I really hope that we move out of the faux 80s nostalgia stuff, with like Stranger Things, and into faux 90s nostalgia. Because then the'll be able to make a X-Statix movie

Archyduke posted:I suppose so broadly, but as far as I'm concerned that precise moment in Marvel comics-- X-Statix, Morrisson's X-Men, Bendis on Daredevil, etc.-- was deliberately and pretty effectively a break with what came before it. If you compare the first page of New X-Men to the last page of Lobdell's brief fill-in run it's like falling asleep in one century and waking up in another. Say what you will about Joe Quesada's stewardship but he cleared a lot of brush, and the best of Marvel's 2000/2001 stuff (I'm including here Ultimate Spidey) feels much more like a tone-setting for the next decade rather than the dying throes of the previous one. But that's your perspective from knowing about comics. From the perspective of a general person, MTV, Big Brother, Spice Girls, skateboarding, all that culture that X-Statix was drawing from, was the 90s. So if they make an X-Statix movie general audiences are gonna see it as a 90s throwback. Lurdiak posted:Everyone knows the 90s ended on 9/11. yeah

CapnAndy posted:I was hoping for actual trenchant analysis of LGBT issues in Archie comics, especially focusing on Jughead's long hinted-at homosexuality/asexuality and Kevin Keller, but nope it is some high-larious out of context panels that may or may not have been photoshopped instead. Oh well. Yeah but that's everyday for you. Every day you wake up hoping for actual trenchant analysis of social issues in Archie comics. Sometimes you get it, but you still have to be expecting disappointment by now.

Does anybody have a link to that video where Alan Moore is speaking Spanish or Italian or something, and he's in a comic shop and talks about using pages of Green Lantern as rolling papers?

I finally got around to watching Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Relies too much on dick jokes, but otherwise really good.

Skwirl posted:I think comic stores will always exist, but the amount will probably shrink in the short term at least. Amazon didn't annihilate Borders or Barnes and Noble. Borders was killed by corporate malfeasance, the same thing that's currently killing Barnes and Noble.

CapnAndy posted:I mean, you're not entirely wrong, but Amazon is still at least a proximate cause; Borders went down because they ignored digital sales and e-readers entirely and Barnes and Noble is dropping because even though they didn't, the Nook simply can't hang against the Kindle. No, dude. Barnes and Noble is currently being intentionally killed by executives. They're selling the long term survival of the company for short term gains for themselves. http://audreyii-fic.tumblr.com/post/170886347853/the-entirely-unnecessary-demise-of-barnes-noble

I think we probably have enough superhero comics about superhero comics at this point.
