I can't be certain but it looks like the black paint spot on the front of my batwoman statue's bat is growing...i tried to use an eraser on it because i read something about it on the internet when searching about tilted headed funko bobbles but now i'm thinking that is a bunch of nonsense.

Internet nonsense.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Internet nonsense.

Clearly the worst kind.

 

[Rhaknar]

RIP Darwyn Cooke :/

 

[TheFlow]

Yup. Time travel was involved. It was up to three Thors to take down this dude.

Then yea Last days of Magic is similar but cross dimensional/multiple realities.


This dude rekted all the magic users including Wanda, Magik, doctor voodoo and more.


I also loved the flash back of Doctor Strange first training under the ancient one. that was really cool how they did. plus the epic fight in #6 is definitely an Eye-orgasm when it comes to art. It like the page becomes 3-D

 

[Freezasaurus]

RIP Darwyn Cooke :/

WAT!?

oh God damn it.

RIP Darwyn. You were one of the greats.

 

[TheFlow]

RIP Darwyn Cooke :/

no way?

 

[More_Badass]

Can we get a God of War-meets-Witcher-style Goddamned game? Because that would be amazing

 

[Rhaknar]

WAT!?

oh God damn it.

RIP Darwyn. You were one of the greats.

I just learned he had cancer today and now just saw kurt busiek on twitter say RIP so I guess it was in the final stages >_<

Fuck cancer, it terrifies me

 

[Freezasaurus]

I just learned he had cancer today and now just saw kurt busiek on twitter say RIP so I guess it was in the final stages >_<

Yeah, it's starting to pop up on twitter.

They said he was going into palliative care, which is like hospice. It pretty much means it's a matter of when, not if.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

There's no official confirmation about Cooke, but a bunch of creators posting on Twitter about it now

RIP

 

[Rhaknar]

Dat wonderful art tho

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Allred deleted his tweet about it (he posted it first) and so did Jeff Parker

Maybe we should wait for a confirmation

 

[TheFlow]

Kinda feel like crying.
Edit: will wait for confirmation. Going to buy some of his books

 

[Rhaknar]

Did he do any Marvel stuff? I love that cartoony stuff as you know. Also no joke but yhats another artist that would be awesome on Squirrel Girl :/

Efit: kurt busiek deleted the tweet also.

 

[mreddie]

RIP Darwyn Cooke :/

Good night Legend

 

[Freezasaurus]

Remember when DC did Darwyn Cooke variant month?

 

[VanWinkle]

Not going to believe it until I hear anything from an actual source.

Spider man, Wolverine and doop, and an issue of X force.

You're right. Keep F5'ing Bleeding Cool.

 

[TheFlow]

fuck his art is soo good.

 

[Rhaknar]

Yooooooooo

Ive never read this. Time to fix this

 

[Freezasaurus]

Yooooooooo

 

[Rhaknar]

What does his art remind me off? DC animated stuff right?

 

[VanWinkle]

What does his art remind me off? DC animated stuff right?

There's definitely some Bruce Timm stylings in his work. It's kind of like a mix of him and Jack Kirby.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Bruce Timm

 

[Freezasaurus]

What does his art remind me off? DC animated stuff right?

Yeah, it has a Bruce Timm quality to it, sure. But I think it's more firmly rooted in golden age comics.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

He did a Batman Beyond short so you're not far off

 

[TheFlow]

He did a Batman Beyond short so you're not far off

why haven't we gotten another Batman beyond show.


edit: all I have left to read from my Marvel Spurge is Vision and Iron man. been a great 2 days of crazy comics. I need to go back and read all of Thor 2014-2015

 

[frye]

He did a Batman Beyond short so you're not far off

he worked on the Batman and Superman cartoons before he did comics too iirc and was the main guy who did the Batman Beyond intro

 

[Vyer]

damn it

 

[Nudull]

If he's really gone, then...damn. o.o

 

[VanWinkle]

I wish we could get an official statement on this. Twitter's blowing up with it but there's no statement about it. Maybe I'm just in denial, but still.

I'm going with false alarm that is feeding on itself.

 

[VanWinkle]

Yeah. I mean, who knows, maybe it's true, but it seems like nobody is trying to find the original source and are just going off what everyone else is saying.

The source was a mike allred tweet

 

[VanWinkle]

The source was a mike allred tweet

Which was deleted a good while, and the tweets keep pouring in. Ugh, it's just frustrating that everybody is posting without trying to find a confirmation and/or statement.

Who is this "everybody"?

 

[BuddyJoeHooker]

Who is this "everybody"?

A lot of artist and writers of the industry.

 

[VanWinkle]

Who is this "everybody"?

Oh I'm looking at the Live tab of "Darwyn Cooke" on Twitter. Getting like 20+ tweets a minute of people saying "RIP" and stuff to that effect.

My bad I thought you meant us

 

[VanWinkle]

Oh, no, sorry for the confusion there.

 

[my name is ed]

Personally, I wouldn't take it as news until theres an actual announcement from his family/spokesman/agent

 

[VanWinkle]

Personally, I wouldn't take it as news until theres an actual announcement from his family/spokesman/agent

Yup, 100% agreed.

 

[frye]

the "officialest" source seems to be from the Joe Shuster awards website but idk

 

[VanWinkle]

So there was one "source" (I quote that because it was completely unsubstantiated) which was the Joe Shuster Awards website. They were reporting Cooke's death but didn't say where they got the information. Well they have since deleted the article, so there's literally ZERO sources on this, but people still keep tweeting RIP faster than I can keep up.

I wish people (on Twitter) would do the slightest bit of research before just accepting something as fact.

 

[BKatastrophe]

Sooooooooooo like, has anyone read Busiek's Invincible Iron Man? Curious as to some opinions...

 

[whatsinaname]

Yeah

I just spent almost $80 getting Zenith and each of the four books is under 150 pages

Now order the gorgeous slipcase from the 2000AD website to house them.

I can't be certain but it looks like the black paint spot on the front of my batwoman statue's bat is growing...i tried to use an eraser on it because i read something about it on the internet when searching about tilted headed funko bobbles but now i'm thinking that is a bunch of nonsense.

Internet nonsense.

This paint obsession is straight out of some Poe short story.
