Is this not the whackest shizzle you evah seen, niggaz? (is that how that is pronounced? I'm using an online translator here, cut me some slack) A snip from the Boingboing post:
Matt Fraction shares a sneak-preview of his forthcoming graphic novel, The Five Fists of Science, starring Mark Twain and Nikola Tesla in a race to save the world from Thomas Edison and J.P Morgan. "Best part? It's true. Almost," says Matt.
You know some underachieving physics grad is going to be living his dreams through this.

Thanks idlex. Gawker says it’s not whoring if you do it for free, you know.
Did you realize it’s the 100th anniversary of animation …and Edison is to blame? I think he also invented Narnia porn ;-)

Okay, now I HAVE to get this comic. And so do the four people yesterday who surfed here looking for Narnia Porn. I still say that Lucy in the picture I found looks like a seventies Britporn star, and she’s just waiting to get up to something pervy with Aslan and a couple of hamadryads on the Dancing Lawn.
