Powerless (2004)

Posted on by EHT Comics

A psychologist named William Watts wakes up in a hospital after a three day coma. Fresh in his mind is the world of Earth-616 which he experienced while asleep. As William returns to his mundane daily life, he encounters three familiar faces: Peter Parker, a high-school student who is pressured by Norman Osborn to conduct industrial espionage on Stark Industires; a blind lawyer Matt Murdock who battles an uphill case against the kingpin to absolve Frank Castle of murder; and an amnesiac soldier named Logan who is led to believe he murdered Charles Xavier. Inspired by Matt’s conviction, William leaves his bystander position and begins to act to help the three: he helps reveal Charles’ murder was done by a third party, citing Logan to investigate Eric Magnus; he convinces Frank Castle to reveal vital information to Matt’s case; and he acts by calling the cops to assist Peter in arresting Osborn. After Frank’s trial, the Kingpin murders Murdock. Castle assassinates Kingpin in retaliation, which places him on the road to becoming the real-life Punisher. The series ends with William contemplating how the coma has shaken him from the stupor of life, as he reflects on his coma identity as Uatu.

Posted on by EHT Comics

According to Steve Skeates, Plop! was based around a horror / humor story he wrote called “The Poster Plague”, which was published in House of Mystery.

The title initially was intended to be called Zany. A number of the one-panel cartoons published in the comic included the visible prefix ZA, in reference to the originally intended title. Sergio Aragonés credits publisher Carmine Infantino with coming up with the final title: “Joe Orlando and I were sitting in a restaurant talking with Carmine Infantino. They wanted a magazine that was different, something about black humor. Carmine came up with the name. We were talking about it and he said, ‘What will we call it?’ And I said, ‘We can call it anything, because if the magazine is good, then it will stay.’ And he said, ‘No, we can’t call it, for instance … PLOP!’ And I said, ‘Yes, we can.’ And so I started making sketches of things going PLOP! and they laughed and decided the name was good.
