Yes, but Tony Stark is an idiot. I mean seriously, how badly do you have to gently caress up that people think the Green Goblin is a better choice for your job? Tony Stark believing a thing is almost proof of it being a bad idea. Maybe if it's like his third idea down he'll finally start to be correct. Like if he was a theist, then agnostic, then flat out atheist? Maybe. As that's not it, "Tony Stark: Atheist" is basically a giant neon sign saying "Atheists are terrible". Like every super scientist in the setting he's a B-List Reed Richards. Reed Richard's best friend dies, he doesn't secular humanist him back to life. He goes to heaven and he finds his loving buddy's soul, then he talks to God and has that poo poo cleared up. If heaven is good enough for Reed Richards, it's good enough for me

Wanderer posted:You know what was kind of weird, is that four years ago or so I erased the dialogue from that page so we could photoshop it in the "Ruin the Moment" thread, and last week somebody on my Facebook feed posted one of the photoshops ("You know who fucks real good? Redheads."). At least one of those has a/descended to "meme" status. Neat. That's the one I did. Though I think Gavok did the better one, turning it into a gangsta rap.

Is Megaman worth picking up or is this a "these are all the best panels don't bother" situation? I'm halfway sold just by the block joke (because seriously smashpro is right, gently caress those blocks). VV Cheers guys, good advice. Pierson fucked around with this message at 01:16 on Jun 17, 2013 |

I'm halfway sold just by the block joke (because seriously smashpro is right, gently caress those blocks). Definitely the latter, in my opinion. There's an obvious passion for the source material and the art tends to be good, but it's not very well paced or as funny as it thinks it is, and it has a lot of the problems the Archie Sonic comics have never been able to rid themselves of. You could do worse, I suppose, but they're not very good.

I'm halfway sold just by the block joke (because seriously smashpro is right, gently caress those blocks). It's worth it if you temper your expectations. It's completely ridiculous in every way, and it's aimed at kids...but you can see the creators really care about the source material and they come up with clever ways to make it work.

Pierson posted:Is Megaman worth picking up or is this a "these are all the best panels don't bother" situation? I'm halfway sold just by the block joke (because seriously smashpro is right, gently caress those blocks). It's one of my favorite comics on the stands right now. While not as good, it tries to fill the void in my heart left by the cancellation of Darkwing Duck. The current arc, while fun in itself, is a little problematic and confusing because Sonic has years of in-game and comic continuity to base itself off of while Mega Man has years of in-game continuity and barely anything from the comics. The comic's been taking its time to the extent that right before the Sonic crossover started, they were only just beginning Mega Man 3's story. So they had to come up with a plot device that changes reality so that all the Mega Man games have pretty much happened, Mega Man knows who Proto Man is and Bass exists. But really, it's a fun series.

Now that's confidence for you, Plant-Man was so sure he'd get away that he arranged for a florist to deliver a taunting message to Spider-Man and Power Man. His face would have been red if they'd caught him, dragged him outside and found the delivery man waiting. "Oh yeah, that... I kinda thought things would go differently...

SynthOrange posted:Bluuuurgh. Why would you even write that. What the gently caress does it even bring to the table? The ONLY thing I can think of with making mutants immune to AIDS is if you wanted to do a story about how mutants are so genetically different than baseline humans that there are a number of 'human' diseases can't cross over into the mutant population, that the X-gene somehow makes it impossible for HIV to replicate in mutant cells. Which would likely be a stronger argument if we made more a point about differences at a genetic level between humans and mutants. For a long time, mutants were supposedly the only ones that could catch Legacy, for example, too, marking it a virus that humans were immune to as a counterpoint that there may be a number of potential diseases out there that mutants can catch that humans typically would be immune to. However, with Legacy being an engineered disease that itself mutated to crossover to the human population, that's up for debate... Back in the 90s when Namorita went through her blue era, the legend was that writer's original plan was that she was supposed to have been infected with presumably HIV that caused her genetics to change after an implied sexual encounter, but that was later changed to something else like being a clone causing the change.

Jerusalem posted:Speaking of red faces: Taskmaster is the best. Further evidence:  (from the Huston/Finch Moon Knight relaunch, #4) This got a reference later in UMvC3. The fun's not just limited to this page, it's a great scene overall; the villainous group du jour has a helicopter outside delivering a villainous speech, but Taskmaster just talks over them (his word bubbles are crowding theirs out of the panel once or twice), berating Moon Knight for his fighting style and complaining that he's involuntarily absorbing a terrible moveset by fighting him.

Are we talking about how Taskmaster is the best? Because he's totally the best.  (Secret Avengers #2) Seriously I hope they never, ever ruin him by making him deadly serious or whatever. Even his appearance in Thunderbolts, Siege and whatnot ended up being hilarious because of his awesome superpower of getting the gently caress outta dodge whenever things look bad.

Taskmaster in Osobrne's little cabal was a really interesting take on the character. Sure, he's a 'bad guy' but he just wants a nice slice of the cake, not to destroy the goddamn world. He was so far out of his depth that he couldn't even see the surface.
