The Next Great Comic Event: Marvel Hobos
Well, come on. Eventually Marvel and DC both are going to run out of monsters for their heroes to fight and/or turn into, and they’ll have to look elsewhere for wild twists on their characters. I don’t see why Marvel Hobos or Marvel Fairy Princesses is that far-fetched, actually (although, I have to admit, while Marvel Fairy Princesses sounds awesome, I think I’d prefer reading DC Hobos?I just like the idea of Green Lantern using his ring to hold aloft a soup can, asking for change). Please do not fail to click through and see more brilliant ideas by Rachelle Goguen and Dave Howlett, including Marvel Mermaids, Marvel Ponies and more. (Via Super Punch)
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.
