Does this seem sexual to you?

Cover to 2000 AD Prog 1485 (26 Apr 2006).


I considered re-captioning the word balloon, but I couldn't really think of anything more sexual.

If you don't find anything remotely sexual about this cover, then take comfort in the fact that you have lived a wholesome life.

Iron Man Versus, Part 19

Ho ho ho! Welcome to a very special "Iron Man Versus", where old Shell-head shows us the true meaning of Christmas! Lets take a gander at the cover to Iron Man #254 (1990), where the Golden Avenger squares off against the Crimson Sleigh-rider himself! (Sort of.)

Behold, Iron Man vs. Santa Clause!


Unfortunately, the awesomeness of the cover does not appear in the issue itself, nor is the story called "Ho-Ho-Homicide!", which I think is just a shame. Really, what better title could you have for anything, EVER?!

Okay, so it's not really Santa Clause. It's actually Spymaster disguised as jolly old Saint Nick so that he can crash a Christmas party so he can... actually, why don't I just show you?

Even though Iron Man doesn't directly fight Santa in the issue, this bit is pretty good.

After this the Spymaster unbeards himself and a fight ensues in an entirely predictable manner until on the last page we learn the true meaning of Christmas, or something.

What?! That doesn't make any sense at all! Why is he letting him go? Because it's Christmas?! But, the kids... the endangered kids... he... I mean... aw, screw it. Yeah, there's been enough fighting today. I'm sure he'll remember your Christmas kindness and never beat you to within an inch of your life after he finds out Iron Man and Tony Stark are one and the same... oh.

Well, there you have it. I bet you never knew Iron Man fought Santa Clause (sort of).

Merry Christmas!

Some comics...

Some comics are well written.

Some comics have nice art on every page.

A rare few comics have great art and are well written.

Conan The Cimmerian #15 has a nice set of titties on the cover.

I'm betting that's about all it has...

Granov, Iron Man, and four hot chicks

Adi Granov draws four of the hottest chicks ever to caress a suit of armor.

Iron Man Movie Pics

There is a good article about Comic-Con that has an awesome new picture from the Iron Man movie set.

I love this picture because it bears a striking resemblance to my favorite Iron Man cover (vol 4, issue #8).


In the photo Stark is working on the hand from his more advanced armor. Below is another pic from the movie of his "original" armor. Sweet. It looks like he has a flame-thrower on his arm.

Civil War #7 Cover

Marvel released wallpapers for the cover of Civil War #7. It is sweet! Hero vs Hero. The two leaders the only ones standing. Wicked Awesome.


There is also a sweet variant cover. Tell me you don't want to read this book! Hits stores Feb 21, unless they postpone it again...
