FilthyImp posted:Ennis writing something where a woman/superhero isn't a massive douchenozzle? Or where the superhero makes a positive contribution to the state of things? Ah okay. So it's more a creator joke than a pitch joke. Sorry to be all  about it, I'm just not in the know enough about creators to have caught that. Thank you.

But you wouldn't see him touch a story where Britain is weak, and France is strong. I'm pretty sure he could write a comic called 1066: The Complete & Meticulously Accurate Story, and it would have the Anglo-Saxons steamrolling the Normans with combat knives and Spitfires.

Sorry to be all Garth Ennis tropes include: WW2 Brits are badasses, especially when it comes to fighting Capes suck and nearly exclusively male main characters (with maybe 3 women characters that aren't one-dimensional), none of whom don't have issues. Granted most of his dude characters have issues, too. I love the hell out of him, don't get me wrong, but he's the kind of guy who shoehorns WW2 fighter aces into a modern day Thor comic as the MacGuffin that Beats The Baddie.

You forgot weird romanticizing of pubs as some sort of havens of brotherhood and cheer instead of depressing holes where bitter old men go to forget about their horrible lives.

It's obviously fake, I mean, the art for each character is pulled from a different source. However the positioning is pretty perfect. Sold I'll take 10 #1s sir. TwoPair fucked around with this message at 23:05 on Dec 1, 2015 |

Upon watching a movie based upon a Mark Millar comic book, you pick up the comic book and find it's actually a better told story than the movie! Also you have super-aids which gave you super powers but only if you gently caress as many hookers as possible. You eventually become king of a "bugcatcher" society of people who want to be infected. Surprise, you're in the Mark Millar comic book. The movie version o this meta-tale does not include the super aids plotline because it is obviously loving retarded

DC and Marvel do a crossover, because they're more well known, Rocket and Groot team up with Constantine and Swamp Thing. Also Groot turns out to be quite eloquent in the secret language of the green. Also John manages to successfully punk Doom and make him question his sexuality.

Acclaimed New York neurosurgeon Jericho Drumm is in Miami for a medical conference. Entering his hotel room Jericho finds a black envelope containing two backstage passes to a rap concert. The artist is Drumm Squad - a famous rap group from the 1990's analogous to Wu-Tang Clan. The only difference is that they have appropriated Haitian voodoo culture in the same way that Wu-Tang did Chinese Kung-Fu. After his speech at the conference that afternoon, an old colleague approaches him and they agree to meet for dinner. At dinner we get some background info - the leader of Drumm Squad is DRZA or Daniel Drumm, Jericho's twin brother. They later attend the concert, which is rich with voodoo-laden props and symbology. Afterwards they go back stage and hang out with the Drumm Squad. Daniel and Jericho have a brief argument, but make up, and Daniel takes them out on the town with his crew. Later that night as they pull up to a stoplight, a masked gunman leans out the window of a passing car and shoots DRZA in the head. End of issue 1. The primary conflict in the story would be a sort of "Odd Couple" scenario where Jericho is haunted by Daniel's ghost and they have completely different personalities. Daniel is steeped in black voodoo and urban street culture, while Jericho has proudly elevated himself in the white man's world. Jericho is refined, ivy league educated, top of his class. Daniel dropped out of high school and started selling mixtapes in parking lots at 17. Both of them grew up as poor Haitian refugees, but found success in wildly different ways. Jericho represents modern science. Daniel represents ancient magic and street knowledge. Together they must fight the forces of evil.

Not going to lie, that sounds like it has the potential to be genuinely interesting.

The New and the Next Trying to return to the 'present' after saving Earth from the Borg from assimilating Earth in the 21st century, the crew of the USS Enterprise finds themselves shifted to a Sentinel controlled alternate reality of another universe's 21st century. Pulled there by an old mutant named Illyana, she sends the Enterprise back in time to the late 20th century to help her and her fellow mutant friends when they were teenagers by preventing the government from using stolen files on the Transmode Virus from being deployed in their Sentinel technology.

The Amazing Asylum of Spider Ham Spider Ham, famous superhero, juggles a busy life of crime fighting, charity work, and public speaking. He's thinking about running for State Senate. Except James Erwin seems to be the only one in the world who notices that Spider Ham is not the superhero the world believes in. He's literally an ordinary pig, but the entire city of New York and perhaps the world seem enthralled with him, staring at him for 50 minutes in catatonic silence while he "gives a speech," his charitable works consist of sitting near an orphanage and eating garbage, and when he is nearby criminals turn themselves in without question, accusing Spider Ham of superheroics. Has the whole world gone mad? James Erwin is the one man who has pierced the veil, and is working to uncover the mysterious hold this unspecial pig has placed upon the city. With his first Comics Debut, written by M. Night Shyamalan! in issue 6 it is revealed that James Erwin is actually the only crazy one and the entire thing is the delusion of a man in the psych ward
