A collection of vintage Mad material spoofing superheroes, from several generations of the Usual Gang of Idiots. Completely different from Volume 1, this covers the superhero movies and comics of the early 2000s through the dawn of the MCU. Movie parodies include the first X-Men and Spider-Man movies, Watchmen, The Dark Knight and Iron Man. Intro by Watchmen artist Dave Gibbons. Gibbons also does the cover art for a Watchmen spoof, making this some sort of meta-meta. Send-ups of superhero graphic novels, crossovers, and The Sandman. Parodies featuring the art of indie cartoonists R. Sikoryak, Ted Rall, Drew Friedman, Gary Hallgren, Peter Kuper, Johnny Ryan, and Ty Templeton, and mainstream artists Glenn Fabry, Jerry Ordway, Evan Dorkin, and Bruce Timm. Superhero-related Marginals by Sergio Aragones, Spy vs. Spy, and Sergio's versions of the Hulk, Spider-Man, and the San Diego Comic Con.
