Yeah, that’s right. Part 1. This is such an in depth topic that it’s getting a sequel.

Everyone has a fictional character they’d bang, whether it’s someone from a movie, a comic, or a car insurance company. So the Geekscape staff put together their top 5 lists, High Fidelity style. We even got The Devastator’s Geoffrey Golden in on the action!

Molly ‘Mayhem’ Mahan

Rambo: I actually poised a similar question to my mother the other day (we have that kind of relationship), only it was “Rocky or Rambo?” She went with Rocky and I couldn’t disagree more. While I do love the Italian Stallion, few things get me going more than a man who knows how to wield a bow (It’s the Dinah Lance in me). I remember watching the fourth one (yes, with Old Man Stallone) and the minute he whipped out the compound bow and started laying waste to the enemy, I melted. Additionally, he’s a soldier who disdains the government and authority, but still accepts (or at least performs) his mission, meaning he knows how to follow orders even if he thinks it’s a little weird and will go out of his way to perform. Hardly sounds expendable in the bedroom to me, amiright? And don’t tell me that guy isn’t in some serious need of sexual healing. Bow chicka bow wow.

Ares, God of War: As played by the late-great Kevin Tod Smith on Hercules and Xena: Warrior Princess (did you seriously think you’d get away with me not talking about Xena?). Though a complete and utter asshole on Herc, when the God of War showed up on Xena he was still a bastard, but a lovable one at that. I watched this show during my formative years, so the heat and passion between the two was always something I wanted for
myself, and at times seemed like the ideal. And he could be as sweet as a teddy bear at times, too, so he wasn’t all bad. I watched the show religiously during my formative years, so Ares became without a doubt the embodiment of what I found (and still find) sexy.

Tyrion Lannister: All the other fangirls can have their Jon Snows and Jaime Lannisters, I’ll go with the half-man who has proven time and time again that he knows what to do with a woman. Bonus: he doesn’t feel bad about it nor have incestuous leanings. That clever
tongue of his ain’t half bad either.

Jason Todd: Pre-boot, post-resurrection, and in the Hush black leather costume, please. The man’s got daddy issues, has died and come back, and is hell bent for vengeance. Don’t even try to tell me the sex wouldn’t be crazy awesome. Also, I think that random which patch of hair he had in that costume was cool, I don’t care how little sense it made, it was a neat aesthetic. Plus, banging one of the Robins (especially the one that has been the source of such angst in Bat-lore) just feels so awesomely perverse, I can’t help it.

Saotome Ranma from Ranma 1/2: Although a dude, he can change into a girl when hit with cold water. That must be experienced. Preferably by me.

Looking back on this collection, I realize that I may have some anger issues.

Dave Biscella

Dagger: I’m one of the few that LOVE Cloak & Dagger, so I figure that will give me an in. Plus I could use the line, ‘My addiction to you is one addiction you can’t cure.’

Ariel: She’s clearly pretty confident based on the way she dresses. She’s got beautiful red hair and a nice singing voice. Also, always wet.

Harley Quinn: It’d be like hooking up with a hot Juggalette without having to listen to ICP blare in the background.

Tinkerbell: Petite. Blonde. Looks good in green. Can fly. Can’t talk. Perfect mate.

Ryan Gosling in Drive: He won’t let anybody hurt me.

Ben Dunn

Mystique: The only correct answer to the “Which Fictional Character Would You Bang” question is Mystique. I include all incarnations of this blue skinned she-devil. Movies, comics, video games. The reason being that she can fulfill any sexual fantasy you have. Want to bang Kate Upton? Scarlett Johannson? Ros from Game of Thrones? She can be all of those! You would never have to look elsewhere again.

Echo (Dollhouse): Same reason as Mystique, only she gets to keep Eliza’s amazing body.

Jess (New Girl): Not only is she hot like Zooey Deschanel, but she’s super adorkable! Plus, it seems like she is up for whatever. Definitely couldn’t take her after a few days, so this would probably have to be a one nighter.

Alishia Bailey (Misfits): Her super power seems a bit redundant really, a super hot chick who’s power is to make you want to have sex with her? It’s like a delicious cake having the power to make you want to eat it. Stupid. That being said, I don’t care if I don’t remember it afterward, would still bang.

