    Default Cover Contest May 17 - May 23: I didn't know this was supposed to be funny...

    Since the cover that I posted in last week's contest featured attorney Jennifer Walters, and featured the epic, iconic hero Fprbush-Man, I figured we could go with a comic theme this week. This contest will be to post a cover showing something funny whether intentional or unintentional in a book that is not usually funny. This is VERY vague, I know, but that should allow everyone to express their sense of humor. Here's my prototype (You can see Forbush-Man next to Jen's leg):



    And let's review the RULES:
    1) Post One (& ONLY ONE) Cover that fits the theme of this Week's Contest!
    2) Cover must be from a Published Comic Book or Graphic Novel or Collected Volume!
    3) Covers must be Posted before Voting Begins!
    4) Voting Begins 12 AM Tuesday and Runs Until 12 AM Wednesday PDT (3 AM EDT)!
    5) Vote by Posting the name in BOLD of the Poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most! A vote need not be in bold, but it does make it easier to Count-The-Votes!
    6) The Winner of the Contest is the Entry with the MOST Votes after the Voting-Period!
    7) It's Okay to Discuss the Covers but if you Think Someone's Entry Doesn't Fit the Theme or Violates the Rules, you Don't need to Argue it in the thread, Simply Don't Vote for It!
    8) Plus: Occasionally Voting will Result in a Tie! The Person Who Started the Thread will do the Counting that Week will Usually call for a TIE-Breaking --Vote from Someone who has Not Yet Voted!
    9) AFTER the Tie-Breaker Vote, Voting Ends and the Winner is Declared by The One Who Started the Thread (or assigned surrogate) and Thus will do the Counting.
    10) HAVE FUN!

    Why are you laughing? We're all going to die tomorrow in agony we will all lie
    Why are you laughing why so amused? Tomorrow senility will you confuse
    Why are you laughing why so self assured? Tomorrow death and disease you'll endure
    Why are you laughing to that happy music? Only fools and idiots are optimistic
    This isn't a film with a happy end only death and disease wait for us at the end
    So why are you laughing?

    I am posting this because somebody has to.

    There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

    ya see the thing with humor is that it could either be real funny or completley terrible, the nightmare comes with everyone thinking your unfunny.

    Going with the Deadpool humor.
    I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
    A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:

    Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
    Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.
