I wanna read more books! Any recommendations for books/novels written by comic book writers. I have already read all of Gaiman's stuff, as well as Ellis's Crooked Little Vein and Machine Gun.

redbackground posted:Voodoo Heart by Scott Snyder Seeing as that I barely make it through Pynchon books I will give Moore's no-doubtedly very dense a book a miss. Thanks for the other suggestions though. I knew King wrote a book (though I kept forgetting the title) but never knew Snyder did too. I also forgot to mention that I have read PAD's Sir Apropos.

CapnAndy posted:I read a Brad Metzer book, you'll never guess the ending. Did they solve the case after she blurted out something like "Man it must suck being shot 20 times in the back and having your heart be removed by a stainless steel kitchen knife bought at the local Walmart" and the guy replies "I never mentioned that the person died by being shot 20 times and that his heart was removed by a stainless steel kitchen knife that was bought at the local Wallmart. By golly you must be the killer! Also, care to explain why you are walking around with a loving flamethrower?!"

CapnAndy posted:As I remember it, Ray and Jean were the leading suspects, with most people favoring Ray because Jean had no motive. "True Love" is always a a great motive.

CapnAndy posted:Which is why Ray was the leading suspect and Jean made comparitively little sense; Ray was obviously pining and was Jean's at any time for the asking. In the end Identity Crisis was a romantic comedy of "will they won't they" mixed in with rape, and murder by flamethrower. More I think about the comic the more it sucks.

X-O posted:I'm going to be scarce for a bit due to a death in my immediate family. So reports will likely go unread for the next five or six days as I'll only be using the app on my phone if I drop by. If something that needs any real attention comes up, not that this ever happens here anyway, PM me and I'll get to it if I can or get someone that can get to it. To XO: sorry to hear that. Hope all is okay with you and your family. Condolences. To goons: now that old man XO is gone who wants to start poo poo and stuff.

This chat about about identity crisis and BSS: year one is making me curious about what the first years of BSS were like and what the dirt was on the various goons that were o.g.

I like Tim Drake's Robin costume from his original run. Leggings makes more sense than whatever the gently caress Robin was wearing before and it blows my mind that it took so long to figure that out. I'm also a sucker for classic Firestorm but thats because I like shoulder pads and flaming heads. Ditto for Ghost Rider.

Wheat Loaf posted:What's everyone's favourite example of a superhero being put in an unusual team for them? I kinda liked Namor in X-Men and I liked Beast in the Avengers. Lobo in Justice League is very...strange and out of place. Wolverine in every team that isn't filled with mutants (and even some of those)

If Capt. Marvel's costume is good enough for Elvis it's good enough for me.

Despite comic sales I am willing to bet more non comic readers knew who Wonder Woman was instead of Green Lantern. WW carries a lot more cultural recognition, has an iconic costume, a famous tv show, is a feminist icon etc.

I never really cared for EVS's work one way or another and never went out of my way to buy a book because of him. I am glad that he isn't working on any titles I am buying now, but honestly I rarely buy books because of the artist on them (and with DC it makes it quite easy seeing how they rotate artists without a care anyway). The best thing would be if he stopped getting work altogether.

Rip Chris Cornell. I know he wasn't really comic related but just like comics were part of my youth so was Soundgarden. I remember my cousin pumping out Superunknown in the car after he bought me a Daredevil comic from a local newstand and for some reason that day has always stood out for me.

That is a horrifically made trailer. Like sub-fan level bad. It almost feels like a trailer for a movie that was made out of contractual obligation.
