Over at Everyday Is Like Wednesday, Caleb is having a lot of fun at the expense of Marvel and DC solicits. I honestly think you're not missing much if you just look at his solicit coverage rather than the actual company ones posted at places like Newsarama.com and CBR.
Some of his best hits?
Titans:
Check out The Flash, who’s so fast that, instead of running at super-speed, he’s power-walking at super-speed!Booster Gold:
God, this book looks and sounds terrible…
OMAC or not, this looks awesome. Hey, wait a minute....apparently Booster's messing with the timeline has not only lead to a present dominated by OMACs, but it's had drastic consequences for Martian Manhunter's foot wear as well. He's wearing red boots now! Red! Boots! Change back to blue, J'onn; those make you look like a whore!The War That Time Forgot:
Army guys + Dinosaurs is a formula that’s pretty hard to improve upon, but adding the likes of Enemy Ace and Tomahawk sure does the trick. Why, the only way to screw something like this up would be to—Oh. Written by Bruce Jones, huh? Nevermind; DC beat me to the punchline.The Invincible Iron Man:
I know the guy’s got a movie coming out and all, but two ongoing monthlies? (Three, if you count Marvel Adventures Iron Man). Isn’t that a little much? I mean, it’s not like the regular Iron Man monthly is selling that well…
And Jesus, check out the “Variant Cover by” credits. Is that a record for a comic from Marvel or DC in this century? It’s a hell of a lot of variants for a book from a publisher that isn’t Dynamite or Avatar…
Sky Doll:Ready the pulpers! I think I see areola!Ultimate X-Men:
A story ripped from the headlines! Will Colossus start taking super-steroids like his favorite baseball players in order to up his game? Man, who’s responsible for this after school special-sounding story? Oh, a TV writer, naturally. Damn you, WGA strike!
You really must check out Caleb's work. He has to have the league records for best blogging batting average and humorous home runs.
