I'M HAVING A HOOT EATING CORNETTE THE LONG WAY

Thank you

Welcome back anti-hero. It’s been too long. I like Jason Todd. I like his story. Someone who has gone through what he has would probably have no compunctions with killing. I hope he kills a lot of bad guys. Maybe even some bigger names. Artemis and he should be able to do some real damage.

I only have excellent ideas
I legit admire that D_T goes all in for Jason, I wish I had the jutzpah to be 100% for my favorite characters like that, especially in a space that's pretty antipathetic towards that character (and honestly Jason Todd does nothing for me and has usually been saddled with creative teams I don't like). I remember wanting to post something snitty about how poorly Taskmaster was written in this one Squirrel Girl issue a few years ago but talking myself out of it, but like, we're all comic book dweebs, who cares about decorum. So you know what, I'll say it loud and proud-- Ryan North doesn't get the extremely simple basic concept of Taskmaster and neither does Joe Kelley.

(Also I think a red hoodie and a domino mask would be a fine, simple look for Todd, but the face in this new design is way too busy-- he's got the bandana and this kind of tacky looking cyber-mask,and the hoodie, it's just too much. If he's the black sheep of the Batman family, imo he should look like he's without Batman's resources and not have all these custom straps and high-tech eyepieces-- some of the sleek, street-fashion inspired designs from We Are Robin a few years ago might be where I'd start if I were, for whatever godforsaken reason, in charge of designing him.)

The tire iron is a funny callback. The crowbar is dumb. I mean, they’re both dumb, but one is so specific to his stealing a wheel that it’s silly.

I can't believe it's Wednesday and instead of new comics everyone is trying to dunk on someone who clearly doesn't give a poo poo about being dunked on

Here, I'll go first: Dan Jurgens' Green Lanterns run is real bad and I don't like it! Kind of bummed the book is going to be ending with this dumb plot where nobody is talking to each other to circumvent their evil misinformation rings.

I'm enjoying Batman's 12 Angry Men arc, but this issue was really just going over points we got in the first one. I bet if you lifted it out of the storyline, it'd read fine.

I don't wanna get to the end of Shade yet :/

Jason Todd may be shittier than ever but thank Christ someone vetoed that bloody bat on the chest look.

Also reading the notes about his emblem being his mask makes me think Frank Castle needs to start filing for copyright infringement.


edit: the ideal Red Hood redesign is to just go back to classic Red Hood. Have Jason Todd go around doing his Punisher-lite thing with a tuxedo and red cape on.

Um...holy poo poo why didn't anyone tell me that Hellblazer was so good? :aaa: Go ahead and put Constantine in everything.

Also, the latest Justice League was so good. Just Luthor and his machinations while retaking his rightful place as The Final Boss. Maybe it's because I grew up with the Super Friends, but this poo poo 'here' is gonna be a fantastic run.

lol at Jason Todd. If he stayed dead or remained a boss character they only brought out occasionally when it's time to wank over history, maybe he'd have a bit of dignity still. And what an awful costume.

I understand why but it kinda sucks none the less. I thought including context about the content was more useful than just pretending it doesn't exist.

I wonder if it's because of positive feedback to the film trailer and they don't want to risk that being associated with some pretty nasty stuff.

Sadly, I agree. The angle should work better than it does. Padding everywhere.

I'm hoping beyond all hope that all the Sandman-related titles that are coming out in the next few months will be at least passable. I'm a slut for any of those late 80s/90s Vertigo series' with magic-based characters.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

catlord posted:

My gut reaction is to like it, but that's just because it looks like he stole half of Azrael's outfit, and frankly the last thing Azrael needs is to be associated with Jason Todd.

Also, he needs a katana because it's more threatening than a crowbar? gently caress off, I'm running from both.

I think that is technically a wakizashi, not a katana. :goonsay:

That's what they call it on that last page, I'm just going by that.

Also, does Jason really need to have a Bat-symbol? It seems weird that he keeps on violently breaking away from Batman, but they absolutely have to keep that.

I always kind of lament that Marvel themed restaurant at Universal studios Hollywood closed down.

But it is kind of weird seeing my 2000s era Marvel shirts with Universal branding and seeing my now era Disney Marvel shirts.

I think their licensing agreement was perpetual or something, but they can't update anything past what they launched at.

They lost some rights to certain characters. The hulk roller coaster had to be renamed.

That's probably all it is. I figure once Disney builds a "World of Marvel" park at DisneyWorld they'll just give it up.

I think the agreement right now is that Disney can't use most Marvel licenses in Disney World. Guardians of the Galaxy wasn't part of the deal, so they can use that though.

Like, they announced Marvel areas for a few parks except in Disney World.

As far as I know, that was just for the one in California Adventure which was the bad version of that ride anyway. I don't think there's any plans to turn the Florida one into Guardians, and they're instead getting a Guardians roller coaster.
