The Guardians of the Globe Get Silly With Spawn

While yesterday's "Avengers" marketing parody by Image comics seemed rooted in at least a dash of seriousness with a feasible shot of Invincible seemingly announcing his spot on The Guardians of the Globe's new team book launching in August, the publisher's newest unveiling calls everything into question.

Spawn and Invincible have crossed paths before, albeit briefly in massive battles and given how loosely Image's superhero continuity works together (each universe is basically entirely its own), I guess Spawn joining the GotG isn't 100 percent impossible. Nah, this has to be a joke. I mean, Spawn creator Todd McFarlane could never lose a bet to Robert Kirkman...unless, of course, they were playing Sleepwalker trivia or something...

With so much lampooning going on, now it's less clear if "Guardians of the Globe" is even an actual series with an actual August launch date. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what the rest of the week brings before we make an official call.
