Comedy Central takes on comics news

It’s looking like they’re putting the comics back into Comedy Central this week — Marvel Comics, that is. Last night, Jon Stewart talked with Project Runway’s Tim Gunn, moving at one point to discuss his guest appearance in Marvel’s Models, Inc.:

But this is only one half of Comedy Central’s Dynamic Duo — Stephen Colbert also railed against what he considered an unholy marriage: Archie Andrews and Veronica Lodge:

Of course, this isn’t the first time that Stephen has talked comics before — he is the proud owner of Steve Rogers’ Captain America shield, after chatting it up with Joe Quesada. Furthermore, before President Obama began sweeping the comics industry, Stephen even had a cameo in Amazing Spider-Man as a presidential candidate. What do you think about all this?

    I really miss watching those guys online, especially Colbert. Damn you international broadcasting restrictions. Funny stuff as always.

  2. Don MacPherson Says:

    I remain puzzled over Colbert’s failure to mention the Stephen Colbert’s Tek Jansen comic book (and now in a hardcover collected edition) even once on his show.

  3. Alexa Says:

    Yeah, I’m with Don. I thought for sure once a trade was out he’d bring it up. Instead he talks about Archie marrying Veronica.
