I love the part of Sandman where Dream sends a lady to hell for rejecting his advances and suffers no consequences for it.

I love the part in Sandman where a woman isn't allowed to participate because she happens to be trans, but it's okay because it's only the moon that's being transphobic and rejecting her.

Alright that's enough Sandman talk. Move that elsewhere. Keep this thread on topic, which in a ideal world would mean no new posts ever but we know better than that.

I know it's EVS so the answer is almost certainly no but was the original Cyber-Frog from the 90s any good/ popular enough that non-GG would have been interested in buying an updated book?

I own a copy of Cyberfrog: Reservior Frog #1 because Erik Larsen did the variant cover and I’m a huge mark for Larsen, but the book itself is pretty dire, and that’s not taking into account the uninspired subtitle. The cover was done decades ago and Larsen wants nothing to do with Sciver or Comicsgate and I don’t blame him.

Maybe they were pushing Supreme, too, but I don’t think it really got it really got its day in the sun until after it was done. Granted, I was exactly the right age to be into Gen 13 then, so I will accept that my recollection is fundamentally biased.

I think we can both agree Cyberfrog was uniquely forgettable.

EVS himself in a rare moment of self awareness ran down the original Cyberfrog as a amateurish but I’m sure he doesn’t do it anymore.

It may be a footnote now but in terms of ranking the significance of properties: Gen 13 was a Top 10 selling book for much of its first few years, sometimes taking up two Top 10 slots thanks to various mini-series/specials. They were popular enough to warrant a second anthology title (Gen 13 Bootleg) which had stories by a ton of people including Alan Davis, The Simonsons, Terry Moore, James Robinson & Scott Hampton, Mike Wieringo, Warren Ellis & Steve Dillon, etc. They had crossover one-shots/minis with Spider-Man and Superman, and were generally Wildstorm's top title for several years. All of this got burnt out quickly though a combination of being sort of of-the-moment (one of the main characters is named Grunge. GRUNGE) and a series of not particularly well conceived relaunch attempts once DC purchased Wildstorm. But in its prime it was a big book with spinoffs, action figures, t-shirts, and a direct to video animated film. It was a fad, but it was a big fad. Supreme had its Alan Moore run, but at the end of the day it was a bad Superman pastiche for a few years, then became a good Superman pastiche under Alan Moore and a bric-a-brac of artists of wildly varying quality across like four publishers and never actually ended. It's relatively well known, but any details about SUPREME are really secondary to "Alan Moore" and "Superman". But both books outsold (and had exponentially more issues) than Cyberfrog, which prior to the whole Comicsgate bullshit I frequently got mixed up with Creed. Which is my main point, for a few years Gen 13 was legitimately a phenomenon, and Cyberfrog was a weird self-published thing that got picked up by a flailing Harris Comics to prove they made more than Vampirella and HARSH REALM for a few issues.

It's funny how it started with Bigby supporting Israel and one could go, "Okay, I can see that, he's an ancient might-makes-right jerk cop who wouldn't really pay attention to anything but a country's military so of course he would-" and then it got... worse.

They’d never get government approval. They’d never be able to jump through all of the regulatory hoops any new product has to overcome today. The problem with jetpacks and flying cars is that they aren’t already 100% safe to all potential users. They don’t get, and never will get, the time to develop and perfect that we’ve given our airplanes and ground cars. We have our jetpacks and flying cars and we simply aren’t going to use them.

I do think it's odd since DC also published a book where you could see Batman's dick, and I disagree with this particular line being drawn for this act, but I understand the general concept of "there's things you can portray villains doing in your adult comic book cartoon, but not Batman," just it should be based on stuff like cruelty and violence, not consensual sex acts among adults.
