This is what's worrisome. https://twitter.com/BRIANMBENDIS/status/928011161357901824 Please do not emulate Brad Meltzer.

That's like Geoff Johns going over to Marvel and referencing Mark Millar as his inspiration Or Chuck Dixon X-Men

If he brings Alex Maleev with him I'd loving love Bendis on something like Nightwing or Catwoman. Just don't let him near any characters with magic. No Zatanna or Constantine. Edit: what's Lex Luthor's current status, because Bendis was good at writing Norman Osbourne as evil President Lex, and good at writing Doc Doom as a reformed super villain trying to do good, so if DC wants a solo Lex book he'd be a good person for either version.

Hey, he might be referencing Meltzer's work on Green Arrow, which is definitely worth emulating and actually sort of Bendisish, kinda, a little bit. Lex Luthor is currently still in a "good guy" phase where he's wearing his patented Superman armor and generally flying around Metropolis trying to be Superman, but the notable thing is that he actually, genuinely seems to tolerate working alongside Superman for now and even helping him in various situations. Y'know. For now.

BrianWilly posted:Hey, he might be referencing Meltzer's work on Green Arrow, which is definitely worth emulating and actually sort of Bendisish, kinda, a little bit. I disagree, it's pretty bad. All of Meltzer's DC work is. It's just that Green Arrow is probably the least terrible, especially compared to the 90 car pileup that is Identity Crisis. My hope is that Bendis is just paying lip service to someone who's respected by DC corporate. It's like if someone notable was coming on board Marvel like five years ago, they might have hit him up  Looking at that stack of trades, aside from  at IC, my takeaways are: Why Johns' Titans instead of New Teen Titans? It's very Johns heavy, except that there's none of his Flash work. Also, no solo Batman stuff, which is kind of surprising. Even if he's not writing Batman, you'd think he'd get some Jim Aparo trades just to look at Aparo art. JLI and Gotham Central are no-brainers. Also, more Legion collections please. I mean, there's only three that have Giffen's work, and volume 3 and 4 (which is Five Years Later) are amazing. I'm glad they're starting to reprint the Grell era but come on. At least they've made most of this available digitally.

I assume he's read plenty of DC comics before making that pile. I just finished reading Watchmen for the first time. If nothing else, Doomsday Clock got me to finally dust off that trade 'Ol Jeffy Johns has my blessing to exploit it. Not that I hated it and the curse of GRIMDARK it cast on the world, but eff sacred cows. edit: Just put the movie on for the first time since release and it is hilarious how everyone's acting the comic out. I didn't like it back then simply as a movie, but I wish I did know the comic. It adds a lot of comedy. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 10:09 on Nov 8, 2017 |

I wonder if the pile is actual homework or more just to hint at what he's going to or wants to write? The reaction to Watchmen by people coming to it after having read other things that came out in the wake of it is interesting. Aside from giving Geoff permission to exploit his work, Moore would probably agree with you.

It really feels like some teenager running a Watchmen adventure in his favorite tabletop superhero RPG, but changing things to make it more x-treme. Like all the slow-mo fighting and how Nite Owl and Silk Spectre can shatter concrete with their bare fists, and of course the ending

It's an unpopular opinion these days, but I think if anything Watchmen is underrated. People talk so much about its relation to comics and the comics industry that they often don't talk about it as a work in itself, but as a standalone work I think it is very good indeed. I agree we shouldn't have sacred cows, but sometimes when a cow stops being sacred it still seems pretty peerless among bovines.

I like when people can't separate Meltzer's plots from his dialogue/character moments. He sucks at one, and is really good at the other. Kind of like Bendis.

His character moments are pretty bad too. I can see how they might be 'okay on paper' but character moments need proper context to hit well and his don't except in the most basic 'lol, killed a pregnant woman' way.

It's just not the loving Bible that people hold it up as. E: also the best part of the movie is the slo-mo sex scene set to Leonard Cohen and ending with a flamespurt money shot.

WW 34 is going to put me in a bad mood for a week. What a half-baked, half-assed story this has been. I’m glad I stopped buying this book when James “JUSTICE!” Robinson came on, but Rebirth has lost a lot of its luster at this point ‘cuz I’m down to reading a mere fraction of books I was when this shebang started. Of the whole lot, Detective Comics is really the only one that has stayed consistently stellar to this day.

JoshTheStampede posted:Yeah, I agree. Watchmen has always been A Very Good Comic. It's just not the loving Bible that people hold it up as. Watchmen is, legitimately, one the high points of comics as an art form. It shows a ton of what can be done with the medium just through the art and structure and layout even entirely divorced from the story. Even if you removed every single dialogue bubble from the comic it would still be a fantastic comic because of how it uses layout, panel composition, coloring, shading, and basically everything that makes it a comic. The story gets a lot of focus because the story itself is extremely meticulously crafted and it's easier to point to, but Watchmen is a fantastic comic even just on its art alone. It is why Doomsday Clock is boring because it has pretty lame half-assed artwork so even if the story was superb it would still be struggling to match the original.

Teenage Fansub posted:February 7th. Not sure if Brian Salvatore is being intentionally a jerk, but that's how I read it. Brian Salvatore: “World’s Finest” – give him the two biggest characters in the company right off the bat, and make it light on continuity, so he can do whatever he wants to do. Which is probably stretch a simple, 3 issue arc over 24 Also, that's hilarious.

I haven’t bought an issue with my money since Robinson’s fun started, as I mentioned.  Y’know what, I wish people should complain about bad comics MORE. I’d be doing it now if I wasn’t on my phone! Maybe that way this thread wouldn’t be so dead all the time, excepting the impending Bendispocalypse! The Marvel thread was a riot, mostly figuratively, during Secret Empire!

Anyway, Jeff Lemire's upcoming run at DC is a lot more interesting than what Bendis might do. I think that's jusylt a given though. I have to wonder what writers like Jason Aaron would have done with DC. I imagine Jason Aaron would be great on Wonder Woman. What Marvel writers do you guys want to do on DC books?
