The New Fantastic Four Terrifics are gonna by Slutty Dorothy Gale, Miracleman, Captain Britain, and Jesse Custer. That'll totally own both DC AND Alan Moore.

My favorite part was when she had to have sex with that old creepy guy to get access to his magic power (or knowledge, I can't quite remember). It wouldn't be an Alan Moore book without that. not my favorite part. not all that bad, but I do wish all his books didn't have questionable sex or flat out rape

Whatever happened to the man of tomorrow was his best DC work that wasn't Watchmen.

My favourite Alan Moore comics are the Captain Britain ones he did with Alan Davis right at the start of his career. The only work he ever did for Marvel (and then only Marvel UK). That one issue where Mad Jim Jaspers has his shape-changing fight with the Fury, who defeats him by teleporting them both into a void where there is no reality for Jaspers to warp, is really fun.

Miracleman is probably my personal favourite Moore work. Never managed to get into Promethea, although the art is nice.

Jackdaw was part of Steve Parkhouse's revival of Captain Britain in the Marvel UK anthology magazine Hulk Comic Weekly, where he teamed up with Black Knight and had Otherworld adventures. That was the first time he was written by a British person

Guy Goodbody posted:Is Promethea massively popular and I'm the strange one for barely being aware of it? I get Watchmen, that's a well known popular comic, but bringing in Promethea and whoever else just seems like they're specifically trying to get Alan Moore mad.

I like Promethea an awful lot but I could take or leave Promethea herself. As far as I'm concerned its a series I revisit because I like what Moore has to say about occultism in it and because I like J.H. Williams-- transposed into a straight superhero comic I'm not really sure what the appeal is. Although I guess I feel the same way about Watchmen and the ersatz Charleston crew. If DC wants to stripmine Moore I think they should just cut out the middle-man and drag League of Extraordinary Gentlemen cameos into the spotlight. Give me a Teen Titans that's entirely Peters Lorre and edisonade goobers.

Rhyno posted:I stand by the position that the use of anything Moore created over the past few years is Johns sticking back at him after Moore said Johns career was based on his table scraps. I mean, they're going to drop V into the DCU this year, bank on it. But instead of sticking it at him, all Johns seems to be doing of late is proving the point though?

Speaking of Moore I'm just now getting around to reading all of his Swamp Thing and it's kind of weird to see all these things that have been referenced in other books.

Skwirl posted:What does Alan Moore have to do with Jesse Custer? Using a character created for Vertigo in the DCU is owning the loving poo poo out of Moore because he inspired Vertigo Confusing Alan Moore for Garth Ennis is just ramming a giant stick named OWNAGE up Alan Moore's roody-poo candyass. So about as much to do with Alan Moore as Lost Girls has to do with DC or as much as a lot of sick burns have to do with reality, poindexter.

Lost Girls is public domain actually (except the Peter Pan characters which he just waited out the UK copyright on.)

No, the work Lost Girls is copyrighted to Alan Moore, Melinda Gebbie, and Todd Klein (or some combination of the three depending on specific contracts between them). The characters it uses are public domain.

Like is anyone really surprised that a guy who at least used to think beating your wife was a thing to do and saying women should be seen and not heard thought it was okay to sexually harass women And i know i made fun of Nancy Grace but i dunno that it's appropriate to second guess the claims because the victim went to her and not another outlet site fucked around with this message at 20:17 on Jan 9, 2018 |

Or should I say how Jack Kirby wrote Reed Richards and then noted dirtbag Stan Lee took credit for Jack Kirby's sexual violence and misogyny? That's why I said used to genius And your stunning aha gotcha might have been worth a poo poo of Stan had seen the drawing and made Jack change it but instead he thought it was okay to print so I'm not sure what your point is
