Post Eighty-Eight: Marvel = Sparta

This is shamelessly stolen from a friend of mine. But I can't resist the comparison in light of Marvel's performance over the last year:

I'm reminded of the scene where the Persian messenger visits Leonidas in 300:

Messenger: This is madness.
Leonidas: This is Sparta!!! (then kicks messenger into a pit)

Now make the following substitutions:

1) Messenger = Comics Fan
2) Leonidas = Joe Quesadas
3) Sparta = Marvel
4) pit = pit
