Bust Rodd posted:it’s really, really, ridiculously good science-fiction drama even if the landing doesn’t stick for everybody. Brian K Vaughn is a juggernaut and between this book and SaGa he’s cemented as one of the all time greats for the medium of science-fiction storytelling, comics or otherwise. The show appears to be taking some choices, like for example the main character being an ethnically ambiguous minority instead of an EXTREMELY white is a good first step. I’m so excited about a cast that is absolutely packed to the gills with women being heroes and villains, spies and soldiers and engineers and astronaughts and evil scientists and politicians and assassins. it’s a really loving awesome book and I’m hyped as gently caress about it. I really love The Boys and I thought Preacher had a really great TV interpretation with lots of heart. I think this show is going to be a very pleasant surprise to a lot of folks. SaGa being capitalized like that made me have to check that he didn’t somehow write a novelization for the SaGa games. They wrote something called Saga.

The explanation for building 7 that' I've heard is that it had no real internal supports, all the supporting structures were in the exterior walls. And the falling debris from the towers crushed one of the walls.

It went from the story of this family surviving to a story about endless bad things happening to this family for no reason. It wraps up the first half in the most liberal feminist guy way possible, where it expects that enough time has passed between issues that we're now on the side of the guys we haven't seen in a while, and thus what happens to them must be awful, and that, while dumber than the women, these guys have their hearts in the right place and should be remembered fondly as Good Men. As opposed to two lovely guys beating the tar out of each other, while the women cry that there must be a better way. Reading the whole 54 issue omnibus over a weekend, rather than over the course of six years, makes a lot of the flaws stand out. Still better than a lot of comics from the modern era, and I like that it had the awareness to say that "Maybe the people who based their lives around a crappy romance novel aren't the best people to run the world", even if it doesn't actually advocate for any real solution beyond "Drop out of society and live a rural life away from the bad people". Great art, though!

I think those breakout American comics from the late 90s and 2000s benefited a ton from just not being superhero stories in a market saturated with superhero stories. Hell, how many ongoing American romance comics other than Saga can you name? I can't think of any. People want something different and Saga and The Walking Dead and Y the Last Man are something different put out by a major publisher with good art and advertising.

People want something different and Saga and The Walking Dead and Y the Last Man are something different put out by a major publisher with good art and advertising. I agree. At the same time I was re-reading Saga, I was reading DC's Earth 2, and the contrast between them was stark. Earth 2 was like jumping into the middle of a long Russian novel, where I'm expected to care about this huge cast of characters who I hadn't been introduced to, and then follow this quickly changing story all about stopping multi-dimensional Borg from conquering the universe. The art was bog standard, and everything felt like a re-hash of other things I'd seen before, put together clumsily. Saga, on the other hand, was different and accessible. There weren't constantly call backs to old 60s comics, and it didn't expect me to care about the twist that Lois Lane is now the Red Tornado and that kind of thing. You could just pick Saga up and read it, from start to finish, and not feel like you missed anything. That accessibility is a major advantage, as is the clear labeling of what order to read it in.

quote:In Earth 2, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Catwoman seemingly gave their lives in order to repel the Apokoliptan invasion, leaving behind a world with no heroes.[16] Supergirl and Robin (Helena Wayne) end up stranded in the mainstream universe towards the end of the invasion.[17] When the Earth-2 Solomon Grundy threatens the world, three new heroes team up to defeat him: the Flash (Jay Garrick), Hawkgirl (Kendra Saunders), and Green Lantern (Alan Scott).[18] In later issues, Mister Terrific (Michael Holt) from the mainstream universe joins the team. Other heroes who have made appearances include Dr. Fate (Khalid Ben-Hassin), the Atom (Al Pratt, now nuclear-powered), the Sandman (Wesley Dodds), Mister Miracle, and Big Barda. In addition, the heroes of the Earth get supported by the World Army. Villains include Solomon Grundy, a now-villainous Terry Sloan, Wotan, Steppenwolf and what was thought to be a surviving, Darkseid-brainwashed Superman, which turned out to be a very powerful but genetically unstable Bizarro-type clone. Writer James Robinson left the series with issue #16 and Tom Taylor became the new writer at #17.[19] Other new characters introduced as the series progresses include a female Red Tornado (an android with the consciousness of Lois Lane which was uploaded that was uploaded into it by Sam Lane and Robotman), a hyper-intelligent knowledge-assimilator known as Accountable (Jimmy Olsen), a new Batman (Thomas Wayne using Miraclo), a new version of Aquawoman (Marella), and a new Superman (Val-Zod, a Kryptonian and a childhood friend of Power Girl's who had been imprisoned by Terry Sloan).

I don't spend much time entertaining theories about bombs in the buildings on 9/11. It's a detail people get really hung up on and at the end up the day it seems like a distraction away from the insidious poo poo we did to Afghanistan (and the rest of the globe) before and after 9/11.

Currently, I live in a reality where Bush and his cronies prosecuted an illegal war that killed hundreds of thousands of people. 9/11 conspiracy theorists are asking me to live in a reality where Bush and his cronies prosecuted an illegal war that killed hundreds of thousands of people...starting with about 3,000 Americans. Unless you're a nationalist lunatic who thinks only American lives count, what difference does it make?

“6 thousand or 6 million, who cares, it’s still horrible!” nobody is asking anyone to live in ‘a’ reality, it’s all the same world, but our perceptions of its limitations frequently differ from its actual operational limits, and how would one know anyway? stuff like that thing rationalizing the collapse of building 7 exists to preserve and reinforce the sanity/cohesion of worldview for those who cannot accept the existence of any conspiracy, rather than to assuage or convince “conspiracy-minded” people that nah it’s actually fine and normal to someone believing in the official story, the broader implications of such a conspiracy being true is the metaphorical jet fuel to the steel beams of ‘their’ constructed reality
