The Mystery of the Blood Volcano
A string of suicide bombings have cut across Transhumanvania's heart, so a renowned vampire hunter calls in his secret weapon: The Heroes of Science! But trouble brews as George Washington Carver is convinced that someone is out to get him and the vampire hunter tries to get into Marie Curie's pants. Can the Heroes of Science defeat this scourge?
Panel 4
This is a list of what I believe to be mankind's greatest achievements. First is the stately
Tesla Coil, invented by our beloved Nichola, Dolly the cloned sheep, a vat of vat grown meet
(I am well aware nobody has actually created vat grown meet, but the science is already there,
we just need somebody to apply it!), Gunter Hermann from Deus Ex, Leonardo da Vinci's crazy
helicopter thing, peanut butter, a nuclear bomb, and Albert Einstein.
Panel 5
This is derived from the DVD cover for Johnny Quest.
Panel 1
At long last a crowd scene. There's a neck-bearded nerd that will eventually become a
recognizable character and Leonardo da Vinci is in the back dancing with two Leather
Daddies.
Also, I'm quite fond of my take on George Washington. Note the huge phat chornic blunt
and the giant bong. Believe it or not George Washington wrote extensively about growing
cannibus. Not just for hemp ropes and shit, either. He seperated out the male and female
buds, which as I understand it, is what makes THC potent enough to mean anything. George
Washington was a pot head.
Panel 3
Fat, neck-bearded guy is talking to a Monarch Henchman! Could they be #21 and #24 from
Venture Bros, the best little Johnny Quest parody in the west?
Panel 2
Be on the lookout for the cast from Scooby Doo. Also, the nightclub is called "Glycon Hall."
Glycon was a Roman snake god that was somehow tied to medicine. His primary claim to fame is
that the avatar of Glycon that interacted with the Roman world at large was a sock puppet.
His second claim to fame is the fact that legendary comic book writer, Alan Moore, worships
this sock-puppet snake god.
Panel 5
Oh look, Count Floyd from SCTV is going to blow up Velma from Scooby Doo and tehe black guy
from the beginning of Enter the Dragon.
Panel 4
I'm no chemist, but I seriously doubt peanut butter can do that.
Panel 4
Dr. Acula, my, my what a strange name. This harkens back to Dracula's history of using the
alias Alucard, which is just his name backwards. I mean, if Charles Manson escaped from jail
would you be suspicious of somebody who looks exactly like him named Nosnam Selrahc? I suspect
such a thing would occur.
Panel 5
Look at the freaky wrestler leg lamp. Damn you Christmas Story, damn you to hell!
Panel 4
Here's a shocking reveal. Marie Curie's face didn't really fall like a souffle, instead
that's just how she looked. In the future girls tend to hide their giant, manly jaws, but
to someone who grew up in 19th century Poland, this is a foreign concept.
Panel 2
In the future there will be furries.
Panel 4
In the future George Romero's dead cycle and Total Recall will be owned by Pepsi and
licensed as soda. Also, Mr. Peanut will be The Terminator.
Panel 4
The nerd statue is from a comic I made about a blind guy with a pet Medusa a few years ago.
Panel 4
Doctor Acula is James Bond villaining to George Washington Carver.
Panel 6
Bravo. And the slowest horse passes the finish line.
Panel 1
It has been entirely too long since Albert Einstein Liefeld Leapt at someone.
Panel 3
"Very dangerous.
You go first."
Panel 1
You'd think that as a semi-pro Vampire Hunter George Washington would have thought of this
before, but well, this way is funnier.
Panel 2
Funny how ripping his heart out didn't make him bleed even a little, and shooting himself
in the head didn't leave a scratch. But jam a pair of wooden dentures into his back, and
whoa-ho-ho.
Panel 3
-- Star Trek 2: Wrath of Khan.
