Amazing Super Powers
« on: March 05, 2010, 12:55:17 PM »
So, does anyone else read this web comic?  I find their odd, dark humor quite funny.  Also, note that each comic has an alt text (like XKCD), and the newer ones have a "secret" alt comic, which you can find by clicking the hidden ? button to the upper right of the comic (which appears when you hover your mouse over it).

Some of my favorites:
Weird drug dealer
Time Machine
Locksmith
Snowball
See crime everywhere

And probably my all time favorite:
Aw nuts

So, has anyone else even heard of this webcomic?  No one else is saying anything.  I also have no idea how popular this comic is.  I'm assuming it's nowhere near XKCD or PennyArcade.

Yeah, I hadn't heard of this ever until I saw this thread. I think it would've at least sounded familiar if I'd seen it mentioned somewhere. The comics I've seen of it are funny, but right now I lack the time and dedication to go on an archive binge. Maybe when the school year's over.
Does the comic have a forum? You should be able to get some idea of its popularity from that. (Though obviously, not all or even the majority of readers post on a forum.)

I was thinking about searching for a forum, but I haven't had the free time (well, sort of).  I've seen pictures of these guys at conventions, but that just means they go to conventions. ;)

It seems like a good webcomic to read when I want to go on a killing spree.

I did enjoy the first part but school tends to take up most of my time nowadays so I'm fairly slow at picking up new web comics.

A lot of them haven't been good lately, but I do like this one, particularly the hidden comic.

The comic hasn't been as funny lately, but something about the imagery of the last panel cracked me up.  I think it was the lap dance.

Also, the alt comic was funny in an odd way.
