Unkempt posted:Alan Moore has written some pretty fun superhero comics. Supreme, Tom Strong, 1963, his Superman stuff spring to mind (unless I'm forgetting any rapiness in those). He has a wide range that people seem to forget. People also seem to forget that Moore didn't invent "dark" superhero comics. With the popularity of books like O'Neill's GL/GA, Miller's Daredevil and Moench's Moon Knight, that trend towards "realism" was already there. Watchmen was written in part as a response to those sort of books, a case of "OK, you want realistic superheroes..." Killing Joke was dark-for-the-sake-of-dark shite though and if people were pointing the finger at that instead of Watchmen I'd be behind them 100%. Heck, even Moore would as he's said himself that Bolland's art is the only worthwhile thing about it. But you're right, people do tend to forget 1963, Supreme, etc.

Heathen posted:I probably would have enjoyed it more had I not spoiled myself, but that was kinda bland. The creative teams on the new books are disappointing. Two Abnett books? I'll give King's Batman and Rucka's Wonder Woman a shot. Yeah the new teams are mainly the same old crap. Not of fan of Snyder myself but his book will at least look pretty with all the talent working on it. I am a King fan but his book will look like warmed-up rear end when Finch is on art duties so I'll give that a miss. WW should be great though. But for the rest... Shifting deckchairs on the Titanic comes to mind. Tynion, Vendetti, Abnett, Lobdell.... Yawn. Same crop of mainly mediocre artists... Course there are some new names in the mix that I'm not familiar with so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
