Maybe we should just switch to reposts for a few years?

So I was just rolling my eyes at the latest issue of Doomsday Clock, the DC Universe-shaking event in which nothing happens and it takes twice as long to not happen, and the thought occurred to me: what was the last actually good event comic?

Secret Wars, Infinity (if you count that), Final Crisis, 52, Annihilation etc.

I don’t know if it’s been super delayed or this slow-drip release bullshit was intentional, but shockingly it turns out that the comic advancing 2017’s hottest plotline has somehow been overtaken by the linear march of time.

Super-delayed, repeatedly.

Wasn't there a Discord server for BSS?

There is, and it hasn't been used for a year or two.

Don't even bother with the main comics sub if you want anything but superficial conversation that would make even our largely superficial discussions look deep.

Unless you masturbate constantly to Fabok's artwork I advise not posting on r/dccomics.

Yeah I guess my favourite Morrison comic has to be Multiversity now.

I am very thankful for the Sony email leaks for proving once and for all that corporate people are loving idiots who don't know what they're doing.

Except about Spectre. They were totally right about that.

Yes, although it was apparently even worse for a long while.

It in no way justifies it, but most of the sexual violence in superhero comics was written after comics started targeting teens/adults more than kids.

Avengers 200 is also 40 years old at this point. It's utter poo poo but it's not the most useful touchstone for looking at how modern comics (mis)handle sexual violence.

White supremacists inspired by Rorschach are killing cops because the police are enforcing alt-universe civil rights stuff.

I might give it a try, how much is the sexy clown sidekick in it?

Mime and Marionette are in it quite a bit, and while they are decent characters that have no discernible purpose in the story.

The Comedian is barely in the story at all, and given how stupid and pointless his inclusion is it's clear he is only there because people have heard of him.

Have there been any recent events that introduce a new character to sell a new series?

I can only think of all the way back with Infinite Crisis when it introduced Jaime Reyes.

Metal, if you count "what if Batman but also the Joker?" as a new character.

Using the wrong names is a consistent part of his gimmick because it gets people to engage with his poo poo.

It's a little unnerving how accurate some if that poo poo is. How long ago were science journals touting cloned meat? That was a fun background gag.

Dolly the Sheep was in the late 90s so there was a lot of discussion around the ethics and utility of cloning.

From Hell and New Frontier both have excellent backmatter and while it's not the only reason that I love them it sure as poo poo is one of them.

Guy Ritchie's first Sherlock Holmes movie felt like it owed a fair bit to From Hell.

The occult stuff in Ritchie's film felt like it bore more than a passing relation, and plenty of film critics noted the similarity to the aesthetic of From Hell's adaption.

I would like to read a single review that mentions the similarities.

[Ritchie] wisely reins in the irritating visual tics of yore, looking instead toward the shadowy pantomime of Hammer to evoke a smoggy netherworld which is one part Conan Doyle's London to two parts Hughes brothers' From Hell.
