Sorry guys, but you all need to read my thesis on how superheroes are fascists.

That kind of happened in 52. I think as part of the Black Adam plot? Well, not the doing good part.

Yeah, if I remember right they created some new suoervillains named after the Horsemen of the Apocalypse and had them ruin Bkack Adam's life for some reason. I always felt that was the weakest plot of 52, but at least it had Dr. Sivana carve up a turkey with a chainsaw while laughing maniacally.

Guy Goodbody posted:Marvel needs to take a mulligan on a lot of the stuff they've done recently. The next event should establish that Nightmare has been giving everyone nightmares for the past few years, so a lot of the Marvel characters have been kinda sleep deprived. Of course Beast wouldn't normally risk destroying time to make Cyclops feel bad or strand Noh Varr on a planet to die, he had been awake for days before he did that stuff. Iceman is bi, not gay, Iceman being full gay would be dumb, he was just super out of it when he said that stuff. Thor's Hammer isn't sentient, everybody had been up for 36 hours and heard a car radio and thought it was coming from the hammer. What

Like, I get it, but one of my best friends is a gay man who has dated and had sex with women before so it always weirds me out when people equate dating girls in the past to meaning that person is always going to be into women. The outing scene was really lovely though

cubicle gangster posted:Ok, cool. I'll have to have some time to do a little more research & digging before posting a thread. I basically know nothing about comics outside of stuff published by the big two, licensed comics, and indies from Image, Boom, and the like, so I'd welcome anything new aside from that.

To be honest, the indie thread is so incredibly broad compared to Marvel, DC, and Valiant that I feel like talking about anything other than the most popular indie books is just shouting into the void.

It's well and fine to like DKSA, but I really just don't. I hate the coloring, it's full of really dumb stuff like Superman loving Wonder Woman so hard it causes tidal waves, and there was some really gross homophobia I wasn't a fan of.

I feel like the main takeaway from that essay, and their previous one, is that companies should probably be more transparent about pre-ordering books.

X-O posted:What the hell even is that thing? Star Wars Tales is an anthology series where a bunch of writers would write short stories related to Star Wars. Some were canon, some weren't, and the ones that weren't tended to be really off the wall ones. This is from George R. Binks, a story about Jar Jar's father, who is trapped on an island with his son and wife after their fishing boat gets shipwrecked, and has to deal with his son being Jar Jar. Other bizarre stories include: That story about the force sensitive droid that blows itself up so R2 can go with Luke (written by Peter David of all people), parodies of The Breakfast Club, Judge Judy, Pulp Fiction, and Fight Club. A Garth Ennis story about one of the stormtroopers that went on the Tantive IV at the beginning of ANH, and a story where Han and Chewie crash land on Earth, Chewie becomes the inspiration for Bigfoot, and Indiana Jones discovers Han's skeleton. It's all on Marvel Unlimited, and well worth a read. Edit - Here's one of the shortest stories they did.

Ghostlight posted:Wait, is that where that thing about the droid intentionally popping its top so C3PO and R2D2 don't get separated originally comes from? I always thought it was some weird fan theory. It goes further than that. It's called Skippy, the Jedi Droid. It is a force sensitive droid that can levitate rocks, and Obi-Wan frequently felt its presence but never realized they were a droid. It has a vision when it was bought by Owen about how terrible things would be if R2 doesn't get bought by Luke, and blows itself up to save the galaxy in a way. I have no idea how Peter David thought to write this.

Yeah, I'd switch to digital for new comics, but they're all the same price as physical comics, and I get a 20% discount at the comic shop I go to. It's really not a choice for me.

Aside from apparently getting too old to notice these kinds of mistakes, what do I need to know before I read this? Is it good? Bad? Steeped in continuity? Will I be totally lost/bored/angry? No, yes, yes, and yes

purple death ray posted:Out of all the Rebirth stuff for DC to get a loving Eisner nom for, Batgirl and Deathstroke? Really? I'll go up to bat for Deathstroke. It is honestly a fun series about a horrible person that doesn't pretend that Slade is anything but a lovely person. I don't know if it's worthy of an Eisner nomination, but it's definitely one of the better Rebirth titles they could have picked. I do think that Superman and Detective Comics are unambiguously better though.
