Things I Never Thought I'd See

I know it's not a Marvel or DC title. And I know it's most certainly NOT a children's title. But from Irredeemable #6:

An ad guaranteed not to have appeared in WWII era comicsI never, ever, EVER thought I see a beer ad in a comic book.

Especially a Japanese beer.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I mean, I'm thrilled BOOM! can make money from an unusual sponsor, because comics that are profitable are a good thing. But on the other hand, how long until some moron decides to cause a massive media kerfluffle by "exposing" that people are "using comic books to sell alcohol to children??"

Plus, I don't even think it's that good a beer. Now, if it were Lion Stout...

The MOST Important Disney/Marvel Question

In last week's The Incredibles #0, the bad guys have summoned The Confederacy Of Crime!!

Amongst their members:

What if Nick Fury fought WWII in ancient Egypt??OMG.

A mummy...with an eyepatch? Oh, lordy, what nerdvana.

(In full honesty, I initially thought the pipe was overkill, but it's grown on me since).

And this guy's name??

You HAVE to love how he calls living people 'breathers'That's right: Cap'n Mummy!!

Please, please, please tell me that Cap'n Mummy's rights will travel along to Marvel!!

(Or, if not, that Boom will work him into Irredeemable as soon as possible!)

By the way, who is that standing behind Cap'n Mummy?!?

What If Batcave trophies came to life?!?AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Now this guy's gotta meet Two Face!!


Demented joy from
Mark Waid/Landry Walker and Marcio Takara. More, please (before it's too late).
