Maybe we’ve gotten a bit possessive, but we hate to fathom Baby Cakes and the Professor Brothers involved in some kind of hyped-up cock fight or whatever.
So, who are the heartless bastards that came up with this crudely drawn competition between Brad Neely’s creations? Brad Neely and his friends.
Recently, when we were forcing Brad to do director’s commentary for our Inside The Artist series, he told us about how he and a former co-worker used to while away the workday coming up with fantasy face-offs between various comic book heroes. They’d end up drawing boxing poster-style pictures of the opposing characters, and then signing off on which one they’d pick to win the fight. Other friends of theirs joined in, and it soon became a blog called Versus.
The site is a treasure of trove of absurdist inside jokes. Many of the proposed fights involve super heroes…
…but there’s also matches between musicians and movie characters…
…as well as historical figures and forces of nature.
(We couldn’t help but notice that Brad always seems to pick whatever character is on the left side of the fight bill. Hmmm.)

Justice League over Defenders my ass!
Sure the Defenders are lame as shit, but Silver Surfer has the power cosmic! And Hulk smash!
Also, Superman is a little bitch when it comes to magic, so Dr. Strange would kick his ass.
Gosh.
