Bore Comics Thread: Crisis On Infinite Megathreads

[parallax]

Was Captain America even dead for a year?  I remember he was time-displaced or something equally as stupid as what happened when Batman "died."

Then then killed Bucky-Cap...only they didn't and he's the Winter Soldier again.   

he wasnt gone for any real amount of time. they brought him back and he was steve rodgers on secret avengers. then the cap movie started to come around, and that was the end of buckys reign.

Shot with a time-bullet, both of 'em. You couldn't make this stuff up (or one of them didn't!)

when Batman "died."

Caveman Batman was kinda fun. Then the reality of the story arc set in for me. I weeped a little.

[Great Rumbler]

Batman, at least, was never meant to actually be dead, just set adrift in time and assumed dead by a lot of people within the comic world. He was always going to come back after a while regardless. Captain America was supposed to really, totally, absolutely be DEAD. But then they brought him back anyway because whatever.

The Marvel stunt is working for sales, probably because they showed issue #50 on the View

The issue immediately sold out and people who never buy comics have been coming in the shop asking for it every day since it came out.

[bork]

Seems like they should stop killing characters and start doing more gay weddings instead!

same thing happened with caps death. now lets see if it holds.

If Batman married Superman, I guarantee that would be the highest selling issue of any printed media ever.

Hype it up for a year.  At the wedding Bruce places a kryptonite ring on Clark's finger and kicks his teeth in.  Clark accidentally chokes on them and dies in the next issue.

That's what The Authority was about, with Apollo and Midnighter.

Oh hai, what's this?

[Cormacaroni]

two good comics?

Sorry, I gotta get my cape-and-cowl fuckfest fix. Please forgive me this sin, Cormac. My next order has Flex Mentallo: Man of Muscle Mystery in it, if that helps.

[Cormacaroni]

Flex is amazing, two thumbs up

I quit Animal Man actually. It got a lot less interesting once Travel Foreman left. His work on the first collection is still pretty extraordinary though. Batman continues to be well-done fan service but nothing more.

[Joe Molotov]

I haven't read any of the singles, beyond a couple of #1's.

[Joe Molotov]

Alan Scott kissing some dude:



BTW, I read Justice League: Origins and it was amazing. It's like "how can make this exciting and full of explosions but still explain everyone's origins and backstories and motivations for the 5 people that never read a comic book but accidentally bought this because they saw it on Fox News? Let's just cram the exposition in between the explosions!" So then you get a scene like:

*EXPLOSIONS*

Green Lantern: "I don't have to listen to you Batman, you're just some guy in a bat suit that doesn't have any superpowers. I'm Hal Jordan, I have this awesome ring that let's me create anything I can imagine that I was given to me by the Guardians of the Universe when they made me a Green Lantern and entrusted me to protect space sector 2814, which is where Earth is!"

Batman: "I can tell that you're doing this because you're trying to live up to the legacy of your father, who is dead. I know this because I, Bruce Wayne, also had my parents killed and so I decided to become Batman to avenge their deaths by fighting bad guys."

*EXPLOSIONS*

I'm paraphrasing, but that's pretty much exactly the way it happened. Actually, it was more hilarious in the comic because Batman actually takes off his cowl for some reason.

I think Ed Brubaker is the closest thing you guys have to Alan Moore.

[Joe Molotov]

It would be awesome if Earth-2 had Gay Superman, Gay Batman, Gay Flash, etc, and they all had goatees.

[Eric P]

I think Ed Brubaker is the closest thing you guys have to Alan Moore.

the cool thing about comics is that we all have alan moore

except earth two

they have anal moore.

Trade one gay character for another... whatever. Hopefully the stories are good.

I don't know earth two, but it sounds scary. The thing is I've been researching Brubakers work, and holy shit, he's just so amazingly consistent. But unlike Anal, is rather more open to Hollywoods priapic cock-monster. I guess that'll change sooner or later.

But maaaaan, him and the artist guy they have a serious alchemy, one thats a rare and beauteous thing. I bought Moores Lost Girls, and it's just porn.

took the afternoon off because i was having stomach troubles, decided to read Crossed

not the wisest of decisions, upon reflection

Mile Morales is a case of Bendis being an unoriginal hack. It's the result of people saying Donald Glover would make a good Spider-Man.

Read all of Brubaker's Cap run. Even when he goes all Silver Age crazy like in last year's Cap relaunch, it's good.

marvel pushing him like he was something new also reeks of bendis now that i think about it...

Just read a graphic novel called A God Somewhere.

It had some really excellent panels, and some good dialogue, but I felt that the story was far too rushed. It felt like a cliffnotes version of what the story should have been.

I found that very disappointing. Arcudi writes most of the Hellboy/BPRD stuff so was expecting more than yet another bad Superman story with the same old absolute power corrupts yada yada. The Mighty was a far more sinister take on that, at least for the first half (there have been about a dozen of these at this point, won't list all of 'em...).

Huh. Ok. Yes I will. Although I never really liked Cap Amer for obvious reasons.

[ManaByte]

Marvel's 50th Anniversary Spider-Man event wasn't so bad. It was Spidey (in special armor he made just for fighting the Sinister Six) with Black Widow and Silver Sable fighting the Sinister Six. Spider-Man punching out Al Gore (who was really the Chameleon) at the G8 conference was pretty funny.

And more anal, which you get with Italy's Milo Manara.

[Cormacaroni]

Comparing Ed Brubaker to Alan Moore is like comparing Elmore Leonard to Don DeLillo - why???

Bought a few trades by my waifu Gail Simone.

Sitting on my pile for the week. Maybe tonight.

Honestly while I thought the Miles Morales shit was lol worthy, I do believe Glover would make a great Spider-Man; he's certainly better than the guy in the new movie imo.

(I'm a Glover fanboy)

[Cormacaroni]

So did anyone read Minute Men #1?

No, not even going to steal it. It just makes me feel queasy and question the integrity of everyone involved. Even if Alan Moore had written it, and Dave Gibbons had drawn it, i'd STILL feel it was an unnecessary cash-in that could do nothing but cheapen the original.

[Cormacaroni]

Joe's taste seems to be improving - the Secret Six stuff is all good, albeit with pretty hacky art, and Fourth World and Flex are god tier of course.

I had my LGS set aside a copy for me but I haven't picked it up.  The only thing that could possibly come from it is disappointment.

I'll probably still cave like a jackass and pick it up

This, precisely. I don't even want to let it into my head.

Read Flex Mentallo yesterday, it was awesome. What Morrison thing should I read next: Animal Man or Doom Patrol?

[Eric P]

yes

[Cormacaroni]

good answer

comixology had a Morrison-themed sale recently and I picked up most of that stuff again, in nice shiny new scans. Looking forward to re-reading DP. I haven't looked at it since it came out. Blew my mind back then.

[Eric P]
