Most Hilarious Parody in Comics?

Most Hilarious Parody in Comics?

1) Grant Morrison and a group of artists decided to parody Liefeld's artistic styles and popularity with a Doom Patrol special called Doom Force. This both parodied Liefeld's art style as well as the general angst of X-Men comics.

2) Marshall Law any run. I think Fear and Loathing where the stupidity of the Comics Code A is explored through a parody of the 60's Legion of Superheroes. The one shots could also be possible choices in my opinion.
"Marshall Law Takes Manhattan" wherein he basically kills the Marvel Universe.
The other one may be called "The Kingdom Of the Blind" or it may not. Its basically Marshall Law kills Batman.

3) Another

Interesting resource on comics censorship, Marvel and DC don't always like being parodied and the info on the comics code A etc. It is interesting 🙂

So do I but not as much as I detest Mcfarlane 🙂

Meh, MF is a ruthless cunning ******* of a business man, but at least he could draw.
Liefeld's characters looked liked they were always trying to push out a hot loaf.

Jim Lee is still the man.

Mcfarlane could draw but I don't think imo he could write.

Jim Lee is great, Alex Ross is better

Austin Totleben and Perez are Art Gods

Morrison, Gaiman, Miller and Moore are the real deal imo

Stan Lee rocks

Stay Whirly 🤘

Stan Lee was a bit of a thief.

Ask ditko.

When deadpool was dresssing up oas marvel girl. LOL

alex ross' is prettier, but seems like its standing still sometimes... lee's doesnt...

Alex Ross is in a different category. His stuff is great, but aside from certain, big projects like Kingdom Come, Marvels, various covers and stuff, he doesn't produce that much work, whereas Jim Lee churns out a comic every month just about. That's just the nature of Ross' art, it's astounding but it's in a different category.

Lee was a bit of a thief, but what writer hasn't drawn upon influences? My favorite description of him that I've heard is that he was "P.T. Barnum and William Shakespeare rolled into one." He was a showman and wily wordsmith of polyslyllabic alliteration. If Ditko has a gripe with Lee, well we must remember that they still collaborated together for years.

As to parody, Christopher Priest's Black Panther featured a few moments that seemed to poke fun at comic continuity. Panther, Falcon, Cage and Iron Fist (I think, not sure) are fighting someone in New York. Out of nowhere, Bill Foster--(Black) Goliath--appears in his old costume and 60 feet tall. "Hey guys!" "Hey, Bill, didn't know you were still active." "A bit." It just poked fun at comics reckless abandon to retire and renew characters with no explanation, and to band characters together by something so inconsequential as skin color; just because a few black heroes are fighting, Goliath, who hasn't been seen in about 25 years appears simply because he's black.

yeah, true about ross...

Totleben never produced much either like Ross it was often painted 🙂 Takes time.

Black Goliath now that takes me back last I heard he had cancer and could not use his power. Nosalgic Whirly 🙂 wistful

Yeah. Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) gave him a blood transfusion, her universal immune system cured him, but then she lost that aspect of her powers. But that was so long ago, she's lost and gained her powers back a few times since then, so I think she has the immune system back.

I actually vaguely remember that also 🙂 wistful

Spiderwoman has Pheromones now 😕

She's always had them, but I think Brian Bendis only just found out about them, and decided to use them to cover up shitty writing.

Has she? I don't remember them in her old seventies series, I might be wrong though.

Parody? When Deadpool parodied issue 14 of Spider-man

Ed McGuiness is nasty as all hell (IMO) I just love that style.

The Udon crew do a grand job as well.

Jim lee? I need new shorts...

Salvador Larroca is also damn good.

The art in Kingdom Come, whoever did it.

Naw, he had already knew about them, he waited a few issues to actually use it though. And I don't find his writing that bad, it's pretty good most of the time. It could be worse, Chuck Austin could be back on Marvel's payroll.😉

popcultureshock.com used to have a regular parody comic
