    Pretty sure this is how "50 Shades of Gray" was made.

    Also, Abby is awesome. Keep up with TLH because it's the tits!

    I love League of Legends, but seriously...screw you, Teemo.

    I love that Mike's taken the time to make his drawing of the Elsa statue accurate!

    To be fair, Elsa would fit right in with all the mutants and superheroes of the Marvel universe. You should see all the vs. topics that crop up on comic forums that involve Elsa.

    Are Disney taking notes on this?
    Because if they make a Disney Infinity movie that ignores the separate continuities in the interest of having everyone in it, I'm down.

    I know it doesnt really matter but I need to say it because reasons. Earth 616 is the main continuity a better joke earth would have been Earth 772 as that one of the earths that the "What if" series was set on. Also acceptable are 774, 7712, 9904 or 1228 to name a few.

    I was thinking the exact same thing as soon as I saw Earth-616. He could have picked literally any other number.

    Man... I feel bad about myself for not being able to laugh at the second panel because I know that Earth 616 is the main continuity universe. DAMN YOU COMIC BOOKS! YOU'VE RUINED MY LIFE!

    Maybe we're seeing a story from Gabe-1610's universe? He does look younger...

    You sure Hulk and Venom haven't teamed up before? Venom keeps doing the whole back and forth thing and it wouldn't be the weirdest Hulk team up.

    I don't know what any of the other numbers stand for and even I know that 616 is the standard-issue universe. That is literally the only number I could tell you.

    That having been said, the Lone Ranger ought to be grateful for the opportunity. He's about ready to join Felix the Cat and Popeye on the fictional-character scrapheap. Getting played with like this is about the best he's going to do.

    When did Bob Montana take over Mike's body? The style--especially Gabe's mouth--is pretty reminiscent of the Archie Comics.

    The only other one I remember most of the time is Earth-199999, because that's the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ha! they even have a designation for the Marvel versus Capcom games. They take place in Earth-TRN177.

    You know what? Nanowrimo's cancelled on account of the world is stupid.
  • FunkyTownFunkyTown Registered User regular
    I think it's clear that the man who loves unicorns isn't upset because Elsa is there. He's upset because Elsa cannot possibly lose to all of the Avengers.

    Someone could make an argument about power level, etc, but Mike knows that Elsa earned over $2 billion compared to the Avengers over $1.5 billion. And cost less to make.

    The Mouse himself would break Thor's spine over his mighty knee if he even tried to talk back to Elsa.

    Venom has definitely fought on the good side enough times that you could make an argument for them being allies. Being friends with Hulk is the real trick. I don't think many of the Earth-bound Marvel characters can claim that honor.

    I think there's a second joke in here in that Noah doesn't know who "the punchers" names are, but he definitely knows who Elsa is which I think is hilarious. Like Elsa's the big star of this story, not the freaking Hulk, or Venom, or even Thor.

    To think this could all happen in Kingdom Hearts 3. Good comic guys.

    I really love how Mike drew the carpet in the middle panel. Simple yet very effective. It looks so soft!

    LOL OMG Thank you so much Candymancer, I must hunt down that story arc immediately. It's even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined.

    Wow, those are some timeless comic book panels right there. When were they published? It could have been 1968, it could have been yesterday. There's simply no way of knowing.

    Maybe this is why we've had to wait so long for KH3. They just had to wait for the licensing to clear. Now we've got Square, Classic Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars to play with.

    Yeah, I see the cowboy hat now too. At first, since we had a comic superhero theme going, I thought maybe it was Havok from back when his costume had the big rings on the head. haha!

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE.

    Not sure where you got your figures from, but even considering the increased cost of the Avengers, it's still on top. And that's not even counting the expanded universe films. The mouse literally doesn't have a property more lucrative than the Avengers, and probably never has.

    Okay, as soon as 2.0 lands, I've got to use the new enhanced toybox (that includes tools for adding text and making rich games) to make a game in which Hulk and Venom team up against Lone Ranger, and then Elsa happens. I have a first world-building project now.

    What is this from? I'm curious to know why Hulk and Venom are acting like the Super Powers.

    1) The joke that he was going for was that it was so screamingly 90's it hurt.

    2)
    Hulk eventually remembers that Venom is susceptible to sonics, he uses his handsmash to drive the symbiote away. As Venom writhes in agony Hulk observes that the only thing needed to end this nonsense is "a serious case of the clap". While Venom is down, Hulk informs him that he's here to help the earthquake victims. They finally see eye-to-eye and agree to work together.

    Who cares who made more money?

    The real question should be, "Who would rock a pretty princess dress harder, Elsa or the Hulk?"
