Out of Context Comics

Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!

Rules:

  1. Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.

  2. Single panels are preferred.

  3. Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.

  4. Don't be a dick.

  5. I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.

That's a bold take that I don't see many people take, who read the comics lol. May I ask why you view that?

Spoilers yadda yadda

Is it really controversial to say “framing superman as the threat we need to unite the world against to stop nuclear armageddon” is a better plotline than “I’m going to make it look like aliens attacked us, but in the goofiest way possible, with a plot device necessitating the existence of real psychics in a world that hitherto otherwise seemed to only have Dr. Manhattan as a genuine “otherworldly force””? Reading the graphic novels really threw me for a loop when that scheme was explained, lol.
