Marvel Romance Redux:
Restraining Orders are for Other Girls
The two Marvel Romance Redux books that I picked up this week are hilarious and deserving of your time.
From a stinking man who can only speak in scat, to a sweet looking teenager with a pension for removing organs from her dying victims, these books will make you laugh until your pit-bull explodes.
The concept is much like that most missed of shows, Mystery Science Theater 3000: The writers took old romance books, erased the words in the balloons and rewrote. What came out was nothing short of magic.
Of course like anything of this sort, these stories can get a little long winded, and the fact that they are so ridiculous can leave you a bit distracted, but you can lay them down, and come back to them later to find some new pocket of hilarity. You can’t lose with these books, except monetarily, so what’s stopping you? Poverty?
