I enjoy the Argentinian cartoon El Arca (the story told in part from the animals' POV in a too-sexed-up-for-its-own-good rehash of The Lion King) despite its beautiful but utterly preposterous depiction of the Ark as an elaborate skyscraper-sized wooden cruise ship with luxury cabins for each pair of animals, complete…

Or the familiar one of Slim ridin' the bomb down.

I didn't have a bad case of it—bleaching it when it became noticeable—but it was persistent and I worried about bleach eventually causing damage.

And to think I felt sorry for this clown when Osborn's Thunderbolts messed him up.

LOL WHUT. What's with the hubcap, Cap? Where's your shield? You might as well use that for a helmet.

Oh, damn, how could I forget the black-and-white magazines! They weren't consistently awful, but marked by some very bad decisions in their attempts to show us how edgy they were. There's Howard the Duck, in which Bill Mantlo decided it was time for Howard and Beverly to have sex; Tomb of Dracula, which has a…

Armagideon Time has a nice Snowbird article describing how Byrne did this (and all the other dumb shit throughout his run on Alpha Flight) to punish the readers for his frustrations with Marvel. Very professional.

My picks that didn't make the list, probably since Marvel made large cash off of them:

But that stuff eventually improves, if it does not kill.

They are struck unexpectedly by micrometeorites, one of which infects one of the scientists, John Link, with proto-life, causing him to evolve

If the comic book Batman '66 is half as successful financially as it has been critically, that might have turned a few heads in the boardroom.

"Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state? It's the unspoken truth of humanity, that you crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life's joy in a mad scramble for power, for identity. You were made to be ruled. In the end, you will always kneel."

Executives just understand that there is a "hot property" out there (say it as if you were saying "Hot Pockets") called Adventure Time. They don't know shit about it beyond that; one of them glances quickly through Google Images and reports to the rest of the room that it involves an armed boy, a dog, a king, and some…

I see a lot of people have the same reaction I did: Deep admiration; high recommendation; gut-wrenching sobbing fit at the very mention of the film; refusal to ever watch it again.

Please, don't get me started. I don't even watch much TV anymore; you can hardly find a cop show or scary movie without casual hyper-graphic violence and gore these days that you couldn't even put in an NC-rated splatter film twenty years ago. It's not even for shock value as for titillation—which is its own…

Just the constant barrage of graphic and/or sexual violence that plagues the Big Two these days. (I think I picked the phrase up reading arguments over Identity Crisis.) DC was worse about it back between 52 and Blackest Night when it felt it needed to bring up—or depict—cannibalism in as many titles as possible. When…

Most forms of contract—from one's religion to one's pension—are someone's attempt to deceive you by demanding something from you now, in exchange for some great reward that you can only attain after it's too late to do anything once you realize you've been fooled. Your pastor gets influence over you; your company…

Not sure of his exact age, but yeppers. In the "damaged" timeline, Wonder Woman and Aquaman, as monstrously-bulked-up leaders of their warring races, kill lots of people. Arguably, Billy's death isn't even the worst (even though it's orchestrated to occur in front of a group of terrified children); Diana executes…

The Flashpoint Paradox, the animation based on Flashpoint; in the mucked-up timeline that is ultimately "corrected" into the New 52, Diana uses her magic lasso to force Captain Marvel (named "Captain Thunder" here) to change back to Billy then butchers him with a broken sword. The whole cartoon is one giant,…
