    Batman Loses the War on Drugs

    Batman Loses the War on Drugs

    Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #16 (1991)




    We’ve got some Batman back in our lives as we jump into the “Venom” storyline that ran in issues of BATMAN: LEGENDS OF THE DARK KNIGHT in 1991. Venom, of course, being the drug that Bane uses t get swoll and also some guy who Spider-Man knows.




    Lots to unpack here as Bruce ask for permission to save a drowning girl in the sewer. It goes tragically fubar and Bats is convinced he needs more gains. It is just his luck that the dead girl’s apathetic father (like, REALLY apathetic) is in the designer drug business. Also, Batman does a belly flop, Alfred retires and cheese blintzes.

    Savage Dragon Sleeps on a Coffee Table

    The Savage Dragon [vol 1] #3 (1992)




    We complete our run on the Savage Dragon mini-series this week as Dragon returns from a six-day nap to brawl with Bedrock, Youngblood’s answer to Ben Grimm or Blok from Legion of Super-Heroes. Chicago is in even WORSE shape since Dragon’s been out as Skullface and the poorly dressed Overlord make threatening phone calls and have disastrous Zoom meetings. Plus, the aforementioned Bedrock wants to see if Dragon is government material in the most obnoxiously destructive way possible. All this plus bodacious babes with bodacious trauma!




    Comic book talk starts at 00:15:42 unless if you’d like to hear us talk about, at length, the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards.

    SuperPatriot Has an Excessive Costume

    The Savage Dragon [vol 1] #2 (1992)




    Carrying on with the saga of The Savage Dragon, we pick up the Dragon in the Chicago sewers looking for an obese spider man (as opposed to Spider-Man or Spider-Ham). Dragon’s been running ragged fighting crime and almost gets some companionship from his Daisy Dukes wearing neighbor gal. Unfortunately, Hellrazor and his cronies have taken over the mall, sat on ALL the chairs in the Brookstone and finished off the entirety of the bourbon chicken in the food court, leaving the Windy City paralyzed with fear. But as we’ve seen, Savage Dragon goes hard….but does he go TOO HARD?!?




    Also, we have an extended discussion about WrestleMania XL this past weekend. Jump ahead to 00:14:09 for the comic book talk

    Savage Dragon in the Meaty Men Parade

    Savage Dragon in the Meaty Men Parade

    The Savage Dragon [vol 1] #1 (1992)




    We don’t get around to messing with too many Image Comics but Savage Dragon is a great place to start. Outlandish in story and execution, the mighty Erik Larsen gives us a lot to talk about. For example, why does Savage Dragon have so much body hair despite being a reptilian? Is he of Mediterranean descent? Will the hair removal product Nair do the trick? Regardless, this series is wild, filled with chrome skeletons, hilariously timed explosion deaths and one of the most inefficient costume designs of all time.

    Spider-Man & Tigra Ruin an Italian Bistro

    Spider-Man & Tigra Ruin an Italian Bistro

    Marvel Team-Up #125 (1982)




    Spider-Man, ever the enterprising fellow, nabs a print endorsement deal for a fast food joint only for Tigra to show up and score the gig with her Charo impression (cuchi cuchi). Tigra then has a date with a beat cop that gets interrupted by Zabo the Diaper Bodyguard. Spider-Man tries to help and makes things worse.




    Additionally, we are bestowed a Doctor Strange / Scarlet Witch back-up that sees a confused monster summoned on the set of that fake movie in PET CEMETARY 2 where Eddie Furlong’s mother get electrocuted to death.

    Spider-Man Gives the Hulk $5

    Spider-Man Gives the Hulk $5

    Marvel Team-Up #126 (1983)




    We wrap our run on Marvel Team-Up with a deliberately lazy issue featuring a random back-up story with Luke Cage and Hellstorm and a Spider-Man comic strip reprint featuring the Hulk




    In the first story, Luke and Damian find a dead body and follow the brimstone trail to a demon worshipping party for Satannish aka Kirkland Signature Satan. Action ensues as Luke throws a couch and Hellstorm sets his trident to “ash.”




    Later, Hulk loses his marbles in NYC and awesomely demolishes a police cruiser with a lamppost. Spider-Man gives Hulk $5.00 USD to start a new life so Hulk heads to Chicago and pays it forward by slapping around some buff crooks.

The Most Fun Allowed By Law

Jen and Shawn constantly bring the funny as they examine not-very-good comics from all
eras. If you like your comics fun, this is the podcast for you.

Hi there

Another home run of a fun filled show.

Tremayne10 ,

and I thought I knew alot about comics

Shawn and Jen cover everything from the garden-variety Marvel and DC heroes to the lesser knowns and oddball comics. I learned more about some of my favorites and even went out searching for stuff I've never even heard of until I heard it here on WCE. Required listening for anyone who considers themself a real comic book head.
