That's amazing. Is this in trade yet? I might have found a nice stocking stuffer for myself.

Lurdiak posted:Wolverine and Punisher are pretty distinct in their philosophies and views of killing, and I think they really shouldn't get along (another thing Rucka hosed up), but legally speaking, Wolverine is still a mass murderer. Wolverine is the CIA spook torching Banana Farm protestors because we need the region to be stable. Castle is the bugfuck PTSD former soldier who gets denied visitation rights to his kids and decides to Columbine the lawyers.

hiddenriverninja posted:Jeez, that's depressing. IRREDEEMABLE SPOILERS INBOUND Plutonian, the Superman analogue, finds out that he isn't an actual person or alien, but a probe-program that n-th dimensional aliens launched to catalogue Earth... only the probe comes across a really depressed mother who lost her son and decides to incarnate as a new child to placate the mother. Problem is the mother lost the original child when her postpartum depression caused her to murder the kid. . . So she's stuck with an invincible superbaby that seemingly taunts her attempts to dispose of it/serves as a reminder that she's a terrible broken person. Dude never had a chance for a normal life. But yeah, the concept of "Superman, but everyone is a bag of dicks and takes him for granted" was pretty fun while it lasted.

priznat posted:Is Irredeemable better than The Boys? I liked the concept on that one but it went off the rails somewhat.. And drat it got disturbing. Irredeemable starts off well but goes on for too long. There's a whole arc that's entirely forgettable. Basically once you have the crazy Superman not instakilling folks it gets bland. Also, LoL at the Lois Lane analogue turning around and saying HEy NEWSROoM, THIS rear end in a top hat IVE BEEN DATING IS THE PLUTONIAN. FIRE UP THE PRESSES CUZ IM ABOUT TO WIN ME A PULITZER! And yes, the worst part of the Irredeemable ending is 'hey, so these guys detonated a bomb whose radiation will kill all life on earth. You can basically manipulate reality, but don't like wish it away. Instead help me make metal as dense as a white dwarf in a black hole, then run it around the earth at superspeed. Great now you have super cancer from the radiation. I'm sending you across the dimensions so you can get a happy ending because you were essentially made to GET poo poo On CONSTANTLY in this reality.

Edit for content: Just looked at my shelf and I wanted to give a shout out to Locke and Key. Specifically in the last issue where the eldest son has a heart to heart with his father, and the dad is pretty contrite about failing him. L&K did a great job with mundane family drama, I think.

I think Waverider discovers an anomaly in time which he deduces as The Crisis/Multiverse. But yeah, it's a softy-soft realignment that didn't really do much to DC as a whole aside from nudging the JSA into Legacy status (though it tinkered with individual character history: Bats doesn't arrest/confront Joe Chill in his personal history, Guy Gardner has alien heritage now, there's more of a sliding time to stories since Superman's appearance is pegged to a nebulous '10 years ago' instead of a hard date, and a bunch of possible/alternate futures get wiped). Final Crisis was also supposed to be "DCU gets reimagined by SuperWish to be a more hopeful place" but then they ran dick first into, like, Blackest Night after that and no one got Morrison's memo.

RiotGearEpsilon posted:Irredeemable? There's like two or three arcs in the run that are good: the initial 5-7 issues where the scope of Plutonian's rampage is revealed, the coverup story about the sonic plague that starts the guy's break, and the background issues that show what walking cocklords the entirety of that world were. Irredeemable is a good look into what a superman-level character, without superhuman empathy/patience/understanding/optimism, would be faced with in a realistic world. Astro City is a good look into what a superman-level character would face when confronted with the existential opportunity cost of his abilities (i.e. that even a moment of relaxation would necessitate his absence from an emergency situation), even in a world rich with superhumans. Samaritan's depiction is both impressively hopeful and maddeningly depressing. FilthyImp fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Aug 23, 2016 |
