Why in the gently caress is Fred serious about anything? Also why isn't he eating a giant plate of ribs the size of his house?

At the mall there is "Panda Excess" where they sell giant chunks of Panda, and Fred gets takeout. They're offering a head as a free sample.

I think people would be way more forgiving of it if it was drawn just like the Hanna Barbara version.

I love the art. I can't believe it's the guy I got pissed at for taking over N52 Animal Man from Travel Foreman (I know he had ties to the property WAY before then.)
I don't think it'd be right to ape the original art style if the point is taking it in another direction. It'd read like parody. Future Quest's art is super reverent to the source, but so is the comic.

e: Honestly, I didn't wanna dredge up some big Flintstones debate again. Thought the bond between appliance animals was sweet. That's about it.

Then the Superman they got for Supergirl was more Superman in 5 seconds than he was in 10 years.

He is, no poo poo, the best Superman since Christopher Reeves, and it's a close call. And I like Dean Cain in Lois and Clark! Hoechlin nailed it for every second he was on screen, in both personae.

It's not actually hateful if you actually read the books. There's a lot of dark stuff, but there's always something heart warming to pull it out of the dirt. The issue about consumerism ends with Wilma telling Fred she doesn't need a bunch of useless crap, and he picks up Dino after asking "What's it do?" "Nothing." "I'll take it."

The election issue has Pebbles become class president, the genocide issue has Barney adopt Bam Bam after agonizing about not being able to conceive a child, etc;

I'm kinda lukewarm on Flinstones, but I think the actual tragedy is it's resulted in people stopping talking about Future Quest, which is a beautifully bananas superhero book, featuring Mightor, Birdman, Space Ghost and the Impossibles teaming up to fight space Cthulhu.

Close, he was actually wondering "Why the punching?", right after he rolled with the punch, presumably so as not to break the dork's hand.

Nova 2

Richard Ryder has returned to earth after being dead. He is greeted with the current state of the Marvel Universe, and the fact that no one seems to have learned a loving thing




After hanging out with Sam, he decides they should go clear there head and get a drink. Only to be reminded that even if everyone on earth is a short sighted idiot who's learned nothing




It's a big universe out there, and it remembers what he did for it.

Nova #2 (Abnett & Lanning's run)



The whole issue is about Nova trying (and failing) to relax and reconnect with his family after living through hell and watching all his space friends die, then coming home to find out all his earth friends died while filming a reality TV show. Then Norman Osborn's Thunderbolts try to arrest him.

I'm about to pay money to read a series where someone with a real sense of perspective tells Tony Stark that his petty squabbles are small time poo poo and that he should build a bridge and get over it. This will be money well spent.

From Quantum and Woody Must Die #4.

Quantum and Woody can best be described as "What If Booster Gold was John Stewart's Adopted Brother?" Quantum/Eric is a straight-laced former military guy who wants to be a successful superhero and Woody is an egotistical conman who constantly fucks things up and tells him to lighten up. In this miniseries, the two become popular and Woody gets anxious because he's afraid that Quantum's happiness won't last. This becomes true when their psychiatrist helps put together a revenge squad of people wronged by them. While Quantum and Woody survive, their public image takes a massive hit and Quantum says some harsh in-the-moment poo poo to Woody about how nobody's ever truly loved him.

Hating mawkish cliches doesn't mean hating the character. Superman is just a character that can very easily fall into mawkish cliches in the hands of a mediocre writer.

By comparison, All-Star Superman actually cured the kids in a pediatric cancer ward with micronized Kryptonians and it was rad as hell.
