Occasional Links: The Destroyer Duck Edition

No creator save Jack Kirby has as a cautionary tale and a living example saved so many creators the grief of turning over their creations without reward or without realizing what they had done.

The Bestest Custom Action Figure Ever


"Doctor Bong" from Howard The Duck.

Have Jenna Jameson Kick Your Bad Ass


In one of the most bizarre comic promotions ever, Virgin Comics asks you why your family is "from hell" in order to promote Jenna Jameson's new comic

First prize?

"Custom Sketch By Greg Horn Of The Badass Shadow Hunter Kicking Your Bad Ass."

In case you're wondering, that would be a sketch of Jenna Jameson doing a dominatrix-style beat-down on you while you pretend not to smile.

Gee, I really wanna read more of those Deepak Chopra comics by Virgin...


"That's What Bendis Sees When He Closes His Eyes"


I didn't say it, somebody on Scans Daily did. From the latest Moon Knight.

Video: Anime Witchblade

Half-naked top-heavy Witchblade has what sounds like a series of orgasms while sticking her tongue out and destroying things. Sounds about right. NSFW.

From The New Avengers Annual #2:
(click for larger image)


Obviously, Bendis is going for a dark, noirish feel with this storyline. And there is a place for that type of tale. In The Punisher.

"Poor Tigra. Poor, Poor Tigra."

Okay folks, it's time to play:

WHAT HORRIBLE MISFORTUNE IS GOING TO BEFALL THE SUPERHEROINE?

Today's contestant is Greer Nelson, better known as "Tigra."

The ad copy for "New Avengers" #35 includes:

"Guest-Starring Tigra. Poor Tigra. Poor Poor Tigra."

What fate-worse-than-death will befall our feline female?

Will it be:

1. Being forced to kill brand-new super-hubby on heart-shaped honeymoon mattress?

2. Undergoing unspecified torture that leaves her sterile?

3. Being forced to eat strips of boyfriend's face?

4. Finding out that her babies are figments of her imagination and going insane?

5. Being strapped to table and having one of her arms amputated?

6. Being tortured with power drill?

7. Enslaved and rented out as "living experimental art" by gimlet-faced supervillain?

8. Tentacle porn?

9. Impaled by large iron rod through chest?

10. Head torn off body?

11. Being mind-controlled and raped and being forced to give birth to rapist's son who is really reincarnation of rapist? And having co-workers think everything is marvelous??

12. Being mind-controlled, forced to wear bad 80's costume, and watch as mind-controller has sex with other women besides herself?

13. Having heart torn out by Wolverine?

14. Having intestines torn out by Wolverine?

19. Sai through the bread-basket?

20. Enslaved in extended S&M sketch to third-tier supervillain and having sex with him because her animalistic sex drive betrayed her?

If you guessed #7, you're wrong, because that's what happened to Tigra last week!

If you guessed #10, you've confused Tigra with Pantha, which means you have to turn in your fanboy membership card.

And if you guessed #20, you are still having flashbacks to the extended S&M sketch from an old "West Coast Avengers" posted in Scans Daily a few weeks ago. Which means you have to really get out more.
