COMICS! |OT| April 2015. Everyone's burned out and looking for an excuse to quit.

Personal stuff aside, Edmison is a completely shit writer.

I have no problem with people that have certain conservative views, but the whole "Edmondson used to work for an organization that actively fought against gay marriage" makes me glad I've never purchased one of his titles.

Someone please tell me that Noto is nothing like Edmondson and Gerads!

Ugh I read Punisher for a while...do I have to vote for Rand Paul now? :/

Sorry bro they're worse. I just checked and they supported Caprice Alves, spokesperson for The Rent Is Too Damn High party.

Funny thing: Remender totally had Wade take a shit on Punisher in Uncanny X-Force. Pretty sure it was a Noto issue, so maybe not!

4 minutes, he isnt here and we dont have popcorn :(((

Your friend played it smart, brah. He invited you knowing you'd get there early and grab good seats for you both so he could stroll in just after the previews finish and enjoy the movie without dealing with the lines, the waiting, etc.
 
Finally got around to reading LumberJanes 13, loved it. Really appreciative about the return to Brooke Allen's artwork. Her style suits the comic much better imo.

Jo's face in the 2nd panel killed me #doteyesforever.

I should maybe get around to buying deadly class

one of these days

doooooooo it
 
Great Chris Eckert piece if you wanna feel bad about ever supporting the current run of Punisher in any way like I am, because holy shit the kind of bullshit Edmonson and Gerads are about is fucking gross.
I read a few issues of that run and while I love the Ennis and Aaron runs, which aren't exactly bleeding heart, some of the subtext made my skin crawl. So I'm totally not surprised here.
There's always been an element of parody and hyperbole in these two runs that didn't make them look like a stand-your-ground-shithead manifesto. This one takes itself seriously and really reads like hardcore conservative porn.

<3 Kot.
 
So he's actually a homophobe?

if both of Edmonson and Gerads are really conservative then that would put that one panel with that black soldier with comically large lips more in context....

he uhh, also (allegedly of course since it's all anecdotal) has a real particular outlook on women and seems to have a few problems regarding their personal space
 
So how long until a right wing conservative site picks this news up? They already wrote about gay Iceman and they love to talk about people who support Chris Kyle.
 
I want to post my collection, but I would prefer it if people thought I had bizarre shit on my shelves. Like that severed torso from Dead Island and like MLP shit and like a Rick Grimes shrine (which I may or may not actually have). I like to leave things to the imagination.

My new headcanon is that you are in possession of the Lyra plush (if you don't know what that is, don't Google it, very NSFW).

I read the first two issues of Edmonson's Punisher run and was very bored. With these revelations, I'm glad to have not enjoyed it.

Sorry for those Punisher and Black Widow fans, though.

What's that DC comic where the gimmick was they paired off a liberal writer and a conservative one? I know there's that Simone/Van Sciver Firestorm comic but this was before that i think.

e: vvv ah yes! DC Universe: Decisions! Marvel should totally do that with Kot and Edmonson
 
On that same note, if you want to get a really cool commission that's original and embodies that artists skills and style, let them draw you whatever the fuck they want. I love that my Ryan Browne commission is some crazy ass monster he came up with that day and not just a drawing of a preexisting character done in his style. Same with the weird ass clown my wife got from Chip Zdarsky. I feel like if you want an artist to draw a character they are known for, just buy one of their pages.

I'm really debating on doing this. I was planning on getting different artists style of Batman.
But I've learned that an artist really does his best when you just kinda let then run free. I have a ton of tattoos and most of the time I will give them a vague idea of what I want and tell them to do whatever they want. Usually turns out best that way.

Decisions :/

Hah, Decisions. I was going to suggest the book would have to involve Bill Willingham.

This reminds me, every now and then I see these political biographies pop up on Comixology and they always look terrible. Has anyone ever given these a try? I think this week was Rand Paul.

Edit: hey now, don't diss Dillon's shitface.

Holy shit at this drama going down! I'm glad I never really got into The Punisher, but if I'm being honest I'm pretty devastated about likely dropping Black Widow now.

The Chris Kyle stuff doesn't really bother me as much, but being a straight up homophobe and from what I'm gathering, a sexist too, now that's enough for me to fucking jump off your book.

I feel like people need to embrace those they don't like and give them money if they put out a decent comic book, but that's just me.

Ted Cruz 2016.
 
Isn't Willingham a wet shart of a person as well? I've always heard he was a huge turd.

I heard he has problematic opinions on women which caused Polygon's Author Gies to not wanna suppot The Wolf Among Us but I've been told from a mod that Willingham is just messing with people. IDK.

He's very conservative but I've never read anything about him on a personal level and I've never felt it was particularly obvious in his books.

I'd appreciate if you guys made any shattering revelations about him once Fables is over, though. I dropped Stardock games last year, I'd rather not drop another thing I like anytime soon.

I mean, I guess it's what you define as obvious, right?

pretty sure there's some weird abortion stuff in Fables somewhere too, but idk

I mean you do realize that Fables' very first arc is a pro-Israel metaphor right?

Fair enough, but I don't like his Punisher anyway. And I was never interested in Black Widow anyway. So I'm safe from your ghastly reasonable criticism.

And I know you're joking, but your point is reasonable.

I dunno about embrace. I'll probably finish out Black Widow through Last Days Of. I've already done it the whole way. Not gonna punish Noto. Wasn't in it for the writing much anyway.
