(1) They go over a bar, (2) a hand with a stoggie in it comes up (so we are still unsure), (3) Lobo follows. I thought Wolverine won that fight. Though how, I've no idea. Lobo stands toe-to-toe with Superman. I thought that fight was the cheesiest. The artist (and probably writer) obviously didn't have the time to script or draw the fight unti the last minute, so it was set up so that only one panel would have to be created: the winnah coming up and grabbing the cigar.

Lobo stands toe-to-toe with Superman. I'm looking at it right now. Wolverine won... it was stupid. It was a popularity contest or else Hulk would have mopped the floor with Superman.

It was a popularity contest or else Hulk would have mopped the floor with Superman. Huh? That was one of the few they got right. WW should have taken Storm, and Lobo should have taken Wolvie (pure populatiry there). Spiderman they got right, and with the great "clone" joke in it too. Don't remember which the fifth voted one was though. Back to the original topic, one of the best mismatches that actually got published was issue 3 (I think) of Marvel Knights. Punisher vs that Troll guy that has gone toe to toe with Thor. Nothing the Punisher did made a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oruncrest Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 This is Lobo, you expect consistency? Originally posted by keithcurtis I thought Wolverine won that fight. Though how, I've no idea. Lobo stands toe-to-toe with Superman. ...and gets clobbered by Vril Dox II. And gets the heck beaten out of him by Santa Claus. And gets killed by the little brother of some unknown. The last two examples were in his own comic series. The only time Lobo is a match for Superman is when Lobo's in a Superman comic. I thought that fight was the cheesiest. The artist (and probably writer) obviously didn't have the time to script or draw the fight unti the last minute, so it was set up so that only one panel would have to be created: the winnah coming up and grabbing the cigar. I thought of a way Wolverine could've beaten Lobo within 30 seconds of reading MvDC #3 that required only two things: 1)a change of scenery from a bar on a planet to a bar on a space station. and 2)Wolverine demonstating an IQ higher than room temperature. What happened in MvDC #3 was just plain laziness On another note: Mr. Vimes forgot the worst of 'Bad Shooter': Creating the New Universe.

I was going to say that, but I actually LIKED Psi-Force and after The PITT, things got interesting... in the end it was just a failed experiment... so, Bad Shooter! No Donut!

Koshka Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Originally posted by starblaze What is a direct sale comic? IIRC (it's been a while) it's a comic that is only sold through comic stores or by subscription, as opposed to comics you can get at the convenience store crammed in between the crossword puzzle magazines and the hot rod magazines. This of course assumes you can still get comics places other than comic book stores, I haven't really been looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This of course assumes you can still get comics places other than comic book stores, I haven't really been looking. That's exactly correct. Shooter essentially created the comic shop industry with that manuever. If you wanted direct sale books (which were all labelled as such), you had to go to a comic retailer. At the time that lead to differences on the covers as well. The new-stand copies looked normal, but there was an "X" over the spot where the UPC code went and 'Direct sale' in that area. In some cases, there was a white diamond (instead of a square) where the price-tag was located. Ah... nostalga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
