Superhero Web Humor
I'm still a fan of superhero comics, and at 39 years old I do a mean imitation of the Comic Book Guy. Here are some web sites that show the funnier side of the superhero genre.
- Seanbaby's Superfriends Page (NSFW-ish): This page dares to ask the question, why does a woman who grows a 100 foot tall wear a leopard skirt.
- Superdickery.com (NSFW-ish): Before the age of political correctness, comic book covers did not always show Superman as the symbol of truth, justice, and the America Way, and things were just weird.
- Superman: How it should have ended (DIVX)(YouTube): Well, it does make sense.
- Secret Wars Re-Enactment Society: Civil War Re-Enactment is a popular hobby in America, what if a group decided to re-enact Marvel's Secret Wars.
