The Summoner

An ogre looms over a man and says “Why have you summoned me, oh man?”

the man, looking up at the ogre: I, uh, didn't. I was just smoking weed and listening to metal. I even lit a candle to cover the smell.

the ogre: You played the infernal cords, burned the sacred herbs, and lit the unholy candle.

man: aw man those emails my aunt keeps forwarding me were right

But seriously, bring back Koryak.

Namor: So Black Manta kills your son and you make his son your sidekick? You should have struck him dead. First born blood demands first born blood.
Aqualad: Thanks for that.
Aquaman: I don't work that way. And anyway, Arthur Jr was not my first son. Koryak was. His mother and I had a brief fling as teenagers. I didn't meet him until he was young man. He died in a crisis. don't remember which one. We have a lot of them.
Namor: Did you get revenge for him?
Aquaman: He came back as a narwhal, it's fine.

Rick Jones coined the term in Peter David’s Captain Marvel run.

Gwenpool: Hey, fellow fourth wall breaking lady! Break any fourth walls recently?
She-Hulk: Technically speaking it’s one of my superpowers. “Comics awareness.” get it, it’s a play on cosmic awareness. It’s the ability to process fundamental knowledge of workings of the universe and translate said knowledge in a way the human mind can comprehend without shattering.
Gwenpool: ooh, metaphysics-y.
She-Hulk: It’s mostly to make the science types happy. They get uncomfortable when things get too…”fun.”

Jerry Seinfeld had a bit in his book about how gift cards were a slap in the face gift because they were just less useful cash and I was all “FUCK YOU THEY SHOW WHOEVER YOU’RE SHOPPING FOR THAT YOU KNOW WHAT THEIR INTERESTS ARE BUT DON’T WANT TO RISK BUYING THEM THE WRONG THING FROM SAID INTEREST.”

What meaningless thing/experience are you still mad about? Like it should not matter at all, DOES not matter at all. But you’re still MAD.

And how long has it been?

I bought some bagels at Hy-Vee four years ago. So bad. Too big. Hard. Bland. WORTHLESS.

I’m still FURIOUS.

My “I am here of my own free will” letter is raising a lot of questions already answered by my letter.

Dracula: Johnny, I think you should write a letter to send back to England telling them that your business is concluded and you shall be returning home shortly, entirely unfucked by Count Dracula.
Jonathan Harker: …because it is and I will be?
Dracula: oh johnny

Lee Forrester: Oh no, it’s Scott Summers. He’s my ex. He’s had it in for me ever since I kinda made out with his son.
Jennifer Walters: You did?
Lee: Well, replace the word "kinda" with the word "repeatedly," and “made out with” with "fucked.”

“Sure the outfits weren’t practical but when you look at the men-“ it’s not about practicality, it just turns out that walking with what appears to be entirely dislocated hips isn’t actually that sexy.
