What if #3 What if Iron Man was even more of a dick.

No, not really. It's "What if the Avengers had never been." I ran across the scans from the awesome Grantbridge St and other Misadventures. I actually read this comic a million years ago. No not when it came out, that was 77, nephew. I was beyond wee. In fact, I think that I checked this out, specifically, because it was the issue from the month and year I was born. But I can't remember.

The gist is that the Avengers never teamed up, so instead the Hulk was the Hulk that we all know and love running around smashing everything, instead of the relatively emo-y Hulk that was an Avengers member.

Buzzkill, Hulk.

Anyway, there aren't Avengers, but there's still Antman and Wasp and Iron Man and Iron Man straight up makes suits for the Pyms, and for Rick Jones. Because I don't know who you want watching YOUR back in a fight, but I want Rick Jones. Rick Jones made the Hulk on accident, because he was too dumb to read a Keep Out Explosions of Gamma Doom sign. He's hanger-on-ed to pretty much every event, and hung out with pretty much every at some point or another. I think he rolled with Rom the Space Knight for awhile. Anyway, pretty much he's just a normal wing man. He has no powers, no skills (I think he plays guitar, though), no real value, except keeping you company in between battles that he probably, accidentally led you in to.

Anyway. Not the point.

In this What If, Iron Man is a dick.

And Rick is dumb. You don't flap your wings in the Starktech, dipshit. You ever seen Iron Man FLAPPING HIS DAMN ARMS? Ugh, Jones. Seriously, putting Jones and Pym on the same team is just about the dumbest move you could pull. These guys will go out of their way to accidentally kill you. Their friend.

Oh, Tony. You brought this upon yourself.

Tony Stark does not take back talk from Rick Jones.

Dr. Strange Schools The New Avengers On What A Real Super Villain is...

Oh, Piotr

I was always a little weirded out that no ne ever called out Colossus for messing around with a teenager. I mean, I'm pretty sure that Colossus was 20-21, but really, if you're not in high school you probably don't need to be messing around with high school kids.

Also, if you run a kindergarten through high school, you probably shouldn't let your adult former students hang around so much.

I guarantee Cyclops was banging the kids in between Jean, Medelyne and Emma. Because Cyclops is a creep.

Martian Manhuner panels from Detective Comics 304

I've been reading Showcase Present: Martian Manhunter #1 because I love the Martian Manhunter so much. There are some really awesome panels in there - which is normal for silver age DC.

Also, I colored them.

Because I like coloring things.

Sometimes.

What's worse?

Not remembering the guy in the room is deathly "allergic" to something, or publicly announcing your local superhero's achilles heel?

Chief, you're either really dumb or a huge dick.

And while I think Manhunter is being polite in his comment, I think he's sort of wishing cancer on the Chief.

This next one is the best comic book panel of all time.

"Alright, Boys, this here is the Crime College and I'm gonna learn you right.

This here is the Gun 101.

A) this is where you put your itchy trigger finger.

B) This is where you hold it.

C) This is the part that shoots out the death.

Got it? Alright, let's rob a bank."

They're paying a lot for this class.

I want to paint this one. Just for the ABC breakdown of a gun.

Iron Justice in "CORNERED BY DR. MAYHEM!"

New stuff coming soon, I promise!

I'm actually working on some new stuff I'm going to be posting soon. A little comic I drew tonight, another forthcoming Avengers comic (sort of a sequel), and hopefully another angst fueled list. But in the meantime here's today Ricky Thunder panel - one of my favorite yet.

Ricky Thunder is over at www.kylestarks.com, of course.

Also, there's been a lot of interest lately on the old Guinea Pig Theatre. I'm glad to see that people are still showing some sort of interest. It's really appreciated.

Halfway through Ricky Thunder

If you haven't been reading my webcomic, waiting for it to build a head of steam, I would say you could probably read it now and have enough to enjoy it. I hope!

Start here!

I'm totally hoping to get more draw-draw up here, btw, don't give up on me. More comic stuff forthcoming - the holiday season is a rough one, though,
