The way the first post is worded is like you are going to use it against people. Not me obviously I only recommend top quality titles.

Why the fuck would I do that?

 

[TetraxShards]

When we get to the new thread, I will keep a list of posts that mention a comic that is either the best around or a best of certain genre.

Lists, eh?

Make sure Hellboy is the top of uh, something. Best in class of "son of a-" comics

Just how it was worded buddy, might want to take it down a notch.

You would have to mention it in the new thread first. It will be other people mentioning. Think of what Tragic said in the previous page about Invincible.

Fair enough and moving on.

If you don't put Moon Knight on that list I will cry/die.

Again. Someone would have to mention it in passing in the new thread. The complete list will appear in thread after the next one.

Hmm, not sure if I'll mention Hellboy at some point in August.

I didn't like Hellboy, felt it was overwritten and the art early on was trashtier

I'm so disappointed by Jimmy's Bastards. I love Ennis, and I don't have a problem with satirizing progressives. And I know what to expect from him, generally. But when he takes shots at concepts like microagression and creates a villainous organization called "the gender fluid," I get pretty damn uncomfortable. I don't think he really has any clue, here...looked up an interview about it and found this bit


source

That's a super bad look when applied to, say, someone asserting their gender (or lack thereof). And ugh what a tired argument about political correctness. I don't know what the hell he is doing here but I'm out.

This sounds disgusting.

that book does sound pretty lame but he's right that the word problematic actually bad

Using the word lame to describe something you think is in poor taste is problematic. Heh. Heh. But I would be curious as to why you don't like the word problematic.

I think we need to replace Messi as OT creator, this cannot stand.

Yes but, and hear me out on this, if you have lived all your life with an unknown longing for pancakes waiting to be unlocked, Hellboy just might be your book. Someone might come into the thread wanting to know this.

[Lashley]

Invincible like most of Kirkman's work is bad.

no

 

[Lashley]

bigger no

I'd say it's one of the least written comics I've ever read, to it's benefit. The Art compliments the story always.

 

[mreddie]

Soule talked a bit about what Marvel does before hiring you.

Well, fuck, I hate Alonsos/Brevvorts make money quick schemes and Spencer's recent work.

I'm fucked, time to work for Archie...oh wait.

Speaking of Hellboy, there, finally saw the first movie heh, which was enjoyable. I really digged the design of Kroenen.

 

[Sandfox]

Sooo, I caught up with Amazing Spider-Man. And I have very mixed feelings.
The arc with Regent was very good, one of the better arcs in the last years of Slott doing stuff. I liked the banter with Stark, since all the Parker CEO stuff was clearly inspired by the early Iron Man stuff, I was very looking forward to this and I was satisfied.

The next trade, Dead No More was really bad. It has a lot of Bendis-Syndrom. Everyone sounded exactly the same. Everyone is half-jokingly all the time and it kills a lot of the suspense. And I just overall didnt cared what happened. Oh cool, JJJ Senior finally died and Aunt May is solo again. How terrible

Spoiler

(finally, I couldnt wait until this happened)

, oh Max Dillion was randomly killed to be replaced by a female Electro... Electra... Eh. Oh noes, so terrible, I guess she will be around for decades!

And then Clone Conspiracy started and yikes. Jackal was the worst. My issue with everyone having the same voice and banering and joking around continued. It was so horrible. Espescially for the Jackal. Given that he is the insane clone of the insane clone of the insane clone etc of Peter Parker, I can see what Slott was going for with him joking around all the time in the worst manner, but it felt really half assed. Also the Plot really didnt made much sense. Spider-Gwen and Kaine not telling Peter of the upcoming threat, because in other worlds, he helped the Jackal to clone around is just a big plothole. Just take him to Loomworld and show him what happened. Its not that difficult. You should know that "our" Peter Parker would not go for this after seeing this.
For me, there were only two highlights in this Event: Immonens AMAZING! and spectacular art and the great issue in Amazing Spider-Man, in which Peter has a talk with the Gwen-Clone.
I havent read the Silk Tie-In, since I will rather read the whole series since its now canceled, but the Prowler "Ongoing" was really shit. His Inner Monologues were so laughable, he sounded as if he was really deep in Spideys butt. "He acts like a complete idiot and against the guy for which I developed a hastingly developed motivation that makes no real sense, but hey Spidey cant be wrong!" No wonder this shit was canceled after Issue 6.

I really hope Slott is of with Issue 800. The series needs fresh blood. Desperatly.
Still, I am looking forwards the Osborn Arc. Hopefully, its not that bad.

Cheung drew Clone Conspiracy.

I mean, if this is your honest opinion I can respect it. It's terrible and I'll ignore any other comic opinion you express in perpetuity, but I can respect it.

Next thing you know someone is going to say Hellboy is bad...

It's basically what Ennis identifies as the problem ("if you're gonna express disgust don't be polite about it"). The way it's often used obfuscates issues of racism/misogyny/whatever behind a word vague and non-specific enough that you don't have explain what you mean.

Yea, I totally unders-

Since we're all piling on Hellboy right now I just want to say that I have no opinion on the matter. Good day SIRS!

[Coriolanus]

If memory serves, *very early* hellboy does indeed become a bit too verbose sometimes, when mignolla is establishing the mythos, introducing anung un ranma 1/2, cosmic concepts and the like.

Eventually that phase passes, Mignolla firmly settles into Less Is More, and it becomes The Best Comic Ever (along with BZRPXD and the like)

also that rasputin pancake has been The Best Thing Ive Seen All Week (so far).

 

[mreddie]

Hellboy 2 stinks

Hellboy 1 was fun.

Hellboy as a book ranges from great to passable.

 

[Phamit]

I read the Edmondson and Noto Black Widow Run. I liked it a lot, except the Chaos reveal and the end of Chaos. I didn't felt right and wasn't really satisfying. Waid and Samnee is coming next.

Edit: Oh Hellboy Civil-War started. I didn't read any of it. yet.

Mmm going to have to disagree here, just a little. Not that it wasn't more wordy to begin with but I would disagree it's got anything to do with the introduction of the lore; presenting the lore in an opaque manner (and often through fanatical rambling villains lol) is really a hallmark of the book and something that continues throughout. Imo the first volume is more wordy in a very literal way because Mignola isn't the one scripting it, John Byrne is. Almost immediately following Seed Of Destruction you see that shift with Mike taking over.
