Heroes of the H-Mansion (5 of 10)

A webcomic done by Gurihiru, a Japanese artist team best known for their work on POWER PACK, it's a very irreverent take on the Marvel Universe, if the characters all lived in the same apartment building.

This installment is very similar to the previous one, but with Deadpool swapped out for Iceman.

Translation notes and short bios for new characters at my blog.

	'No more Mr Ice Guy' is the best joke in this set. (Although 'owe me a solid' is good, too.) Although I've now got Alice Cooper music stuck in my head. (Reply to this)

	Marvel should ask Guihiru to publish this as back-up strips on the MA titles! I'll never get tired of Moustache!Iron Man's suit. (Reply to this) (Thread)

I think since Marvel regularly keep Gurihiru in their employ, they no doubt know about this. They just don't know that anybody knows about it or likes it.

Seems like Hero Planet stopped funding the comic two years ago, so I'd say that the only chance this comic has of ever being continued is if the fans speak loudly enough for Marvel to take notice.

Which would 1) be fantastic, and 2) remove the need for all these awful name puns. :)

	Oh, I know. We can only hope... But really, the name puns add a layer of chessy awesomeness that I really enjoy! XD (Reply to this) (Parent)

	How can DD play mahjong? There's a "feel" aspect to the game that I know of, but how can he know he's not being cheated? And yup, even in parody universe Woolbie > Scottie. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Those are Kana. The Kana are two phonetic alphabets that you learn in the first two weeks of Japanese 1. It's a pretty awesome writing system and it's a crying shame that they decided to overlay Kanji on top of most of it. The two Kana are Hiragana and Katakana - Hiragana is the normal kind that is interleaved with Kanji in normal writing. Katakana is more angular and used like bold face, or to write loanwords.

The two Kana in that particular image are Hiragana; the first is "Ka" the second is "Ji."

	D'oh. I know of the two systems, but I always forget which is which. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	OK, the 'he's a loser! It's funny!' shtick with Scott is starting to get a bit old. The one with Iron Man and the fish pond was pretty funny, though. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I will say that Byclops does get a little break in what is probably the high point of the comic, so it's not all hating on Byclops. OK, so it's about 99% hating on Byclops. As for Iron Man, he might just be my favorite of all these retakes. He's just so well-meaning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He's pretty funny, all right - he's like a refugee from the Land of the Rich. 'You mean floors DON'T come pre-equipped with Persian carpets? Fascinating!' (Reply to this) (Parent)
