This time Tim and Kumar look at two books by comics insiders that satirized the predominant comics of their respective eras:&amp;nbsp;Scott McCloud's&amp;nbsp;Destroy! The Loudest Comic-Book in the Universe!! (1986) distills '80s comics to their essence: superpowered guys punching each other; and Grant Morrison &amp;amp; a bevy of artists poke sharp satirical sticks at the comics of The Guys who Would Be Image in&amp;nbsp;Doom Force Special #1 (1992), right down to the excessive speed lines, nonsense powers, and ankles that would never support an adult human's weight.
