I really need to dig up my copy of "Archie Meets the Punisher" and put that thing on eBay... posted by scaryblackdeath at 8:38 PM on August 13, 2006
Funny, I just read about the origins of the early Avengers/Justice League of America crossovers at the always great Comics Should Be Good! (Scroll down).
Couldn't seem to find any mention of the Black Lama, aka King Jerald, aka Gerald Ford of Earth-7511, though. posted by Alvy Ampersand at 8:39 PM on August 13, 2006
I remember coming across that X-Men/Teen Titans crossover in my buddy's pile of comics one day as a kid and just being flabbergasted..."But...how can they...why don't they...this doesn't make any sense!!!" Great post! posted by The Card Cheat at 9:34 PM on August 13, 2006
I've read the Archie/Punisher crossover. Funny stuff. Here's the book in gallery format for the interested:
X-Men/Star Trek was mostly lame, but had some nice moments.

Comic books are for losers anyways. posted by blue_beetle at 9:44 PM on August 13, 2006
What an excellent post. That's some great stuff. posted by squidfartz at 10:26 PM on August 13, 2006
...and thank you, saraswati.
I'm genuinely suprised that worked at all. posted by squidfartz at 10:44 PM on August 13, 2006
Bat Lash, the writer of the Archie/Punisher crossover, is a truly funny, clever guy. Glad to see him get some props here. posted by maryh at 11:32 PM on August 13, 2006
Did geocities change it's bandwidth policies? How are these sites still up? posted by delmoi at 1:44 AM on August 14, 2006

Could be Geocities Plus (25gb data transfer limit) or Pro (100gb). posted by saraswati at 1:57 AM on August 14, 2006
Ther Superman/Quik bunny thing isn't really that disturbing for me... almost all the major DC and Marvel characters did those stupid ads where the solution was Hostess Fruit Pies, so why not a tie-in with a chocolate milk company as well? posted by XQUZYPHYR at 7:58 AM on August 14, 2006
Man, the "Celebrities and Politicians" list missed a couple of good ones:
-nude George W. Bush licks Magneto's boots clean on the White House front lawn, on national TV.
-extremely lame mutant prostitute who follows the X-Men around sneaks into Bill Clinton's house to molest him.
-Someone who is clearly Princess Di with new hair clumsily drawn over her head joins and leads X-Statix. posted by COBRA! at 11:18 AM on August 14, 2006
The Punisher/Archie crossover is actually pretty good. posted by brain_drain at 11:22 AM on August 14, 2006
ZachsMind: Even if I won it, which I doubt, the money would go to charity. I don't even know what I'm supposed to do to apply to win, so I doubt it.
But as for Geocities links...why not? Assuming the content doesn't suck, why would we harbour prejudice against someone just for choosing a webhost we don't like? Maybe we should ban any Mefi who uses AOL? posted by Kickstart70 at 11:37 AM on August 14, 2006
"But as for Geocities links...why not?"
I'm an old fart who still hates Geocities from the late 90s. I had a website through them that I called the Prosaic Asylum but it's lost now, and though it was probably my fault (I lost the password and they didn't have a way for me to get it back back then) I still hate them for it.
It's an old wound that never healed...

Wouldn't that cross be easier to bear if you had a team-up with the Hulk and maybe George Foreman for a while? posted by COBRA! at 12:22 PM on August 14, 2006
