I maintain that Slott would only be good for Human Torch and some Ben Grimm cameos. He will utterly ruin Sue and Reed.

Slott has definitely made it onto my list of people "I'd take a belt sander to their hands if I develop terminal cancer"

Superior Spider-Man was really good. Learning to Crawl was good, too. I haven't read all of his current run on ASM (because the first few issues are honestly pretty bad), but I liked SSM and the 2014 run. Personally I think the Slott hate is pretty overblown. There are a lot of worse writers out there.

Yeah, a lot of Slott's flaws are more noticeable since he has been in the comic for so long and his weaknesses keep showing up. I didn't like 800 as much and I think it was a meh way to exit the book. I know Spencer sucks too, but I am willing to see what he does for a couple of arcs.

If your dying wish is to kill a comic book writer cuz his stories are mediocre to bad i think you need to lay off the comics and go outside for a while

Rhyno posted:Because of Allred. I guess it all depends on what you want out of a comic book. For me, good writing can carry bad art, but great art isn't gonna carry bad writing. Ergo, if Silver Surfer was genuinely good, then Slott couldn't have been that terrible on it.

American superhero comics do have a proud tradition of anywhere from subtle to blatant theft of whatever else is going on in pop culture at the time, but yeah, a self-conscious "Doctor Who" pastiche at what might be the height of the show's international popularity did seem a little too on the nose. It wasn't bad for all that, but I'm on the team that says the Allreds carried that book across the finish line.

Watching Dr Who makes you incapable of enjoying anything, as well as incapable of shutting up about how you watch Dr Who.

site posted:ive never seen dr who so i dont understand what that means or why that makes the story bad When people compare that run to Dr. Who I guess what they're getting at is: a) Silver Surfer is an alien from space who goes around having space adventures, and this time a human girl is along for the ride, just like Dr. Who. b) the "tone"-- and here I think they mostly mean "the pencils"-- are somewhat retro and whimsical, just like, uh... Dr. Who? Silver Surfer himself isn't a very similar character to the Doctor at all so imo the argument mostly boils down to "there can only be one story about a sad earthling getting to go on big, vaguely twee adventures" which is awful news for vast swathes of children's literature and other pop culture over the past 150 years. You go break the news to Frank L. Baum, I'll tell Windsor McCay, then we can breathe a big sigh of relief that nobody in "Goblin Market" actually wound up having fun in the end.

You left out c), the fairly crucial giveaway "Dan Slott is on record as a huge fan of the show and wanted to write something in a similar vein/setup" I have no axe to grind with Slott, I really liked the run, it was a (bitter)sweet tale told well with some gorgeous art but acting like there's no truth at all behind what people are suggesting is rather dishonest. It absolutely was Dan Slott scratching his Doctor Who itch, and that's fine.

Yeah, I'm not dense, I can see the parallels to DW, I just don't see why that fact is presented as evidence that it's a bad story.

The Dazzler preview is uh... not the greatest. So the writer felt that Mutants should be phobic towards Inhuman's, while I personally disagree with the concept it's the actual composition that leaves me scratching my head.  How does this mutant know these ladies are Inhuman's? They haven't used their powers, they aren't dressed any special way, and they don't look like they couldn't be Mutants. On top of that, the comment appears to be delivered by a green-elf-orc hybrid thing, who is standing next to a yellow maybe-cat lady, with red and blue demon looking guys up front. Perhaps his comment is about how they're humanoid with no visible mutation? That doesn't work, the setting is a concert Dazzler is holding specifically to promote inclusivity, and Dazzler, like many mutants, looks perfectly human with no visible trait OF mutation. So what's the deal? I was so confused about this the first time reading I thought the text bubbles had been swapped around.
