Yeah, Say Nothing knows the score. Post some funny panels guys, no one cares about insecure Americans trying to big up their stunningly mediocre, garbage-laden food. :colbert:

I'm not exactly surprised that the ex-games journo would sneak in HK47 and T3-M4 alikes, he used go on about how much he liked them and Kreia back in the day. I give it a dozen issues before a take on G0-T0 shows up too.

If anything, I'd say the Krogan were way more varied and developed than Wookiees. Plus, y'know, Poet Krogan and Posh Gentleman Krogan. Yeah, they're fatalistic as a people in general but mainly because it's been thousands of years of poo poo after poo poo piled on them.

It's certainly some of the ugliest, off-putting, seemingly low effort art I've seen in a book in a good long while an acquired taste. A shame really as the actual scripts seem to be rather fun whenever someone sticks up a page or two in the funny panels thread.

I would - and not just because I like the Squirrel Girl art - but because I also experience profound schadenfreude from the impotent bitching about it that happens every time USG is brought up.

Ghostlight posted:

I don't know, is this lovely opinion ironic? If not, then why would its opposing lovely opinion be? I read an article the other day saying the age of irony is over, so I guess everyone really is this much of a bitch over how legitimately artistic the loving illustrations of a book about a girl who has adventures with a goddamn squirrel are.

You seem angrier than anyone else here about all this, are you okay? All anyone else has said is they don't like the art, you're the only one actively being hostile and seemingly on the verge of a meltdown over it.

I'm conflicted about if this is a "Optimus Prime dies to much" thing, or "Optimus Prime isn't a Headmaster" thing

Of if the fact that Headmaster were a thing is also a joke.

It wasn't Optimus Prime, it was a mindless, fake Optimus Prime head under Shockwave's control until Optimus Prime's actual head got back into range! :eng101:

If that was a reference to the Brother Power post above yours, the Geek was created by Joe Simon, not Jack Kirby.

Kirby definitely did not hate hippies. The Forever People, for example, was basically a love letter to the younger generation of that time, despite the fact that Kirby himself was in his 50s, which would normally be prime time for hating young people. To the latter point, the magic powers Kirby believed hippies had would be optimism and idealism, which just found themselves literalized in his comics in the same way that fascism is literalized in the form of the anti-life equation.

A major theme of the Fourth World--and one that pulls from classical mythology as well; cf. the Titanomachy and Aeschylus's Eumenides--is that each generation learns from the mistakes of its parents and progress moves inexorably on. Orion and Scott Free are better than Darkseid, and the Forever People are even better, as they don't carry even the same prejudices that we see within the New Genesis society.

Awww, I take it all back, he sounds like a genuinely cool and sweet dude, even if he did draw everyone like derpy, swivel-eyed lunatics and give them the dumbest names humanly possible. The world needs more sweethearts like that.

I will never understand American cartoonists' obsession with slapping labels everrrrrrrrrrrrrywhere. I mean, sure, there are some UK ones just as guilty (FFS, Chris Riddle, cut that poo poo out) but holy gently caress, it's another level in the States, every glance in the political cartoons thread is just wall to wall idiocy.

Man, I think I'm done with Rat Queens. The artwork is really just not doing anything for me at all, anymore.

Yeah, the series has been terribly disappointing since the original artist was (quite understandably) sent packing and the writing really wasn't able to take up the slack, it's just kinda lame and mediocre now.

That's a tale on the morality of humanity's use/abuse of animals to serve its needs, right? Presumably it's taken to the awful extreme to really hammer the point across.

Injustice : Ground Zero #15.

Of all the incantations, infernal contracts, and general terrifying magical and otherdimensional powers and diabolical attributes to levy at someone in the DC universe, Zatanna goes for something truly insidious.



That seems rather mild. I vaguely recall reading about some woman who only went every six months.

What's complicated? A fat Goon with no legs and bad hair has a mutant help build him a dumb, lovely looking robot suit for him to superhero in, gets jealous when his girlfriend's dead ex comes back in the bod of a hot, dead demigoddess, gets himself a new set of legs made from dead flesh, goes nuts, fuses with a Tetsuo style monstrosity just in time to see his mutant pal turn his dumb, lovely robot suit into a badass 90s mega morphing mechsuit that shits over anything Tony Stark ever made for breakfast before finally dying an ignomious death. Simples!

My absolute fav moment from a largely wonderful first 100 issues is the story where Cobra trick the US government into detonating a megaton's worth of explosive in the Gulf of Mexico to destroy a sham bunker on the sea bed, resulting in an earthquake that drags a big chunk of land up above sea level. Cobra immediately stake a claim on it and send in a squad of lawyers to the UN for official recognition as a sovereign state, which is granted. It ends with CC gleefully remarking that if you have enough money and buy the best lawyers, you can do anything you want while the Joes dejectedly slink off with their tails between their legs.

For a bunch of AmWay/MLM scammers led by a failed used car salesman from an idea originally spun out from a prospective SHIELD vs HYDRA series, it's bizarre how cool and weird Cobra turned out. I still don't know or get why they palled around with a bunch of swamp dwelling bikers who followed a chameleon ninja and were paid in donuts and grape soda. And I love the nod to Doc Ock's origin with Doctor Mindbender. It's all surprisingly classic mad comics poo poo.

Only a year or so. Absorbing Carol's memories started driving her crazy, so she sought out Xavier for help not long after.

A year? Did she spend all of it trying to kill Dazzler then? I do remember that when Rogue and Allison joined the team, the latter was seemingly always giving Rogue poo poo for it and any excuse to shoot her was eagerly taken.
