Many terrible comics have been storytimed over the course of our 2017 Storytime Weekend of Pain, but we have yet to have anything so physically hard to look at that your eyes might bleed in the process. If you thought Ghost Racers was bad, you ain't seen nothing yet. This is Chuck Austen's magnum opus.
This is US War Machine 2.0 MAX.

>Liberty for All
It's actually Liberality for All
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA YEEEEES
...
You're right. Good catch. I'll fix it for any other storytimes idea. Also, that just made me realise that nobody has actually done Calexit yet. I assumed it and Liberality for All would be done back to back for some juxtaposition.
damn, the prequel sounds bad as well.
NO
NOT THIS
That's right folks. This is, as far as I'm aware, the only instance of nudity in an official Marvel Comic. Savor it.
Oh yeah, US War Machine 1.0 is shit, but it's kinda your standard Chuck Austen shittiness. The art is competent though so it's not really SoP-tier compared to some of Austen's other works. This though is on a whole other level.
...
...
Isn't it a bit soon for this?
...
Was it rape?
...
...
>I'm the head of the SHIELD!
Pfffffftttt. HAHAHAHAHAH
...
...
...
there's nudity in a bunch of MAX comics
Real talk, what are some actually good War Machine or War Machine/IM comics?
Oh fuck, I forgot about this one.
...
...
Didn't some nutcase make an Ant-circumcision superhero comic where his enemy was the jews? Has that been storytimed yet? Am I imagining this?
Oh God
I'm not sure if I'm ready for this
Oh yeah, now that I think about it, there was nudity in Punisher MAX and Cage MAX wasn't there? Also, Supreme Power had Zarda's tits out. Been years since I've read any of them so I had forgotten. On the other hand, this is the third year in a row reading this.
...
Ah yes, Foreskin Man. That's a classic.
...
Oooh, I've been looking forward to reading this ever since I started seeing individual pages on Sup Forums a few months back.
>If you thought Ghost Racers was bad
If you're talking about Mangaverse Ghost Rider, I actually kinda liked it. Damien and Satana were great.
Yes, that is a real comic
...
Figured I'd kick off Day 3 with a bang. Plus, I kept worrying that someone else would beat me to the storytime, and I need those precious (You)s
>literally spitting some red ink as blood
oh boy
...
...
LMAO WTF
More referring to the art. Ghost Riders is dumb fun, emphasis on the dumb, but there's a certain irreverent stupidity to the writing that I can't help but enjoy. This is similarly stupid, but takes itself a bit more seriously which almost makes it funnier since the juxtaposition of corny dialogue, overly serious subject matter, and horrible early-00s 3D art straight out of a porn comic is something else.
...
...
Whatever happened to Chuck Austen after both Marvel and DC blacklisted him anyway?
Did he just fire an RPG point blank?
...
...
...
Thing is, 3D models for comic art could work just fine. These models just fucking suck though.
Like, I'm pretty sure you could easily get better looking stuff on the Unity asset store, or just boot up a copy of Source Filmmaker and churn out a better product. And even then, maybe they ought to have gone stylistic instead of trying to have realistic textures, cause the latter just looks ugly as fuck.
And just to clarify, I'm speaking in general here. Ain't no saving this piece of shit. Chuck Austen is one of the worst writers in the business.
Since he was driven out of the comic industry, he started writing Prose Novels with such Best-Sellers as:
>Like Warm Sun on Nekkid Bottoms
>Pride and Nakedness
>Something Old, Something New
...
...
Wait, WOG?
What's that supposed to be an acronym for?
Because its also a slur
...
this page makes me kek every time
...
...
I wonder how much money Marvel wasted on this CGI crap.
...
...
Considering the quality, I'd wager not too much
But it was 03, so I dunno
...
Sad thing is that it's basically the '03 version of that scene from Hickman's Avengers where Deodatto had a clearly traced Helicarrier flying over a picture of a city with a filter overlay.
In a way, US War Machine 2.0 is ahead of its time. It's like the Dreamcast of Poser Art.

What the fuck is up with Captain America's outfit? Why this redesign?
...
>03
Seriously? But there were a ton of games out by then that looked great and still looked great. Metroid Prime is showing its age now, but it still holds up.
This comic, which as a comic doesn't have animation, has no fucking excuse.
...
Cap looks like a woman.
...
...
Well a comic series doesn't nearly have the budget a triple a vidya game has
...
...
...
You'd think that Tony would at least wait until they got the nuke to take back the tech
...
>If you thought Ghost Racers was bad,
Who in their right mind would think that?
...
Oh, I guess he did, nevermind Im retarded
Did they develope Bucky in this universe or that is just it?
Damn, MAX universe had hard times.
Meant Ghost Riders, not Ghost Racers. My bad.

What is even going on here
Whats with the squiggles. Is it electricity or something?
...
its dem lips, man
>Doom dies the same way he did in Multiversity #1
I like to think that Morrison was referencing this scene. If not then hey, at least there's further confirmation that the hypercrisis is real.
