- Promotional Comics are rarely good. Maybe it's because they're designed just to sell something or maybe the creative team rarely cares about the job. Here are five examples that are especially bad, from Avengers to Batman to X-Men to eBay.

Folks, you’re mentioning so many amazing comics. Remember that I have the Comic Tropes Crappy Comics Contest happening now. Watch the video a few weeks back about Marvel’s toilet paper comic for details!
We all know Batman used the bat-credit card to pay for Onstar
The Onstar comic was given to the kids of someone who bought Onstar. They had a whole batman gift bag for your kids.
I think one of the worst promotional comics Ive read is a Fantastic Four shilling Office Depot. Some of the highlights include Dr. Doom "brain draining" a bunch of middle schoolers, the day being saved by a rubber band ball, and characters talking about how great Office Depots supplies are.
Did you really say ebay is on the way out??? Did you say that as a joke or are you serious? You seriously think eBay which had billions of dollars of sales last year is on the way out? Ah, no one considers ebay on the way out so no dude, no one would agree.
Captain citrus is the most powerful character in the marvel universe i cannot wait for his appearance in the mcu
It's more likely the X-Men killed him. Wolverine has his claws popped, so he's got him impaled through the spine. Since he just vanishes, I'm assuming Cyclops gave him a full-power blast and disintegrated him as he lay paralyzed and dying.
Your intros crack me up every time.
I wouldn't say eBay is irrelevant. A lot of the way it works isn't avaliable on things such as Amazon and a lot of people still use it. Because of the individual sellers listing items it makes it a whole lot more reliable when buying. (so long as it's not a stock photo or what not.) Of course you can still get scammed, but at least it feels more personal when buying. Also, you can sometimes find a rare item unknowingly listed for a cheap price, which wouldn't occur on Amazon. I suppose OfferUp and others exist, but they're like Craigslist in being local.
The one that always stood out to me was Avengers - Ultron Quest. By its title, you might not realize it was a promotional comic, but then you see the brought to you by Wyndham Hotels in the corner. Ultron is about to repair himself after uploading his mind elsewhere because comic, but Jarvis only could narrow the exact point he's at to four different locations. Black Widow is confused about the fact that they're a team and can just split up, asking how they can possibly be in four places at once. Tony Stark, richest man in the Marvel universe, ends up showcasing Mr. Krabs level cheapness. His suggestion: Why, book a hotel room, of course! Not through Tony's dime, however, that's waaaayyyy too expensive for a man like Stark. Nope, he lets the Avengers graciously use his Wyndham Reward Points for free rooms. Because Tony is kind of an asshole.
Oh hi, you've caught me still enjoying this joke every damn time.
There was one where the justice league (or just green lantern?) teamed up with Jared from subway. That one aged poorly to say the least
They should have had A.I.M. and M.O.D.O.K promote that Northrop comic.
I was going to mention the Superman comic "The Computers That Saved Metropolis" from Radio Shack. Looking it up, I discovered that it had two sequels. Unbelievable.
I think maybe one could make a moderately acceptable story where a captain Citrus would heal scurvy and improve people's immune system somewhat. Perhaps against a Skrull flu or something.
holycrap. I was surfing through your channel looking for a new one to watch and then boom a new video comes down from the heavens.
I have a promotional Supergirl comic from Honda, that promotes seat belt safety and the Radio Shack Superman issue for the Tandy computer.
I remember there being a Daredevil comic book that promoted safety towards gasoline, and it involved the titular hero fighting a villainous gas vapor named Vapora.
Man I'm here at work killing time on the graveyard shift and just bored out of my mind and then this notification pops up and I just appreciate your videos a lot Chris. Thanks for making my night better.
Northop grumman/Avenger promotion comic seems the most insidious
