haitfais posted:I used to speak highly of Quiver and Guardian Devil, but it turns out that was mostly because I was fairly young when I read them. I revisited them when my podcast did a feature episode on Smith a couple years ago, and they didn't hold up at all. They're better than his Batman stuff (his most recent burrito fart is better than his Batman stuff,) but still really sloppy. It's really obvious that they're some of his earliest comic work, because they're hopelessly, hilariously dependent on narration boxes. Especially Guardian Devil. Drawing from memory, so there may be some exaggeration here, but there were pages in that book with more caption boxes than art. Guardian devil is also super remember this awesome story? Wasn't it awesome and here it is again!! Also lets include AIDS!

Jedi posted:Off the top of my head, Waldenbooks, B. Dalton, and Borders no longer exist, and neither do quite a few local mom and pop book stores. To pretend that all of them had incompetent management is disingenuous at best. Amazon was a huge contributor to that - and they sell a Kindle. To pretend that digital sales have no impact also isn't fair. The medium is changing. Just like you'll have difficulty finding a local typewriter repairman - there will come a time that physical books are considered a quaint affectation. Amazon also owns ComiXology so it wants digital comics to sell more than floppies

Skwirl posted:I just got Unbeatable Squirrel Girl beats up the Marvel Universe and I really hope that the comic book continues to be a thing forever, because I know as soon as it's cancelled some rear end in a top hat writer will kill Squirrel Girl just to prove how bad rear end his new villain is. She is going going to be on tv so she is safe for a while

X-O posted:It is. I just want to set expectations at the correct level. Don't go in thinking it's the Bendis Daredevil run or Simonson's Thor or some other seminal run of comics. It's just a wacky alternate universe tale that's way more fun than a dumb game tie-in should be. I mean one would probably think a story about Superman going bad and basically becoming a ruthless dictator could be a really grim book but it's so utterly ridiculous at most points that it only occasionally makes you remember "Oh yeah this reality would be horrific wouldn't it?" gently caress fate