Thorn (Bone): She has curves in all the right places. Plus she hangs out with a bunch of white Smurf rip-offs, so I would probably be HUGE by comparison!

Editor’s Note: Matt Kelley has called shenanigans on Ben, citing the ‘wishing for infinite wishes’ rule for naming Mystique. This brings up a lot of ethical issues: what do you think, readers?

Eric Diaz

Will Hunting: The titular character of Gus Van Sant’s movie Good Will Hunting, and probably actor Matt Damon’s breakout role. Will Hunting is a rough around the edges, smart ass blue collar type, who is secretly hiding a genius level brain and a sensitive soul. Combined with Damon’s then baby face, floppy blonde hair and lips that look like they were put on this Earth to do one thing, it is all pretty much my own personal form of kryptonite.

Audrey Horne: For twenty years now, Sherilyn Fenn’s portrayal of Twin Peak’s black haired sex kitten in saddle shoes and pleated skirts Audrey Horne has been my go to answer for “if you had to go hetero for one night, who would it be?” My answer will always remain Audrey. Either sultrily smoking cigarettes in high school bathrooms, rolling her eyes at those around her and their small town ways, or causing trouble by going undercover in Canadian brothels, Audrey was always the very definition of sex bomb to
me. It is also possible I really just want to BE Audrey more than bang Audrey…. And that’s not a crime.

The Vampire Lestat: Possibly my favorite fictional character period, Anne Rice’s vampire protagonist is tall, blonde, and kind of a prick (all weaknesses of mine with men) but ultimately a noble soul when it counts. Ya know, except for the whole killing people thing. Instead of brooding about his vampiric condition, he mostly enjoys it and loves all the sensual new pleasures it brings him. Lestat is the prototype for vampires like Spike on Buffy and Eric Northman on True Blood. Although portrayed on screen twice-first by Tom Cruise in an admirable attempt, and later by Stuart Townsend in a movie I’d burn every reel of if I could, neither could come close to evoking the novel’s version of Lestat’s
ambiguous omni-sexual nature. It remains the novel version alone that really gets my juices flowing.

Aquaman: I’m talking classic Aquaman, with the orange shirt, clean shaven face, with the short hair and the big trident (the hippie look Aquaman was a big turn off. I hate long hair on guys most of the time). Why Aquaman? Why not? He’s muscular, super strong and rules 75% of the Earth. Also, he’s tall and blonde, and that’s been my type since I first saw Sam J. Jones in Flash Gordon as a young kid, and got excited for the first time down there. I should mention that runner up in the comic book category has gotta be Dick Grayson/Nightwing. I mean, he’s an acrobat. Do the math.

Chris Evans as Captain America: I’ve never been all that crazy about Cap in the comics, at least not enough to get turned on by him, by Chris Evans’ portrayal of the aw-shucks do gooder with a heart of gold trapped in a little guy’s scrawny body, who then gets turned into sex on a stick gets me going every damn time. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve paused that Blu ray in the scene where he emerges from the super soldier transformation all shirtless and sweaty and hot and…yeah, I’d better stop now. I will
admit, this entry is 50% “omg I really want have sex with Chris Evans” so I don’t know how much of that is him being Cap or not, but I figure I’d get less flack if I posted Chris Evans as Cap and not Chris Evans as Johnny Storm. Who I would also happily have sex with.

Special Guest Geoffrey Golden: A Girlfriend Approved Sex List

Let me preface this by saying that Amanda, my girlfriend and co-founder of our comedy magazine The Devastator, is not looking over my shoulder as I write this.

The only fictional characters I want to have sex with are ones that won’t make my beautiful, amazing girlfriend jealous. For example, Rosie the Robot from The Jetsons, a robot and not even a particularly attractive one at that (like, say, Lisa from Weird Science, who I definitely never fantasized about every day of 8th grade). Another robot I’d have sex with is Dot Matrix from Spaceballs, voiced by Joan Rivers, a trailblazing comedienne whose work I greatly respect.

