It’s summer, even here on What Were They Thinking? (the place where we look at all of the stupidest, most ill-advised things in all of comics history), so I thought we’d take a break from all of the racism, drugs and rape that we usually cover to chill out for a bit and hang out with some superheroes down at the beach, or by the pool, or even on an alien holiday planet. Yup, we’re going back to the 90’s and taking a look at the Marvel Swimsuit Specials (because they made 5 of the damn things).

Ok guys, last week I asked you all to come up with the best replacement dialogue for this here panel:
And our top 5 are:
CantDraw: 12:30am…I observe a strange fleshy thing coming out one door and going into a dark hole.
Rekulhs Nathe: Jesus Reed! Just go like the rest of us.
Treasure Hunter: Did I forget to change the roll again?
DiCicatriz: Dammit, Susan! If you and Reed are gonna do that in the house, at least make it invisible!

And the winner is:

Hey everyone I’m back again with a new review. I should have written this one up already, but I wanted to listen through a few more times and really get nice and comfortable with the album and story before I put this up. But now is the time and we’re going to talk about Apex, the new album from Canadian metal act Unleash the Archers. So let’s get right down to it!

So, last week on What Were They Thinking? (the place where we look at all of the stupidest and most ill-advised things in all of comics history) we talked about the New Guardians, specifically the villain in the first issue of their series, who was a vampire who infected non-caucasian people with AIDS when biting them. However, I also mentioned the villain of the second issue of the New Guardians series in passing as a further example of the series idiocy. Well, in for a penny in for a pound, we might as well take a look at this guy whilst we can, so Ladies and Gentlemen let me introduce you to Snowflame.

Ok guys, time for another caption contest, where you have to come with the funniest replacement dialogue for a random comic panel of my choosing. This week you have to replace the dialogue for this panel:
Everyone can have a maximum of 3 entries, entries must be in by next Wednesday (June 21th) and All Entries Must Be PG-13.
Posted in Caption Challenges
Time for Round 4! Your CDC is to create a member of the Cleric Class. This is the group that features medics, priests and witchdoctors among others. And yes…you can choose to create a character that blends the cleric with another character class: the Templar and Caster for example.
Once again, a brief written description of the world of your RPG is an entry requirement.
Rules for posts, contests, and challenges: Original characters only, no copyrighted characters, no characters based on copyrighted characters, no characters based on RPG’s or other games. The characters must be your own design and not based on any character that might be copyrighted in any way. Please keep all submissions PG13. I have the right to delete any post that I believe crosses this line without warning. Only post characters that have been created solely using Hero Machine, and that you know for certain have never been entered in a contest before. If you aren’t certain, don’t enter it, because I’m not going to go back through all of the contests and check.
All entries must be in JPG or PNG form (BMPs are too big), posted to a publicly accessible website (like the HeroMachine :,ImageShack, PhotoBucket, or whatever);
Please make the link go directly to the image (like this) and not to a hosting jump page (like this).
This contest will close on Sunday, June 18th at 9:00am Eastern.

Rarely here on What Were They Thinking? (the place where we take a look at the stupidest, most ill-advised things in all of comic book history) am I actually lost for words about a subject we cover. I’ve managed to find things to say about Marvel running rape storylines with both victim blaming and the victim falling for the rapist, Frank Miller turning Batman into a child abuser and the Elongated Man into a viagra salesman, and I managed to talk about The Widening Gyre. But this week, I’m exactly sure what I’m going to say, purely because the sheer level of “WHAT THE ACTUAL” is so far off the charts. And surprisingly, we aren’t talking about Marvel. Nope, it is back to DC we turn for this week, as we take a look at Hemo-Goblin.
