Holy poo poo, thanks for this thread. I'm up to chapter 90-something in I Am A Hero and daaamn. Someone early in the thread said that folks who read comics might appreciate the significant departures in manga, very on-point. Alan Moore honestly kind of killed comics for me, I read all his stuff from the '80s and then TLoEG and everything else just feels incredibly soap-opera. DC, Marvel, I mean I like a lot of the characters but it took Marvel more than a hundred comics (on purpose) to tell a very watered-down, half-rear end version of what Moore was getting at in Watchmen in 12 issues. And the artistry just feels really lacking. I know Moore is basically a crazy person in terms of exactitude and proficiency but still, it's hard to go from really well-written self-contained stories to the ongoing adventures of Tony Stark, now with Drinking Problem! (I read an interview with Moore where he basically called the industry out on that, too, that their idea of new ideas was to just make everyone flawed and at least ostensibly deep - on the American side of things, I thought All Star Superman was a fantastic upswing compared to the general state of things, for a lot of reasons). So anyway, I visited ADTRW because somebody pointed out Shingeki no Kyojin to me and I thought it was great and am definitely on the edge of my seat waiting for the next chapter, got linked here, and this thread gives a great smattering of stuff... Thanks! I Am A Hero almost can't be talked about without spoilers so I'm not going to go into specifics but shiiiit it's good. Agreed fucked around with this message at 07:58 on Sep 22, 2013 |
