Comics’ Best Combo Platters

ground forces : Blah . Ninjas : Meh . Man - Bats : Eh . army of ninja - human race - bats : Awesome . Mash - ups are n’t only meant to liven up episode of Glee . Comics’ve been throwing random shit together until it works for years . See the best monster mashes comics have to offer !

One of the things I like effective about comic strip is they require no constraint . Most methods of narrative - tell welfare from some moderation . Comics are like the machine pile - up scene in the Blues Brothers movies . The more you add , the better it gets . No matter what the problem , it can be gear up by stack on a little more .

job One : Unpopular Subject

Family Residence Damage Tornado Stlois

countenance ’s start at the bottom of the barrel : nazi . From the Batfamily to the Von Trapp Family , everyone detest Nazis . There is just no way to make them work . Or that ’s what you ’d say if you did n’t work in comedian . If you did , you would see that Nazis are a starting stage , a good , prosperous - geezerhood origination that you’re able to build up into something extraordinary .

maltreat One : Make them big . At first glimpse , this seems like the haywire means to go . All it does is make elephantine Nazis . That ’s no fun .

Step Two : Make them robot . Robots ameliorate everything . Cops , rebellions in galaxies a long time ago and far , far away , Elmo dolls : there ’s nothing that ca n’t be spice up by add together robot . And yet , a gargantuan robot Nazi still does n’t have the flush we demand . What else can be done ?

Last Of Us 7 Ellie Crash

This . That ’s what . You take that gargantuan Nazi robot , and you make it into an octopus . A ground octopus . In a graveyard . Because , that ’s why .

Problem Two : A Plethora of Lame Concepts

Start with a shivering basis : literally . When is the last time you see someone on stilts ? If you’re able to think of , then I applaud your store . stilt plover are things that provide no value and make the routine of walk both harder and more dangerous . They ’re a abominable concept all on their own .

Mission Impossible 8 Underwater

Now take that dreaded conception and make a supervillain out of it . Stiltman has terrorized the Marvel Universe since the mid-sixties , presumably by well-nigh falling on people and then sue them for damages . Sure , the stilts are electronic and look like high - rises , but a crappy villain way , right smart up in the airwave is still a icky villain .

Now rip off crappy scoundrel with a sadass tribute character . A few week ago we ascertain the introduction of Lady Stiltman . For those of you not paying aid , I will repeat the name : LADY StiltMAN .

This is bad piled on bad piled on bad . Nothing can hold open it . Except something worse .

Lesdilley

I do n’t know how adding a pair of novelty high-pitched heels saved this construct , but it did . Some things just require a cherry on top to turn out delicious . I ’m the last person in the world to champion place more comic book woman in heel , but when I see this I can only model back in wonder . Touché , Marvel . Touché .

Problem Three : whatchamacallum That Have Been Done to Death

“ Who would win in a fight , ” is the kind of tired hypothesis that was n’t even fresh in Stand By Me . Now it ’s torturesome . We ’ve encounter Batman versus Superman a thousand different times . We ’ve seen Batman versus Captain America , and Captain America versus Iron Man and Iron Man versus Wolverine , and Wolverine versus the Punisher , and the Punisher versus Everydamnone . At this point , the horse is all in .

Mission Impossible 8 Tom Cruise Hang

In comics , there is only one answer to that : Zombie Horse .

When Marvel pittedThe Incredible Herculesagainst Thor for the 2d time , they just kept try things until it mold . Last time they had to lift up the full metropolis of New York . This sentence , they just had the two heroes switch outfits . I do n’t know why that ’s even cooler , but it is . Last time it was a portion of pyrotechny . This time there was more raillery . Again , for some reason it go . But it needed something more .

And this is why funnies will always triumph over other media . When you see that literal purple nurple , splayed gloriously across the page , film sound effects sick in comparison .

Daredevil Born Again Episode 1 Matt Murdock

Problem Four : It ’s Not Crazy Enough Yet

You see , there ’s this matter called theGreen Lantern Corps . They ’re space cops with shelling - powered optical maser wish - rings . Sound safe ? No ?

But look ! They ’re in reality part of a turgid Rainbow Corps , in which each color represents a particular emotions . Now is it good ? No again ?

M101 Pinwheel Galaxy

The crimson ring is for cult . carmine Lantern Corps extremity have rings that are powered by anger . And they can spew something that looks like rake but sting you like lava . And even though they are alien , some of them just materialize to attend like earth creatures .

And so , without further ado , I present to you the crowning accomplishment of graphic novels to this appointment :

Ruffles the Rage Kitty .
