I think the problem is that there's too many titles. When nu52 happened, Barnes and Noble, the biggest American chain store, carried all the new DC titles. briefly. Now they're down to like, five.

this is the cover, I should have known better but I am dumb


its about these characters going to a gay pride parade. There's a bunch of animal people sex in it.

Fun fact, those are characters from the artist's pornographic webcomic. That's just a SFW portion of a furry porno.

I just read the premise of Insexts, and it sounds cool. I'd read Insexts if it was called literally anything else

Anybody here read Conqueror of the Barren Earth? It's on old DC 4 issue mini. The first issue, it's the future, a spaceship is sent out to rediscover Earth. It gets attacked by aliens, gets blowed up, the single survivor is a short haired blonde lady who allies with a couple tribes and decides to unite the Earth against the aliens. It ends on a cliff hanger with her captured by this barbarian warlord. I read it, and was like, holy poo poo, this owns. Why did this not go anywhere? The really need to bring back Conqueror of the Barren Earth!

Second issue. The barbarian demands the blonde lady be his bride, she tries to kill him, so he makes her his slave. Makes her walk along the mounted tribe, makes her wear a sexy harem lady outfit, etc. ends with her proclaiming her love for him and begging to be his bride. Not even a wink to the audience or a "I need him to think he's broken me" thought bubble.

So I guess that's why nobody talks about it, no one read past the second issue

I saw that there was a new Badger series starting, and I was like, "pfft who the gently caress cares about the Badger?" But then I googled the Badger, and, uhhh

quote:

Badger was mostly set in Madison, Wisconsin, where Capital Comics was situated, and where Baron lived. The lead character was Norbert Sykes, a Vietnam war veteran suffering from multiple personality disorder. "The Badger", an urban vigilante who could talk to animals, was just one of his personalities. Bizarrely, he would often call people "Larry", and it was later revealed that "Larry" was the name of his father who left his mother when Norbert was five. His mother remarried Rollin Sykes who physically abused Norbert. After escaping from a mental institution, Norbert met a 5th-century Druid named Ham (Hammaglystwythkbrngxxaxolotl in full), who had just awakened from an 800-year coma (this was later corrected in dialogue where it was noted that Ham's coma lasted 1500 years). Ham took the Badger in as a boarder in his castle in return for the Badger's bodyguard services. Other characters included Norbert's caseworker Daisy, Vietnamese martial arts expert (and Norbert's wife) Mavis, and Lord Weterlackus, a demon who empowered Ham until they had a falling out. Prior to his coma, Ham would sacrifice children in his castle in Wales (Ham was placed in a mystical coma for 1500 years by all the other wizards), but after his resurrection he would sacrifice animals (which enraged the Badger) or computer files. Ham would use his power over weather to influence markets and generate wealth for himself; occasionally his supernatural dealings would bring him into conflict with demons, whom the Badger would then be called upon to fight.

Is The Badger the best comic book ever? Because that makes it sound like the best comic book ever.

Did the Amalgam guys run out of ideas by the time they got to JLX? Impulse combined with Quicksilver, Namor combined with Aquaman.

I mean, that's not even Amalgaming anymore.

Seriously, a gritty, street-level police procedural about the cops, the criminals and the civilians of Gotham, and every now and then the loving Bat-Thing flies in and melts the bad guys face

It's bad when people die, and my sympathies go out to Antonin Scalia's family and loved ones. It's good that he's no longer in a position of legal authority, tho.

I noticed Deadpool has ads plastered on Mikes Hard. I wasn't aware movies could advertise that way until today.
