Sonic’s friends keep dying, the first Star Trek comics featured genocide, Beaver builds a morning star (remember when they took Michelangelo’s nunchucks away in the cartoon?), gay Transformers (when we keep being told gender is unnecessary when robots don’t reproduce sexually), Mickey works for Exxon, Danny Partridge visits a porn shoot in the same studio a family-friendly film is being shot…what’s going on here? Cracked contributor JM McNab explains (or tries to) what happens when licensed comics get weird.
