Some Animal Man.

[skybard.insanejournal.com]

Two pages from when Animal Man met his maker, but first, an unrelated panel from the same trade:



The whole scene made me love the Crime Syndicate of America, but this panel in particular.

Recap: Animal Man has met his maker, who took him out and pitched him against some bad guys...so that he could run through his credits. Animal Man gets his arse kicked.





I love this whole trade. It really makes you think. :) (Apart from the Red Bee bit, which just made me feel sad. ._.)

So, what would you do if you found out your life was a comic, scansdaily?

So, what would you do if you found out your life was a comic, scansdaily?

First I'd wonder why anyone would read me, my life is boring as hell, unless it's some Walter Mitty thing where they see me going through normal things and then imagining all sorts of cool adventures.

Then I'd see if I had superpowers or could get them. 'Cause duh. Though I'm not sure if I'd become a superhero, I don't really have the temperment for that. I'd see if there was a way to make money off of it, like if I had flight or superspeed I'd start a parcel delivery service, or become a stuntman or special effects guy with other powers.

If I lived in 616, I'd approach the X-Men to become their publicist/public relations guy/whatever. I'd get all the legal stuff taken care of, then get the licensing for comic books, action figures, books, TV shows, movies, all that good stuff, based on them. Because if you were watching a cartoon about the X-Men and see how they keep trying to protect the people that hate and fear them, well, you wouldn't fear them as much, would you. It worked for the Fantastic Four, after all.

If I was in DC or 616, I'd also approach various superheroes and try to help them with their personal problems. Be their Dr. Blink, as it were.

I'd also be awfully tempted to track down supervillains like Luthor, Joker, and Norman Osborne and... "take care" of them.
