Archyduke posted:I guess it's hard not to read these scenes today in light of his first arc of Crossed (which I believe is the last Ennis I read): he seems to think that the world is a hard and cruel place, but that's a good thing, and that people too sensitive or not "masculine" enough are destined to be humiliated and punished by it, and that's hysterically funny because everyone around them secretly hates them anyway. I mean, look-- The Boys prominently featured a dog that raped people and this was all generally framed as an instrument of karmic and comedic justice. That's just not a world-view I can play along with. Maybe I'm just bitter because I know I'd last two pages in a Garth Ennis comic before a grizzled man in a black trenchchoat knee-capped me for vague reasons. He is from Northern Ireland.

It would've been slightly before that. The joke is that it's a Geoff Johns trademark and the first I can recall him doing it is an issue of Hawkman from 2003 or so where Hawkman hacks off the Matter Master's arm with an axe.

It's too bad Roscoe Lee Browne never got a chance to play the Kingpin in live-action. That's still the voice I imagine for the Kingpin. Another deceased actor who would've played a great Kingpin: Maury Chaykin.

Lurdiak posted:Trump may be a stupid, racist, selfish, self-deluded rear end in a top hat, but he never dressed up in a goblin costume and threw bombs at people/girls off bridges. I mean, I'm not saying he won't. But so far he hasn't. Probably just can't find one that fits him.

prefect posted:Not Paul Neary? I'm not going by any actual knowledge -- I just remember seeing "Davis/Neary" in credits a lot. I know Neary did a lot of work with Davis, but having checked Wikipedia, I think Farmer inked him on Excalibur (as well as stuff like ClanDestine, Fantastic Four: The End and JLA: The Nail/Another Nail). Edit: Having double-checked, I see that both Neary and Farmer inked Davis on Excalibur but I'm not sure when. Based on the look of them, I'd say those pages are Farmer, so Neary must have inked the run when Claremont was writing. Wheat Loaf fucked around with this message at 19:13 on Sep 29, 2017 |

Okay, so this is another one from Star Wars Tales #2 I found when I was looking for the last one I posted. It's a take on a very old story but I thought it was really cool when I was little so whatever.

IronSaber posted:The old story being the guy who was smuggling bicycles across the Berlin Wall, right? Or somesuch variation, I imagine. The version I've heard is a slightly different (it was a guy stealing wheelbarrows by filling them with sawdust to trick his boss into thinking he'd hidden something under it) but that's the gist of it.

Like the previous one, these panels are only "badass" inasmuch as they always made me grin when I was little: Context: Lando Calrissian has been challenged to a card game by the Baron Administrator of Cloud City; he's just lost everything because one of his various rivals bribed the dealer to cheat on the Baron's behalf:    Star Wars Tales #3

Taintrunner posted:Man, Star Wars Tales started out so good. I really liked what they were able to fill in around that series. Here's some pages from Star Wars Tales #4. The context is that it takes place during ESB. The guy Vader is fighting is supposedly a bounty hunter who was late for the meeting in the movie, but he's actually an assassin targeting Vader:       I don't really like this one as much today but I thought it was cool when I was a kid.

Pureauthor posted:I thought that was Kaine during his edgy phase who did that? Nah, this was from Howard Mackie's run on Spider-Man with John Romita Jr. where Venom tried to join the Sinister Six, then for some reason (I can't remember why) decided to go after them and kill them. He ate part of Sandman, I think he beat up Electro, then he stabbed Kraven. It was abandoned for some reason (I can't remember why) when Eddie decided to reconnect with his ex-wife, then it tied into the boring, meandering Senator Ward storyline.

ManiacClown posted:I realized something earlier today. I don't know if it's intentional, but Joseph being Dredd's first name means his initials are J.D.— just like what Americans call a law degree (Juris Doctor, as opposed to Bachelor of Laws/LL.B. like the U.K.). I really wonder if that's a coincidence. JD degrees aren't really awarded in the UK; you could take one at my old university (Queen's University Belfast) but I think it might be the only place in the country that offers them. It's probably a coincidence.

Gavok posted:It's been posted in the touching panels thread, but there's a really good short story taking place during Empire where Vader is in a room with the disassembled pieces of C3PO and has a flashback to working on him with his mother. It's mainly remembered for an awesome panel after the flashback of Vader silently holding C3PO's forehead against his own. "Thank the Maker" from Star Wars Tales #6 all the way back in the year 2000. Here's the page in question if anyone hasn't seen it:

Evil Mastermind posted:A similar thing happened in the JLA story done by Claremont and Byrne, only instead of getting nuked by solar energy, the vamp in question just went "Ptoo! Ew, gross, alien blood!" and that was kinda it. The vampire's name was "Crucifer". Crucifer.

Gavok posted:There's a What If about that story and when he's doing this bit, he's ranting and raving. In the middle of his ramblings, he says, "Why am I doing this?" before going back to his nonsense and I always found that especially creepy. Is that the "What if Kraven had killed Spider-Man?" one? I think that's the meanest What If of them all.

Did Ultimatum have the line, "If she's the mother... then I'm the motherfucker!" or was that Ultimates 3? Ultimatum was also where Ultimate Strange was introduced... so he could get messily killed off.

There's also a bit where Professor X is responsible for keeping the mutants under government control and he's done poo poo like amputate Quicksilver's legs. The bit where it shows a newspaper with a photograph of Galactus's corpse and the headline "GOD FOUND DEAD IN SPACE" is where it verges into parody territory.

Unlucky7 posted:The only reason he did agree to it was that Sue called him a coward. Seriously. It's crazy that the past 50 plus years of FF have all been "YA MADE ME A MONSTER, REED!" / "I MADE BEN A MONSTER, READERS!" but that detail's been almost completely forgotten. I certainly can't think of any comment where Sue's like, "Yeah, I guilted you into it by calling you chicken. My bad, sorry."

Best thing about the original Morlun story: in his first appearance, he feeds on a nameless German superhero; a few issues later, there was a letter from a reader asking, "What was the name of the German superhero Morlun ate?" and the reply was, "Lunch."
