drrockso20 posted:It's kinda amazing how big of a middle finger to Superhero comics Irredeemable is(behind only Wanted and The Boys) when Mark Waid is normally a pretty big superhero fanboy as far as I can tell, but then again it's almost impossible to write a pisstake on Superheroes without coming off like a douchebag(Watchmen, Miracleman, Supergod, and certain aspects of 90's era Valiant are the only straight examples where this works as far as I'm aware of), probably cause it just almost always comes off as too mean spirited and bleak to have any value left to it This is why Astro City is so amazing. Instead of being all "superheroes are stupid and here is a whole thesis story why" it actually explores the kind of optimism and wonder it would be like to live in a world of superheroes.

I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be the touching/inspiring thread, and even though this isn't a panel, it should belong here.

Superman: Secret Identity was pretty good at explaining why someone might need...well a secret identity. Mostly due to the government might wanting to own/operate/control the most powerful being on earth and not let him have a life of his own.

mind the walrus posted:Something about the composition makes me read Magneto as all smug about his past trauma, like he can't wait to pull out that card whenever he starts being a rampaging dickhead against humans. He says it in the same inflection of "actually it's pronounced 'kin-wah'" Yea, the way he is standing and with the arms folded make it look like he is more smug about it then anything else. Reading the passage without the pictures is fine, but the artwork/composition is wonky.

Endless Mike posted:I want to hear more cool stuff about Kingdom Come, but this isn't really the right thread for it. Maybe move to the DC thread? Or make a thread just for KC? You could always do a Let's Read thread, though those haven't been terribly successful in the past and most everyone's read KC by this point, I'd imagine. Seconding this, but probably in a different thread. All these small details are awesome.

Fuego Fish posted:You know, I love how they wrote this big, convoluted storyline in order to retcon away Peter and MJ's marriage so that Spider-Man would be "more relateable to the reader" and then within ten years of that, he's the head of a multinational corporation. Judging by the panels above (I haven't read the comics) there was also a period of time where his body was taken over by the mind of one of his enemies and that is why he can't date that woman. I can totally relate.

purple death ray posted:It was very different. Harvey was cured and had his face fixed but he started dating a woman who turned out to have a twin, and that fact alone started the cracks in his psyche. The twin turned out to be manipulative and homicidal and starts turning Harvey back towards the dark side. Batman: Black and White Vol. 1 I always preferred Two-Face as the conflicted villain more than the outright villain. The fact that he depends on his coin a lot pushes into this a lot. I really don't like the outright villain crime boss angle a lot of writers go with.

Just finished reading Blue is the Warmest Colour and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to read some good graphic novels. I wanted to post the last few pages but: A. I just returned it back to the library B. GIS isn't really pulling much except the first few pages (in French) and the more....explicit....pages of the book. But really the whole thing would probably fit in with this thread and I really do suggest people check it out.

Lurdiak posted:Batman Adventures #33. Bruce Wayne decides to take a day off from being Batman and spend some time with a woman he genuinely cares about, and takes her and her kid to the movies. Still hold that TAS Batman(in all iterations) is the best Batman. I have always heard that the Batman: TAS comics were surprisingly excellent reads, and I should probably look for them.

Kammat posted:Way the country's been going, I needed a little dose of idealism to remember that we're not always so horrible. Sandman #54 had an excellent retelling of the original Prez story and it's always been a favorite. The ending always gets me. You could pretty much post the entire issue. I love that the core idea of it is America as an ideal worth chasing, rather than reality worth suffering. It is really one of my favourite Sandman stories.

I used to love love love Garfield as a kid and would re-read the collections so many times. The cartoons were great too (and if want some tears watch the 9 Lives of Garfield cartoon for some well deserved tears) and that strip posted above hit the right spot. Given Davies admiration for fan stuff, and even off beat stuff like Garfield without Garfield, I could see him really appreciating that fan strip.

I remember reading that comic. It is one of my earliest memories of reading any comic ever. I think it was Pan's flute that made him sprout horns and then he decided to dress up as Batman and fight crime because he could fit the horns under Batman's cowl.

Open Marriage Night posted:Right after that he said he doesn’t like Taika’s humor. That’s where I stopped reading. Admittedly I haven't seen JoJo Rabbit yet (between the criticism of the film that I have read and just having finished some very heavy reading about the Holocaust seeing the movie that the AV Club compared to Life is Beautiful didn't really appeal to me) but I would say What We Do in Shadows best exemplifies Taika's humour.
