Cyborg-like characters in comic books are a dime-a-dozen, especially after the Image Comics revolution.

From the Robocop wannabes to every possible man-machine interface permutation, cyborgs are a natural addition to every team formation. While DC Comics’ Teen Titans and Justice League member Cyborg is the only one who actually calls himself “Cyborg”, there were other cyborg-like characters before Victor Stone.

One of those that came way before Cyborg’s first appearance in 1980 was Marvel Comics’ Deathlok, who was introduced in 1974 via the pages of Astonishing Tales #25.


While he may seem somewhat gruesome thanks to his half-zombie look caused by his cybernetic implants, his abilities are akin to RoboCop’s, with the mechanical and cyber implants in his armour making him super strong. One major difference from RoboCop is Deathlok's agility and reflexes, which are augmented by his computer brain.

Deathlok has been around for half a century now, though sadly, he has been little more than a bucket of bolts being passed around a few Marvel books and events.

Could you plese give me the name of a album that was released in the 2000s or maybe mid-late 1990s?

It has everything from completely fictional to autobiographical comics. One comic is about how the cartoonist in his youth came across a collection of unused film stock and made epic films that featured, among others, Stalin, Pius XII and rampant buffaloes.

Another comic is about the chess player "The Mechanical Turk" and a young Bobby Fischer.

One is about how a group of people discussing old TV shows have a meeting that ends in disaster, and it was just as well because the venue was booked wrong. Nazis were supposed to have it.

One is about how intelligent turnips are tricked into being picked with the song "Teddy Bear's Picnic".

And one is quite long, involving time travel.

What is the name of the cartoonist and the comic book album? Do you know that, please?

1977-2022...Marvel at Star Wars 45th anniversary!

Back in May 25th, 1977, "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away", a movie arrived in theaters
that changed the world...."Star Wars".

Soon after, came the comic book adaptation from Marvel Comics (then, later, Dark Horse Comics, and then back to Marvel!).

Let's look back at these comics!

Hey webheads,
My name is Peter, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are fat, r*****ed, no-lifes who spend every second of their day looking at stupid ass pictures. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any pussy? I mean, I guess it's fun making fun of people because of your own insecurities, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than jerking off to pictures on Facebook.
Don't be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I'm pretty much perfect. I became a science teacher and manage to deal with my problems. How do you deal with your problems, other than "jack off to naked drawn Japanese people"? I also get straight A's, and have a banging hot girlfriend (She just blew me; Sh*t was SO cash). You are all maggots who should just learn responsibility. Thanks for listening.

Batman is a much better than character than Superman. I understand that Superman's main appeal is that he is a perfect man and his goody persona is heartwarming. But this can only go so far until it gets boring. Batman on the other hand is a self made hero that has many flaws to make him an intriguing complex character. This is because Bruce knows if he gives up being Batman he will find happiness but his vengeance is what drives him. Also I dont know why anyone would root for Superman to beat Batman in a fight. Superman beating Batman is something very realistic and predictable. Watching a god pummel a man dressed as a bat isnt something that would be interesting in a comic book setting. Rather the underdog and the one that relies on brains instead of brawn should be the victor. I am not a batfag, I just know that Batman is a superior character to Superman.

Does anyone else here really like Dork Diaries? It is like Diary of a Whimpy Kid, but it has more appeal for adults and anime fans. It is about the adventures of Nikki Maxwell in middle school. There is even a spoiled alpha rich girl Mackenzie Hollister frenemy character.

The 15th book in the series. "Tales from a not so Posh Paris Adventure" was supposed to come out, but it just kept getting pushed forward during COVID, and it still isn't out
