So "Horrible", that I've never even heard of him, till now.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Hah, it's Joss Whedon's Sci-Fi musical miniseries. Dark Horse did a tie-in.

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is a 2008 musical tragicomedy miniseries in three acts, produced exclusively for Internet distribution. Filmed and set in Los Angeles, the show tells the story of Dr. Horrible (played by Neil Patrick Harris), an aspiring supervillain; Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion), his nemesis; and Penny (Felicia Day), their shared love interest.
The movie was written by writer/director Joss Whedon, his brothers Zack Whedon (a television writer) and Jed Whedon (a composer), and writer/actress Maurissa Tancharoen. The team wrote the musical during the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike. The idea was to create something small and inexpensive, yet professionally done, in a way that would circumvent the issues that were being protested during the strike.[1][2] Reception has been overwhelmingly positive. On October 31, 2008, Time magazine named it #15 in Time's Top 50 Inventions of 2008.[3][4] It also won the People's Choice Award for "Favorite Online Sensation", and the 2009 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form.[5] In the inaugural 2009 Streamy Awards for web television, Dr. Horrible won seven awards: Audience Choice Award for Best Web Series, Best Directing for a Comedy Web Series, Best Writing for a Comedy Web Series, Best Male Actor in a Comedy Web Series (Harris), Best Editing, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Music.[6] It also won a 2009 Creative Arts Emmy Award for Outstanding Special Class – Short-format Live-Action Entertainment Programs.[7][8]

I loved the movie. NPH was awesome.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Sounds like an 80s cartoon
Evil League of Evil, so cheesy, it's creative

Okay, I'm throwing characters from a new book today. and I'm doing so because I think the idea is so brilliantly mental that sooner or later I'm just gonna HAVE to read it:

Suzie and John

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Suzie's a normal girl with an extraordinary ability: when she has sex, she stops time. One night she meets John... who has the same gift. And so they do what any other sex-having, time-stopping, couple would do: they rob banks. - See more at: https://www.imagecomics.com/comics/releases/sex-criminals-1#sthash.S8QKpquW.dpuf

 

[Anubis]

That has to be one of the most awesome things I've ever heard in my entire life.

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

okay.. now that sounds...... COOL!!!

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Yeah, sounds really original and cool!

Nice art too:

 

[Anubis]

I love that, that's funny. Is this out yet?

 

[Wesley Dodds]

I believe #3 came out last week.

There's been some controversy though, apparently Apple have removed the book from their iOS Marketplace.

[Anubis]

That's why I couldn't find it.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

What the f***?


How long do they have to rob a bank? Do they start when they intend to rob one? How long does the time stopping effect last?

I don't know, and I'll probably be reading this one soon so I don't want to spoil anything by checking.

Sad Sack

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I'm not one of the millions
I think modern Marvel comics logo might be inspired by Harvey comics logo here

 

[Anubis]

Beetle Baily character?

 

[Wesley Dodds]

I'm no too familiar with Mister, uh... Sack.

But Wiki says:

The Sad Sack is an American fictional comic strip and comic book character created by Sgt. George Baker during World War II. Set in the United States Army, Sad Sack depicted an otherwise unnamed, lowly private experiencing some of the absurdities and humiliations of military life. The title was a euphemistic shortening of the military slang "sad sack of *****", common during WWII. The phrase has come to mean "an inept person" or "inept soldier".

They made a Jerry Lewis movie out if him back in the day, so I guess he was a big deal once upon a time...

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

Eh!never read it and thought it was worth it.

 

[Gee]

What the f***?


How long do they have to rob a bank? Do they start when they intend to rob one? How long does the time stopping effect last?

Yeah, as soon as the orgasm starts, time stops. The "stopped time" period for the girl is variable. It could be a couple of minutes. As for the guy, well, when he "unleashes", time resumes.

It's pretty funny how the guy's time-stopping mechanic works.

I'm between laughing and giving weird stares
The concept is really funny, and kind of tempting to sit through
