Unmoving Plaid has been around forever. It's a very stylised choice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaG9Kkkdfx0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcZUPDMXzJ8&t=124s

I think the immovable plaid thing works a lot better when it's just a few splashes like the skirts on those Gotham Academy covers, rather than a huge garish blob covering up the center like that Lex Luthor cover.

I like how that same cover was posted in the funny panels thread and people just said "haha, it's like the salesman in Monkey Island". Jesus christ guys, unmoving plaid is a perfectly fine stylistic choice and is in no way lazy.

That was out of a comic. Not that it makes up for his comicgater spank material 'sjw owning' commissions, but some of the variants are genuinely beautiful.  and most are thankfully pretty wholesome. It's a shame if he really does just have to keep returning to the garbage heap to make a living. edit: Though that's just an excuse. No other working professional seems to have to do that.

I used to read comics a bit when I was younger, but I was never one to follow any specific character or story arc with any consistency. I'd wander into a comic book store every couple months and pick up a few individual issues here and there based on what art I liked. Needless to say, none of these comics made much of an impression on me because I was really just seeing single vertical slices of much more detailed stories. The one exception, and the only single issue comic that I still have a copy of, was Wolverine #90 from February of 1995. Warning: this post contains spoilers for a 23-year old issue of Wolverine (and huge images). That said, I do not spoil the actual ending of the issue. THIS THING HAS SO MANY FOLD-OUT PAGES. It blew my goddamn mind. And still does, I suppose, since I've held onto it all these years. It starts with a wrap-around cover that features Adam Kubert art over a painting by Tim and Greg Hildebrandt:  Following the obligatory FLEER ULTRA SKELETON WARRIORS ad on the inside of the cover, the book start out with a fold-out of Wolverine approaching an imprisoned Sabertooth who is watching a newscast about a group of cops beating the poo poo out of a accused serial killer. FORESHADOWING PERHAPS?!?  This leads into the first of two four-page fold-outs as an enraged Sabertooth lunges toward his captor:  While the door frame looks admittedly a bit wonky, I think the characters both look great. Especially Wolverine whose face which is drawn from a perspective that is not terribly common. The highlight of the issue comes later though, a three-page spread of the inevitable showdown between Wolverine and Sabertooth (complete with poor Wolvie getting socked in the nads):  Not one to just sit there and take a beating, Wolverine channels his inner Hulk Hogan (this is 1995, after all) and turns the tides in the issue's other four-page fold out:  Wolverine looks awesome. Sabertooth's head is obviously deformed as all hell but in a way that really sells the force behind his unfortunate impact with the wall. Reading the physical issue this image is over 2 feet long and pretty goddamn impressive. There are a couple other foldouts within the book, including the final page, but I didn't want to end up posting the whole issue. Long story short - it's definitely worth a look. It's a whopping $1.99 on comixology on it's own but they're running a buy-one-get-one Marvel promo using code BOGO this month, so it can cost you even less than that.

It used to be, every comic was a complete story, or multiple complete stories, that could draw in a new reader no matter which issue was their first. Decompressed storytelling has distinctly increased the cinematic feel of a distinctly un-cinematic medium at the expense of a lot of the things it did well.

Decompressed storytelling can be really great, but I think its being the standard has encouraged a lot of mediocre writers to use it as a crutch. So many six issue arcs these days are just, "two things happen, slowly". Letting your story sprawl out is an easy trap to fall into, and the way comics are sold and published these days encourages careless sprawl. It totally supports the natural temptation to forgo editing, never cut a scene, never even out the pacing, because you know you have 132 pages to tell any given story, regardless of how much meat your plot actually has on its bones.

Decompressed storytelling has distinctly increased the cinematic feel of a distinctly un-cinematic medium at the expense of a lot of the things it did well. This is kind of true, but increasingly less so as you make your way through the 70s. Even in the mid to late 60s there were some fantastic arcs that drew out over multiple issues. Yeah, the one page recap can get you up to speed to an extent, but they suffered heavily if you just jumped in on a random issue. Thor, Dr. Strange, Steranko’s Fury... even some of those FF or S-M arcs didn’t work great if you grabbed the second or third issue in the arc. Hell, Marvel made a big deal when they went to the one and done format in 1970 (69 maybe?). That lasted for a year and made the books markedly worse.

Wolverine #90 was great. The ending with his middle claw stabbing Sabretooth was a huge surprise. And right after this the next four issues were part of Age of Apocalypse.

I'm exactly the opposite but I also only read trades. I tried to keep current once (during Secret War lol) and it was ridiculous

So same, after a small period when I got back into comics where I bought some comics at the local PX when bored one day, I just stopped buying them and focused on the trades because that was the only way to get anything like a full story. To be fair to decompressed storytelling, those old comics are dense as gently caress sometimes to the point being a drag to read. Finding a comfy medium would be nice. Modern trades often read faster than single issues of the old paradigm. remusclaw fucked around with this message at 18:02 on Sep 6, 2018 |

I like stories that go on multiple issues if it doesn't feel like the writer is spinning their wheels. Unfortunately that's the way a lot of them feel. The old jump in comics were funny because they'd always have to have a piece of dialogue to remind you of the character's power.

Honestly that Claremont run of X-Men is probably as close to that comfy medium as there is. Most issues are one story but there is a continuity and occasional multi issue story to shake things up. So do that comic companies!

With Marvel Unlimited consistently being only six months behind, it's an incredibly convenient way to keep somewhat current on books that you aren't bothering to get trades for or whatever. Or just check out some random run to decide if you want to own a hard copy or whatever. There's been a few authors/artists I probably wouldn't have known about otherwise, but now I'll pick up pretty much anything they work on.
