Marvel Superheroes in “One More (Bad) Day”
All right, admittedly, this short cart0on by Junaid Chundrigar doesn’t represent any part of any actual Marvel continuity — it just shows the Marvel hereos at their most hapless instead of heroic. That said, I have decided on my own that this cartoon now represents the official future of the Marvel-616 universe. When the earth dies, it will be because a pudgy, listless Galactus floated by, and Earth orbited directly into his gaping maw. Hey, it makes more sense than Earth-X. (Via The Mary Sue)
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.
