Amusing.
I think there are too many words in that last panel to qualify it as modern age.
“Too many words”? Never read a Bendis comic?
Yeah, whereas both the top two panels really would have been accomplished by a single panel in the Golden and Silver Ages, in the last panel, it would have needed a mini-series, finally finished off a year later in a one-shot special.
But it’s still funny… because it’s true.
