(manga) Embalming--A musical interlude
It's Halloween week, so here's yet another horror-related post!
"Embalming--The Another Story of Frankenstein" takes place in an alternate Victorian era where the events in Mary Shelly's book more or less actually happened. Victor Frankenstein failed to destroy his notes, and copies of them have been distributed all over Europe. This has led various mad folk to create their own patchwork monsters, colloquially known as "Frankensteins." Most Frankensteins are homicidal maniacs, either due to the horror of the creation process, or because they weren't terribly stable to begin with.
The main heroes (at least in the part I'm posting) are Fury Flatliner, a spiky-haired fellow who hates all Frankensteins since his parents were killed by some; and Elm, a Frankenstein of superior construction quality and sanity, but stuck in the body of a loli. They quarrel frequently. In this storyline, they're investigating a series of murders in the East End, the Whitechapel neighborhood to be precise. They're joined by Inspector Abberline of Scotland Yard and Violet Kelly, a plucky orphan girl.
These scans are from the July 2009 issue of Jump Square, 8 pages of 40. I have one more story I want to show from this volume, but it's a bit more complex, so still working out which pages to scan. In the meantime, I have some stuff in (British) English I think you folks might like.

It seems some people had the same idea I did last night
After Punisher Week, Ruins, and the ending of the recent New Mutants (on top of the general misery that the 616 has become in the last 6 years), it was time for cracky S-D fun. Icon_u.k. made me think of this (so he/she is to blame), the most Epic Battle ever to grace the pages of Marvel Comics.
I give you...

Fusion #1 Completed (Links Updated)
Over on the old Scans Daily site, I posted a NSFW erotic parody of JLU known as the "Great Scott Saga." (It was composed of 4 parts: "Great Scott," "Fool Me Once . . ." "Birds of a Feather," and "Hell or High Water.") Although I'm still working on "Hell or High Water," I've also started working on an original comic series called Fusion.
I posted a 7-page preview of Fusion a few months ago and got lots of good feedback. Well, I've finished the first issue and will post it here.
I've corrected a few errors on the first 7 pages and tweaked the text on page 2 slightly since that initial preview post, thanks in part to the comments I've gotten here and on other forums.
Now that this first issue is done, I'm gonna work on finishing my NSFW Great Scott Saga and start Issue 2 of Fusion (which is pretty much scripted already). Hope you folks enjoy the comic!

The Importance of Being Frank: The Punisher versus Ulik
So, I saw you guys were having a Punisher week. Seeing as I've never really owned (or read) any of Frank's ongoing titles or mini's - with exception of the War Zone issue packed in with his Marvel Legends action figure - I was wondering just what I could contribute. Duh, Marvel Knights, the 15-issue mini-series that had Daredevil reluctantly teaming with and against the Punisher. From those hallowed pages, I bring you: Frank Castle, the Punisher versus Ulik the Rock Troll.
Scans (not mine) are from issue #3 of the title, 7 out of 22. Written by Chuck Dixon, pencilled by Ed Barreto.

Plans, schematics, schemes of all kinds... they're Lex Luthor's forte.
Sometimes, they're cool, like the gun he designed to kill Swamp Thing.
Sometimes, they're terrible, like the kryptonite cage he cleverly disguised to " [capture] Superboy through his sheer dumbness! "
Sometimes, they're just plain WTF, like the jetpack he built out of a fast food place's kitchen.
( And sometimes, as in Rick Veitch's Question.. )

You'll feel like a New Man, Alfred
Yikes. Is this one of the most famous faces of the 20th Century? you bet.
Alfred E Neuman is not an original creation of MAD MAGAZINE, of course. The grinning impish face (with a missing tooth and ears like an early warning system)goes way way back. He appears in ads and postcards in the years before WW I, although the further back one digs, the less clear the resemblance becomes until you're not sure if you can really call that poster for a painless dentist an ancestor or not. This charming portrait first appeared in MAD# 27, the April 1956 issue. The illustration was taken from an old postcard. The border itself is worth studying for a few minutes at the higher magnification, being art by Harvey Kurtzman, Will Elder and Wally Wood.
