Magic Love Hose posted:Superman getting pissed at you should be the ultimate sign you've done something questionable. To me, Superman, when he's pissed - he doesn't have glowy eyes and clenched teeth. He hits you with words. Its okay when he does it to teach you a lesson as he is disappointed in you yet thinks that you can still do good. However it is not Superman when he talks to you condensedenly and like you are superior to everyone like in Grounded.

Magic Love Hose posted:The big problem with that aspect of Grounded is that Superman getting pissed is something he doesn't do often. Tell you "you've done something wrong" should be an exceptional event. Grounded made it... plain. It was the banality that was offensive. Sorry that storyline just pisses me off so so much.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:Heh, I just read Superman: Secret Origin this week, and after disliking most of Johns' Green Lantern run and all the Blackest Night/Brightest Day stuff and HATING Infinite Crisis, I enjoyed the hell out of Secret Origin. I was stunned that he actually GOT the essence of Superman, in a way that many writers never have. I don't usually follow Superman discussion, so did fans generally like the story? Was it popular? It definitely had that "movie treatment" feeling (as long as they cut the Legion chapter), but it was so much better than Green Lantern: Secret Origin and had more heart than most of Johns' other recent work. He had a really good Superman run

Jerusalem posted:I got to meet him once years ago and he was just a big ol' fanboy, and I mean that in the best way. He just wanted to talk about comics and how awesome they were and how cool it was to get to write comics. He saw me walking by with a bunch of back issues and called me over because he wanted to see what I'd bought The only real conversation I had with a comic writer was Jim Starlin and he told me how awful Captain Marvels original costume was. bobkatt013 fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Sep 8, 2011 |

Quantum of Phallus posted:I gave up on Marvel when Colossus died after injecting himself with some virus in X-Men about 7 years ago. He came back about five issues later. I hate that bullshit. Same with Captain America's "death". He was dead for like 6 years. Also the same author who killed Captain America brought him back, it was always part of the story.

Lurdiak posted:Maybe? That sure looks like and is priced like a hardcover, but it also looks like it says it only has the first issue in it? I could be reading that wrong. Here it is on amazon and says its issues 1-4 http://www.amazon.com/Venom-Rick-Remender-1/dp/0785158111/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1324770648&sr=8-1 Also looks like issues are also going to be in spider-island bobkatt013 fucked around with this message at 00:53 on Dec 25, 2011 |

Was having superpowers important for the child's survival or something?
|
Colon V posted:Yeah, plenty. And B and C-list characters like that drop like flies regardless of how many hypothetical scouters they explode with their power levels. The only way you can survive in a comic universe is to be popular. It's not that being unpowered hurts their chances, it's that being powered doesn't help. Unless you are in New X-men. If you are unpowered then you might get blown up in a bus.

TwoPair posted:Didn't know whether to put this in here or the Badass thread, since it's a little bit of both. To summarize the best I can, Secret Avengers #23: A crew of Adaptoids kidnapped two random metahumans (a mother and son) and kicked the Avengers' asses, but Ant-Man caught a ride on their pants. When they were going to kill the mother, O'Grady springs into action that is way over his head. The mom dies and O'Grady takes an explosive arrow to the head while escaping with the kid. "Escape" doesn't really work though, since he's in an underground city full of adaptoids without backup. I am going to miss that rear end in a top hat

Mister Roboto posted:That's some good male-bonding support, superhero style. If I were bigger and tougher, that's totally what I'd do to help a friend who needed to let it all out: Do it, I can take it. That whole issue was great with minimal dialogue. It also ended with Pete talking to Franklin and it is really awesome.

Or is it Sputnik posted:The little blue Johnny Storm is a model of his memorial. I didn't realize this until I read through the script (posted in the TPB), but throughout all the issue Thing never looks straight at Johnny's memorial or the casket. He's just growing super mad over three-ish weeks and gets to finally let it all out on Hulk. Great scene. He also feels that it is all his fault as he was not able to help due to being human at the time. In an earlier issue he took a potion that made him human for a week. During that week he had a great time walking without being starred at, going to a ball game, playing poker with his friends, and seeing Alicia. However then they were attacked by the negative zone while he was still human. He became the thing again right as Johnny closed the portal.

Bloodly posted:That's very accurate; even in the early ones he was fairer/'softer' than other Judges. I distinctly remember one of the early stories; thanks to constant high unemployment, people tend to go kinda nuts with little to DO, so a guy goes a little crazy, goes on a spree. Then other time a kid tried to kill himself and Dredd charged him with loitering, Dredd saved him then changed him 90 days in the penal colony for being a public nuisance. Then another civilian tried to get the sentence lowered and she got charged first 2,000 credits then she talked back and got charged 4,000 for obstruction of justice.

Gavok posted:Makes me think of one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes Nothing in the Dark with Robert Redford as Death disguised as a wounded cop for the sake of gaining an old woman's trust. They did the same thing in the show Supernatural. In fact there is a character that is based on death in it. You can also see a lot of influences from Hellblazer and Preacher in it. bobkatt013 fucked around with this message at 08:12 on Dec 12, 2012 |

Glitterbomber posted:Yea Supernatural's Death is one of my favorites, he does the whole 'yea I have the power to kill you, I can do that to anyone at any time, it's mundane to me, relax' thing really well. He gets a few really good speeches too where he basically tells people to shut their holes because death gives zero fucks about god and demons and the grand plan for things. Do not forget the character Tessa who looks and acts like Sandman's death
