Individuality

I found this very clever strip over at The Anti-Bullshit Dome of Wonder, created by Turbulent Fridge a.k.a. TF. I think it's great, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

ANSM EP02-Part2 - Drowning in Genosha!

No, we didn't forget about the America's Next SuperModel contest, we were just procrastinating; plus we had to give our superheroines and supervictims some time to assimilate the new challenge.

Anyway, in the last segment we saw our eleven superheroines arriving to Genosha, which had been newly populated by some famous families, such as the Flintstones, the Simpsons, the Jetsons, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie plus their sons and daughters, etc.; and then, we released a tidal wave against the island. This is what happened.

RED SONJA

The waves arrived with no warning and the red headed warrior just jumped in front of Betty Rubble and started battling the water trying to protect this poor extra-thin innocent. The plan proved being quite lame as both of them got surrounded by water and, because of Red Sonja's armor, she began to sink. Thankfully, Betty Rubble was a great swimmer and managed to save our superheroine.

"No comments," was the only thing Red Sonja said as she walked out of her lamented situation.

SHE-HULK

There's something about Shulkie that's undeniable. When she chooses, she chooses well. "Oh, I see Mr. She-Hulk in the horizon!" And that's the last we heard of her, because when chaos started, she moved around the crowd and simply grabbed Brad Pitt and jumped out of sight, landing on the top of the nearest mountain. Some candid shots showed us She-Hulk and Brad in some very compromising moves. If Angelina Jolie survives this challenge, there's going to be so much trouble.

AEON FLUX

With a cold attitude, Aeon Flux saw the tidal wave coming and she knew she had two chances: whether try to save one of the victims and probably die in the attempt, or just get rid of the "fat".

Poor Homer Simpson, he didn't see it coming.

ZATANNA

The water moved all too fast and Zatanna had some trouble trying to talk backwards while chocking, but still, she managed a little enchantment. "Enirambus a emoceb, Diam Tobor eht Eisor!" And so, the Jetsons' Robot Maid, Rosie, became a submarine and the next thing Zatanna was doing, was casting another spell to get inside of Rosie.

"That was clever", said Zatanna about her move. "Not only I saved Rosie the Robot, but I also saved myself using her. It was a win-win situation."

Still, as other victims continued drowning, we at Comics All Too Real central keep wondering if she shouldn't have saved a living creature instead of a robot.

In the next segment: Four new superheroines do their best to survive this challenge. Stay tuned!

Aquaman vs. Namor: Round 2

"Honey, it's not over 'til it's over", said Mera as she winked to her husband's competitor.
So far, Aquaman has been sinking in this poll like dead tuna, and just to make things worse, his wife now joined the battle as the big prize.

"I'm a little bit surprised and all too flattered the judges chose me to participate in this battle. So, the winner takes it all," she giggled. "People doesn't even know I'm dead or alive, so watch out, I'm back!"

As one reporter went all continuity freak on her and another one called her an "attention $%$%$", we better focus on the poll at hand. So, if you haven't voted yet, do it now. The poll closes next Monday in the afternoon, no vote will be accepted after that even if the counter goes on and on. You better hurry!

SuperFashion 1: Wonder Woman, The Ventroloquist, Bouncing Boy

Welcome to SuperFashion, this is a new segment at Comics All Too Real devoted to solve one of the basic questions in life: Do comic books imitate fashion or is it the other way?

Here's some vivid examples on how today's fashion seems to find its inspiration in comic book reality.

Wonder Woman in the 60's



The Ventriloquist


Bouncing Boy

Star Trek 90210

I found this over at Topless Robot and wanted to share it. I hope you like it!

The Power of Eye-Mo

Some mock ads for those who like them.

Aquaman or Namor? Vote now!

Recently, there was a discussion about all undersea characters being fun, lame or whatever you might want to call them; with Aquaman being the poster child of the abuse, lead by Cartoon Network ads, internet blogs or just the casual joke; if you want to laugh at a character, there's always Aquaman. There's no denying this, no matter how hard they've tried to make him relevant, he always ends up being a joke. On the other hand, as Sea of Green of Hoosier Journal of Inanity very cleverly pointed out, Namor has been around since forever and he's always been a real kick-ass! A tough ally, a frightening enemy and also a very interesting lover.

Now, the question remains. Who do you think is cooler? Butt-of-the-joke Aquaman, or bad-ass Namor?

You decide!

(Oh! And I stole the fantastic image of Aquaman and Namor from amazing Michael May's Adventure Blog.)

Clark Kent: "Sometimes Glasses Aren't Good Enough"

If you've ever asked yourself who has the best disguise ever, obviously Clark Kent's has to come to mind. The simplest one, possibly, but still the most deceiving of all. With just a pair of glasses he can foul the entire world into thinking he's just a mild-mannered journalist, son of farmers, married to super fabulous reporter Lois Lane. Or so we thought.

Well, there's something about Clark Kent's secret you didn't know. Thing is, he wears flashy shoes that don't display all too well in comic book form, but they're there. Whenever he meets someone, they just stare at his shoes and he or she just stays there. There's an hypnotic effect on his feet and no one will resist it. Try it the next time you're around Clark!

Meteoro by Hero Machine

Over at Hoosier Journal of Inanity there was a discussion about online programs that allow you to design your own character using simple templates, tools and lots of nice stuff, and Jeff Hebert suggested we tried the Beta version of the new Hero Machine. And so I did. Look at Meteoro in all of his glory, standing proud in front of his Dark Castle, okay, I shouldn't name it "Dark Castle", but for now it will do.

This version of Hero Machine has some interesting tools. You can stretch any of the items and make them look just the way you want. For example, the cape was too large but I didn't want it to look that way, so I reduced it and this is how it looks. It's still Beta, which means there's still too few items or diversity of items, but it looks really promising. You should try it. I also tried a Marvelized version of Meteoro, if you're curious.

And how about naming my castle, the "Goth Castle"? Or just "Meteoro's Castle"? Or "Black Rock Castle"? I can't believe in all of these years of roleplaying I never named it. Or did I and I already forgot? Geez! The troubles of early Alzheimer.
