In honour of Valentine’s Day, as well as cynicism, we’re discussing each others’ picks for WORST COMIC BOOK COUPLES! Some couples just don’t work, even beyond the usual ups and downs of decades-long continuity. Maybe you root for them, but deep down they’re just bad for each other, and sometimes everyone around them. Bry thinks Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris have left too much destruction in the wake of their romance! Kyle says that Quicksilver and Crystal of the Inhumans deserved to be hit by the Annulment Mists! And Merk has serious ethical concerns about Doctor Lady Jane Foster and Thor Odinson’s off-and-on relationship, and quite possibly the entire idea of superheroes dating civilians at all! And strap in, true believers: this episode’s got Thor lore galore!
But first! Merk tests Kyle and Bry in a comic-book love interest quiz! We’ve got all the hits: Iron Man’s “nose mask” is rusty for no one’s pleasure! Can Batman ever be completely sure he never hooked up with Clayface? What are some wild examples of heroes dating villains? Tony Stark and She-Hulk compete for the most super-romantic entanglements. And more, much more!
(Oh, and Paul Rabin ****ing sucks, but you already knew that, even Dylan Brock knows that.)
