Let's Pretend, For a Minute, Comic Books aren't Lame

This shit is funny.

More specifically, "this shit" is a the life story of "Luke Cage," a black comic book hero, told in honor of Black History Month. I don't really know from comics, but the post includes a panel in which a man punches a villain and says "This is getting monotonous, BOYEES." This is explained as follows:

For the record, the story that panel is from involves the Punisher getting cut up by Jigsaw and having new skin grafted to his face by a former med student turned heroin-addict prostitute, which has the result of turning him black for three issues until a story called, and I'm totally serious here, "Fade to White." That, friends, is deserving of its own post.
Seriously? Maybe I need to start reading more comics, because that sounds incredible.

Comments:
the life story of "Luke Cage," a black comic book hero Man, don't be saying "Luke Cage" like you've never heard of him before. Where do you think Nick Cage got his stage name from? (Note: scroll down to the bottom of the page for the relevant trivia)

I suppose it's a good thing I didn't respect Nick Cage to begin with.
