See, Norman Osborn, the Green Goblin, was president, Iron Man was a criminal and Captain America was dead because of Civil War. So, Norman stole Iron Man's suit and merged it with Captain America's persona so he can claim to be the "Iron Patriot," the new leader of the Avengers. I hate comics

Plutonis posted:Superhero comics suck rear end!!! I will say that electing Donald Trump retroactively vindicated Lex Luthor and Norman Osborn winning the Presidency in their respective universes. If we can elect a Supervillian in real life who is currently slashing all health care benefits for everyone who isn't age 30-45 white male, why can't fictional worlds also elect Supervillians?

Nebezial is good arts, and Death Vigil was a great World of Darkness game that was never actually a World of Darkness game, but was a comic instead for some reason.

Evil Mastermind posted:Third edition was photos of action figures. This is hilarious, but... I'm guessing not actually an intentional joke? Oof. Poser art is awful, but for sheer ubiquity, I think I have to go with manipulated amateur photos (of game designers/their friends in costume, or action figures, or whatever) as the worst trend in bad game art. Even manipulated stock photos are better if the stock photos are half-competent. I know it's really tempting if you've got a lost of costumes and little talent or budget for other art, but stop doing this

There is, uh, a whole lot to unpack with Cyberpunk V3. At times I think I can tell what Pondsmith was trying to do, but I'm just not sure. Has anybody here actually played the drat thing?

FMguru posted:Comics continuity is like a Stretch Armstrong doll - you can twist it, stretch it, tie it in knots, distort it, and it will always revert to its original shape. To be fair, sometimes things do change. Wolverine was original a supervillian, Deadpool was originally a supervillian, Miles Morales is still Spiderman, and the Inhumans are slowly replacing Mutants (kicking and screaming as far as fans are concerned).* *Basically, marvel doesn't have movie rights to mutants, Sony does, so they're downplaying mutants in the comic and giving a lot of spotlight to an often forgotten subgroup of humans that are basically mutants (genetically engineered by aliens).

It's not Sony it's Fox that holds the mutant rights and refuse to let the licenses go.

A number of highly-regarded paleoartists (such as Emily Willoughby) do have DeviantArt pages, however. Incidentally, here's a great blog post by paleontologist Mark Witton on tyrannosaurid integument.

It's stylized but it's better than seeing the generic, cookie cutter poo poo that's been posted. EDIT: It's at least original and not just tracing some porn, a catalog, or someone else's art for their pictures. The fact that Greg Land is still getting work is astounding.

Considering where the plotline goes -- Mole Man falling in love with Squirrel Girl and getting all creepy and obsessed and threatening to destroy the world unless she went on a date with him -- that face is how mine would look when the reality of what I had unleashed sunk in.

There is nothing like opening an issue and finding out you got that one artist who just traces porno actors in on the job that issue. Besides, I like the style.
