Bruce Banner and Sodomy?

I have no idea what to even say about this comic book. According to the forums at Scans Daily, the author (Jim Shooter) based this brief story on his own experience at the YMCA. It's sort of a public service announcement in a way...? Oh, who else would have been freaked if the Hulk came out?

The Last of the DC Comics Public Service Announcements for Now

This features Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, and Fire. Do you know these characters? If you happen to love these characters, I can easily say that you are a true comic book nerd. Even casual comic book fans have no idea who these characters are at all. Blue Beetle and Booster Gold are particularly known for their comedic antics. Remember Martin Lawrence and Will Smith in Bad Boys? Well, imagine them as extremely white superheroes who also blow shit up. Yup, they're pretty awesome. Fire is a Brazilian girl with the ability to turn on fire....it's green at least! Anyway, this is actually the most famous of all the posts. Why?

1) These two male superheroes are sort of acting like jerks as opposed to the common civilian.
2) Fire apparently lost a lot of friends to STDs. For a superheroine, she actually tends to spend a ton of time mixing up with crowds that would get a lot of this stuff. Well, it's interesting to see that tie in...
3) Booster is just looking so serious at the end like he is contemplating a new mission in life. I mean, I guess he is....but he's still Booster Gold. Once again, you may not know his character, so this analysis is meaningless.

Either way, even if you don't know the characters, you should appreciate what DC tried to do. As a result, tons of comic book nerds stay virgins....even to this very day. Oh wait...

"You may think it's not your problem" Part II

A while back, I introduced some public service announcements from Green Lantern (Both White and Black varieties!). Well, here is another one with the Teen Titans. Things to consider:

1) Nightwing has a RIDICULOUS outfit. Get over it .
2) The girl in white is Donna Troy, Wonder Woman's sister who isn't really his sister and has a huge backstory that I will never ever try to explain in this blog.
3) Beast Boy is sort of an asshole.


What do you think? Protect yourself. Know the Facts.

"You may think it's not your problem..." - Comic Books on AIDs and Homosexuality

I don't know about you, but my favorite superheroes don't just serve the community with fists and super powers. NOPE. It is also a well-known fact that many superheroes can also protect and serve the country through the power of WORDS. In fact, I would be an extreme Asian supremacist without the work of our greatest superheroes. Over this week, I will post some friendly public announcements by my favorite superheroes.

Ah, Jon Stewart, the BLACK Green Lantern, is spreading the word regarding homosexuality and AIDs. Notice the lack of super powers (except for the flight and glowing ring). But wait....


....here's the exact same ad, but with Hal Jordan. * gasp * He's a WHITE Green Lantern and basically saying the EXACT same thing. Hell, all the background characters are the same. It is fascinating to see DC and the public service organizations use these two characters interchangeably to tell the same messages. Intriguing, indeed. Notice, that Jon Stewart (the Black one) has a darker background for the bottom panel.
