Son of Rodney posted:Uh, the show is already extremely hosed up, how is the comic that much worse? He's actually solid at storytelling and concept, which is why his stuff endures and gets picked for adaptation, but he always made his bones on shock value. Like every artist who goes for shock value for every "oh that's hosed up but I get it" there's a dozen "I get it but that's hosed up."

Reading Preacher at an inopportune time of your life, like the mid-90s when you're in college and will do anything to avoid homework, and letting it influence you into a minor career in indie comics, will set you on a path to ruin

Nessus posted:Did he put a guy who butt-fucks for justice (without consent) in The Boys, or did he stop doing that after Preacher and, uh, Hitman? But uh no, he didn't stop doing that sort of thing. Crossed is the "Oops all Edgelord" variant of his work. It's about a world where zombies take over, but the virus doesn't make you crave flesh it makes you one of the Reavers from Firefly. Literally the very first issue features a two-page graphic spread of (content warning: EXTREME sexual violence)  three people graphically and explicitly on-panel being simultaneously anal-raped and disemboweled/flayed; one of them is an infant. The weirdest part is that he really is just barely good enough at story construction that if you can stomach it, the story actually isn't the worst zombie fiction I've ever read. I'd certainly read it again over World War Z.

Crossed has a weird history where it all was a bet. Ennis and Warren Ellis got stuck in a hotel after a con when the storm got too bad for the ferry to sail so they stayed up all night drinking and bullshitting. They made a contest to see who could write the more hosed up zombie story. Ennis won since he went straight to the hosed up scenarios while Ellis went more for a structured story. Crossed end up being super successful too while Black Gas was just a wet fart.

I'd certainly read it again over World War Z. this is possibly the lowest bar ever the vast majority of zombie stories are written by people who seem to just kind of hate humanity in general. like they think that the instant central authority collapses everyone will turn into a petty little self centered rear end in a top hat. even within the ultimate libertarian fantasy libertarian societies immediately fall apart

Crossed is honestly the rare exception where I feel that misanthropic fantasy works, because the Zombies don't degrade beyond whatever mutilations they do to themselves, and they don't need other flesh to survive. They're all just The Joker with a limited vocabulary. The infection is also droplet-based, so it spreads insanely fast and pretty much any zombie in a position to wreak havoc with infrastructure does so immediately. Like yeah society still wouldn't fall apart as fast as it depicts because people are crafty and understand how to preserve systems pretty instinctively when you get right down to it, but for all the Edgelord faults I'll honestly stand by and say that Crossed sells its premise a lot better than it has any right to.

That's something I really hate about modern comics. How goddamned Edgy the Joker has become. Like culminating in whatever bullshit Leto was pulling. Like I get it he's a serial killer and yeah chaotic but gently caress me, it's just like a he's an over-the-top torture-murder tornado.

That was always there in the background though, at least since the introduction of Harley Quinn. It isn't like he met some crazy lady in asylum and they fell in love.

Any story concept or setting Ennis comes up with should immediately be wrestled away from him to stop him loving it up with juvenile poo poo. Also Joker and Harley Quinn are both way, way overdone at the moment. :comicbookopinions:

spookykid posted:Amazon Prime, and it's more on the level of almost a visual novel in animation quality, but is completely redeemed by the voice acting and them cutting out the worst of Kirkman's weirdness. Skybound farmed the action scnese work out to Japanese and Korean animation studios and it really shows. I was super shocked when the first big... scene that I don't want to spoil kicked off, because up until then it was extremely unimpressive. The show overall takes a while to pick up, but the grody superhero street brawls are pretty solid, from the end of the first episode on.

This reminds me of this radio ad for the Australian Navy, which went like "If you can tell the difference between this: *sonar ping noise*, and this: *identical sonar ping noise*, we want to hire you". Needless to say, I did not join the Navy.
