Best Comedic website: Christwire.org! This just HAS to be a joke!
So I was looking for a response to The1frombeyond’s post on gay villains and stumbled upon this website called Christwire.org and all I can really say about it is WOW. I figure that this site has just GOT to be a joke and if not it would be so much funnier. I think this could be related to the Onion but i’m not sure.
There is pretty recent post on the site called, “More Proof Marvel and DC “Comics” Promote Homogay Agenda” it’s just got to be read to be beleived. It really tied in with the topics here over the last couple days- plus check this picture out (sooo rad) that came from the article entitled “Marvel Now Pomotes Gay Agenda With Wolverine Toy “!
Let’s hear it for the gay villains!!
So since we’re celebrating the established gay comic book heroes, it’s only fair to take a look at their counterparts, the gay villains. So far we have:
Electro (Marvel Knights)
After doing some hard time and discovering a “new side”, Electro turns down a shape-shifting prostitute in Mark Millar’s Marvel Knights Spiderman title.
Mystique
Chris Claremont had originally planned for Mystique and Destiny to have been lovers. The idea was that Mystique took on the form of a man and fucked Destiny until they made a ‘lil Nightcrawler. Unfortunately, the Comics Code wouldn’t allow such a sordid tale to be published.
Northstar: The Only Gay Superhero??? WTF?
As you may already know I LOVE Alpha Flight!!! It was probably one of the BEST comic books of the 80’s. How can you go wrong with a group of Canadian superheroes who hunted down Wolverine to bring him back as their leader and in the process went toe to toe with the Uncanny X-Men?! Plus they were created and drawn by John Byrne-quite possibly the BEST (arguably-but he’s my all time fav) artist ever in comic books! Well even though these guys ruled and hung out with a 10 foot tall Sasquatch, they also had something else that catapulted this amazing team of superheroes to legendary status. Northstar-one of the coolest characters in the Marvel Universe and as I understand it the first openly GAY superhero ever.
Deadpool: the ultimate admitted rip-off!!
Alot of people accuse Rob Liefeld to be somewhat of a hack and almost all of the characters he creates are usually rip offs of existing characters. But to save his soul he did help create one really rad marvel character who has as of recently become insanely popular-Deadpool! So yeah he finally can take claim for something really original and everyone can forget about his famous picture of Captain America sporting gigantic boobs-right? Not so fast. As you may or may not already know Deadpool is an admitted rip-off of DC’s famous villain Deathstroke.
The incredible hulk vs. Superman!!
When I was a kid there was nothing in the world I loved more than the Incredible Hulk!! I was always pretending to be the Hulk, playing with my Hulk action figures, reading Incredible Hulk comic books, watching the Hulk on tv and drawing pictures of the Hulk!! I remember other kids always telling me that Superman would kick the Hulk’s ass! I disagreed and also was wise enough to know that they couldn’t fight because The Hulk was a Marvel character and Superman was a DC character (later this changed and they did indeed fight a few times-Superman always winning! Damn!). Well that didn’t stop me from making my own comic book cover for this epic battle! I was very young when I drew this picture but as you can see I was pretty accurate with my comic book covers and dammit I wanted to see these two fight! Most of all I wanted to see the Hulk beat that goody two shoes Superman to pulp! As a child I pretty much thought Superman was a big loser! Anyway here’s the epic picture I drew of quite possibly The Hulk and Superman’s first battle!!
Apparently for some reason I thought DC comics stood for Delly Comics. Weird.
Possibly the greatest Marvel comic ever releases on 5/13
Next Wednesday, the 13th, we’ll all be rushing to the shop to pick up our usual pulls but the real money’s worth is going to be in the premiere issue of the greatest assembly of Marvel heroes: LOCKJAW AND THE PET AVENGERS!!
Finally, we’re getting a long overdue Lockjaw book! Issue #1 of the 4 issue limited series shows how only the most heroic of Marvel’s pets can save the universe from a major threat. I can’t wait to follow Lockjaw, Redwing, Frog Thor, Lockheed and Hairball (Speedball’s cat) on their quest to protect the Infinity Gems. Last we saw of the gems was in the New Avengers: Illuminati #2, being divied out amongst the secret group. Lockjaw has long been destined to lead a team of Avengers, no better time than now!
Silver lining in Wolverine movie!
One of the only few good things in the Wolverine movie was Deadpool and today it was announced they are making a Deadpool movie with Ryan Reynolds . Hell Yeah! Deadpool has always been a kick ass character in the Marvel universe with his wise cracking humor, awesome fighting skills, and the breaking 4th wall ability. I have hope that this movie will actually be well done with a great plot mix of humor and action.
Lets keep our fingers crossed!
The Wolverine and Star Wars connection!!
I was just talking the other day to my friend about the comic book arc where Sabretooth gets his head cutt off, dies and Wolverine finds out from Wild Child that Romulus has been controling his entire life. That was a cool story with amazing art! One thing I found funny though was that for some reason Chewbacca starred in this story arc helping Wolverine defeat Sabretooth. Check this out if you don’t remember:
X-men Origins: Wolverine’s claws are pretty dull….
So today I decided to go check out X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I was pretty pumped I must say since I have always wanted to see Wolverine in a true gritty hack ’em slash’em onscreen adventure. Plus I have been a pretty big fan of Hugh Jackman as everybody’s fav berserker canuck! Let’s face it folks, Hugh is looking better than he ever has as this character. I’ve always had high hopes for this film since we have the perfect leading man cast as Wolverine and let’s face it it’s gotta be pretty hard to make a crappy Wolverine movie right? Well they went against all the odds and succeeded in making an ultra crap-tastic adventure!! Yes true beleivers Wolverine does indeed, well, kinda suck.
George Clooney as Wolverine!
Who would have known that George Clooney was such a HUGE Wolverine fan?!! It seems he’s so hyped about the film that he’s been seen and photographed several times in this Wolverine costume around town. Perhaps he’s just jealous of Hugh Jackman? Or maybe just losing his mind? Maybe he wants to star in the sequel? Whatever the reason it’s clear he’s a TOTAL fanboy!!!
George Clooney is definately seeing Wolverine today!!
