That's funny because it's horrible. The Dirty Pair reference is a bit below-the-belt though (uh, so to speak). Adam Warren fills his "cheesecake stories" with huge amounts of tongue-in-cheek humor and crazed sci-fi geekery of the highest order, so it depresses me to think of Dirty Pair being used as flat-out wank material. "Fatal, But Not Serious" is one of the best send-ups of Comic Conventions I've ever seen.
True story related to the subject at hand - I once ordered a back issue of Justice League International that arrived bagged, boarded and with the FI label on it. I was really happy right until I opened it up and found a pube inside it. Right between two pages with Fire in a bikini in it. Needless to say, I washed my hands until I saw tiny blood droplets, demanded a refund and eventually got a new, pubeless copy. *shudder*
Ah, I see what you did there then, presumably the author of the comic! My bad and kudos to you for that.
Empowered is indeed amazing. The last story in Book 2? That was a totally awesome sucker punch to the gut. Now I'm really curious how dark he's going to get in Volume 3.
Heh. BUT awfully amusing.

ReplyDeleteHence my making the joke. I'm sure there's someone spanking it to Empowered (which is fan-tas-tic) right now.
