You have to remember the field of people talking about comics and not just reviewing them is like, ten people? And I probably know half of them on a first name basis, it's a small group. And most of those people don't bother with mainline marvel/DC poo poo because most of those books are hot garbage so you end up with idiots like me who decide to hate read a book and get three pages in and start screaming about SHUT THE gently caress UP LIBERALLLLLLL

Anyway here's a good tweet about comics that isn't by me https://twitter.com/JeremyMonjo/status/1185359192833396738?s=19 Edit I went off private here's a couple tweets with pahes that I think are emblematic of this run. I'm linking tweets because j reset my phone the other day and lost all the saved images and downloading images I uploaded to Twitter so I can reupload them here seems dumb https://twitter.com/KamenRiderUno/status/1179924421311651845?s=19 And it's fascinating how lib it is because there's a really easy leftist run here, as a follow up to Nazi Cap taking over America, which is: cap admits this wasn't just a one off thing, that Evil Cap exploited deep flaws in America, things that have been allowed to fester because it didn't affect the people in charge or because they could exploit those things themselves, and swearing that he was going to tackle those causes and doing basically what Mark Waid did in the run before this which is becomin a wandering folk hero standing up for the little guy, but more overt, like just straight up going after the people really responsible for the poverty and misery that hydra exploited in some golden age Superman kick the governors rear end poo poo But no BENGHAZI 2 has issued a correction as of 23:46 on Oct 20, 2019 |

https://twitter.com/KamenRiderUno/status/1180220428251467781?s=19 A reminder that Captain America has renounced his costumed identity multiple times as a response to being disgusted with his government and lead a resistance movement against what he saw as a law that would be leveraged badly to force superheros to be tools for the government And then iron Man started locking up people on caps side in a black site prison, entirely justifying his worries But yeah how can I fight against the govt https://twitter.com/KamenRiderUno/status/1180225732213182464?s=19 I just like this page because you know he means this to be villains trying to justify their actions but no they're right they're absolutely right Fake edit this I think is my problem with this run in two posts https://twitter.com/KamenRiderUno/status/1180226413086904320?s=19 BENGHAZI 2 has issued a correction as of 00:12 on Oct 21, 2019 |

the big problem with flagship comic properties is that they can never embody a singular creative vision. as time goes on you have to hand it off to other people, and some of them either aren't going to care about the continuity or won't get the implications and where it should go. so they just end up repeating the same beats over time.

I mean my lovely response is to go "wow thanks" but tnc is definitely in the "not getting it" camp, because the consensus seems to be "this is like, the opposite of how cap air quotes should react to this situation" I think the dissonance is made more interesting by coates' status as a lib intellectual because not only do you see him misunderstand some pretty basic and accepted truths of the character you can see why he doesnt get it, ideologically Like cap doing a hard turn into being a racist dictator because of a fart box made more sense, from a character standpoint, than this! Because Nick Spencer is a shithead but he also gets that cap doesn't worship the people in charge, he loves the idea and the promise of what America can be, where tnc's run is full of this deference to authority and lamenting the wrong people being in charge And like, maybe it's just a really Galaxy Brain con where cap is wrong for all of the things he thinks and my ideological complaints are negated but you're still left with him not getting it as the writer Also he's just fuckin bad at it, it's over narrated and he doesn't let the art do any of the work It sucks too because even if secret empire and the stuff leading to it was hot garbage cap in the 21st century has been relatively thematically consistent and all of it has been true to those core ideas of the character, the ones that have been spelled out time and time again, even when they go weird places like the double Mobius reacharound of secret empire BENGHAZI 2 has issued a correction as of 01:00 on Oct 21, 2019 |

Also I am actually planning on writing something about this because I'm really bad at explaining my problems with it here and also the "well there is no real true consistency to big two books" discussion is loving boring and played out and I do want to explain this poo poo in a way that isn't just pointing to me live tweeting it and also it's something that's fairly concrete for me to write about which is hard to find in a project involving 2150 issues of a single comic

Tomb of Dracula loving ruled and who doesn't want to see Dracula fight the Silver Surfer? Dumb people, that's who I'm super out of the loop on comics lately but my dime store analysis is that Ed Brubaker making Cap really matter again on top of the inherent symbolism has made Cap into a trap. He's too potent of a figure so everyone thinks they'll be able to tell a really weighty story about ~duty~ or whatever the hell. we were better off when Mark Gruenwald was the high water mark for the character

Is that the horror-y Hulk book? I've heard it's really good but I don't have a reading device at the moment. I could use my desktop I guess but then I can't chill in my sun chair outside and listen to parrots scream so what's the point?

Back then comics were something I'd pick up for like $3 when going with my parents to the grocery store. I wonder when specifically they transitioned into a specific nerd-only thing that could only be purchased in specialty nerd shops.

They brought all of that back and made the evil clone cool and added a doc ock in spiderman clone. The angsty clone was just the real spider-man and real spider-man turned to clone dust then came back 2 years ago as another clone who is evil for unknown reasons. Edit: this all happened before the guy who made captain america a nazi took over writing spider-man and his supervillain roommates. Just read the black spider-man. He is good
