Rhyno posted:For what it's worth, Constantine appeared in Green Lantern #81 and in a reference page of Hitman. Otherwise he was Vertigo only until the Brightest Day Aftermath mini. There was a Paul Dini Zatanna one shot he had a major part in in about 2007/8, maybe?

Rhyno posted:Ennis wrote the last year or so of the Demon and then used him a bit in Hitman. When he shows up in WW he's back to his old semi heroic ways and not the monster Ennis turned him into. I totally forgot about Hitman. That was a fun book. Do those characters still exist?

thetoughestbean posted:So, I’ve been reading seminal shojo manga Rose of Versailles and one thing that struck me was how it switches from a more serious style you’d associate with manga to a more cartoony style and then back at a drop of a hat I'm pretty sure Scott Pilgrim vs The World did it a few times, but more subtly, and that was heavily indebted to Manga. I'm pretty sure I've seen this kind of thing in books like The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl too, but I'd need to dig for it.

I remember there was going to be a New Warriors book that had characters with names like Safespace and Screen time that was panned to poo poo right across the political spectrum. Did that ever actually come out? I seem to recall it was due to launch about March 2020, so it could have easily been memory-holed by the Pandemic.

I'm not sure how prevalent MAD was in the UK in the early 90s though - I certainly don't recall ever seeing it, but I do recall seeing kids draw in that (or a similar) style who likely had never read MAD. If anything, it brings to mind Amiga box-art which would also be locale and era appropriate, but I can't quite place it specifically.

I see similar elements in characters like Ready Eddie, the (horrifying to me as a kid) Ready Brek mascot: https://admascots.fandom.com/wiki/Ready_Eddie Also, the Nodles Doodles tinned spaghetti mascot was similar. Morph, I guess, has some similar elements.

CzarChasm posted:It reminded me very vaguely of Bone, with the big noses and generally stark white skin. I know that's not it, but it's where I went to first. This has been bothering me a lot as its right in my generational and geographical sweet spot, but I can't help but wonder if that style is just really easy, and it's an amalgamation of various influences. I wonder if some Spliffy/Eclipse/Dready clothing is making in in there?

Lucifunk posted:I'm having a complete brain fart, and I'm having trouble remembering the title and author. It's a legendary writer, and it's set in a city full of superheroes, and it's usually single issue stories. That Astro City issue about the regular people in a universe reset is gold.

Ennis can do a kind of tough-guy sentimentality at times which can work for me and be oddly sincere and works for war comics in particular, but holy poo poo, he does not understand superheroes and somehow that's everyone else's fault. Preacher was great when I was a kid, but has aged like milk.

This could be faulty memory or me just having bad taste at the time, but I seem to recall his short arc in Spider-Man's Tangled Web being not too bad and showing that he could get the character if he wanted to, and I'm not beyond finding his take on Wolverine in The Punisher really loving funny in a Looney Tunes way. I don't know, I get cape fatigue sometimes too, but I really resent that shortly after I got into American superhero comics as a teen, the trendy thing to do was to write about how you're too cool for the subject matter.

Has it ever been discussed if Batman comes out earlier and stays out later in Winter or how he adjusts to less darkness in Summer? Like, if you get mugged at 9.30pm on a balmy July night is it just "gently caress you, then"? Edit: I know this sounds kind of flip, but I wonder if it's ever been a plot element.

Gaz-L posted:Robin can handle those because of summer vacation from school. The idea of Batman just scooting about in August while people are drinking in beer gardens or on their roofs blasting some De La Soul and NOFX with a case of Coronas is just really funny to me somehow.
