Heresiarch posted:Paul Pope (from "One Hundred Percent"): While I like Paul Pope in general he has this problem where characters he draws end up kind of... ugly. Not poorly drawn but just kind of ugly in general.

Malachite_Dragon posted:Wait, The City? Both words capitalized? Do I sense a certain big blue loveable dumb-rear end being referenced? The City is Ultimate Reed Richards' plan to conquer the world. He built it and then closed it off for a thousand years of accelerated time and when they reemerged they started loving over the world right quick with their advanced technologies. (you should be reading Hickman's The Ultimates)

al-azad posted:Viz has been reprinting Vagabond in their VIZBIG format which is about 20% larger, contains three volumes in one, has some full color pages, better paper, and extras like character sketches. It's basically like getting a special edition of a graphic novel except they don't charge you out the rear end surprisingly. It actually works out cheaper when you compare regular releases to the collections. Regular volumes are $8-10 while the VIZBIG volumes (which like you said are 3 of the regular volumes) run between $15-20, depending on where you buy them.

DarkCrawler posted:X-Force (that version, at the least) ain't a mainstream comic, exactly. It also isn't "now" considering the comic is over 10 years old. Milligan's X-Force/X-Statix is still a really interesting series though and well worth a read. It deals with superheroes in a corporate/reality TV light and since all of the characters (other than cameos by the Avengers and Prof X) are original creations the book has no problem showcasing just how dangerous being a superhero really could be.

Actually meant this roster of X-Force has a lot of potential if written well, have some nice art of them (even though I'm not a fan of Nemesis' design): Ugh Cable's robot arm looks pretty stupid there. Also, wasn't he dead? (Stupid question, I know.)

Edit: Also I bet Jor-El eventually wished that he didn't shoot so many animals into space and used those parts to build a bigger people rocket.

BetterToRuleInHell posted:Everything about this sentence is awesome and the fact that you close it out with the rodeo cowboy fact is loving amazing. The link on the previous page has Comet's origin in more detail and the best part of the "Centaur turned into a horse" thing is how it was accidentally done by Circe, who was trying to reward Comet by turning him into a human. For some reason when she was whipping up the "turn into a human" potion she also made a "turn into a horse" one at the same time and then messed up which was which.

Random Stranger posted:Imagine reading this as one the first comic book you've ever read. You know all these guys from Superfriends on TV and movies, and then there's Bizarro's backward logic making him commit suicide and Brainiac doing that horrifying scene from Superman III but on Lex Luthor and the story's opening made it very clear that Superman was going to lose and die. That's a comic that will gently caress you up. I'm assuming it wasn't on the original release but I love this bit of text they put at the opening of the collected version. "This is an IMAGINARY STORY (which may never happen, but then again may) about a perfect man who came from the sky and did only good. It tells of his twilight, when the great battles were over and the great miracles long since performed; of how his enemies conspired against him and of that final war in the snowblind wastes beneath the Northern Lights; of the women he loved and of the choice he made between them; of how he broke his most sacred oath, and how finally all the things he had were taken from him save one. It ends with a wink. It begins in a quiet midwestern future. Away in the big city, people still sometimes glance up hopefully from the sidewalks, glimpsing a distant speck in the sky...but no; it's only a bird, only a plane --- Superman died ten years ago. This is an IMAGINARY STORY.... Aren't they all?"

Moore has said that the money for his stuff getting adapted isn't great, which is why he made the decision to not be credited on adaptations any more and just gives the money to the artist.

Speaking of Moore and Veitch they also worked together on Alan Moore's anthology comic Tomorrow Stories. Here's the first page from one. The rest of the comic runs like this with each story of the building in its own time period, eventually all coming together for the end.

It probably wouldn't actually blow up since most rocket launchers have a minimum distance they have to go until they're armed. Would still completely gently caress that guy up though.
