I always thought that if there’s one comic book character that should be the epitome of rock and roll, Thor is it. I’m fucking right.

Every Friday, Baddie hits you with face-rocking comic book covers that could inspire you to say either “HOLY FUCK, THAT’S AWESOME!!!” or “WTF, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!” Whether it’s the awesomest of all awesome covers that ever awesomed, or the shittiest of all crappy covers that ever took a dump, if it’s face-rocking, it’s in here.
Because of my new appreciation for Green Lantern and its mythology, and because I’ve made fun of Marvel covers for the first 3 installments of Face-Rocking Covers, I’ve decided that it’s time for my first DC Face-Rocking Covers post. For this joyous occasion, I’m putting the spotlight on early covers of Green Lantern.
Well, DUH. Suck it up, Hal. Don’t be a crybaby. And look out! Gay bondage Ben Grimm is about to clobber your Green Lantern ass!
After reading an article on Double Viking about Extreme Fanboyism, I wondered what level of fanboyism I’m on, in terms of comic books. Am I just a casual fan or a ridiculously extreme fanboy? There’s only one way to find out, and that’s making a stupid list of things that determine how much of a fanboy I am:
- I have a pull list. My local comic shop (LCS) probably enjoys how I constantly update my pull list every week since it becomes easier for them to sell me comics. The pull list also gives me the perk of getting the variant covers I want. And since they set aside my copies of their new comics once they get delivered, I’m assured my comics haven’t been touched by more than one person and are in very good condition.
- I blog about comics and related pop culture stuff 5 times a week.
- I reserve my Thursday nights for getting my comics from my LCS and reading them. Thursday night is comics night, beer and friends be damned.
- First news articles I read everyday are about comics. I have no freaking idea what’s going on in world politics and current events. I can probably name more X-Men characters than Philippine politicians.
- I don’t like watching comic book movies in the theaters because I don’t want to beat up non-fanboys every time they utter the names of every freakin’ character they recognize on the screen. Idiots.
- When a seriously big typhoon hit and our house was flooded, I saved my comics first before anything else. This is why I don’t have a pet.
- I read comics even during blackouts.
- A date usually involves dinner, a movie, several bottles of beer, and a trip to my LCS. The clerks at my LCS probably know more about my dating life than my friends.
- Speaking of the clerks at my LCS, our relationship involves text messaging each other about the schedule of new comics delivery.
- I spend more money on comics than on clothes, cellphone load, and food combined. I practically work so I can buy comics.
- Sometimes, I talk like Dr. Doom.
Being a fan of recent Marvel games like Ultimate Alliance, the news of the new Spidey game coming later this year gives me the happies. It’s called Spider-Man: Friend or Foe, and it will feature Spidey teaming up with both heroes and villains.
The heroes who will give ol’ Web-Head a hand include Blade and Iron Fist, with more to be announced as we come closer to the release date. The villains who will stand by Spidey’s side include his movie enemies: the Green Goblin, Dr. Octopus, Venom, Sandman, and Green Goblin Jr.
This is where Baddie blogs about comics, pop culture, and other face-rocking things. Also, this is where Dr. Doom shares some of his infinite wisdom, but only when he feels generous. You will only bear witness to Doom's brilliance when Doom commands it! Your face, Baddie and Doom are rocking it!
