Evil Mastermind posted:Hitman #52: otherdimensional entities known as the Many-Angled Ones are poised to destroy Gotham, and then the world. Standing in their way is Six-Pack, a delusional drunk who thinks he's a superhero. Without context, I find myself wondering whether the demons are taking this seriously, or they're being mocking.

Norrin used to be a scientist. Galactus made the board. Maybe he found it funny.

CoolCab posted:Origin story of being dunked in a vat of mystery chemicals. He invented, probably involves some exposure to, joker venom, regularly hangs out with people who indiscriminately sprays a cocktail of aerosolized narcotics and god knows what else and is constantly being tranquilized, drugged, chemically straightjacketed by Arkham and shot with whatever ''antidote'' Batman feels it's necessary to inject him with that week. Oh, and he goes house hunting in carnival themed superfund sites. He's also meant to be glow-in-the-dark, but no one remembers it. http://comicsalliance.com/bizarro-back-issues-joker-public-luna-tic-number-one-1969/

This can be said as cool-you don't get more 'underdog' than Spider-Man vs even a former Herald of Galactus. It's also cited as an example of 'author's favourite wins' or something like that-since SPider-Man won that battle, which can be rightly said to be insane. Now, they did try to 'explain' it even then. He wasn't here for anything but a hot dog, so he wasn't fighting.

You should send that to the writer, if you ain't already. On a side note, I know I have heard these sayings-"Kill six billion demons, become one", "Kill six billion demons, become a god", "Reach Heaven by Violence" before. In religion or philosophy. Yet the major thing that comes up on a search is the comic. Am I going mad?

Lurdiak posted:Since when does Joker have sick acrobatic skills? Is everyone just Spider-man now? God knows. Even Dark Knight Returns had Joker being smart more than a fighter, though he did break his own neck, which is....work. It's like [whoever] saw Injustice and decided 'I want Joker to work like this'. It's....not the worst, I guess, but it misses the point. He's not the Clown Prince of Crime by being a thug, even if he's very capable of random, shocking violence meted out arbitrarily.

Ra's, Bane, Joker I don't know for sure, Riddler's been mentioned, Catwoman(Who also revealed her ID to him)...I don't think anyone else that I can recall. Which is still probably too many.

Two things: 1. I am hearing some combination of Marvel Heroes Loki and Valkyrie Profile Loki with Old Loki. Like, listen to "The True Nature of All", and tell me it doesn't go with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-gGaszqikI 2.What is going on with Old Loki's mouth? He could conceivably take off Young Loki's head in one bite, I swear it. And his lips are completely gone!(There's probably a Chew the Scenery joke here, but...)

Alacron posted:Likewise, this is why I hate stuff like Superman worshipping Kryptonian gods and studying Kryptonian martial arts. It's trying to make Superman more alien just so it can... I don't know, make him a unique special snowflake? He's a man/being who's former culture was utterly destroyed. He has so little of his old culture left, he wants to learn more of it. Maybe take it up a little. Just to have it. Just so it survives just a little, even if it ends up merged with other things(Like equating Rao with God). Because he can't just let it die out. It doesn't make him less human. If anything, that's the human reaction. I mean, a Fortress of Solitude might be big and fancy and 'Oh, he's got lots of it left!' but in the end, it still isn't. I dunno. I see where you're coming from, and it's fine and true. But I also see "The man has NOTHING. It's GONE, so completely that there's not even history books to be re-written. He dies, that's it. Gone for good. That's gotta be something he thinks about." Bloodly fucked around with this message at 16:09 on Aug 26, 2015 |

Featuring inking from other beloved BSS artist, Jim Steranko! Huh. New Fury L Jackson was never new. It's his old deisgn. That explains a bit.

Lurdiak posted:There was this comic I read a couple years back where a bunch of Jedi set a trap for Vader, and he manages to kill a couple and even uses the dark side to make one of them lose his poo poo and kill another dude, but in the end he gets overwhelmed and has to be bailed out by like 50 stormtroopers, because he's still just one man. Then he gets kinda mopey about the emperor spreading rumors about how he single-handedly killed 3x the amount of jedi there actually was. I remember reading that one. It was minorly interesting because it was, in my experience, one of the few times you see 'Palpatine as mentor', that you never really get.

WickedHate posted:This feels like it subverts the powerlessness and cowed subservience Vader exhibits in Return of the Jedi. I've only been able to glean little pieces of the newer comics, but it's all....weird. Half the time Vader's massively needy and Palpatine can't put up with him being so(Fair enough, being a broken man will do that, as is the 'I'm sick of your poo poo, Vader'), and half the time Palpatine is openly pushing him to break further, and/but the two are so antagonistic it's a wonder Vader held himself from killing him for so long, power difference or not. I feel...there's something missing.

Glagha posted:You know there were just a bunch of pages posted of spiderman being good at everything and everyone being amazed at how cool and awesome he is and he's also funny and poo poo talks everyone all the time. If he was anyone other than spiderman he'd be insufferable. I know one comic that went into why he's constantly quipping, briefly. It's either that or be peeing himself in sheer terror. His own words/thoughts, not mine. I read this once, but I don't have a scan to prove it(I think I either read the thing in a store or from the library). I hate when that happens. This was about the time he was a teacher, I think, so it was a little while back.

It'd be more likely it would give him the ability to make various poisons and weird potions and such within him, depending on the plants. But that would be loving dangerous if it didn't come with immunity to said poisons.

It's good to see Orion the Thinker. I mean, I know that his battle prowess and his inherent rage are big things with him. But it's nice to see more than that. He's his father's son, now. Both of them, really.

VanSandman posted:My favorite part of the page is that the basic punctuation mark used is ! This is God War. Gods fighting, gods dying. This is booming, strong voices all over the place, especially in the narration. Not necessarily gruff, but loud. We are in full mythology territory, where Good is Good, Evil is Evil and everything sounds like a prophecy. Not to say it lacks character depth, of course. Take the ever-reposted "I AM the storm." of Darkseid to a regular dude. Or that Orion bit just above. Sure, he's not all ! there, but there's still that quality in the text. It's all 'real', all earnest. This stuff is not a joke, or being silly. How can I put it....the character Dr.Orpheous is a parody of Dr.Strange. When Orpheous says things, it's funny and ridiculous. When Strange is saying stuff, it's serious and how he is, given what he's always dealing with, even when he's being more casual. This is too many words on it, perhaps. Part of me thinks "You could probably write a book on this sort of thing." Part of me wonders if there already IS one. Bloodly fucked around with this message at 07:14 on Apr 17, 2018 |
