If you’ve already bought Superman/Batman #75, you’ve already seen this and can carry on. If you haven’t bought Superman/Batman #75, then you should probably be aware that there’s an insanely wonderful Calvin and Hobbes parody strip in it, starring Joker and Lex Luthor, by Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo. It’s so well done I’d swear Bill Watterson drew it, except he totally didn’t. My only question is this — does this make Spaceman spiff Darkseid or Brainiac? (Via The High Definite)
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
