Comic Art
Continuing our journey through lam-o Spidey villians What can you say about a guy named Typeface? Obviously invented by someone who spent waaaaaay to much time fiddling with computer fonts, Typeface just sounds like the kind of bad guy only a font geek amongst comic geeks could love.
This guy has got to have come out of one of those bullpen brainstorming sessions where they did not have time to invent and actual character, so they came up with a villian theme and personified it instead. Fine for action, but lousy for actual, you know...story.This guy would not be so bad if it were still the 1940's and mere sight of a guy with powers and tights was enough to make the public wonder. I mean look at that dialouge on the left..."purveyors of poisonous rhetoric" - you have to love the alliteration - but otherwise that has to be the lamest line since "...take over the world." Sadly, this guy is fairly new, proving creativity is still hard to come by.
