The Superist

01Sep09

A popular rhetoric in comics today is the idea of no heros being around to help us take care of our woes. However what if that’s not the case. What if, and this is a BIG what if, there are exactly as many heros and villians as needed to match exactly the skills and strengths as their opponents. You know what happens? The Superist, that’s what.

The Superist is an ongoing contest; a challenge of imaginations; a gauntlet of guffaws… between comic artists Kevin Cornell and Matthew Sutter. The game is described on their website as follows:

The Superest is a continually running game of My Team, Your Team. The rules are simple:

Player 1 draws a character with a power. Player 2 then draws a character whose power cancels the power of that previous character. Repeat.

For two years now these two have been coming up with some of the wackiest, most outlandish, and sometimes the most uselessly awesome superheros that the world has ever seen. Sir(s), we salute you.
