Welcome to Super-FlyDay!
WTF is this, you ask? Didn't ask? Well too bad, let me tell you anyway. On Fridays, allow me send you into the weekend with a grab bag of goodies -- link round ups, features, gag posts, guest posts, guest gag posts... anything goes!

This Super-FlyDay, I'm handing the reins over to my friend Muffins: comic book geek, brother from another mother, comic book geek -- oh wait I already said that... So this is a little out of my usual range of blog topics, but it's always nice to shake things up a bit! I told him to write about what he knows, but do it in the context of fashion, and do not list anyone with spandex. This is what happened.

Jackie Estacado |
After Garth Ennis and Steven Dillon finished their masterpiece, Preacher, Ennis went on to write The Darkness. No, not the band that believes in a thing called love, The Darkness in short is about Jackie Estacado -- dude who controls demons. There is a lot more to it, but I’m not here to talk to you about that. Jackie as seen here, with The Darkness is wearing a pretty cool-ass suit. While a lot of people wear suits like Bruce Wayne or Tony Stark, Jackie kills people in it like an gangster, and that's because Jackie is Mafia. I thought that was cool and wanted to share it with you while subtly plugging Preacher. Also this dude rips people in half, how the hell does that suit never get bloody? Probably has good cleaners.
Batman has a lot of villains, and most recognizable of all of the villains is the Joker. In Suicide Squad, dude looked like a chode. Normally, the Joker looks like a demented clown in a purple suit, nothing special about that. In The Killing Joke, which I recommend you read as it is considered an important graphic novel in both the comic book world and academia, he has a new outfit. In The Killing Joke, Joker shows up to Barbara Gordon’s house with a Hawaiian shirt on, with a purple hat and a camera. He also has a gun and shoots and paralyzes her, who happens to be Batgirl. However, Joker didn’t realize that Barbara Gordon is also Batgirl, and this enrages Batman. The moral of this story is Hawaiian shirts, they make you do some fucked up shit. Don’t wear them unless you want to be labeled as a goonoloid. Even if you go to Hawaii just fucking don’t.
Honorable mentions for good fashion: Snot Girl, any symbiote victim like Venom and Carnage.(THAT'S NOT SPANDEX, ANGEL, THAT'S AN ALIEN PARASITE!) I would like to also shout out the current Ms. Marvel, Kamala Khan, she is a Muslim American rocking a cool costume. Also Squirrel Girl. She has a special place in my heart because she looks like a dork.
So... that was a thing.
Thank you Muffins, for being the first guest poster on my blog I guess.
Happy Easter, everyone!
