Who says comic books aren't funny?

I would totally buy a comic book where all the bad stuff that would happen to a costumed hero in real life does happen to the hero in the stories...


all long as it starred The Hangman.

  1. That reminds me of H-E-R-O #1 when the genre savvy main character lets a car run into him because he thinks that since he has strength, flight, etc, he also has invulnerability.

    He doesn't.

  2. Well, even if he did, the car would knock him over. All those classic comic panels where a speeding car bounces off a super-hero are nonsense. It doesn't matter how strong or invulnerable the hero is, but how heavy he is. The heavier object will knock over the lighter object. It may not hurt him, but he wouldn't stay on his feet.

  3. Hero chases car
    Villain shifts gear into "R"
    Leaves a treadmarked scar

  4. This won't have effect in reality, that's exactly what I think.
