Marvel and Guiding Light.

The hell??

There is no God

 

[Doc Destruction]

Lame.

 

[Dread]

Because surely soap operas and Marvel comics court the same audience.

Right?

Sigh...just more "anything for a buck" Marvel at work.

The only connection I can think of is that MJ used to star in this soap opera called "Secret Hospital" which was a Riff on General Hospital...which doesn't air on CBS like GUIDING LIGHT does. But I haven't seen any writer mention that in a comic in years.

 

[mathhater]

What's the point though? Isn't it a safe bet to say that comics fans don't watch soaps and soap fans don't read comics? So what in the world does this accomplish?...it's stupid.

 

[GNR]

Weird indeed.

 

[Fading]

Ya this is gonna bomb, but it's a train wreck that I'll enjoy watching.

I'm waiting for it to sell like 2 copies, so they put Joss Whedon on it to bump sales or something.

I mean damn, a soap opera character splashes coke on her hand and touches a wall socket!?! Then becomes some electic woman and fights sandman, and dies I guess, and we're supposed to care? I mean maybe if this was Doop fighting sandman and dying, or Monkey Joe (if he was still alive), then it would be a tragedy , but electric soap opera girl....person?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Wow. That looks shockingly stupid. Yes, comic books are soap operas too, but no self-respecting comic fan wants to be reminded of that so overtly.

 

[Kitsune]

What's next, Professional Wrestlers?

 

[Twin2]

There is no God

Of course there is. It's just that marvel has him bound and gagged in a trunk so he can't stop this stuff.....or prevent genocide in places like Africa, but mainly the whole bad comics stuff.

 

[gildea]

Dear god.

My brain wants to be angry but I really can't stop laughing at the abject stupidity of this.

 

[Vanguard07]

LoL i just remembered Archy meets the punisher. that was another idea thats too stupid for words.

This is probably worse though.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Dude, Archie meets the Punisher was awesomeness incarnate.

 

[Vanguard07]

I ... I dont think my brain can allow me to directly respond to that.

 

[Phaedrus45]

It might be better than the X-Men/Star Trek crossover.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Dude, the X-Men/Star Trek crossover was awesomeness incarnate.

 

[fifthfiend]

If they had to do it, they could've at least done Passions.

 

[fifthfiend]

Hey! Don't you be talking no **** about my stories!

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

No, if they HAD to do it, then they should also have HAD to kill Bendis. You know, cosmic balance and all.

 

[fifthfiend]

You shouldn't have to have a reason to kill Bendis.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

I make one anyway, so people don't ask me all the time, "Why?"

 

[ShadowBoxing]

What's next, Professional Wrestlers?

Too late

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Hahahahahahaha, against Transformers, no less. That cover wins.

 

[The Question]

Dude, the X-Men/Star Trek crossover was awesomeness incarnate.

Don't forget Spider-Man and the cast of SNL VS. The Silver Samurai.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Teh hotness.
