A writer noting in an interview about his comic that he likes something good about it: Marvel trying to befog the minds of the masses into accepting racism and misogyny as the eternal status quo, as part of an elaborate con to gain praise for defying same.

Edge & Christian posted:Bro we can't all just crib like five Rockford Files episodes together redundantly and hope people love our artist enough to ignore it bro Not sure which Hawkeye run you're talking about here, but Rockford Files went off the air when Jeff Lemire was 3 and Matt Fraction was 4, so I kind of doubt that either has that kind of familiarity it. You have some weird narrative pareidolia.

He achieved closure, and can move on with his life. But superhero genre stuff doesn't thrive on subtlety, so it's closure expressed as dropping the garbage file into his heart-gibson.

Welp I could wait for SirDan3k to come clarify what he meant, but that's not the  ethos, so here come my words!!!!!I think he meant that he disliked the rigamarole of debuting a new status quo enough back in the day, when it would take one to maybe three issues; now, it takes a full five or six issue arc to lay out a new status quo, and that's

It would actually raise the stakes as I believe editorial might let a random city or a town or a couple of blocks get destroyed. The stakes might count as too low, in this case, because it's a Canadian "city", but there's always this!

Codependent Poster posted:Guardians is fun as hell right now.  The best thing about Bendis comics is the level of trust in the art. Dude demonstrably has zero problem covering a whole two-page spread with words, but he still knows how to shut up and let like 20 panels of facial expressions/body language talk instead. Ellis lets the art do the storytelling, too, but Bendis relies on emotional realism and conversational exchanges for so much of his stuff that I'm way more impressed with how he does it.

I don't think we're going to empirically prove his feelings about the story wrong. For what it's worth, I didn't love Annihilation until maybe my third or fourth readthrough. Like CtH implies for himself, I also didn't feel like the story made the stakes feel real. There was some kind of narrative bokeh going on, where all the personal struggles came through, but the cosmic existential stuff all floated in the blurry emotional distance. After a few reads, I guess the subtler, vaguer indications of space gehenna finally started to mean something to me.

Bendis is an honest-to-god great comic writer, whose style is unsuited to modern superhero comics. He can't write a blockbuster action scene to save his life, his relationship with continuity is casual at best, and he can't hold on to a subplot (except for emotional arcs). But his strengths—character work, stylistic dialogue, ability to play to collaborator strengths —are so ridiculously strong, I'll take the genre/style mismatch.

Off-the-cuff hot take: Her power should be to change things to their opposite: good fortune to bad, evolution to extinction, health to sickness, victory to despair. There, she has witchy effects (My most productive cow—she gives no milk anymore!) and it's both more specific than whatever she's had any time I've almost cared that she exists, and broad enough to justify most bullshit she's done in the past 50 years.

Blockhouse posted:it's absolutely not important what Fury said Eeeh, maybe. Aaron opened his run with a  examination of the what it means to be a god and what can end godhood, and the Young/Mighty/King split makes story-hay of the life journey of Thor Odinson. This run cares a lot about who Odinson is, how he got that way, and what that means for his relationship to the world(s) and to people. Even if Fury's exact statement doesn't matter, I think it's important for the reader to get some insight into what happened in Odinson's mind that made unworthy—and what makes Jane worthy to be a god.

It's weird how much of that run ended up repeated later in some manner. It prefigures a lot of the Aaron run, especially, in broad strokes if not in thematic detail.

Dario the Wop posted:Totally Awesome Hulk is pretty good. Pak has become a writer on par with Busiek, PAD, and others whose work I follow. The artwork by Cho is of course beautiful (I love monsters, so I'm biased). For most of my life I believed the only one that can write a good Hulk is the aforementioned PAD, to the point where I didn't read Planet Hulk/World War Hulk until years later, and I was very happy to be proven wrong. Jesus Christ I love that coloring.
