The bad color job isn't doing the faces any good either. That last panel is way too heavy on gradient and smudge like it's babby's first comic project.

Watching the latest video from Comic Tropes and he's going through an issue of an early Indian superhero Nagraj and well, new way to shake hands has dropped.

Look, sometimes he regenerates just a bit too much flesh, okay? You really think he gets it right every time?

He looks like Fred Flintstone lost an arm at the quarry and had to have a comically oversized drumstick grafted in its place.

Now there’s a unique new character,regeneration but depending in how severe it is you could end up with a regenerated finger that grew too long or a gunshot wound that overcompensated and ends up a huge mass of flesh just poking out. I hate that regeneration always conforms to exactly what it once was,wolverine gets burnt to a single drop of blood and somehow ends up the same height colour and look with perfect hair.

What book was it that featured 'realistic' versions of heroes powers going completely wrong? Like Deadpool regenerated constantly, but it was all tumours and he was in constant pain, Hulk was just an abomination of flesh, etc

The_Other posted:Are you thinking about Ruins by Warren Ellis? I've never read it but it sounds like what you are describing. The art's great but the writing is relatively dreadful. Really edgy-for-the-sake-of-it stuff that doesn't hang together even within its own conceit. I think the X-Men are kept prisoner in a nightmarish medical facility by President X and like, they've all been mutilated and tortured so that they can't use their powers? Not even "their powers were realistic and therefore injured them grievously!" but just Quicksilver sitting in a filthy cell with his arms and legs chopped off, that kind of thing.

Like, this is literally the calibre of stuff, straight from the Wikipedia article:quote:After his interview with Mar-Vell, Sheldon goes to Washington, D.C. where he meets government agent Nick Fury, who attacks and almost shoots him, insisting that he 'proved he was clean' and claiming that Captain America introduced him to cannibalism. They are interrupted by Jean Grey, a prostitute, who offers herself to the two men for $20. Fury shoots her dead and then kills himself. After his encounter with Fury, Sheldon visits Chicago, Illinois and interviews Rick Jones, a morphine addict living with fellow addict Marlo Chandler, who tells the story of when Bruce Banner saved him from a gamma radiation blast. The blast transformed Banner into a monstrous green mass of pulsating tumors. Leaving the apartment, Sheldon trips over the corpse of the Punisher in the snow. Just a quick-fire series of "yeah, she's a prostitute! And he's fuckin' dead! And this dude is a smack addict, remember, the guy from the comics? A bad thing happened to him now!".

To the extent that RUINS had an interesting point, it was imaging a Marvel universe where when people got super powers, instead of becoming do-gooder heroes or cartoon villains, they become body-horror case studies or monstrously insane. Instead of things working out for the better, they always end up working out for the worse. It's meant to be a dark reflection of Busiek/Ross's MARVELS, and it more or less succeeds at that. The better ideas were repurposed into Planetary so it's pretty inessential unless you are an Ellis or a Marvel completist, or just can't get enough of 1990s style edgy-as-gently caress.

One thing I know about Ellis is that he's one of the very few "came from the UK and then moved over to American comics and made it big here" guys who never worked on 2000 AD

Infinitum posted:What book was it that featured 'realistic' versions of heroes powers going completely wrong? Random Stranger posted:Warren Ellis's Ruins, I think. Just "read" it through filez. I didn't like it at all. I was hoping for some proper misery but it's not even that. It's just a guy going through a bunch of interviews where it's "Hulk is a bunch of tumors" done. We don't even see it. "Frank is dead." Done. "Silver surfer opened is own chest, possibly?" done. Here's wolverine! His hands have some puss I guess?  There's no gravitas it's just a bunch of lame unconnected stuff that doesn't go anywhere while pretending it's somehow connected. I couldn't even keep my attention on it throughout the story so I skimmed the last part. I also hated the art style. Immortal Hulk is much more disgusting and occasionally disturbing.

One of the things that got me about RUINS was Jean Grey being a prostitute. if it was supposed to be a universe where "everything that can go wrong will go wrong" then why is she a hooker and not say possessed by The Phoenix, then kills off a few billion humans before going into space and killing off billions more lifeforms? She could be at war with the Shi'ar empire and kicking their rear end. Seems a bit worse than what happened.
