Silver age panel of Wonder Woman. She is several stories tall as she stands outside around a carnival or a boardwalk or something. She is holding a phallic looking hoagie and biting down at one end with crunching sound effects. Narration: “But to Steve’s astonishment….” Down on the ground a teeny tiny Steve Trevor looks up in disbelief and says, “SHE’S WOLFING IT DOWN!“

I'm a firm believer in buying all those trinkets and doohickeys that you can decorate your personal items with so you can see your mental support character to keep you going, like that girl with the bag full of Zoro badges is happier than you bro

This was a fun commission. The person requesting wanted an imaginary “80 Page Giant” of Wonder Woman doing only mundane things. Haha! Honestly, it makes me laugh.

So @dc.com pulled Red Hood from digital storefronts but you can still buy all of Sandman. The lesson here is that DC doesn't care if you sexually assault women, but don't you dare make fun of a dead fascist.

Tony Stark leans against an outdoor wall standing in the grass. He faces a crowd of people who are keeping their distance from him. Stark points to the side of his head and says, “THIS is Iron Man. It’s not a suit. Iron Man‘s and IDEA.“

Rightstuf was the best place to buy anime and manga. Then it was bought by Crunchyroll and everything good about it was destroyed. I love legally supporting anime and manga. My job depends on it! But Crunchyroll made it SO much harder.
