well since im not really getting any bites in the slack, im just gonna start posting my astro city thoughts here while i read through - lmao the story about the comic publisher who pisses off some cosmic entity so bad they literally erase the entire building with him in it - the perfect distillation of the absurdity of life in a multi-book comic line   - im fascinated by this history element about the old soldier taking sides against america in the vietnam war - The story about the living Barbie doll was much better than i expected from the premise - a small thing i appreciate about astro city is that all the newspaper clippings actually have text you can read and provide lore for the story site fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Jan 25, 2020 |

showing life in the superhero world from alternative perspectives in just incredibly refreshing to me right now. like the dark age books mayyybe went on a bit too long, but watching the history of the city through the eyes of someone who wasnt superman but whose lives just happened to intersect with major moments was great. it kind of makes you step back and see how you can appreciate the severity of some things without needing like a 6 issue arc to explain how the justice league got to the climatic battle. and the silver centurions time travel was aneat hook, that tbh i thought was mildly less interesting when busiek went back a few issues later to explain it. i didnt want it explained, and it didnt need to be to work

Skwirl posted:When Busiek wrote "Marvels" there's a bunch of newspaper clippings that he never thought anyone would read so he wrote dumb in jokes and and poo poo. And then people dug out microscopes and figured out what they said. being digital where you can zoom in on small text helps. but this reminds me of the second issues punchline: "how a justice league epic battle story becomes 'shark on train tracks' headline" lol Random Stranger posted:It's something that the superhero genre is sorely lacking since it is something built on escapism. Yeah, a lot of readers aren't interested in what's happening with that guy who's stuck behind the Batmobile in traffic, but there's a lot of human drama that has to occur around superheroes that we just never see because it's time to move on to the next issue with the next big fight. seriously, i would love an ongoing like this in the marvel u but itd probably get cancelled faster than future foundation

It's a small thing but I like that in astro city time is like a real thing and people age out of heroism and move on with their lives

im nearing the end of astro city and im not really feeling the meta story busiek has been working on with this 4th wall breaking david bowie knockoff. it just..feels kinda tryhard? like i can almost imagine him at the desk being like haha yes! while hes writing it and i dont have the heart to say to his face that its not working lol. hopefully however it ends pays off tho the actual stories within have still been good though. like the origin of the gentleman ended up being fairly melancholy and the g-dog story winds up a real tearjerker

i bet you could write a pretty good, if regularly depressing, spin off series entirely about the super battle related trauma support group that caps of astro city what a great series, front to back a joy to read. highly recommended

Random Stranger posted:DC Universe has the couple of revival books from about a decade ago and the Static cartoon, but none of the Milestone comics. I won't be surprised if there's licensing hang ups there. didnt mcduffies wife sue dc over milestone a year or two back? i seem to have avgue recollections about something like that

iirc heroes was good for about the first half of the season and then things kinda fell apart at the end and then the next two seasons were absolutely garbage. actually i do recall there being an arc in s2 i think where they temporarily did something interesting with the serial killer guy before having him regress into being boring serial killer guy again, but the fakeout is probably part of why i have memories of s2 being bad site fucked around with this message at 17:46 on Mar 14, 2020 |

on the one hand it is slightly strange that there are like 60 issues of fuckin rick and morty but there isnt a venture bros comic, on the other id rather not have venture bros get bogged down because someone elses lovely comic because thats probably what would happen

the thing about transformation sequences is theyre cool once or twice or a few times but then they are just padding that allows the production to save on time needed to film per week

Everything should've been shut down at least 2 weeks ago. i extremely dont care about irl comic businesses being hurt by the global pandemic, i say as i sit here perusing the comic book forum on the internet if you dont care log the gently caress off and shut up
