I mean, I’ve been a very good boy about collecting comic books, picking up the Claremont/Jim Lee X-Men #1 when I was but a wee lad, got caught up in the whole Death of Superman thing, have those nifty black-and-white collections of Silver Age comics on my selves, got caught up with Image Comics and Spawn and Youngblood, thrilled to the Frank Miller Daredevil, and have Uncle Scrooge and Bone books hanging out with the Captain America Winter Soldier arc, the Ultimates, and She-Hulk, and regularly call my wife “Ms. Marvel.” Sure, I don’t go to comic book stores much anymore, but I do try my best to score some freebies on Free Comic Book Day.

Unless you’re talking about the Speedball subculture. Which, yes, I totally do not understand.

It’s really annoying when you give low scores to these things because you just ‘don’t get it’, and yet give crap like Megatokyo 5 just because it’s accessible to you as a former otaku. If you think you’re not familiar enough with something to do a review of a comic based off of it justice, do some research into the subculture or just leave it alone.

(( To be fair, 3 is perfectly appropriate, but your reasons for giving it three aren’t really the comics faults. ))

Our costumed guardians live on in superhero parodies like the previously reviewed Year One, the silly Non-Adventures of Wonderella, the so-atrocious-it’s-pitiable Cow-Man… and [...]
