (term used loosely)?

What could he have been like as a child?

Let's find out...

Hmm.

It all seems quite the natural development now, doesn't it?

Who knows how long it may be before i try to resume any of the regular features around here. Meanwhile, here's some Friday Fun & Games tucked into this post:

Yeah. They got some bad kids over across the water. You should compare the Menace level of our Dennises...  Dennii...  What's the plural of Dennis?

Return From Fae?

As mentioned yesterday, we're ripping systems open and rebuilding today, so offline most of it. But for a quick post, i'm going do a minor spoiler on Infinity War. Since it's just getting disk release, we'll go ahead and put a spoiler buffer here so you  can avoid even the minor reveal.

Post continues after the trio of Infinity War posters -

  Okay, we're back. 

Now, can we take a moment to appreciate Black Widow's reaction... 

... when she looks over at Thor's arrival with a walking tree and gun-toting raccoon that no-one on Earth has seen before. Obviously, Thor is returning from one of the Fae realms after running around in Faerie Tale land...

...now she really believes he's a "god"

Okay - it's been said before, but - I'm off!

Strange Wanderings

Some days my mind just wanders on its own, pondering odd intersections...

I found the results amusing enough to share.

The Truth Behind The Scenes Of Making Comics

Previously, Stan Lee showed us behind the scenes of how comics are made.

Of course, that was the "Official Version" of what happens. Today, we're going behind the scenes, deep into the world of comics, to see the dark truth of it all...

Now you know.
And, yes - this also came from Timely/Atlas/Marvel. It actually came out a few years before that booklet from The Man.
