Say Nothing posted:The real Archie comics had so much weird innuendo, there's entire tumblrs dedicated to it. I don't know what's weirder about that frame--that someone (Archie?) won't wear pants, or that Jughead is enraged about it. Frankly, him enraged about anything is weird.

This very situation became a running gag on Batman: Brave and the Bold. It was usually G'nort who would exclaim about the one punch knock out though, as Ted was long replaced by Jaime at that point.

If you read ASB&R as Frank Miller writing Batman as if he was always written the way everyone was writing him at the time the book came out (and remember this was during the whole Spoiler-Robin era where everything had to be awful) then it goes from being unintentionally funny to being completely intentionally funny. And almost an apology from Miller for being directly responsible for ruining Batman for everyone. Heck, after "The goddamned Batman" became a meme, he only put it in the script more.

Yeah, I've only read a review summary of the Youngblood story, but it seemed like a good idea, blossoming ideas hinted at in the Supreme run about ramifications from the fictional previous ages of the Image super universe. Unfortunately, rather than following the Supreme run's style of having very carefully chosen art styles to create a love letter to all of comics history, Rob just drew the stuff himself and undercut all the quality.

Ghostlight posted:Other than the Future Sports™ most of 2000AD holds up. I've so far read the first 75 issues of the book in the last year (I do everything sloooowly) and the future sports aren't too bad besides the point where they literally recycled their own plot, having the exact same characters try to sabotage the team in the exact same ways. It's stuff like Shako that feels uninspired and a waste of space to me.

Prison Warden posted:I'd forgotten Shako so much I had to look up what it was. I'm really just glad that sometimes wiki writers have a sense of humour. To be fair, that wiki really isn't wrong. It's pretty predictable, with each issue's story pretty much being "mustache twirling jackass gets his gun/vehicle/whatever to go kill the drat bear. He slips or something, and the bear eats him. end." There's a subplot about 2/3rds in where this craphead kid Eskimo decides to be nice to the bear and protect him, despite the fact that the bear's already killed like fifty people. Several people die because of that boy. Like I said, I'm about 75 progs in now (and have a LOT to go) and I'm already seeing a pattern. Good stories they write more and more until the writer's clearly tired of it (Judge Dredd never ends). Crummy stories (usually filled with overly obvious plots and that selfsame overnarration) might last like, 8 or 10 installments. I suspect this will remain true to today's progs.

Speaking of PSA tie in comics, I had a bunch of old Popeye Career Path comics we found by the school's dumpster when I was a kid. Basically it's Popeye and the gang teaching high schoolers about what jobs they might look into to make things easy for guidance counselors. Then there's the lady cops that have to try to convince hookers to go straight.

I'll allow Zack Morris. There's A. the time freezing ability already discussed, and discounting that, B. recall that the original League led by Gulliver had Fanny Hill on it, and all she did in either her original story or Moore's version was go on vagina-based adventures. (as much as I love everything LoEG, Moore really shouldn't have written Lost Girls and Black Dossier so close together. The sex level starts getting silly and at times a little insulting to the original characters. The Blakeneys becoming bisexual swinging sex maniacs in particular.) Also side note, the paintings in the back are supposed to be representative of past singular characters, and not necessarily ones in the League. Note the 80's image has all iconic 70s people in the backdrop.

Perhaps the voice samples too, it's been some time. And man, I totally thought both were several years older than 1992. I couldn't have been already twelve when they came out? I thought they were firmly 80s products...

Random Stranger posted:What? Don't you like Clive Barker's Razorline? I never read Hyperkind, and I only got a few issues into Hokum and Hex mostly out of laziness, but what I did read of Razorline was pretty good. First of course there's the Harrowers spin off of Hellraiser using the characters from Clive Barker's story in the original comic, which is great because these guys are terrible at their job. Like, New Guardians level terrible. And after just a few issues up and quit. Barker himself has used the term "Harrowers" for people who fight Pinhead several times since. Then there's Saint Sinner, totally unrelated to the syfy channel original movie some years back besides the name. In it a dude is possessed by both an angel and a demon. He initially gets thrown in alien jail and during the escape attempt he dicks over one of the prisoners just cause the devil side tells him to. But shortly after that the series gets all kinds of trippy and weird. Ectokid is about a dude in NOLA whose father was a ghost. He wears an eyepatch and when he switches eyes for it can see and interact with the ghost world. It was pretty good, and crossed over with Saint Sinner at one point. Started out written by James Robertson, and then later the Wachowskis took over. Hyperkind seemed dumb. Just an average "group of teens get superpowers and go up against shadowy agency" deal. Most of the characters on that poster are from that. I should go back and read Hokum & Hex. It was really good and post modern, skewering the medium. This average schmo somehow gets powers cosmic, but his day job is as a gag style magician, so like, he fights threats with card tricks and rubber chickens. Meanwhile, there's some great ideas in there like, the earth about to be taken over by a race of religious fundamentalist missionaries that are super polite and kind to everyone, or then an intergalactic bounty hunter that's totally not Angela from Spawn that is completely inept and hopes catching the protagonist will make her finally get a real career...it's a lot of fun.

Don't recognize the big yellow one. I could be mistaken, but I think the yellow guy is the wonderfully named "Gorkill Corpus", one of those over-polite missionary alien invaders, who decides he actually thinks life on earth is pretty nifty and defects, becoming a good guy.

We're talking about how we got into comics now? Well early on my grandparents on both sides had random assortment of stuff for the grandkids to waste time with, including comics. I'd get random like, Disney comics as cheapo gifts that I'd read, and they'd have ratty old Tarzan or Lois Lane comics which I read the hell out of (the former even had cool extra features like a ape-to-man translation guide). However, as a little brother, the phases my older brother went through often had much longer effects on me than they did on him. There's lots that I still am fanatical about that were passing crazes to him, like punk or goth music, or horror movies. In the 80s he got into comics at random, but wasn't very picky about it. He would grab whatever covers looked cool, caring less about over-arching stories. At the time, as my mom was taking both of us to the LCBS, I would end up getting things based on if they looked funny, like Groo, or Captain Carrot, or "Mazin Man, or Ambush Bug. I regret none of those purchases. Later I would start going through the "adolescent" comic phase, right when X-Men fanaticism was an all time high, and the Image revolution was just starting, so I tried to pay attention to all his old back issues, and I started realizing things could be pretty awesome, and found myself enjoying things like old Avengers back issues, or his random assortment of Transformers comics (including the whole awesome arc where Megatron kills everyone except Ratchet, and then blackmails him into going and digging up the Dinobots in the Savage Land). The rest is history.

I have no idea how to search for the drat things, but my favorite of the cracked doctored spider-man comic strips is the one where Mysterio is gay for Spider-Man, just because it gets exponentially funnier if you read it out loud with proper inflection and timing. "Spider-Man...I'm gay...FOR YOU!" "NO!"
