Posts like this make me miss the old way of awesoming posts.
Back then, an awesome post would be reposted in a forum set aside for the awesome posts, shared with the entire forum letting everyone know it was awesome regardless of which sub-forum it was posted in.
Now, you can click on the Best Of link, but it's so flooded that it's hard to pick out or read a thread and the truly awesome are drowned in a flood of pretty awesome.
I LOVE Sergio Aragones. That guy is insane. I remember one panel in some MAD he did of Conan (it might have been Groo, but I'm pretty sure it was a Conan spoof in MAD).
He had Conan rolling through a feast. In the first panel there was the standard feast fare (roast turkey, peas, lavish deserts, pig with an apple in its mouth, etc.). In the second panel, was the aftermath. Upturned dishes, turkey bones, a big old mess, but what really made me love his art and his attention to detail was the fact that the pig had been reduced to a perfect skeleton and in the skeletal mouth was an apple core.
holy crap. Did Conan remove the apple eat it and replace the core? No. After all, he didn't right any of the dishes right? He somehow, in a fit of ravenous food lust, ate the apple whilst it was still in the pigs mouth.
absolutely incredible.

That is a slick as hell Nova costume too
edit: oh no, cannot unsee Firestorms bulge
And sweaty Batman:
But overall, a pretty cool coordinated cosplay effort:
(Though was Spider-man really part of JLA vs Avengers?)
EDIT: Nevermind, can't reference those pics

The (IMG) tag only works with URLs for the actual images.
I don't see the spidey you are mentioning? And I feel bad but I can't help but chuckle at the aquaman costume, I don't know why, it's more like just some guy in a flashy speedo happened into the shot carrying a trident. " Uh Oh crazy uncle jimmy is in the sparkly shorts again, better call the home" , it's probably just a resolution thing
And there's Spidey in the middle fighting Metamorpho. Though man, the Falcon looks like Old Falcon
Tsk, I kind of wanted to see the Marvel Captain Marvels double-teaming DC Captain Marvel.

:shock:
The perspective on this makes it look like a bigger head was pasted on Aquaman's body.
PHRASING!
What I meant, was that I wanted to see both of Marvel's Captain Marvels fighting DC's Captain Marvel at the same time.
I actually searched for the other type. My soul is sad now

Of course. But you walked right into that Archer reference.
Then you're doing it wrong.
It seems you rarely see heroes hug or comfort civilians, but Superman is the one character who looks right doing it.

Whoever said that is wrong.
Dead wrong.
Then again, the dead baby is by far the least offensive thing about that.

Well you are missing out, because damn, there are some really good ones out there.
Louis CK's last special has a bit that qualifies. And while I would normally agree with you, i couldn't help but laugh while watching.
At the same time, it's a bit of a shame he couldn't come up with something, anything else he wanted to actually do with the character, considering what we ended up with kind of proves he had carte blanche to do just about anything with the character...short of fighting Al-Qaeda, that is.
That's one thing I largely appreciate about Grant Morrison. He takes a sort of Brian Eno attitude, where if he hits a wall, whether it's his own doing or something editorial, he almost always finds a way to land on his feet and go, 'ok, how can I use this to my advantage, instead of see this as a setback?' Sure, he doesn't always stick the landing, but anytime a creative person can think their way around obstacles instead of throwing a hissyfit, well, that's an amazingly admirable quality we all should seek to emulate.
On the other hand, part of me wonders how true it all is. Maybe it became true after it was so spectacularly reviled at first. You know how Tommy Wiseau now claims The Room was intended to be a comedy all along? Yeah that certainly wasn't the case, and I wonder if ASB&R is the same sort of thing.
