3 bizarre superhero comic genre mashups

Expressionist film is incredibly high concept, and trying to mix that with the over-the-top nature of superhero characters is like trying to perform heart surgery with a chainsaw--technically possible, but you're more likely to end up with a gross mess and a mountain of lawsuits.
