Iron Snail instead of slug. Always do love a good pun.

Pun?

[biod]

"Metal slug", as in a bullet and a metal mollusc.

[icon_uk]

Ah okay. I'm familiar with slug being a term for bullet, I've never heard "metal slug" being used though.

I won't lie, I'd read a whole series about IRON SNAIL.

Shamanticore had the best name, but I like the look of Double Bluff.

Also, interesting to see a "villain" with some smarts. "No you fools, just tail him. We'll take the element of surprise later."

I think all the weird heroes have been awesome so far- super creative. Iron Snail is great, and Shamanticore, but Captain Lachrymose is still my favorite.

Glad to see Mieville's imagination doesen't stop in comics.

OH MY GOD THE SQUID.

I actually have the comic where he appeared. IIRC it was the last silver age Dial H for hero story. (Or maybe it was the bronze age).

Man, even without the awesomely whacked out super hero concepts, this was a massive nostalgia bomb for me.

[pyrrhocorax]

I just what a whole issue where he changes into a new hero every page, with full stats given. And maybe they could come on collectable cards! Maybe in my dreams...

Well, we did have the Identity Addict in Rachel Pollack's Doom Patrol, some of his/her identities were truly bizarre.

Iron Snail reminds me a little of this chap

[beyondthefringe]

I just wanted to see Pelican Army in action!

[ensiform]

This is the greatest thing I have ever seen. This year, anyway. Truly.

SHAMANTICORE.

HOLE PUNCH.

MUST BUY.

*Would like mini-series of ShaManticore*

So far I like Boy Chimney and Iron Snail. Both are awesome. Interested in what Double Bluff can do.
