The Introduction of Great Importance

Quick note: There is some light-hearted spoofing on religion here. My priority is to make this as funny as possible without worrying about whether or not you, your tenuous beliefs and/or your low self-esteem are offended. And, no, I will not disclose my personal religious views. If you continue to read and are offended, let me leave you with this: I. Don't. Care. Also: I wrote this entire thing under severe influence of alcohol. So...good for me, I guess.

The Players:

• Zombie Pope - John Paul II once again walks the earth as a living dead. Who can stop Zombie Pope?
• Thor - Son of the Patriarch of the Norse gods, Thor's nasty gambling habit finally comes home to roost. (I have no idea what that metaphor means...A gambling habit roosts? How, exactly?)
• Galactus - Destroyer of worlds, he feeds on the life energy of planets. He is usually foiled by Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four via some arbitrarily introduced plot device.
• Narrator - A gutless storyteller who preys on the preternatural exploits of others to win over the affections of attractive lady-types.
• Duke - Head of the G.I. Joe team. (Duh.)
• Snake Eyes - Ninja. Again, duh.
