Android Blues posted:Yeah, the black bodysuit looked really synthetic. Ivy covering up is an interesting choice that I'd like to see explored more, but it seems weird that she'd put on a sort of secret agent/tech villain-looking outfit to do it. Like, her using a leaf pattern instead of real leaves is very odd. Maybe it's some kind of alien plant, like a vegetable version of Venom. HitTheTargets posted:

I like the green skin as a visual clue that Ivy sees herself closer to plants than to humans.

If she has green skin people will clearly confuse her with Gamora/She-Hulk/generic green lady.

Just like with every other super hero costume. The 90s animated series version is still the best:

Easy, folks. Racism is the new topic. Gene Luen is re-introducing the yellow peril from the cover of Detective Comics #1 in New Super-Man.   https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...m=.9ed3fffa956f quote:When originally offered the chance to write a new, Chinese Superman for DC Comics, writer and MacArthur “genius grant” recipient Gene Luen Yang turned down the opportunity because he felt the series could be a “cultural and political land mine.”

I might start actually reading New Super Man now. I like writers who have the balls to tackle these things rather than run away and hide from a company's history (yea I'm looking at you Disney) Props to them for not trying to modernize the character or do it in a weird ironic manner like they did with egg fu in 52.

That's a fine post  It's a shame that you didn't read it already cause it's just a fun comic book, but they are advertising this to get people interested, and it is real bold and interesting.For Disney, I would say Iron Man 3 did something interesting in pretty much destroying The Mandarin as a legitimate modern character. Now, in the new Ducktales cartoon, if Donald acknowledged his role in racist wartime propaganda, that'd be tight. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 06:21 on Feb 8, 2017 |

I have vast problems with the new Snagglepuss thing. Why the gently caress are spies after him? Why does m15 or whatever want with a old gay pink mountain lion? Did David Cameron gently caress him too and they want to bury the fact the pig fucker is also a furry? I wish I was making this up but what the loving hell? Like dropping the thin subtext makes total sense, even if part of the fun of the character was how thin that line between subtext and text was, but the dumb thriller espionage elements just reeks of modern bullshit editorial making. Can't there just be a loving funny book does everything have to have a serious or very defined parameter? Do executives really think there is a possible film franchise to be milked of all goes well of Snagglepuss commenting on the Bond films?

Teenage Fansub posted:Boy. You can tell a lot from one preview page. That's impressive. It's from the history of the HB line and the blurb they put up. With Flintstones, it made sense because it was always a modern sitcom. Modern sitcoms have gotten more serious. For the rest of the line these decisions don't make sense and just seem weird and off putting ways to making poo poo hip and sexy. I have similar thoughts on Riverdale. Why the gently caress does there need to be a Dark and Serious Archie?

to give more context to Ching Lung's return; Chinese Super-Man Rights Wrong Dating Back To 1937   Why is the Chinese Superman getting a villain who’s a Chinese stereotype? It’s all part of a plan. looks to me like things are getting rather Hypercrisis in here

I really like New Super Man and all the characters that have been introduced in it, definitely the surprise stand-out of the Superman Family line. The sales numbers are getting pretty sad though so I'm not sure it's long for the world, I hope he sticks around in some capacity even if the book comes to an end.

Just a reminder to anyone who might be worried about how Yang might handle this, please read American born Chinese, or if you want a more superhero feel read the The Shadow Hero which is reimagining of the first Chinese superhero in American comics.

Teenage Fansub posted:Because it's funny that way. Incongruity is great. Riverdale is pretty firmly Not My Thing just based on the TV genres they're working in, but "ha ha, it's Archie but everyone is divorced! Miss Grundy is a sexual predator!" is not like, good or funny as a thing unto itself. Again, I don't think I'm equipped to judge how well Archie stacks up to I don't even know, Melrose Place? Pretty Little Liars? Desperate Housewives? because that's not something I watch. Though to bring it back to comics and bad "Incongruity" I assume I'm still the only one who read Joe "I've Never Met a Pair of Sunglasses or Faux-Edgy Thing I Didn't Love" Casey's Automatic Kafka where he spent like the better part of a an issue doing this big long "Charlie Brown is a middle aged suicidal cuckold and Linus had a panic attack and murdered Snoopy so no one talks about him but when Lucy gets real pilled up she blurts poo poo out about Linus and Schroeder bludgeons her with a bust of Beethoven and I dunno, maybe Sally is a prostitute and a murder suspect" that was meant to be a parable about how work for hire is so sad and bad and even when Charles Schulz is gone some hack will take over Peanuts and run it forever and ever and ever. I guess what I'm saying is "ha ha, INCONGRUITY" is just kind of dumb if there's no point to it, but it's extra dumb when someone tries to make a point with it and fails spectacularly. And yeah, Gene Yang is super cool. It's American Born Chinese though! Unless the logo works like R.E.M.'s Fables of the Reconstruction of the Fables of the Reconstruction of the Fables of the etc, which it may well do.

I'm in my 30's and haven't watched a soap since Dawson's. The 'This is Archie?!' aspect is there. It's a fun flavor for the show (just like in that horror comic line they do,) but it works for it's self, which is why it's good (just like with that horror comic line they do.) Very sorry for not being clear that incongruity doesn't work in 100% of cases. I would like to avoid your wrath if possible. But I think weird ideas work out well often enough that it's silly to get as worked up as that guy in the face of it. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 22:20 on Feb 8, 2017 |

So getting back to the Justice Lord Superman from a few pages ago. Was that ever confirmed as actually happening? Because the comic panel that someone posted was from a Justice League Beyond issue.
