My 3 Favorite Scenes From Fantastic Four Versus The X-Men #1:

(embiggen)

 ~I have no memory of ever actually reading this one before... So, I guess 

I'ma little late to the game.  Picked up a very crisp copy for 33.333333 cents from
the local flea-market.
The entire issue is fucking awesome- I mean; Chris Claremont, so obviously it is.  -But here are three of my favorite parts:

( Honorable Mention to: 'Longshot and Dazzler on a boat.' )       

Blogger Analytics III: Yep, It's Still Mostly Porn. (NSFW)

~Unfortunately for everyone; here's another blog-installment of my Google-Image-Searching the same Search Keywords that somehow linked others to my little comic-book site... while probably adding me to a bunch of watch-lists for my trouble.  And it all starts with "mongul porn".

Bill Mantlo, The Spectacular Spider-Man?

Okay, so you all remember one of the big play-ground rumors back in the day, that you had no way of knowing wasn't true at the time, about how The Human Torch was replaced by H.E.R.B.I.E. in the Fantastic Four cartoon because they were afraid  kids would light themselves on fire.  -Same thing was said about Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends having Firestar instead of Ol' Match-head.
There's also the one that seems to come up every few years- you'll hear about some kid who died after trying to fly like Superman and jumping off of a building/out of a window. (I first heard this one in reference to why the 1988 Superman cartoon was canceled.)

It's the unexpected things in comics...

... that will make you laugh.
-Like when right in the middle of the 100% serious, not comical at all, second issue of Fantastic Four: Atlantis Rising- randomly, and completely out of nowhere, this just... happens:

The Thing: Comic relief...

-And we all know Ben Grimm is a pretty tough guy! He'd gladly go one-on-one, toe-to-toe, with the likes of Doctor Doom, Annihilus, or Blastaar... But there's only so much one (cosmically-irradiated, orange, rocky) man can take:

The Fantastic Four Roast #1:

Finally- here are my favorite jokes from Marvel's Fantastic Four Roast #1 from 1982! Hosted (and written) by:

The Whizzer has to... you know......

 

Sorry, Stark- only ONE man can make a cuckold out of Reed!:

You know- it really are the little things in comics...

...that make me laugh.
-Like when The Guardians Of The Galaxy's Vance Astro went back in time to confront his younger self in Marvel Two-In-One #69: 

-Yes... this guy IS weird. 

-More after the jump-
