That… comic? Sure, let's go with that. That comic does make me wonder something. What does Rob Liefeld even do for a living these days? I mean, does he still get work doing art? Did he make good investments during Image's heyday? The guy's got to have an income source.

Even pretty recently he's been paid big money to do comics because we do not live in the best of all possible worlds.

Doesn't he have part/full ownership over his Original Characters Do Not Steal™ for licensing? I would imagine between licensing for cartoons, movies and stunt guest writing/drawing for titles he's makes some good money. Man made a LOT of "X" characters including Deadpool and Cable.

Curating comics lines like the Extreme relaunch, getting royalties, being paid for Hollywood options that go nowhere, doing the convention circuit, and drawing art, including commissions, covers and comics pages

My question is why is Dale Keown in that comic, but Sam Kieth isn't? The Maxx started around the same time as Pitt

Bruce Wayne is used to undressing in a dark room with another man and leaving before either of them see one another's face, it's okay.

This was like every installment of the old serials. Vicky Vale would mention a crime or something and Bruce would suddenly go, "I'm gonna go take a nap."

I know when the story got remade a few years back it was due to a gently caress up by rhe cruise ship company.

Doesn't that one also rewrite it so that Bruce realizes Clark is Superman when he gets shot in front of him or something?

Not a billionaire, but that's pretty much what Sleepwalker was.

Dude couldn't do superhero stuff unless he was asleep so his alter-ego/whatever could get out and fight.

That's exactly how it is in the original. Clark and Bruce are both taking a vacation coincidentally on the same ship, and they overbook and have to put them both in the same cabin.

They both make a gentleman's agreement to keep the other's identity a secret and work together on a diamond heist going on aboard, with Lois tagging along to get the scoop on it. They even do acrobatics in costume to entertain the passengers.

I feel like you could make an entire book out of Dethstroke's worst day, where he just keeps mistaking superheros for his assassination targets and using the wrong tools against them. :allears:

American Alien, absolutely recommended reading. Every issue is a different story of Clark growing up and gradually becoming the man we know. It's one of the best recent Superman stories.

Big fan of Fat Loki right here. I believe the world needs more of it.

Also I didn't realize early Thor was all about beating the poo poo out of commies.



Here he is sending Chinese tanks to India after disabling them.

I'm sorry, somebody mentioned Sleepwalker so I materialized into this thread to just note that Sleepwalker was great.

Even if it did lead to (wonderfully) contrived set-ups like this:





From Infinity Crusade issues 3 & 4.

In a better universe, the end of that comic is Wolverine revealing that his fanfics never get first place and he's really sad about it.

To which he says:

The whole issue is good, though if I recall the "much athletic" doge meme joke got the bulk of the attention round these parts.
