Free Comic Book Day 2009: The WTF? Bin

NASCAR HEROES

At first I thought this was some lame series about real life Nascar stars. Then I wondered who the creepy psycho on the cover was supposed to be. Then I clicked the preview and discovered it’s actually a lame fantasy series about a team of Nascar drivers who get super driving powers from a “mysterious explosion.” Then I saw that the story was entitled, “RREV!-ALATION!”

Then my eyes started screaming and I could see no more.

Preview it HERE if you must.



SHONEN JUMP PRESENTS: ULTIMO

In between shooting film cameos, Stan “The Manga” Lee found time to create a new character - Ultimo - with popular Japanese artist Hiroyuki Takei. Click the preview to dig the serious manga face Stan is sporting on the cover. Issa serious manga, issa serious Stan. According to this article, Stan speaks no Japanese and Takei speaks no English. I hope phrases such as Nuff Said, Excelsior and If This Be My Destiny didn’t get lost in translation.

WILLIAM SHATNER PRESENTS

Just look at the satisfaction on The Shat's face. This is his universe in all of it's fiery, vaguely coherent glory and he benevolently presents it to you. Let's see George Takei do that.

FIST OF JUSTICE

Anyone thinking of starting some shit in Charm City better watch his back.

Ba-dum-bump.

    does anyone else think that Shatner's head looming incongruously on his comic's cover seems silly?

    fist of justice - dig the Sam Wilson/Falcon-type guy running in as backup...

  2. Absolutely not! His face conveys gravitas. Nothing but gravitas.

    i think his face conveys past requests for extra helpings.
