parody central

i've read lots of funny shit in my life, and one of them is one being currently circulated in teh internets (nyhahahahaha) - a spoof of Marvel's Civil War. not sure who to credit (a witty fellow named mighty god king), but geez, i am so envious that i wanted to have been the one to do that. still, its a copycat league, so might we see more of such demented works? i might start my own, but then i'd be the only one laughing. i don't need my landlord knocking on my door again.

since the concluding issue (#7 of the real series) isn't out yet, we've only so far gathered the preceding six. but its enough for a great barrel of laughs. obviously, most of the stuff are in-jokes (for those who follow the Marvel Universe), and may really not be funny to the casual reader.

actually, it makes more sense than the real Civil War (okay, Mark, put the gun down ...).

so help me God, i can't help posting my favorite funny scenes in the series. sorry, mighty god king, i really have to do this.

without further ado, here's all you need to know to catch up with Civil War. which should end ... just ... about ... now ... well? well? dammit, Millar, you still owe us the final, final, extremely-final conclusion to The Ultimates vol. 2!!!
