Slapstick #1

Marvel's 2017 revival of their cartoon-physics wildcard opens with a cover that perfectly captures Slapstick's anarchic charm — the grinning, pink-haired clown hero strikes a confident thumbs-up pose, oversized mallet in hand, while behind him a startled young woman and a crumbling brick wall hint at the chaos he leaves in his wake. David Nakayama's cover art brilliantly contrasts Slapstick's flat, animated style against the more realistic figures around him, making him pop right off the page. With Reilly Brown and Fred Van Lente at the helm and Diego Olortegui handling interior art, this first issue of "That's Not Funny!" looks like a genuinely fun ride for anyone who appreciates their superhero action with a healthy dose of absurdist comedy.
