Sunday Funnies: MARK TRAIL

Like most comic strips that outlive the lifespan of the original creators, MARK TRAIL can sometimes be very boring and bland. That said, this story here proves that it's not the character that's unexciting, it's just the crappy writers that do the daily strip. I'll admit this ain't the best comic ever made, but it's miles above whatever storyline is running in the current strip.

I'm posting the whole comic under the idea that this is public domain by now. If it ain't and I do happen to get a DMCA notice, it'd probly be best if you read it now before it gets deleted.

ENJOY!

Sunday Funnies: MAIL ON SUNDAY

No need to really explain this I don't think. It's from the Sunday paper, circa 1987.

Archie Flips Out

Now here's a weird one for y'all. Possibly the most violent Archie comic I've ever come across. If I wasn't seeing it in a real Archie publication, I'd swear this came out of a MAD magazine or something. I'm kinda surprised that this got printed. Take a look for yerself.

MARVEL NOW!

Just a few tidbits from some recent Marvel titles:

from DEADPOOL #11, by Brian Posehn, Gerry Duggan, & Mike Hawthorne



If you've never seen it, here's the scene from RUN, RONNIE, RUN that Deadpool is referencing. Funny stuff. I'm surprised that anybody else even watched this movie, much less that they'd do an homage in a Deadpool comic. Small world.

from INDESTRUCTIBLE HULK #8, by Mark Waid, Walt Simonson, & Bob Wiacek





And that's one fan-based argument that's been going on forever. Who's stronger? Hulk or Thor?
This doesn't really give an absolute solution, but it's kinda cool to think we may see a Hulk/Thor rematch at some point in one of the new MARVEL NOW! titles.
