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

CapnAndy posted: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.

CapnAndy posted:I dont know if its been super delayed or this slow-drip release bullshit was intentional, but shockingly it turns out that the comic advancing 2017s hottest plotline has somehow been overtaken by the linear march of time. Super-delayed, repeatedly.

Endless Mike posted: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.

Roth posted: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.

New Marvel card game from FFG looks decent.

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

I am far more interested in the HBO series than Doomsday Clock.

Gripweed posted: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.

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

Rhyno posted: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.

What was the consensus on the colour version of From Hell?

Guy Ritchie's first Sherlock Holmes movie felt like it owed a fair bit to From Hell.
|
# ¿ Jan 8, 2020 03:29 |
|
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.

Skwirl posted:I would like to read a single review that mentions the similarities. Mark Kermode posted:[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.
