Er - whatever happened to Lois Lane? That is Superman and Supergirl making out, right?
Airelle - It is not Superman - although it takes kissing cousins to a new level.
Oh, who the heck is that, then? I'm only nominally familiar with comic book characters, after all.
Superhero incest. We have reached a new low. Eeeewwwww!!!!
It's the evil Superman from Kandor, the bottled Kryptonian city... don't ask
Jeff -- Okay, now I know you missed the Bronze Age and the Silver Age.
This sort of thing has been going on for quite some time now. Catch up.
Ragnell - you're right it has been hinted at before, but have we ever had beastility before as with Monsieur Mallah and The Brain.
You know, it's no wonder people have such a negative opinion of comic book fans these days. Comic fans used to be the quiet, geeky guys who lived in their parent's basements, unwashed and unkempt, drinking Kool Aid and playing D&D in their adult sized superhero footsie jammies. Now there are many parents who see comic fans are sleezy, sexual perverts and view comic books as nothing more than softcore porn. Maybe they're right. Imagine leaving this Superman/Supergirl pic out on the coffee table alongside the pic of Monsieur Mallah(an ape) sexing up Brain. How did comics sink so far down into the gutter??
Jeff, some comics have always been in the gutter. Im still disturbed by Superman and Supergirl making out back when Sgirl was 15! It's just that we all realize that some of this stuff is just a product of some very odd writers and we choose to make fun of it and ignore it overall.
Oh and Ragnell - Arielle only got into a lot of comics more recently, she didn't grow up with the older stuff at her disposal the way a lot of us did.
I gotta tell you the truth, my comic guy tells me that several parents have told him they won't let their kids come into his shop anymore. They think comic books are softcore porn(after flipping through them and looking at the covers) and for that reason will not allow their children to set foot in his shop. And you should see the sexual deviants who frequent the shop I go to. I am often felt up upon entry or asked to join a conversation about the benefits of bi-sexuality or how to go to the next size up cockring. Maybe it's cuz I live in the Northeast, a stone's throw from NYC, but I gotta say the customer fanbase has really changed in the past 5 years or so. Comic fans used to be some of the greatest, most intelligent, warm-hearted people you could know. Not anymore. They live for gore, sex and violence. Just take a gander at today's comic book covers and you'll see what I mean.
Wow Jeff... I'm glad I don't go to your comic book store. Both stores in Brandon are nice clean stores with respectful customers and even Demolition next to USF is a fairly nice store. Our creepy store around here just involves men that look at me as if they've never seen a woman before.
They probably haven't. =D
