Just yesterday I blogged about how I thought Marvel 1985 #2 was going to be straight up amazing and boy was I right. Mark Millar is basically taking the 1980s view on comics and printing it frame by frame and word by word in these comics. I seriously love this kind of stuff (see also: Kick-Ass), yet I can't say anything until after the jump, but man-oh-man issue #2 was damn amazing.
Last week, we left our main character, Toby, running into the Hulk after discovering that Dr. Doom, The Red Skull, and Mole Man are living in a house formerly owned by his dad's best friend's family.
Cool right? Hell yes it is.
Continued on, it turns out the Hulk is in his intelligent and green form and is confused as to why he and everyone else is in the universe to which the story takes place (oddly worded, sorry). Either way, ths story moves forward as Toby tells his dad about meeting these characters from the comics and his dad refuses to believe him... I think we'll see more about his dad's knowledge on this subject in the future.
As the issue moves on, Toby begins to question whether or not he's sane (as any 13-year-old does) and if the comic books he reads (20 a month) are corrupting his mind. It's kind of clever.
Even still, I don't want to give away all of this issue, I just thought I'd say it ends in a pretty cool manner and definitely leaves you wanting issue #3 in the baddest of ways.
Thanks Mark Millar. You are a god amongst men.
