Toyfare: The Toy Magazine #36

A wild, surreal night at the Oscars unfolds in Toyfare #36, where Rosie O'Donnell presides over a bizarre ceremony that sees Doom crowned best foreign film—only to be derailed by a tipsy Iron Man belting the "Thong Song." From gummed-up Xavier to Red Skull’s musical ode to Mr. Jingles, the evening spirals into chaos when "Pokémon: The Movie 2000" takes best picture over "X-Men: The Movie," sparking a full-blown brawl between the X-Men and Pokémon, with Xavier and Psyduck clashing on the psychic plane. All witnessed from home by Spider-Man and Thor, who can’t look away from the madness. Written by Pat McCallum, Tom Root, and Doug Goldstein, and illustrated with chaotic flair by Paul Schiraldi, this issue is a delightfully absurd mashup of pop culture icons.
