I'm posting this not because it's a difficult quiz, but to point out how gruesome the over-inking is in these depictions. That art is just fugly.

I don't think Kory wants multiple chromium editions of you with that score.

Does it matter that I don't understand what that means?

It is to your deep credit that you don't understand that.

Well, it is pretty basic.

I agree with Doc that the art is awful, which is what he was trying to highlight people! But you all just click your little buttons and want treats for good scores!

He ain't wrong. Fredric Wertham was making the same warnings back in the 40s and 50s and he wasn't wrong then, either (he was wrong on a lot of stuff about comics and readers, mind you). There's a fine line between seeing the fascist undertone of the superhero genre, deconstructing and warning about it (e.g., Watchmen, The Boys), and just revelling in the violence-as-morality, superiority of it all (e.g., Frank Miller).
