Friday Night Fights--Saved By The Bell Style!!

For this section of Friday Night Fights, we must end the fight with an onomatopoeia.

But sometimes, the onomatopoeia that ends the fight is not the onomatopoeia of the last punch.

The Kingpin's wife, Vanessa, has given him 24 hours to completely disconnect himself from his criminal life, or she won't take him back.

Well, he does that, but there's one task left:

Kill Spider-Man!!  

(Sure, Spidey has a broken arm, but if it's your last day as a criminal, you're not gonna fight honorably, right?)

So the fight go on for (literally) 6 hours!!

Lots of chasing (and onomatopoeia) ensues:

But eventually...

But wait--I said it wasn't the onomatopoeia of the last punch which ended the fight!! So what did?

BONG! BONG! BONG!

Spacebooger wonders why no one has come out with a deluxe treasury edition depicting all 6 hours of the battle...

This Is Your Comic Book On Drugs! Any Questions?!?

So, as we saw yesterday, the Red Skull and the Kingpin are having a little bit of a tiff over turf--specifically, who gets to control the drug trade.

Now, you might think the treason that these titans of evil are interested in the narcotics profession is just to make money. Hahahahaha...boy are you naive!

You see, there are very important philosophical reasons the Nazi and the gangster won't say no to drugs.

For example, the Skull says drugs will destroy America:

Whereas Wilson Fisk says that drugs will ultimately make America stronger!!

See, and you just thought it was all about greed and profit!!

So make sure you take time this weekend to roll up to your local pusher and ask him which reason he has for dealing--to make America weaker, or stronger? His answer might surprise you...

[By the way, there's still plenty of time for you to saunter over to Spacebooger's crib and vote for the titanic (and nearly-naked) Kingpin/Red Skull tussle in this week's Friday Night Fights!]

Friday Night Fights--Thunderdome Style!!

For this week's Friday Night Fights, we have some classic villain-on-villain action.

A new designer drug named "Ice" has taken New York by storm, and is eating in the Kingpin's turf and old-school drug trade.

Well, lo and behold, it turns out that the Red Skull is behind Ice!!

Observe (and click to embiggen) as two lords of evil (in Yankee Stadium!!) discuss the merits of selling drugs for fascism vs. selling drugs for capitalism:

Ah, but talk is cheap. Let's settle this the comic book way!

Oh, it is on. But first, the disrobing!

And this one is for the ladies:

Try and erase that image from your memory!!

THUNDERDOME!!!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

And that's why you don't fight the Kingpin one-on-one!!

Spacebooger really hopes this battle happens during a Captain America guest appearance in Season 2 of Daredevil!
