Support NeoGAF

[Messi]

Why? That doesn't really do anyone any good. If you like what they've been doing don't allow yourself to not enjoy it.

My problem is a big part of why I am reading this is the art. I also don't really want to support whatever problems dc has with people being married. I am annoyed that they even allowed the writer to get to that point if they werent going to allow it. I am aware I bought dc books today, fuck I dont know . I will read it eventually but it pisses me off right now.

Is it from that lesbian porno webcomic?

Right I just read Forever Evil and uh...I didn't read Trinity War yet but

Spoiler

Fem!Atom was evil all along? Also a weird way to bring in the Earth-3 counterparts but whatev

Speaking of which...Archie just pulled a Flashpoint! Sonic 252 actually starts

Spoiler

with the world being ACTUALLY 'rebooted', but I recall reading that some characters would no longer return due to some creator conflicts?

 

[Filthy Slug]

Have you read The Longbow Hunters? I'm going to assume you haven't because that would mean you didn't enjoy it and The Longbow Hunters is the shit.

Yeah, I put that in my big list o' Ollie books I'm going to pick up asap.

So:
-Year One
-Longbow Hunters
-Archer's Quest

I want to add Winnick but I need to read through an issue beforehand. I like his autobio book and Red Hood Lost Days and that's it. He's fucking stuck in inoffensive-but-bad writer territory.

Thanks, fellas! I'll get back with some thoughts once I'm through with them.

 

[Mafro]

Looking forward to this

 

[slightconfuse]

Yes my boy Karnak front and center

There is a lot of female nudity but it's not porno. There's a story. And one that does more than just bookend the sexy stuff.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

You certainly have a type, La Maquinon

Its from Sunstone and its incredibly reductive to call it that.

Wait, did I see harley is getting a 3d cover? When is that issue out?

 

[TetraxShards]

King's Watch #1 extended preview

I generally like Jeff Parker's stuff and I have childhood nostalgia for Defenders of the Earth so I may give this a try.

 

[Tizoc]

Art looked very familiar to me so I must've confused the two ^^;, but will check out Sunstone.

 

[La Maquinon]

So what's this Inhumanity? I was all excited thinking it was an Inhumans book but it's actually another stupid crossover that incorporates an upcoming Inhumans book?

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Looking forward to this

Ahhh, the Good Old No Link Days.

For all the folks who missed it, Dark Horse digital is running a 99 cent sale on some hero books, namely Black Beetle 1-4 and The Answer 1-4.

Next week. Speaking of Harley, remember that contest I posted yesterday? In the 4th panel where she is in the bath tub with tons of electronics around her is being controversal because its Suicide Prevention month and people say they are sexualizing suicide.

Re: that Dark Horse sale, I hear The Answer is quite good, too.

Yeah my twitter feed is lit up over the Harley Suicide thing.

 

[Dead]

holy shit what?

Source?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Silent War, Hine and Irving

 

[Owzers]

If you've never read Silent War....read Silent War. It was a low key event yet superior to the majority of hyped ones.

 

[Dead]

Shiiiit. Somehow missed that.

Not sure how I feel about it to be honest.

 

[KoruptData]

I admit when I first read it, suicide never popped in my head. In context of the 4 panels its just her being in sticky situations.

If you feature suicide / rape / murder / etc. in your story, you're obviously promoting it. Because you can't just include these things as a vehicle for storytelling. The very thought is preposterous.

I really hate the media, sometimes.

It all depends on the context. Also Harley is a well known psychopath.

 

[slightconfuse]

2007 was a Great year for events

Silent war
Annihilation
Civil war

Also cop dat Jenkins/Lee inhumans mini a well

From what I've read, the complaints are more specific than they're promoting suicide. It's the insensitivity and light-hearted manner in which they are sexualizing it.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Yeah. I like this whole "featuring" it, as if it wasn't pretty much the whole point of the image.

 

[WanderingWind]

What image? Can't seem to find it.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

What image? Can't seem to find it.

It doesn't exist yet. The image is scripted, part of a contest for a new artist for DC to kick off a book before it sees print (lol jk about that last part, deecee's funnie)

You can't say, write, or do shit these days without offending someone. People need to stop getting butt-hurt over things that are meant purely as entertainment.

I think it's the idea of posing suicide as "entertainment".

I bet if it were Joker in a bathtub no one would say a thing.

PANEL 1
Harley is on top of a building, holding a large DETACHED cellphone tower in her hands as lightning is striking just about everywhere except her tower. She is looking at us like she cannot believe what she is doing. Beside herself. Not happy.

PANEL 2
Harley is sitting in an alligator pond, on a little island with a suit of raw chicken on, rolling her eyes like once again, she cannot believe where she has found herself. We see the alligators ignoring her.

PANEL 3
Harley is sitting in an open whale mouth, tickling the inside of the whale’s mouth with a feather. She is ecstatic and happy, like this is the most fun ever.

PANEL 4
Harley sitting naked in a bathtub with toasters, blow dryers, blenders, appliances all dangling above the bathtub and she has a cord that will release them all. We are watching the moment before the inevitable death. Her expression is one of “oh well, guess that’s it for me” and she has resigned herself to the moment that is going to happen.

 

[Messi]

Well the joker is hardly sexual lol

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Well the joker is hardly sexual lol

Also he probably even wears that purple suit in the tub.

 

[Messi]

I really am trying to avoid reading those descriptions as I am quite looking forward to reading that book unspoiled. The controversy in the past few days has ruined batwoman for me and now a page of this lol

Isn't it just a pin up?

The page?

 

[Anticitizen One]

What is a good starting point for Inhumans? The Paul Jenkins mini from the early 00s? Or do I need to go earlier than that?

 

[ReiGun]

I imagine he wears the Hawaiian get up from Killing Joke. Likes to pretends he's on vacation.

 

[B-Dubs]

With a tropical drink?

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

The page?

Yeah, uh, I wouldn't worry about it being "in continuity" from the sound of it lol

 

[MartyStu]

I'm all for a Jean/Logan pairing, but I'm not sure I want it at the expense of Logan/Storm.

That was just a tease. It is not a thing.

 

[ReiGun]

The scene doesn't sound particularly sexual. Actually sounds pretty depressing. All comes down to the drawing though.

With a tropical drink?

And a henchman playing the ukelele in the background.

 

[Tizoc]

Just that'll do I think, but you could read the Kirby+Stan Lee stories they appeared in during the early FF stories.
Other than that War of Kings.

 

[GrandHarrier]

Harley stuff sounds like manufactured controversy.

 

[Messi]

Yeah, uh, I wouldn't worry about it being "in continuity" from the sound of it lol

Oh yeah, I get that