Other characters I’d have sex with: Princess Fiona from Shrek, but only in ogre form, because I value inner beauty over outer beauty; the Librarian Ghost from Ghostbusters, assuming the physical contact we could make would be largely unpleasant; finally, Gaia from Captain Planet, who – according to Amanda – would be like having sex with a faint breeze. You know what, I’ll take it! On a related subject, do they make Captain Planet cockrings?

Some women do not want to read the phrase “Captain Planet cockrings” on a computer monitor.

Our culturally significant world changing discussion on cartoons we’d eff continues next week! BE THERE!

The Devastator is a humor book harkening back to the days of National Lampoon and MAD Magazine. Founded in 2009 by Geoffrey Golden and Amanda Meadows, two comedy writer-editors from Los Angeles the quarterly published indie book features a mix of upcoming and renowned writers and artists from The Daily Show, Marvel and DC, and Adult Swim, as well as cartoons, essays, and cock blocking wizards!

Geekscape sat down with Amanda and Geoffrey Matrix style (inside a group g-chat window) to talk about the origins of the book, their current Fantasy issue, and the long standing war between print and internet comedy that we made up for the purposes of this interview.

Amanda: I was obsessed with print books and magazines and a kid. I was the kid who everyone took their essays to edit before turning them into the mean teacher. As I got older I got more and more into comedy nerdom, and knew I wanted to write my goal was to travel a lot and work for a magazine or publisher. I studied English Lit in college and moved to LA to work for a publisher, Phoenix Books (now defunct, but at the time they were the #1 fastest growing indie publisher). I had written for College Humor and McSweeney’s here and there, and comedy.com for a bit. Then Geoff and I, in December ’09, burned out on the internet comedy cycle, thought about bringing back humor in print!

Geoffrey: I’ve been writing comedy from a very early age, sometimes to the detriment of my grade point average. I wrote a humor column for the school newspaper, which I’m sure is very embarrassing.

Geekscape: We’re high school newspaper column brothers!

Amanda: Oh yeah! I did some newspaper shiz too. Nerd club 4 lyfe

Geekscape: Loser High School Newspaper Trio engage!

Geoffrey: ACTIVATE FORCE SHIELDS!

Amanda: I am picturing this as a very shitty anime.

Geoffrey: My influences were pretty much the same as Amanda’s – I read a lot of X-Men, National Lampoon, The Onion – we both love classic Simpsons. I was also into old radio guys like Bob & Ray, Stan Freberg and stand-ups like Bob Newhart, along with The Muppets, which puts me into a very weird category of geekdom even within “Comedy Nerd” After graduating from Emerson College, I got my first job as an Associate Editor for National Lampoon’s website. I’ve been writing and producing internet humor professionally for 10 years now, writing comics, articles, web series and more for Fox, Warner Bros, Cracked and currently I’m a freelance comedy writer for CraveOnline.

Geekscape: Amanda mentioned the ‘internet comedy cycle,’ was there a driving force that made you guys want to put together a physical product as opposed to ‘it’s a blog and sometimes it’s videos!’

Geoffrey: We love print! We think there’s a certain type of humor, this mix of satirical prose and comics that works really well in print. Plus it’s rewarding having a bookshelf full of your work, as opposed to a folder in a hard drive

Amanda: Exactly.  The tangible experience of reading can’t really be replaced. Also, I think the immediacy of internet humor is really fun but it sort of lacks perspective. The fact that we have to really take our time to craft our work focuses us.

Geekscape: Internet humor seems to have a limited shelf life, too.

Geoffrey: That’s because the most clear-cut path to getting attention is to make videos based on things users will be searching for.

Amanda: It’s great to know that once something crazy happens, a million people are going to make fun of it, but yes, stories get old fast. There can be an ambulance chaser quality to some of the broadest internet humor.

Geoffrey: Who’s gonna be the first to make fun of that thing kim kardashian said?! Will it be YOU, Geekscape?

Geekscape: Glendale! Mayor! Something something large ass!

Geoffrey: One million views!

Geekscape: I would definitely place Devastator in the DIY ‘comedy nerd’ movement that’s happening now, but I think it’s cool that you guys have gone old school with print instead of, say, a podcast. Has there been a good response to the book or are a lot of people irritated that the magazine isn’t on their Kindle?

