C'mon. It's at least gotta get you reminded about Jeff Goldblum dissolving a guy's arm with fly puke. That's a good time.

All that reminds me of is the abortion that was Infinite Crisis #4, and its much better sibling Edited Crisis #4. Poor poor Risk.  Otherwise known as One Arm McGee.

I'm more reminded of the scene from Speeding Bullets where Bruce (the Waynes' adopted son after finding the crashed rocket) no-sells getting shot up by Joe Chill and angrily fries him with his heat vision.

His boyfriend of five issues just turned out to be Prometheus, which is a bit of a bummer to say the least! but he seemed to take it in stride. He's a well adjusted, pragmatic psycho killer. It's a great comic.

Dario the Wop posted:To be fair, that was part of a story arc where Hawkman was isolating himself, becoming too extreme in his methods, and ends up getting kicked out of the JSA. Cutting off Matter Master's arm was a big deal at the time, the JSA were horrified. I know, but I'm just wondering if that's the moment Geoff Johns wrote, "Hawkman throws his axe and cuts off Matter Master's arm," then thought, "That was awesome! I've got to do that again!"

Geoff Johns just isn't sensitive to that kind of violence. Rucka asked him about it during 52, and Johns just said he grew up on Mortal Kombat and didn't see the problem. It doesn't bother me either. He puts too much heart into his writing to accuse him of making gore porn.

You also don't need to accuse him, he just does. If he had any interest in indie comics he could write the next Walking Dead

Not being sensitive to it doesn't mean it isn't. That is literally Mortal Kombat's selling point. Like are you seriously going to argue that the Mortal Kombat guys don't put their heart into that game and also create horrific displays of violence for the sake of violence?

Die Laughing posted:He puts too much heart into his writing to accuse him of making gore porn. If that was an attempt at a pun, I feel as if I have to respect it. I fell off the Geoff Johns train in a hurry because of his gore-porn tendencies, and how badly they clash with the Silver Age feel of the rest of his work. His Flash has a fair few scenes where he'd be contrasting Wally and Linda's marital woes with a side plot in which a serial killer was stabbing people to death, and his JSA in volume 2 features a team of throwback Nazis blending children to death while Cyclone does her best to find a new cute costume. Somebody needs to slow Johns's roll down.

Vaughn for writing that Millar/Miller-wannabe page. Discendo Vox posted:Also, what's with prominent comics writers all looking like arch-redditors? Ignoring the dumb of "arch-redditor" it's because people tend to look like people down through the generations, and as has been observed on this very website "If Pink Floyd were born in the 80s/90s they would never have been Pink Floyd, they'd have just been whiny dorks with a blog."

Well, I don't object to comics with violence but I guess with Johns it can sometimes (not always, certainly) come off as a bit try-hard ("Look at how grown-up these comics are!") in my view. Still, I suppose there's not really any harm in that.  Not quite as bad as Robert Kirkman doing Invincible, of course (though there it's often so over-the-top and ridiculously violent that it loops round and becomes absurd).
