Choco1980 posted:iirc, that was explicitly what his contract with Wildstorm was written to be. And boy was he pissed when WS got bought out by DC. Sometimes it seems like there's an entire department within DC that's entire purpose is to gently caress with Alan Moore.

I feel like it's unavoidable for the superhero comic medium, every single example just feels like A Very Special Episode.  Hellblazer's Matt, from the Dangerous Habits arc by Garth Ennis. For context, John got himself lung cancer by smoking thirteen cigarettes a day since he was seventeen years old, and he's trying to figure out how to deal with it. He decides to pay a visit to a local cancer ward. Full album here, takes place over several issues. http://imgur.com/a/j5zfX

At first I thought it'd be an ill-advised riff on All Star Superman but it's one of the best Deadpool issues, probably the best one outside of the wedding issue and the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly arc

Is that the one where Deadpool realizes he's, like, the worst possible choice to help someone in that situation and drops her off at a crisis center? Because that was real good.

Frankly, it's the sort of tough love that most people who are in that kind of serious trouble need to hear from those close to them. Trust me, I know.

Dennis gets splashed with mutagenic waste, and develops a) superpowers, and b) incurable cancer. The Avengers make him an honorary member.

Way the country's been going, I needed a little dose of idealism to remember that we're not always so horrible. Sandman #54 had an excellent retelling of the original Prez story and it's always been a favorite. The ending always gets me.Kammat posted:It really is one of the best side stories during Sandman's run. Here's the last four pages of the tale. Prez has died, Death escorts him to someone who wants to have a talk with him. Kammat fucked around with this message at 13:34 on Aug 14, 2017 |

I love that the core idea of it is America as an ideal worth chasing, rather than reality worth suffering. It is really one of my favourite Sandman stories.

I knew what you were talking about, I can pull up the images in my head, I can even see the reporter/actress who goes "WTF?" I still had to read it three times because I saw "He once cut a televised porno alongside Venom" and my brain just crashed.
