Zut Alors!

How this blatant xenophobia made it into print with Batroc The Leaper nowhere in sight I have no idea:

That's just shocking! It does nothing but imply that all French men are cheap, mustachioed lotharios.

I can only apologise profusely to all my baguette munching, snail cooking, beret wearing readers out there.

Pourquoi Marvel? Pourquoi?

(Today's rampant insensitivity towards our European brothers was brought to you by the wonderfully enjoyable Chaos War: Dead Avengers #2 by YouAreComic fave Fred Van Lente and the highly talented Tom Grummet. Other highlights include Doc. Druid's ghost making out with half-naked bad-girl Nekra as a battle strategy. The boys will be lining up to be on Cap. Marvel's Avengers team!)

Embarrassing Moments In Super-Villainy #8

Solomon Grundy is essentially an immortal killing machine. Sure he's always wearing pants that don't quite fit and he talks like Jar Jar Binks mentally challenged younger brother. But dude has the power to bitch-slap three Justice Leaguers in the chops - - at the same time!

It's good to know that when Earth 2 is menaced by the unquiet dead, zombie armageddon can be averted by a well-armed Krusty the Clown.

(Today's nod to the Phantom Flan Flinger was brought to you by Justice League of America v1 #47. The conclusion of an epic two-parter that features the Spectre keeping Earth 1 and Earth 2 from colliding by jamming his body between them and having the Justice League punch out the dastardly Anti-Matter man while standing on his ass.)
