Why this must be read: First, because it's frigging hilarious. Second, because it accurately skewers the absurdities of comic book universes in general, and the Marvel universe in particular. I'm a sucker for a good satire and this is an excellent example, as well as providing a fun glimpse inside the head of perenially mistreated mutant Alex Summers.
"Hank? That you? It's Alex Summers."
"Of course it's really me. Magically Undead Summers and all that. I'm getting pretty good at it, too, if I don't say so myself."
"Umm... honestly, I really don't know. I'm still working on the 'how' part. And to be brutally truthful, the 'how' is proving a lot less interesting then figuring out a way to pop between realities with things like real clothes and money. It's real hard to panhandle for money to use on the payphone when you're in a slightly tattered costume. Even if it's a nicer version than the one I left this time with."
