I think it’s safe to say that for our comic book geek generation, Wally West is The Flash. But for all the old timers out there, I bet it’s Barry Allen all the way. I can’t really blame them because the deceased Flash was totally awesome. Observe:
Legend has it that fans had a hard time relating to The Flash and his amazing quickness, so the Flash creative team made an issue featuring a fat Flash. Fans related to the Scarlet Speedster in no time.
Since we’re in a sort of Crisis-themed week, might as well feature face-rocking covers of the original Crisis: Crisis on Infinite Earths. It was a 12-issue maxi-series where all sorts of shit went down, and it’s all glorious.
You’ll know when something huge is about to happen when you see a cover with superheroes floating in space while two Earths collide and explode in the background.
Since I’m a “Marvel guy”, my knowledge of DC characters is limited at best. I find a lot of DC characters boring, but there are times when I just stumble upon a character or group of characters and it just trips my “Awesometasticular!!!” alert. One recent discovery is a group of four kickass sons of bitches with some of the most “WHAT THE–?!” adventures around: the Challengers of the Unknown!
Oh noes! It’s GOD! The Challengers have the knack for throwin’ it down with giant hands. Observe:
I feel bad about saying that a blatant show of flesh is the main hook of “Supergirl”, especially when I didn’t read issues #2-19. So, as a service to the public by a responsible citizen of the Intarnetz, I’m going to inspect some covers to see if sex sells Supergirl’s monthly series. It’s the right thing to do. After all, if you’re going to use sex to attract fanboysmen, you’re going to do it on the comic’s cover.
With a white background that directs your attention to Supergirl, it’s hard not to focus on her skinny model-ish body. Yep. Bad start.
Every Thursday, 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.
I love Marvel’s What If? stories and I’m hoping they make more of them comic book crack. They don’t make screwed up comics like they used to. Well, actually they still do. If you count Civil War. ZING! On that note, let me present to you some of the most mind-blowing covers of the What If? series. I’ll throw in three What The–?! covers too for added face rockery. You’re welcome.
That… that’s the most disturbing cover I’ve ever seen. Ever.
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!
