The only goons that confuse me are Lurdiak and Rhyno. Like, I know who the regulars are but every time there is an avatar change I think our dwindling community has grown a bit. Speaking of which, I am far to used to Rhyno's avatar. It is throwing me off now that it hasn't changed recently.

In the silver-age I used to be kind of fun and cool to be around. Since the reboot I just rip off other poster's arms and write angry letters.

Every time "Don't stop believing" comes up I have to text my friend and remind him that Journey sucks, just in case he forgot. I will do the same for you Lurdiak. Journey sucks.

Chaos Hippy posted:Was not expecting so much love for Journey. They've been one of my favourite bands since I was 2, so I know they kick rear end, but I was starting to think they kicked rear end in a way that only Canadians could perceive. When it comes to music appreciation, I wouldn't hold us Canadians in such high esteem.

Why yes I would also have terrible opinions if I didn't know such things as facts, history, context or decency. Never heard of this guy before though, but I have heard and read Eisner's stuff. I'm guessing he is just jealous.

At first I thought he was that lovely artist/writer who did the "In the Gutter" or whatever that lovely webcomic is called. Nice to see there is more that one lovely webcomic person out there with lovely comic opinions.

Squizzle posted:I'd say Jewishness more than Judaism, but that's getting dreadfully close to a semantic argument. I would love nothing more than to discuss the inherent Jewishness (and Judaism) in Eisner's work (and I am being very sincere and not sarcastic here), and in some ways I would agree with you because a lot of his work, from stuff in Contract with God, Into the Storm, Name of the Game, deals more with being Jewish in a secular (particularly New York) world, and how it affects the characters in the choices they make with two opposite forces pulling them away from who they are. The one story, however, that stands out the most for a Judaism point of view is Contract with God which deals with a religious man's relationship with God that could also be a metaphorical claim of the Jewish people and God. Eisner's stuff is really compelling and broad but at the same time personable, which is why it seems so ludicrous that some dipshit lumps him into some generic "mediocre white man" bullshit.

RevKrule posted:Shelly Bond is out at Vertigo and no one's very happy about it. It's so weird to think that I was at a con recently and she was there and at the Vertigo panel she was talking about how excited she was about the books being currently published. And now she is gone. It reminds of me of when I was at ECCCC and Joshua Fialkov was at the DC panel talking about his upcoming Green Lantern Corp stint. I wonder what happened with Bond.

Just a reminder that I will be working on a May chat thread. By working I mean I will probably poop up something at 11:59 Pacific time (aka the best time). Also Joker's real name will be Wayne Bruce. Called it.

Teenage Fansub posted:I actually love how nothing's bothering with acknowledging it and there are exactly zero series tying in. It's genuinely refreshing. Agreed. I don't want to read some other title just to figure out what is going on in the title I like. It is quite refreshing that JLA is happening in it's own little corner and other titles are free to tell their own story.

Here is a weird matter of opinion kind of question for you goons, but which writers do you think have (or had) the best voice/take on which character. What I mean is that there is usually a character who can be kind of boring or whatnot, but every now and again a writer gets a hold on that character and makes them shine. We know about stuff like Peter David's Hulk run where he got a great voice on the character and made him something special. So which other writer's do you think really excelled with certain characters.

Guess I could give my opinion to my own question. I think Ostrander's Spectre run will never be repeated again. He had such a strong take on both Spectre and Corrigan that the character's seemed more real than before. Through the Spectre, Ostrander managed to explore a lot of themes about what it means to be human, but he also made the conflict between Corrigan (wanting justice) and Spectre (wanting vengeance) to be an interesting inner turmoil. All takes of the Spectre since have paled in comparison to what Ostrander did with the character.
