Cyphoderus: Apr 21, 2010; I'll have you know, foxes have the finest call in nature

prefect posted:

I have not been paying sufficient attention:

In 1915, Ernest Shackleton, sent by Winston Churchill, sought out vibranium in the Antarctic. His ship, the Endurance, was lost. Later, Leonard McKenzie, with the telepath Paul Destine as a passenger, attempted to recover the Vibranium. Princess Fen was sent to investigate explosions near the surface by her father, King Thakorr. McKenzie met, fell in lovewith, and impregnated Princess Fen with the child who became Namor. Soldiers commanded by General Krang attacked McKenzie's crew. McKenzie himself did not die, though he did not recognize Namor later when he first learned of his son's rampages in New York.

I only remembered there was a sailor named MacKenzie who fell in with an Atlantean, and the sailor got attacked.

The idea that this imperious, proud ruler of the vast seas of planet Earth would use the surname of his sailor father, instead of the one of his royal lineage, is hilarious.

Speaking of Namor, early FF is amazing.

From Fantastic Four #4.

Maybe in Atlantean culture you are compelled to use the name of your father.

While the Hellraiser comic was uneven it did have some good stories using the premise. Oddly enough, Clive Barker's were the worst of the bunch.

Robot couldn't afford a giant sheet of fabric, so he quilted together a bunch of scraps he could find. Don't poorshame.

I never read Hyperkind, and I only got a few issues into Hokum and Hex mostly out of laziness, but what I did read of Razorline was pretty good. First of course there's the Harrowers spin off of Hellraiser using the characters from Clive Barker's story in the original comic, which is great because these guys are terrible at their job. Like, New Guardians level terrible. And after just a few issues up and quit. Barker himself has used the term "Harrowers" for people who fight Pinhead several times since.

Then there's Saint Sinner, totally unrelated to the syfy channel original movie some years back besides the name. In it a dude is possessed by both an angel and a demon. He initially gets thrown in alien jail and during the escape attempt he dicks over one of the prisoners just cause the devil side tells him to. But shortly after that the series gets all kinds of trippy and weird.

Ectokid is about a dude in NOLA whose father was a ghost. He wears an eyepatch and when he switches eyes for it can see and interact with the ghost world. It was pretty good, and crossed over with Saint Sinner at one point. Started out written by James Robertson, and then later the Wachowskis took over.

Hyperkind seemed dumb. Just an average "group of teens get superpowers and go up against shadowy agency" deal. Most of the characters on that poster are from that.

I should go back and read Hokum & Hex. It was really good and post modern, skewering the medium. This average schmo somehow gets powers cosmic, but his day job is as a gag style magician, so like, he fights threats with card tricks and rubber chickens. Meanwhile, there's some great ideas in there like, the earth about to be taken over by a race of religious fundamentalist missionaries that are super polite and kind to everyone, or then an intergalactic bounty hunter that's totally not Angela from Spawn that is completely inept and hopes catching the protagonist will make her finally get a real career...it's a lot of fun.

Could you provide the names for the characters in that poster, from left to right? I can pick some out, like Ectokid, but there are still too many questions.

Armata (red and gold armor), Logix (silver cape guy), Bliss (tits), Amokk (non-rear end-wiper), Ectokid (eyepatch), Saint Sinner (jacket and shades), Trip Munroe (sparkly lapels guy). Don't recognize the big yellow one.

I could be mistaken, but I think the yellow guy is the wonderfully named "Gorkill Corpus", one of those over-polite missionary alien invaders, who decides he actually thinks life on earth is pretty nifty and defects, becoming a good guy.