Geoffrey: Everyone is really happy this is a print book. We have a very small group of people who digitally subscribed and we mail those people PDFs. The vast majority are like us, who love comedy in print and want to support that but we offer the option, because… y’know, the future?

Geekscape: I didn’t realize you offered both options. That’s interesting that the print is favored, especially in an age where even most comic publishers are starting to focus on digital subscriptions.

Geoffrey: I think it’s because a lot of our subscribers meet us at comic book shows. When they see the print book, that’s what they really want and connect with. they hold it and want to snuggle with it at night. The covers are surprisingly soft!

Geekscape: Devastator: the anime body pillow of comedy.

Amanda: That is the most perfect slogan ever.

Geekscape: This interview has not been a waste! What’s the format of the book like?

Amanda: Well, it’s a mixed format book – a blend of short comics, and written pieces with artwork. You can jump from a comic to a prose novel parody to an infographic.

Geoffrey: A reviewer once described our content as the onion meets a vintage t-shirt shop. You’ll see a lot of retro pop culture parodies.

Geekscape: And you guys have a pretty awesome lineup of writers writing those parodies.

Amanda: Thank you! We mix together all kinds of up-and-coming talented writers with artists, and some brilliant cartoonists.

Geoffrey: Writers and artists from The Daily Show, The Onion, Adult Swim, Marvel, DC Comics and more!

Geekscape: Any personal favorite material so far?

Geoffrey: From the fantasy issue, I love ‘Rat Knights of Rat’s Hollow’, a Mouseguard parody written by contributing editor John Ford and illustrated by Mouseguard artist Nate Pride.

Geekscape: Holy shit that sounds amazing.

Amanda: It LOOKS amazing too!

Geoffrey: Marvel Brand Management vs. Capcom Legal Affairs in D#4…

Amanda: I really love Ryan Sandoval and Lili Sparks’ The Arcade Hire in D#4, an employee handbook for possibly the world’s sketchiest arcade.

Geoffrey: Cathair Apocalypse, Hold Me Closer Charming Cat-Man, and Cat on a Hot Tin Plate in D#3.

Amanda: And everything R. Sikoryak has done for us, in issues 1, 2, and 3.

Geekscape: The new issue is FANTASY. Sell it!

Amanda: So you’ve got the best of the best in this one. It’s our most ambitious issue yet!

Geoffrey: This issue is the stuff of legends.

Amanda: Our cover: drawn by the illustrator laureate of the interwebs, Dan Hipp (MISTERHIPP).We have an original comic from Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal’s Zach Weiner and Tony Millionaire exclusive artwork! One of Funny or Die’s best, Scott Gairdner, does a piece that will explode your face with hilarity.

Geoffrey: We riff on Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Final Fantasy…

Amanda: And Geoff, tell ’em about the reverse book!

Geoffrey: And the reverse book is a playable Dungeons and Dragons parody called “Wizards of Cockblock Forest” In order to become the most powerful wizard in Cockblock Forest – which is a lot like Brooklyn or Echo Park, only magical, so it’s not that bad – you have to have sex with faeries.

Geekscape: Of course you do.

Geoffrey: But every other wizard wants to have sex with faeries too, so the competition is fierce! Can you cockblock your rivals and bed the most faeries?

Geekscape: You’ve had a really strong convention presence lately. Where will you be next?

Amanda: Well, funny you ask because we’re in a con storm right now! We just returned from Stumptown Comics Fest which was amazing! This weekend, May 5-6 we’re doing Toronto Comic Arts Fest in CANADA Exotic Canada! Then on Memorial Day Weekend its Phoenix Comic Con, which has become a huge show. We get a month off of shows in June, during which we will be doing a series of Game Night events across the LA area to play Wizards of Cockblock Forest. Then it’s San Diego Comic Con!

Devastator’s Fantasy issue is out now and you can order it HERE. Check them out online and be cool like us by making Devastator subscriptions a new all occasions gift for everyone that you know. Also, if you’re going to be at any conventions stop by and visit Geoffrey and Amanda. They’re crazy nice, have an animation cell from Samurai Pizza Cats framed on their wall, and they were in newspaper in high school, so they’re not intimidating at all.
