So a friend of mine wanted to get into more superhero sort of stuff with comics but doesn't know where to start. I told him I'd come up with a list of some great short primers that he can use to get the vibes and various tones and see where to go from there. I was trying to work on a list and I realized a lot of the ones I like are very long or very context heavy - I don't want him having to constantly google shit, maybe look up one or two references an issue at most.The only ones I could think of off the top of my head was JLA: Year One because part of the gimmick was trying to help define most of the founding JLA members - but even that one references a LOT of other stuff towards the latter half so I'm not sure if it'd be a good option among the list.What I'm ultimately trying to find are runs as such:>12 issues or less>Are a good lens into the character(s) without feeling like you need much if any prior context that can't be summed up in a paragraph>No edgier or more shocking than like, NextwaveOtherwise sky's the limit. Anyone able to offer some good recs?

>>150241750I think he'd be better off reading the Morrison run on JLA.New readers don't care about origin stories. That's mostly a thing that long-time readers care about because they've been into the hobby long enough to develop an interest in the lore.
The World's Greatest Superheores series by Paul Dini and Alex Ross are super accessible. Superman: Peace on Earth, Batman: War on Crime, Shazam: Power of Hope, Wonder Woman: Spirit of Truth, and Justice League: Liberty and Justice.Not sure if there's a Marvel equivalent (though Marvels by Kurt Busiek and also Alex Ross comes to mind) but the the color series by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale work pretty well. Daredevil: Yellow, Hulk: Grey, Spider-Man Blue and Captain America: White.
>>150242825I was thinking Morrison's JLA but the first like third or so is just full of random shit because it basically was just the betweener for bigger events. Among other things the first saga in it is post-death Mulletman and then right after that is Blueperman and the most they talk about it is going "Oh yeah this happened to him for some reason." I trust in most people's intelligence to not be too thrown off by things being a little odd but that one's just too wide a jump.>>150243191These are some pretty good suggestions, I'll pass them along, thanks anon!

>>150238789Where? When?
Why's he so grumpy?
>>150240501I think zeurel said those 2 characters were apparently based on his real cats.
he is a late 90s/early aughts cartoon character in a mid 2020s worldseriously, it is criminal how little attention monkey wrench gets despite being very goodpeak Disney animated series animation aimed at an older demographicjust no real market place value that real passion supports
>>150242584I think it's simply because Zeurel doesn't have the marketing team behind Helluva Boss, Digital Circus, Skibidi Toilet. His voice actors aren't doing free advertisement for him and most of his fanbase isn't very loud and in other circles trying to convince others to watch it in a cascading effect.
>>150235076MW is neither fun nor interesting and despite its good animation the actual art style isn't very appealing either. It sadly has nothing really going for it.
>>150242890It's good, aside from the first episode which was painful for me (at least on the first watch).I hated how the fucking bird kept saying "Ghost egg NoOOoOOo".
I can’t imagine a whole room of lizards or whatever animal they were just sitting there for 20 minutes and nobody telling him? Funerals have scheduled so bojack speaking for 20 minites wouldve taken away from somebody else who was meant to be there speaking.Just logically, how comes absoloutly nobody interrupted him once??
>>150240996>cartoons>logic
>>150240996would you interrupt a celebrity?
>>150240996Was it twenty actual minutes or was it five minutes with 15 minutes worth of flashbacks that were going through his head as he spoke?
>>150241236This is a realistic one
>>150240996As long as the overall length of the funeral doesn't exceed its allotted time the funeral home isn't going to care and attendees are realistically not going to interrupt someone unless they think the person is violating funeral etiquette.
Do you think the Supergirl movie is going to be good?I was pretty indifferent to the comic of Woman of Tomorrow.
>>150240654The artist is a one-trick pony.
I want James Gunn to purposely fuck with people by bringing in Linda Danvers and Kara Zor-El as both canon in the DCU. I want my white T-shirt, big titties Supergirl back.
>>150242885Heaven forbid a man have a niche.
>>150238515Depends on whether they pussy out on showing Supergirl having a secret harem.
>>150243167 (me)>>150238515DC made that bed with the hecking wholesome chungus hopeful universe's Krypton, and now they gotta lie in it.

>>150241714Here's suggestions, maybe sideboard.
>>150241714>a 4 color standard deckPretty bad, especially if you're running that many cards with double color pips. You're gonna have a seriously hard time making sure you have the right colors in time for what you wanna use them for.
>>150241344>>150241452Okay? The core concept of the the game is still collecting things from different worlds. If you like the in-universe planes better that's fine, and it's fair to be disappointed they'll be getting less focus, but dont pretend adding worlds from existing IPs suddenly changes the nature of the game.
>>150242374The nature is, in fact, altered. The "different worlds" are all part of the same narrative. Changing IPs changes narratives.
>>150241246He's not actually part octopus. Spidey gets the spider type because he has spider blood, spider blood, radioactive spider blood, and Green Goblin gets the goblin type because of the goblin serum. Doc Ock is just a guy with extra robot arms.
A D!

I'm still mad

>SU imageAh, so you're just projecting. Back to your Peridot thread, tranny.
They made Trixie way too endearing and relatable in this episode, so they spent the rest of the show's existence trying to reduce her down to an airheaded attention whore.
>>150243008Trixie is just a case of a character's likability being dependent on who is writing her. There was no time scale to this thing. She was a literal villain who happily stole Timmy's video games in an episode right after OPs. Then there was a season 7 episode where she was a total sweetheart to Timmy's mom (in his body). And then an episode around the same time where Trixie and Timmy's mom insult each other. There was no rhyme or reason or consistency to those things, so I can understand why people in this thread are frustrated...
>>150242941Cope fag
TerribleI cannot stop laughing at how stupidly tiny he made Bubbles in the last panel
>>150242803>I find you being kind and supportive incredibly sexy.Maybe she should've tried it a few decades ago.

What do you want to see from her?
>>150204572Adam and Lute were blatantly bad. But they were still probably the most enjoyable characters. They had a clear dynamic, hyped each other up in a funny ways, and unlike the other villains they had some form of payoff rather than just set-up without follow-up.
>>150239351Got just the man too.
>>150241529Some sort of combination of A and E with Stella added.

Grey Spy sucked and I always skip those now. She wouldn't have sucked if she at least lost occasionally.
