One beautiful moment I think is from that Darkhawk annual, in a backup I believe Darkhawks secret identity assaults a popcorn vendor.

Historyman68 -- Marvel already had that, actually. It was called Damage Control, ran for three separate 4-issue mini-series, and was hysterically funny.

That X-Press guy sounds like it might be a cool concept, actually. A comic focused on the guy who cleans up after super battles?
Okay, now that I actually say it out loud, maybe not so much. But it could be good, if handled well.

Damn funny. A shame that Marvel seems incapable of poking fun at themselves anymore. And I was just about to re-read the Daredevil Annual, featuring the Devourer, the return of the Zombie, and Calypso...wish me luck.

I actually liked x-cutioner. I thought it was a great idea and he was pretty well handled in generation X after...he was even a foil for gambit in his series.

Once again bless you sir for bringing light to all teh internets.

Now lets all spam the message boards proclaiming that Hitmaker and I dunno, the Irish dude must get their own series.

Whew...finally got my breath back after my hysterical laughing fit upon seeing the "Hit Maker" costume. I really love how his thighbands(?) have a special gap to allow even more metal-plated musculature to burgeon forth. And guest-starring a hastily re-colored Wolverine as the Beast!

I remember Charon from that old X-Factor annual. God help me, I may still have that comic somewhere, and the one with Empyrean, too. Even as a twelve-year-old I remember thinking, "These guys won't be back, will they?"

since it came out (and i have it), one word keeps ringing in me ear, boyo: Cuchulain! Cuchulain!

Is Hit Maker's costume for real?

I mean, like, for real?

someone has to die for this. That, and Wonder Man's mullet...

I don't recall this, I must have missed it somehow. I do remember DC's "Bloodlines," which this reminds me off. This really sounds terrible. Though I think it would be one heck of a creative challenge to take all of these characters and try to revamp them all into something good, in it's own separate series, like JMS' original SUPREME POWER, or Ellis' NEWUNIVERSAL. It may not work, but it would be fun to try.
