Adventures with at least one eye open.
Some moments in comics are just so goofy, they can never be forgotten.
Even by the heroes themselves.
In the current issue of Marvel Comics’ “Jessica Jones,” No. 2, cover date January 2017, in a flashback to happier times, Luke Cage distracts his baby mama-to-be Jessica Jones with one of his less than great exploits as she struggles through labor.

So apparently there are now only six dirty words left you can’t say – in comic books, anyway.
DC’s “Secret Six” No. 14, now available, drops an s-bomb.
The moment comes when the Ventriloquist gets stabby with her super-villain allies as they try to rescue one of their own from the League of Assassins.
The Ventriloquist’s dummy Ferdie objects to her betrayal. And then Ferdie starts to losing all feeling in his wooden limbs and can’t understand what’s happening to him.
And the Ventriloquist’s reply?
Captain America is a Nazi.
Yeah, so that happened.
In the premiere issue of Marvel Comics’ “Captain America: Steve Rogers,” Cap turned on a friend, sent him hurtling to his death, and revealed himself to be a member of Hydra.

The story that never had to happen!
“Hero for Hire” scribe Steve Englehart decided he wanted to steer street hero Luke Cage’s adventures, just for a moment, into the mainstream Marvel Universe.
And what better way than by pitting him against the Big Baddie of the MU – Dr. Doom!
It could be an epic showdown for the ages.
Or something we’ll laugh about for a good long time.
Probably the latter.

“Jughead” No. 3 is all about the No. 2.
The latest issue of the revamped Archie Comics book about Archie’s best pal, released Dec. 30, goes where no mainstream comic has gone before.
Right into the crapper.
It takes a dump.
OK, it shows a dump.
Jughead is at war with the new Riverdale High principal, who has suspended him. When the tyrant thinks he’s caught Jughead on school property, Jughead is quick to correct him.
