    Sure. They’re comparing “swords.” I can read this subtext!

  2. Dazzler is talking to… sinbad?

  3. Gotta love those super creative names like Defensor

  4. “Let us gingerly touch our tips before heading into battle. And always remember to approach from the rear.”

  5. And I shall wear my glimmering codpiece of topaz into battle. Beware our might!

  6. Black Knights ebony weapon is bigger, but arabians knights is has a great curve to it

  7. Remember, a pimp brings more bling to the battle.

  8. All these posts are cracking me up right now!!!! LOL

  9. The sword subtext jumps out, but there is so much going on in this panel! Hulk’s apparently done with everyone. According to the synopsis of this story, Black Knight isn’t mentioned, so he’s just crashing the party. And apparently, Defensor’s armor is Spanish Conquistador Vibranium that he just found lying around in Argentina. So much craziness.

  10. Sword subtext aside I can only imagine what being in a room with a shirtless Hercules, Arabian Knight and Hulk smells like.

  11. Defensor is what the Protectobots combine to form.

  12. Props to Defensor for bringing protection. No shield, no sword fight.

  13. Definitely not a highlight for Mark Gruenwald that’s for sure.

  14. Man. Comics are ridiculous.

  15. Even Hulk thinks they are being silly.
