I found this little thing over at beaucoupkevin(dot)com and this is what it came up with for me...


Your challenge is to write crossover fanfiction combining Harvey Birdman and X-Files.
The story should use starting a band as a plot device!

Generated by the Terrible Crossover Fanfiction Idea Generator


I think 98% of fanfic is ridiculous, but this may have potential....

Ask The Batman...

Dear Batman,

I've been having some problems getting my boyfriend to be completely honest with me. Sometimes he comes home late and won't tell me where he's been all night. I'm afraid he might be cheating! What's the best way to get information out of him?

Worried in Gotham

Dear Worried,


I find that the best way to get a perp to give up information is to inflict as much pain as possible in a very short amount of time. If you are in a hurry, because your girlfriend's heart has been removed by a psychopath who wants to kill you, I suggest the 'electrified toilet bowl' method as I demonstrated in Detective Comics #849 on the Scarecrow
.


I think you'll find it very easy and effective.
Sincerely, The Batman

Quick Hits

Venom: Dark Origins # 3:

The symbiote is evil. I know this because...


...the thing will twang you in the eye!

Spider-Man Noir #1



The "Marvel Noir" thing looks pretty cool. I'll be keeping an eye on this.

Wolverine #8

I am currently reading through Marvel Essentials: Wolverine Vol. 1, and I have to say that it is reminding me why Wolverine is such a popular character in the first place. These old stories are spectacular, especially when he is spending time in Madripoor as "Patch". The best so far is #8:


The Hulk (Mr. Fixit at the time) shows up and Wolverine does nothing but play pranks on the guy for the whole issue, tricking the Big Grey Guy into foiling his own mission. Fantastic. Read some Essentials to remember what Wolverine was like before he was starring in 30 books a month.

The Poll - After tallying the votes (all 5 of them) we have an inconclusive tie! Let's call it even and say that we are currently in a comic-based movie renaissance, and the next few years look to be some of the most exciting ever for fans of comics and movies. Lets just hope we keep getting more like "Iron Man" and that this never happens:

Good answer...

I asked a friend of mine recently, 'Who would you rather be, Wally West or Barry Allen?' I didn't realize that he had no idea that either of these men were The Flash, so I explained that to him.

His answer: "Frank Castle."




Correct.
