It's Got to Be Tough Being a Parent Who Loves Comics

If you want your kid to read Spider-Man, you've either got to hand them the ridiculous pablum that is the Marvel Adventures line (or Marvel Age, or whatever they're calling it) or you can have the regular MU Spidey, where he can be found snogging an eight-year-old or getting his fucking eye torn out.

I mean, Jesus, even when Spidey got his ass handed to him by Kulan Gath in that X-Men two-parter, it wasn't as messed up as that page.

Granted, there's Ulty Spidey, which might actually be getting good again. But that's got to be confusing, since all the other Ulty titles really aren't good for kids.

Ah, Marvel. Got editors?

Update: I've been told that the eyeball in question has been nicknamed "Li'l Squitch." Therefore, strips like this and this are just inevitable.

Widge and his teeth...kinda

This is me.

No, really.

I am a writer, poet, spoken word performer, actor, singer, improviser, content creation and idea machine, freelance iconoclast, and the internet's janitor that dispenses pop culture wisdom to the protagonist of your choice. I have seen too many movies, read too many comic books, and when the zombies finally come, I'm the one you want to call. I sure as hell won't answer the phone, but it's the thought that counts. I advise people on the net, websites and technology, because I know these things instead of having a life or sleeping.

If you like something I've done, donate to the Widge Wants to Kill His Day Job Fund. Or if you'd like to hire me for a job, my rates are terribly reasonable. We thank you.
