Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:Several months ago, I mentioned that I had written a scholarly article about what lessons Daredevil comics can teach about legal ethics and the legal system in general, especially to an audience of non-lawyers. It was finally published online today, in the Capital University Law Review. I'm a tenure-track law librarian, and getting scholarly articles written and published is one of the necessary requirements for tenure, which means you either get more job security and stability, or you get fired. I'm gonna read it!!

Hey, thanks to all of you, seriously. It can't possibly live up to all the hype I'm giving it, but I'm pretty proud and extremely relieved right now. And I can't tell you how much I appreciate BSS as a place to talk about comics online with smart and good people. I met Charles Soule at MegaCon today and gave him a copy, which he asked ME to sign, as he signed all my Daredevil and She-Hulk TPBs. We took a couple of pictures together and chatted for a few minutes, which meant so much to me. Big Bad Voodoo Lou fucked around with this message at 05:28 on May 18, 2019 |

You know, on a whim, I read the IDW Sonic Comic because I get some issues for free with my COMIXOLOGY UNLIMITED account. It was pretty good. Got me interested in them and led to me finding out that the original run is the longest running all ages comic in America. Outside some scattered issues, I don't think I ever read them as a child. But, I have just found out that sometimes we do read alongs. Like let's plays, but less financially viable. Would anyone be interested if I did a read-along of the original run as a thread? And if I do so, what is the policy on posting occasional images?  I'm running under the assumption that this reading order is correct.

Gavok posted:Here's something amazing. I always wonder what those types of things will look like in real life, because that's not a photograph of a physical object. A company just makes web pages for a bazillion of those, most of which probably don't sell any, but print on demand is so cheap now that if you have the right connections or facilities to do it yourself it's barely more expensive than just a plain black version of whatever. So it's a question of the actual quality of the source image is, because on a piece of clothing that's a two-three foot picture of Thanos' face. You could maybe get something that wouldn't be terrible to someone standing next to you in real life if you had a 4k copy of Infinity Wars, but someone would also have to dig that image out, and how much time are they spending doing that?

I'm talking about there being so many things like that, most likely just generated by bots, that more of those exist than people who would get the reference. I still want to know what one actually looks like as a physical product, because assuming someone paid money for that, it still didn't exist as an actual thing you could hold in your hands before someone paid money for it.

In today's episode of "least surprising revelations about infamous comic runs", Angel Punisher is really bad. I thought it might be possible that the reputation was built on Punisher fans just not liking the idea of change, but holy poo poo is it terrible. I wouldn't be shocked if that was in part due to editorial interference, but there was no saving this train wreck. Why would you retcon the Punisher's origin to make it magic? Why change the Punisher into something even more generic? Why do magic angel guns look like bad scifi movie laser pistols?

No. Angel Punisher was in like 2000 as part of Marvel Knights. You had all these great books from that line, and that ended up being the major misfire.

It gets away from the tired stories of Frank kills a mobster who swears it's gonna be different when HIS crew takes on Punisher Frank has to reluctantly team up with a hero who uses non lethal methods to fight crime Said heroes get tired of Frank's Jonestown sized bodycount and try to bring him in

Punisher kills the last Criminal on the planet. The world has, due the actions of everyone else but him, turned into that loving thing from Demolotion Man. Frank has to decide how he lives in this world without criminals and without the need of the Punisher.

Lurdiak posted:Angel Punisher was a good idea and it sucks that it was handled so poorly. At the level of "The Punisher finally collapses under the weight of everything he's done and kills himself, but then he comes back from hell because supernatural forces won't let him stop killing," you've got an idea that can work. But beyond that, it's all bad. "He's an angelic avenger trying to kill demons to earn his way into heaven" is pretty cliche and hackey. All of the "Oh and he's working for his guardian angel who didn't protect his family on that day in the part because he was off getting laid and the mobsters that killed Frank's family were doing a ritual because their boss was a demon" is just batshit crazy.

Frank has to decide how he lives in this world without criminals and without the need of the Punisher. Not the Punisher, but they did a Wolverine What If issue that was kind of like that. Apocalypse reinjects adamantium into Wolverine and powers him up into being the Horseman of War. Wolverine goes into a rage and immediately turns on and slaughters Apocalypse and his crew. Then he becomes this omnipresent boogeyman of sorts who kills all the X-Men villains, moves on to the other villains, moves on to corrupt politicians/businessmen, moves on to child predators, etc. He's able to elude the superheroes and by the time he comes down from his bloodlust and vanishes, the world's governments are so spooked that they restructure everything for the better else he might come back. The issue takes place about a hundred years later, where the world is a utopia and the protagonist is a soldier in a peacekeeping force that really doesn't do much, but is told to remain vigilant in case War returns. He questions his role in the world and ends up going to a retreat run by monks. There he bonds with their founder, a down-to-earth hooded figure calling himself "Brother Xavier."
