I am further going to suggest that the types of stories you produce when maintaining that schedule are probably not ones I want to read. evilmiera fucked around with this message at 07:54 on Jul 14, 2020 |

Like, in western comics the work is usually split between several people - pencils, inks, letters, all fall to separate people, and even then it's a lot of work. Manga's black and white so you dodge the need for a colourist, but for the most part one person is doing all three of those jobs, unless they're successful enough to afford understudies and assistants. An insane schedule (or being a ridiculously fast drafter) is the only way to keep on top of it, and if you want to be a professional mangaka, you have to produce pages at the rates magazines expect. It's messed up, but it's not the artists' fault. Just labour market stuff. And western comics sucks on this too - artists routinely get screwed, over-worked, underpaid, etc. It's just more pronounced in Japan.

There was one artist called Shigeru Mizuki from the same 1950s/60s generation of artists as Osamu Tekuza (Astro Boy) - essentially the generation that established the comics scene in postwar Japan. I can't find the interview where I read it now, but iirc he outlived most of his contemporaries by a good few decades by being the only one to avoid the insane work schedule that they were all doing. He died aged 93 in 2015, despite serving in WWII and losing an arm.

Bad Girl Exorcist Reina Reina Suzuno is a high school girl and an exorcist, and she's also a delinquent. Dyed hair, terrible attitude, the works. One day her friends decide to have fun playing kokkuri-san (the japanese equivalent of an ouja board), and they accidentally summon a poltergeist, which refuses to break the contact and when they try to send it away forcibly starts making books, tables, chairs, and other stuff fly through the air, endangering them. Reina arrives and punches the desk they're playing on really hard. Everything that had been flying through the air falls to the ground. (Read right to left.)

The "aight, fine." really got me there, I wasn't expecting that. I always enjoy Japanese depictions of "delinquents" too. The loose socks in this case, or that weird rolled quiff.

So Bucky getting adopted by the military wasn't terribly weird in the context of the actual policy for the period. Beloved children’s tale Anne of Green Gables starts out with Anne being purchased from an orphanage to be a farm hand. The Cuthberts clearly requested a boy, of course, and almost availed themselves of the return policy.

If you spent an hour a day on breakfast it's your own fault, the day is short. Edit: Okay, that came out way more assholish than I wanted it to. Sorry! Breakfast is highly overrated, though.

The more I look at it the worse it gets. Like the 6am-7am tuesday meeting with the editor that is scheduled after working the entire night without sleep, after sleeping for two hours on monday. E: to contribute to the thread, some funny panels from very good ongoing webcomic Barbarous by Yuko Ota and Anath Hirsh. (context: Persephone (the lady) and Leeds (the big monster) work for the owner of an apartment building. Percy has a crush on Leeds.)

I'm all for manga but don't post sexually suggestive and extended jokes about children. Action Jackson, you've posted stuff from that manga before that seemed fine and a lot of other funny things ITT but those scans crossed a really weird and I should think obvious line.

He was rebooted pretty severally in the Annihilation prelude and they've just gone with that. They've almost certainly not turned him into an anti Ronan weapon like he wa in GotG the Movie.

ScottyJSno posted:Is Drax still a human that Mentor turned into a Anti - Thanos weapon? Or did he get retconed when GotG came out? For the last few years after GotG, he was just movie Drax personality-wise but I don't think his origin ever got retconned, they just conveniently never mentioned his past. Most recently through a series of events too complicated to bother explaining, I think he's back to more of his pre-movie self. Anyway, content. The Batman's Grave #8: Warren Ellis' version of Alfred Pennyworth is wildly out of step with any depiction of the character I've ever seen before but I can't say he's not entertaining.

Yeah, though him being a regular human that was killed in a car crash and adapted by Mentor. I don't think that's ever changed, the pre-Annihilation change was that Mentor tinkered with the artificial body housing Arthur's spirit would rejuvenate itself and adapt to whatever killed it. But this change was just because Giffen wanted to work for Marvel but still write Lobo stories.
