Bitchin Kitchen posted:The Darkness chat Is this actually a good comic or is it just manly as gently caress? The Xbox game based on it is absolutely incredible, so if it's even a fraction as good as that was...

Dickeye posted:Exception: Spawn. Is it really that terrible? The impression I got was that, for a comic that basically singlehandedly caused the Dark Age, it's pretty readable.

Vaerai Archon posted:I've always wanted a large Spawn omnibus, not to read however. It would be along the lines of owning a Ncronomicon. You own it not to read it, but to show people something so vile they cannot even begin to fathom it's existance. So basically the fact that the HBO series is actually pretty good was nothing short of a small (more like very large, but eh) miracle.

So I've been reading Crossed since I figure, hey, 'tis the season. Holy gently caress. This is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen in any medium, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. The fact that so far a zombie loving the stump of a severed leg is one of the less shocking things in the book is something I'm still trying to wrap my head around.

Slaughterhaul posted:Original Crossed is great and one of the best thing Ennis has done though it's obviously very difficult to actually recommend it to somebody. I also really liked that it ended with somewhat of a happy ending all things considered. It's pretty much The Walking Dead/post apocalyptic stuff "done right".  Yeah no not reading that. The poo poo that was in original Crossed was bad enough thank you very much. (though I'll admit, HORSECOCK made me fall out of my chair laughing every time) e: I started reading The Darkness, because I loved the games and found out that Ennis wrote the first arc. Surprisingly, I'm actually enjoying the hell out of it so far. It's not amazing, granted, but it's better than most of the poo poo that was coming out in the 90s, mostly by virtue of keeping a decent enough sense of humor about itself.

Kirkman is pretty great when he's not phoning it in, but my god does he phone it in most of the time.

All I know about SiP is that (possibly major/inaccurate spoiler?) there's a character who manages to turn a lesbian straight through his sheer force of awesomeness and that's honestly enough to make me not want to go anywhere near it.

Lurdiak posted:I don't know if it's cool or not, but boy howdy did I hate it. I can see how some would like it, but I can't see how it would be considered something difficult to top. 80s video game references and applying the basic formula of comedy/romance manga and anime to a modern setting with swear words? That can't be the height of someone's creative output. I don't know why but your avatar makes me irrationally angry. It's like it's telling me your post will have a lot of really bad opinions in it, even though a lot of times I sorta agree with you. (Scott Pilgrim was just okay, not amazing)

Honestly I don't know why those tiers aren't reversed but I'm really glad they aren't.

Soonmot posted:Is anyone else reading Revenge? It's horrible, but I love it. A 70's action star old franchise gets updated for the modern day and this old, roided out man is suddenly a start again. He heads down to Mexico for some cutting edge plastic surgery only to have his face cut off his skull and grafted onto a younger man who's being manipulated by his gold digging trophy wife. It's pulpy, gory and totally gratuitous in every way and I kind of love it. It's not a *good* book, but it is a fun one.  God drat that escalated quickly. Sounds like I need to check this out.

Ugh. I want Saga to be the next one to be picked up for a TV show but at the same time, the structure and content mean that like, the only channel that could touch it with a 10 foot pole without making serious changes to it would be HBO.

Barristicide posted:I think it's been explicitly stated that Saga will never exist in any format other than comics. I mean, they say that, but at the same time I'm pretty sure BKV and Fiona Staples like money, which is a thing they would have swimming pools full of if they went along with something like that.

foutre posted:I want there to be a world where there's a good television adaptation of Saga but I can't think of anyone who could pull that off, so it's probably for the best. I mean, HBO could probably pick it up and if they handled it with the same kind of give-a-gently caress that they handle Game of Thrones with, it would work out just fine.

Unmature posted:On a whim after watching the doc I started reading Spawn for the first time ever. Spawn is a lame, dumb character, but I always heard the first 50 issues were pretty good. I'm 4 in and it's a fun, super cheesy, super 90's comic. I'm surprised by how often he breaks down and cries on the floor like a little bitch. I also watched a bit of the movie and boy is that still complete garbage. Even as a 7 year old I knew it sucked, but MAN does it stink. I really, really want Garth Ennis to write a Spawn series at some point, simply because Spawn is almost literally "Punisher... WITH SUPERPOWERS."
