This is what Geebs wrote in the first thread, which was washed away in a Greg Land traced tidal wave of terrible Spider-Man follies:
So let us continue to mock things in comics that are bad.

Hey, do you hate when comics are bad? Disappointed by something? Want to talk about it? Do it here. Keep it out of the other threads. This is where you can vent, and warn others about what you don't like.
This is where you can be angry and make bad jokes and whatever. If I see bad jokes and anger and stupid nonsense in other threads, I'll probably infract you. If you want to discuss problems you have with the subject of a thread in that thread, you can, but I'm going to expect you to be civil about it.
This is especially true for the moment of the week thread. Those threads are for highlights. If you want to bitch about something in there, well, I'm not going to have much tolerance for it.
Oh and side note, the phrase "moment of the weak" is stupid and you should feel stupid for using it.
So let us continue to mock things in comics that are bad.

Cap Reborn was pretty bad as well, Ive said Im no fan of what seems, to me, to be such a rapid return after all the fuss about his death and frankly I think he works better as an icon for the moment but to do what was done? Boooooooooooring. And with Siege around the corner you know where its going.
Also why does the press never call Red Skull on wearing the Nazi symbol? People near Taylor Swift get called on it.
World of New Krpyton is ok, I like Jemms statement that they're basically in an inhabited galaxy and yet deem themselves important enough to just go rearrange planets and stars.
Get out of where? How does one escape one's own vagina?

Maybe.

So hit me. what have you got?
That might be cool, actually, since Spider-Man's civilian life only consisted of MJ, Aunt May, and Jonah for so long with no one character occupying the best friend position.

Marvel should do something big to really shake it up a bit. And then after they do that they shouldn't puss out and retcon it with a BND.
Problem was that they were on the verge of doing this. Killing off Aunt May, having his identity public, that would have really shaken things up.
Those events all suck. That's why they were omitted from history.
Same reason our history books don't cover Electric Lincoln and the revelation that Nixon was actually a fear bug.

So would Woodward be Hal Jordan and Bernstein be Jon Stewart?

Doomsday was cool until Loeb ruined it because Clark always had a bit of fear in fighting him, which makes Clark more human.

Bane was an intelligent dude from day one. Growing up in a South American prison he did two things inside his tiny cell; work out, and read books that he bribed people into bringing to him. When he finally decided to go to America and take out Batman, he used a multi-step plan, deducing Bruce's identity by looking at (no shit) the chins of rich, athletic, white men in Gotham city, and then releasing all the Arkham inmates, tiring Batman out by making him spend several weeks rounding up all the dangerous escapees. Only once Batman was already deliriously exhausted both physically and mentally did Bane finally make his move, and give Bruce a beating.

And he would've gotten away with it too, if not for a brainwashed ninja frenchman in bat armor!
Bane had nightmares about bats when he was younger, probably because the cell he was imprisoned in was routinely infested with assorted vermin. Bane, devoted to strength and overcoming his fears, would later have a nightmare where he fought and killed a giant bat. Later, an American he met in prison, Bird, told him about Gotham and its infamous Batman.
Bane took his nightmare as a vision, and decided to go test himself against Batman.

He had a life before Batman Robos. Geez.
I don't like when a character's visual design is incorporated as a practical plot point like this. It seems like selective realism. Superhero costumes are designed to look cool, period, so poking at them from a practical perspective is cheating and self-destructive. If someone recognized Bruce because of his exposed chin, it makes no sense that he never covered that shit up. In fact, if Batman was recognized due to his goddamn chin, then everyone running around in a domino mask (possibly with their long, DNA-containing hair flying everywhere) begins to look like an absolute idiot, as do all their friends, lovers and coworkers who somehow never recognize them.
I just like to accept that everyone's costume conceals their identity equally and nearly perfectly, and all impracticalities should be chalked up to artistic license. Otherwise, the whole genre starts to unravel. Spider-Man'd be the only one with a sensible costume, and Ollie Queen and Superman would have to be Grade-A retards.
MJ identified Spider-Man by his package. That suit is very flattering.
I need to go find more comics to enjoy and/or bitch about. I need more Dark Reign Hood/Avengers stuff.
I'm pretty sure it's actually happened once that someone figured out Oliver Queen and Green Arrow have, oh my god, the exact same beard.

Nothing that can be posted.
yeah i was gonna say, mia from green arrow immediately recognized that oliver queen was the same dude who saved her life the night before because you don't soon forget a man with a beard that fucking stupid.
well, that's also maybe the only panel from tarot that anyone would be allowed to post here.
if you're really curious though, chris sims does occasional reviews of tarot on his blog, complete with scans.
here's the link to the post where he reviews the issue with the haunted vagina. WARNING IT IS NOT SAFE FOR WORK OR SANITY
I really wish someone would just give Ollie a normal goatee. Of course, I'm a big fan of the old clean-shaven look, where he had red gloves and boots.
