gimme the GOD drat candy posted:idgaf about harley quinn but for some reason she inspires women to wear tight jumpsuits at conventions. some of the women are even attractive! the distribution of attractiveness at conventions (for women, at least) is not a bell curve, it's a bathtub. god bless them.

the artist and writer for hitman tried to come up with a team of the stupidest heroes they could. It was in DC continuity so nothing too gross. Dogwelder is one of them Matter Eater Lad is another bad one that was not meant as a joke whose power was being able to digest anything

ColoradoCleric posted:Are there any good interesting and mature comics out there and a non-stupidly expensive or complicated way to read them yet? I just want to buy an anthology of something good not pay $15 for 30 pages of pictures per issue. non-big 2 comics are the go-tos for that. even the shared universe ones tend to be more contained, because there aren't as many decades of continuity and there'll be like a few dozen characters at most with maybe 5 comics being released at one time. some that i think are pretty good: currently ongoing (1) Uber (what if Nazis developed superpowers late in the war; not about 'superheroes' as such - the superpowered soldiers are military assets and it's a war story); (2) Black Monday Murders (bankers are actually cabals of worshipers of Mammon - very visually striking) (3) the Autumnlands (sci-fi /fantasy - starts out withj talking animals and looking gay as gently caress but melds sci-fi into the fantasy world pretty quickly) (4) Britannia (world's first detective applying logic in dealing with supernatural mysteries in ancient rome) (5) jupiter's circle and jupiter's legacy (simple enough story about people getting superpowers at the beginning of the depression and it throwing off history majorly; old school superheroes vs the idea superheroes should remake the world; generational change. It's Mark Millar who has put out a lot of rubbish but I enjoyed these. The first two of three arcs just wrapped up) some others worth checking out; i could probably come up with a bunch if i sat and thought about it but these are just some that spring to mind right now (1) Transhuman by Jonathan Hickman (4 issue mini about the tech revolution when biotech/machine augmentation become practical) (2) the new harbinger/harbinger renegades/imperium books (shared universe but fairly self-contained within these books; x-men powers in origin, tug-of-war between government trying to control them and a psycho who wants to remake the world into a utopia with himself as benevolent dictator. not just an x-men ripoff in that respect, the villain is complicated and he doesn't hate humans.) (3) Supergods by Warren Ellis (very simple idea of us, when we could, making gods out of superhuman technology instead of just superheroes; 5 or 6 issues or something. ending's kind of bla but it's a fun story.) (4) Planetary by Warren Ellis (about an organisation that catalogues the stranger things in a comics universe - though, again, this is really self-contained. Lots of tributes to other eras of science fiction/film/comics. There is an overarching plot and a main set of villains, who are a riff on the Fantastic Four. Beautiful art.) (5) Sleeper by Ed Brubaker (noir in a shared superhero universe, but you don't need to know anything about the universe. Takes its plot premise from infernal affairs in that it's about an undercover intelligence agent whose contact has gone into a coma. It goes off and does its own thing though. Very good art, very stylish.) (6) Royals - Masters of War (royal line inbreeding was because they had powers; they had been noninterventionist in ww2 but here they enter the fray. fun.)

Hemingway To Go! posted:not dc comic book movies Well. A lot of Marvel comics have been designed for the SJW crowd - they put Ta Nehisi Coates on three books, one of which has Black Panther and Storm (who are both African royalty) talking and acting like 1960s black supremacists, and made Captain Marvel a female Muslim - and don't sell.

Lawrence Gilchrist posted:The female captain marvel is selling well. I don't know about the other two. Ta nehisi Coates has been writing about his experiences for several decades and it's weird to see another generation be groomed to think of him as a pinko/pink haired/future slang here in june, according to comichron, ms marvel sold 17,907 copies, putting it at rank 137, behind such mainstays of highselling comics as 'Shirtless Bear-Fighter' and 'Wonder Woman Tasmanian Devil Special'. in july, it was ranked 108th, selling 20,730, behind 'sacred creatures' and 'Go Go Power Rangers'. in may ranked 131st, selling 18,271 copies. it is not selling well. unless you're referring to the 'mighty captain marvel books', but they're selling like crap, too: 132nd in july with 15,672 sold, 129th in june with 20,870 sold, and i can't be bothered looking further back. ta nehisi coates has not, to my knowledge, written comics prior to the last couple of years, so bringing him on, and putting him on three books (which is a fair few to have one writer on) is anomalous and remarkable.

Father Wendigo posted:Every time a member of the Justice League shows up, they're written in the worst way possible. IIRC, that image of bats breaking his fist is because he can't get over how much of a tortured soul he is. Also justice or something. There's an issue where Tommy talks to Superman which is a positive portrayal of Superman. A lot of creators who are otherwise all 'superheroes are loving juvenile fantasies/jackbooted thugs' have a soft spot for Supes.

Inescapable Duck posted:I'm surprised it took GBS this long to discover Section 8, it's a perfect match. And Warren Ellis in general. marshal law, too. in that book the superman analogue is a jackbooted fascist, the batman analogue is a super-rich evil type who takes organs from his robins to keep his elderly husk alive and he only maintains good pr through controlling the media, the spiderman analogue we see briefly at an asylum is a superpowered guy who can't stop jerking off on rooftops... and the protagonist is a hero-killer who dresses up in high heels and a gimp outfit.

Knight posted:Invincible is the one where they have super powers but they're not invulnerable, right? So when they fight they just get superbroken and start to heal, but don't die easy. That seemed more understandable and avoids "how does Superman shave?" problems for the strength levels any of these guys display they'd have to be getting the strength from somewhere other than straight muscles. if they're using some kind of energy to power their strength, it could well be the same mechanism could be used as a protective measure. i will never again touch a woman.
