* ''[[Y: theThe Last Man]]'' has two issues that focus on a theatre group trying to make [[True Art Is Angsty|important work]] about the post-[[Gendercide]] world. Their first effort is not received well. Later they try films [[Who Would Want to Watch Us?|and comics]]. Also, a supermodel whose profession is obsolete and is now clearing bodies (a minor character from early in the story) gets a issue later on.
* [[Peter David]], fed up with the [[Wolverine Publicity]] that drives the X-Men franchise, once wrote an issue in his ''[[X-Factor (Comic Bookcomics)|X-Factor]]'' featuring none of the usual cast, instead focusing on popular characters like Wolverine and Cable.
** In a similar vein, Walt Simonson wrote a three-issue ''[[Fantastic Four]]'' arc(with art by Arthur Adams) in which the FF are temporarily replaced by the four most over-exposed(during the 90s) characters in the MU: [[Wolverine]], [[Hulk]](during his gray-skinned Mr. Fixit phase), [[Spider -Man]] and [[Ghost Rider]].
* The classic [[X-Men (Comic Book)|Uncanny X-Men]] story ''Kitty's Fairy Tale''. The cover even featured Kitty Pryde announcing, "And now for something completely different!"
* ''[[Strangers in Paradise]]'' had a [[Superhero Episode]], as well as a send-up of ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess]]'', after it was pointed out by fans that Francine and Katchoo resembled Xena and Gabrielle. (Katchoo was less than thrilled to wind up as Gabrielle.)
