Jan. 23rd, 2010 07:29 pmSo. I have been reading Marvel comics. I plan to blame ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
bethos for this, I think. Specifically, I have been reading really old Avengers comics, because the internet allows me to start from the beginning and I am kind of an obsessive completist nerd sometimes. They are surprisingly fun, if somewhat overfull of exclamation points. And it's kinda neat reading comics where I don't really know the universe well at all. I keep being surprised by things because they are not the way the DCU is. For instance, wow, everybody lives in New York, huh? Which is, y'know, really New York. It's bizarre.
I am terribly confused by the fact that the Hulk speaks in complete sentences. It's like the flashback in Watchmen where Rorschach uses pronouns - weirdly unsettling. Ultimately though, I care about Rorschach and could not possibly care less about the Hulk, so the effect is somewhat different.
Anyway. The real reason of this post is so that I can post this one panel. It is from Avengers #4, and is forbethos. I find it unaccountably hilarious, and so I share it with you.
I kinda want to make that speech bubble into an lj icon. I have no idea what I'd use it for, mind, but it would make me laugh.
