It's not The End, then. Maybe just a regular issue that deals with a future Galactus. I know that story exists.

It's from Marvel Adventures. Courtesy of Gavok in the touching moments thread:Gavok posted:The current goings on in Fantastic Four reminded me of Marvel Adventures Fantastic Four #48, the final issue of the series. It starts off with Galactus at the end of time with some monitors showing his first battles with the Fantastic Four while it regularly cuts to the team acting like a family together. Future Galactus calls to them and requests their help, which they grant. The universe is about to end and it's his job to move on to the next big bang. Unfortunately, there are some immortal cosmic beings out there to stop him. Galactus needs the Fantastic Four to take them out so he can continue on.

This is not the first time My Hero Academia has been posted in this thread and received a general reaction of "what is even happening" so I suspect it's a problem with the artist being bad at conveying action

I would argue it's more of a problem with context, and how posting random panels lacks it. Whenever DC or Marvel panels get posted, most people reading these threads probably have a working knowledge of most characters, how they move, their motivations and so on because it's the same characters in the same universe it's always been. If someone posted the Spider-Man vs Juggernaut fight here, most people would get it because we know their general abilities and that logically Spider-Man stands no chance, so by him rising to the occasion and actually taking Juggs on and winning we can all agree that it's pretty badass. It works for pretty much anyone in this thread because everyone has knowledge and context on Juggernaut and Spider-Man. By contrast, see how many times panels from something like Invincible or Saga gets posted in these threads, and it's immediately followed by someone asking for some context. No scene holds any impact if you don't know what it means, and most people here haven't read the 100+ chapters of Hero Academia that gives context to that scene.ecavalli posted:Yup.

I don't know much about either of those mangas, but my vote is that the one with the dragon is not good because I'm not sure what's happening, while the one with the pirate is good because I am sure what's happening.

My hero Academia is just a western cape comic filtered through Japan. One Piece is just standard Shonen. Also one actually works well on its own, while the other is just a random page torn out.

CharlestheHammer posted:My hero Academia is just a western cape comic filtered through Japan. Yeah those two don't really compare, one is 2 pages out of context, one is seven pages with context, one is at the beginning of an arc, the other is the face-off with the arc villain. Edit, neither are especially badass though. Vonnie fucked around with this message at 14:13 on May 22, 2017 |

Malachite_Dragon posted:There is literally no difference aside from art style between comics and manga. Move on. I like a lot of manga but they're produced, marketed, and consumed under very different conditions than Western comics. They also start from way diffent models of story-telling, although there's more and more fruitful and interesting cross-contamination these days. For a long-winded and meandering example of these formal differences, Western cape comics and action-oriented manga treat the space of the "fight" in disparate ways. Superhero comics tend to elide fights except for big beats, and if they run long it's as a medium for character drama. Spider-Man fights Doc Ock for eight pages so he can talk to Doc Ock for eight pages, or think about Doc Ock for eight pages, or spend eight pages thinking about ways in which his fight with Doc Ock mirrors or supplements stuff going on in his life. It's like Jacobean drama-- the fight is where catharsis happens, but most of the thing is the tension leading up to the fight or dealing with the consequences of the fight. There's the much derided convention of characters in mid-lunge delivering big chunks of exposition-- but I don't think that has to be a problem, because these fights are often just as much about character drama being expressed physically more than they are about clarity and linear continuity-- and it's often very effective. With the right artists-- John Romita Jr., Paul Smith, Byrne-- Chris Claremont's fights in Uncanny X-Men could be all-time greats, well-paced, exciting, and crisp, even while being extraordinarily talky. A big exception is Frank Miller, whose fights do tend to be more choreographed, but he, of course, was very much influenced by manga. Also Emma Rios in Pretty Deadly. Manga on the other hand is often all about breaking a fight into its minutia, tracking it beat by beat. This can lead to long, protracted, tedious fights-- a common complaint about Bleach, to name a pretty popular one-- but it can also lead to fun, operatic fights with lots of unexpected twists and turns (another really popular one-- the above-mentioned One Peace, which David Brothers has written thoughtfully about in the context of its fights, is noted for this, ditto, say, Fist of the North Star or Jojo's Bizarre Adventure), or be really strikingly choreographed and plotted out dances between the characters (here are a few good articles by the cartoonist Katie Skelly that explain this better than I can in the context of Hiroaki Samura's Blade of the Immortal. At the same time, this means that when manga does short, impressionistic fights in the Western-ish style, it still prioritizes moments and beats differently than somebody like Mark Bagley, who does great fights but coming from a much different tradition. Taiyo Matsumoto is great for this-- most of the fights in No. 5 are very short, but even when they become protracted they're done very efficiently, giving an impression of brutality and speed that really only works when you're used to the form lingering on the moment-by-moment poetics of battle scenes. One style isn't better than another. I'd rather read one Ditko Spider-Man fight than a hundred chapters of Bleach, and there are a lot of bland, garbled fights in Western comics by mediocre artists, or good artists saddled with a script that uses fights poorly. But it's silly to argue that either form is complete junk, and inaccurate to say that they're exactly the same. And more and more the best artists in both forms are mutually influenced by one another-- I think this idea of an inseperable gulf is mostly in the heads of fans. Edit: In the context of threads like this it also puts manga on the back foot. It's harder to give useful context AND cool moments in the space of 3-4 pages, and posting, like, 30 at once is unreasonable. How Wonderful! fucked around with this message at 19:26 on May 22, 2017 |

I'd say one other big difference is that they're creator-owned or more-creator-owned or whatever; basically, they don't become the perennial intellectual property of a media conglomerate. There's also a shitload more of it than we get here so there's going to be more chance for something great to emerge.

I don't follow IDW's ongoing stuff, but in their limited series Tranformers vs. GI Joe, Soundwave...well, he didn't exactly "join" GI Joe, so much as he "had his head ripped off and replaced by Bumblebee's body bent into a roughly-head-shaped cockpit piloted by Doctor Venom," but it basically counts. It's cool though, he was reforged in Cybertron's land of the dead. Lost his singing voice, though.
