Manic Monday Bonus--Who's Got Super Senses?!?

It's one of those fun little features from Marvel's annuals!! Daredevil discusses the spectrum of super-senses in Marvel-616:

It's kinda small, and the word balloons are not in the same spot as the picture they're describing, so we here at Slay Monstrobot have gone to great lengths to arrange things nicely for you. Enjoy!!















Really, DD? You're going to doubt the flippin' Watcher?

From Daredevil Annual #5 (1989)

When In Doubt...90s!

OK, exhausted/full agenda. So I'm calling mental/physical health day.

In the meantime, please enjoy this cover of Ghost Rider, Wolverine and Gambit fighting the Brood.

Man. 1995, you know?

Tales From The Quarter Bin--Dutch Treat!!

One of my favoritest things in the world is to find foreign translations of American funny books in the bowels of the Quarter Bin.

For example, who would want to read this drab book...

...when you could read this one instead?!?

Nope, that's not an error, fan--apparently, in Dutch, "Spiderman" is not hyphenated! Go figure!

It's not the most exciting story in the world, even though it does have Rocket Racer...

But it's just silly fun to read this stuff, and give Google Translate a workout.

Also in this issue--a reprint of:

Yup, that original Wolverine mini-series by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller...

Yeah, it's the series that gave us the Hand. They suck as much in Dutch as they do in English.

Oh, and there are ads for other reprint comics!

Paul Smith's X-Men stint has been criminally underrated, if you ask me...

Remember these guys?

Remember when Marvel had the Indiana Jones license?

Hey, um...Disney?!? Where's our Indian Jones comics?

And, as often happened, foreign publishers often had rights to more than one American comic company:

What, there's no Dutch word for "Atari"?

The original version of Spectacular Spider-Man #104 is from 1985. Portions of Wolverine #1 & #2 are from 1982. I can't tell you what year Peter Parker De Spektakulaire Spiderman is from, except obviously it's 1985 or later...

Manic Monday Triple Overtime--Don't Get Between Wolverine And His Porn!!

It's ye olden times, and Professor X and some of the X-Men are visiting Chicago, to try and recruit young Kitty Pryde for their "school."

The Malt Shoppe? How charming, how quaint!

And just look how wholesome and friendly the place is!

Uhhh...what are Wolverine and Colossus doing in the background there?!?

Penthouse?!?! In The Malt Shoppe?!?! But it's spelled "Shoppe"--they can't carry adult magazines like that right in the open!

Penthouse AND Playboy?!?! What the hell kind of Malt Shoppe is this?!?!

Well, fortunately, the some Hellfire Club goons show up, and Wolverine doesn't get to beat the crap out of the kindly old porn and ice cream proprieter.

However...

...there's still some karma at work, as The Malt Shoppe is blown to bits.

The moral of our story: Don't carry skin mags in your ice cream parlor. 

Also, don't bother Wolverine he's he's reading those skin mags.

Manic Monday Triple Overtime: Avengers 3?!?

Look, you can have a boring old "we're going to fight Thanos over the Infinity Gems" story for the next Avengers movie.

Or you can have this:

The choice is obvious.

See, in this alternate dimension, Captain America was quick enough to rescue Dr. Erskine from being assassinated. So, their was Super-Soldier Serum a-plenty, and the U.S. won WWII in about a month.

The result?

Yay!

Yay?

Definitely not yay!

See, it turns out that Cap still ended up getting frozen. But the Red Skull had Arnim Zola put his mind into a cloned body of Steve Rogers, and that's the guy we stupid Americans kept electing president. Well, he did keep giving us serum to make us "perfect," so...

Anyway, hobo Namor still finds the frozen Cap...

But S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Frank Castle has been given a special suit by Tony Stark to help track down Namor, and...

Man!

Well, after Cap thaws out, of course he gets these guys to stop fighting, and follow him!

They go recruiting. And they find Logan:

See, there was no Canadian Weapon X project, because the U.S. conquered Canada (sorry, Siskoid!) And...

But it's OK, because he's a good wendigo, you see.

They find Sam Wilson, and since Hank Pym has been murdered...

And Thor joins up because Thor, and...

Well, they kill the Skull, shut off the super-soldier serum supply, and free America. But...

They all die in the process. The end.

Sure, it's a downer ending. But seriously, aren't you sick of Infinity crap?

Friday Night Fights--CapWolf Style!!

Friday Night Fights on Halloween?

Well, hell, then, I'm going with this:

Oh, yeah.

For you youngsters, the wicked Doctor Nightshade had captured Captain America...

And she made him part of her experiment to turn people into...

WEREWOLVES!!!

Ah, but the Super-Soldier Serum enabled to Capwolf to resist her control, and escape...

...but she sent the rest of her werewolves after him...






Oh, yeah, I almost forgot...

She also has a bestial Wolverine under her control, and sent him after Capwolf, too!!









WHOOM!!!!!

Spacebooger is very disappointed that the third Cap Movie isn't Captain America: CAPWOLF!!!

Now is the time for you to go and vote for my fight. Why? If Werewolf Captain America kicking the crap outta Wolverine isn't worth your vote, I don't know what is! So go and vote!!
