Heyyyy I forgot to bookmark the chat thread again!


Hot take though using corporate ownership as your barometer for what's "real" in a madeup funnybook universe is a laughably pathetic position to hold and an ultimately insignificant side-effect of the horrific state of late-stage capitalism!

As far as I'm concerned Claremont created the X-Men, it wasn't really any good before he started and it's barely ever been good since he left, so I'm way more inclined to believe his takes on the characters, I really don't give a poo poo what a huge faceless corporation later published in some bad comics. "Canon" is a lie. I will always trust the creators of this medium. Without them this is nothing.

I don't know that there's any concensus on Amalgam books. I liked most of them, honestly.

All of the Batman vs. Predator comics. Come read the Batman thread, we could probably use another conversation about the best Batman stories.

You know DT's just going to recommend a bunch of Jason Todd stories.

Well fortunately The Cult is both a Jason Todd story and extremely great!

I guess Lobdell is legendary in the same way that say the Baba Yaga or the Jersey Devil is

You guys will see the light when this comic pays for my retirement.

Are they doing a hologram cover or a chromium gatefold

They've gotta make money somehow without Star Wars, I guess. But not releasing comics is also a lovely way to make money

You are not a person I will ever understand

There's always people who insist that a terrible thing is actually secretly brilliant and amazing. Especially if it's spectacularly bad, bizarre and borderline incoherent- nobody's in here talking about how great the Onslaught storyline was. Mediocre stories don't inspire that kind of devotion. Hell look deep within yourself and you might find that you've got something like that of your own. (Mine is the movie Batman and Robin.)

It's just a thing nerds do.

I've said this before, but that insane naked senator wrapped in the American flag from DKR was Frank Miller's self-insert this entire time, it just took a while for us to realize it.

1994 was the best year in human history and its a complete coincidence that it happened when I was twelve years old

Out of all the Rebirth stuff for DC to get a loving Eisner nom for, Batgirl and Deathstroke? Really?

Hope King wins for the Batman story and Vision though.

I don't get the hate for Max Landis. Chronicle was really good.

Yeah all I know about him is his dad got some kids killed on a movie set, which is apparently Max Landis' fault? And I guess he was a douchebag in some YouTube videos somewhere. I don't know anything else about the dude but like I said American Alien was really good.
