He was also a huge rear end in a top hat to her after she declined his advances. We don't really have anything to go on but her word but I really don't see why you'd make up a story like that. I don't really care if Graham is the biggest baby in the world and calls out everyone and their mother on twitter, I don't see in what universe he's worse than a philandering PUA who then goes on to get praised for being a feminist for writing a comic with girls in it.

Martello posted:So is everyone just taking Fowler's word for it? I can believe Wood was trying to pick her up at a con, but maybe she's blowing out of proportion for revenge purposes. I dunno, I just think that the twitter accusation stuff has gotten out of hand at this point. Someone tweets something and all of a sudden it's gospel. Maybe if you looked into it at all instead of trying to justify buying comics from a poo poo dude you'd see there's a mountain of evidence at this point that Wood is a piece of poo poo who creeps on young women in comics and literally drove one out of the medium.

God Of Paradise posted:How do you all feel abotu Brian Azzerrello's run on Hellblazer? I'm going back through the series from 1 to 300, and I'm just kind of noticing how bizarre his run is. I hate it. Some people love it. I hated it so bad that it halted my Hellblazer marathon when I initially read the series, and it took me over a year to force myself to power through the rest of his issues after the prison arc. It was like passing a kidney stone. Easily the worst run the comic's had.  This is maybe the most painful and obnoxious writing I've seen in a comic since Michael Fleischer worked on Conan.

You'll have to do a lot worse than heavy-handed criticism of America and capitalism to come close to The Town That hosed Dogs.

Mister Roboto posted:The Boys works if you hate a lot of Superhero tropes and cliches. Otherwise it'll come across as trying too hard. I don't know, I'd imagine people who hate superhero comics aren't really interested in a comic that just takes superhero stuff and then has someone poop on it and call it gay. I'd wager they'd rather read something good that's devoid of superheroes.

Pope Guilty posted:Somebody needs to inform Ennis that Americans don't say "bloody" or "arse". There's seriously a ton of exchanges between supposedly American characters that Ennis has written that don't make any sense whatsoever unless you assume they're secretly british. I find Ennis to be capable of writing very profound and interesting stuff but his sense of humor is seriously more juvenile than South Park and he has really obnoxious writing tics even beyond the insanely warped view of pubs as some kind of cultural balm, the inability to write people who aren't british, the obsession with equating sexual potency with moral character and power, the repeated and protracted use of sexual deviancy as a way of dehumanizing villains, the over the top gore, and the junior high view of romance and love. Sometimes I'll read something by Ennis and go "Hell yeah" or kinda laugh or find it poignant. But other times I'll read something like The Boys and kinda wish he'd stop writing forever.

Mister Roboto posted:I see why some people dislike him, though I think part of that may be a bit of self-loathing as it reminds them of when they were younger and angrier and it brings back uncomfortable memories of "Ugh I was such a dumbass teenager." Nah, man, Ellis reminds me of being a dumb teen. Ennis reminds me of the guys in my grade who beat up the skinny kid with Tourette's so bad that he missed a week of school.

It's weird, because for me the stuff that was hard to get through came much later: Azzarello's run was insufferable, to the point that it put me off the series for the better part of a year, until I forced myself to power through. I thought Diggle's run was pretty bad and had a very small-minded approach to the character's history, too. Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like if Ellis had been able to stay on as full time writer like he was originally supposed to. This was back when he was at the top of his game, after all.

Azzarello and Diggle's issues are by far the worst ones in the entire series. Diggle's is mostly bad because it takes elements introduced by better writers and changes them into a frankly adolescent take on the character and his history. Azzarello's is simply written horrendously.

I once showed a few panels of Azzarello's Hellblazer to a friend, and he didn't believe me that it was real dialogue written by a professional writer.

I think DC editorial trying its best to get rid of Vertigo as a line is probably the main reason Vertigo is doing poorly.

I tried to marathon read the series and Azzarello's run was so loving bad it stopped me cold for like a year. Andy Diggle's run is also bad in that it goes and retcons some interesting aspects of John's history and makes it a lot more juvenile and 2002-era webcomic-y.

Movie Constantine was different enough from the source material that it was fun and could stand on its own. TV Hellblazer is close enough to the comic version that it's frustrating how much of it is off.
