Are there any good direct comic adaptations?
>>150247847>>150247935>Actually having Lois holding Stalingrad and then hearing the words come out of Braniac instead of going "PUT WORLD IN BOTTLE SUPERMAN, OH NO WHAT I DOOOO?!?!" is a more satisfying climax.anon, i can probably count the times superman directly interacted with lois in the comic on one hand.>you don't have to like something to understand itbut the thing is you really don't get it.
>>150241445They are fun, and they are quite easy to watch, I recommend you all of them.
>>150241445Motion comics and audio books (that aren't rewritten) are good because they're literally the same thing just with voices.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K92KciDNWoY

>>150217878What is cel animation?
>>150217878>dude cel animation LOLWhat about it?
>>150217924To be fair, with the advent of AI, you can cel shade anything. Eventually.
I read 6 issues and I can't believe I liked a modern comic. Don't care for the art much but the writing and presentation are actually interesting and kept my interest and had me wanting to see what happened next, like the olden days.Have any of you anons been surprised by a modern comic that you liked?
>>150244762I like it for the art mostly. The writing is alright; it's trying something less common and not doing a horrible job. I don't like any other Absolute or Ultimate book.
>>150246051I think it could be great as an ongoing, but I don't think editorial would ever let it. The absolute books are clearly trying to do the hard shonen thing, but that still means pretty familiar big supporting casts and one-upping of stakes. AMM isn't that, it's zeroed in on its main character and has a tiny cast. I'd love to see that stretched out over 100 good issues, and I'm sure it wouldn't be as risky as editorial fears, but it won't happen. For now I just hope they can stick the landing. 12 issues or 100, a good ending isn't easy.I will say though, I don't know how Absolute Superman is going to drag out its story much longer. It seems Superman's already seen the pinnacle of Lazarus, what's stopping him from taking them down by issue 20? But I have no idea how long these books were even planned to run for. And Flash is just a snoozefest. The others have potential that I hope they can meet.
>>150250070>what's stopping him from taking them down by issue 20?He should. I don't think his story should stop at Lazarus. There are many more options. Similarly how Absolute batman isn't just focusing one enemy. This superman isn't yet the symbol of hope.
>>150250207>This superman isn't yet the symbol of hope.Superman being "The Symbol of Hope" is retarded anyway. He is a big strong guy who punches people

26 years ago today on September 6, 1999 Cybersix premiered on Teletoon in Canada and Telefe in Argentina.
>>150249490Their was a 4chan thread of the person who worked on the DVD had started a thread on /co asking for help on the extras. He even payed money out of his own wallet to pay for extra bonus features for the fans.
>>150249661I remember industry people coming here semi regularly. Seems to not happen anymore.
>>150227014It's an anime adaptation of an Argentinian comic which alone is uniqueThe comic alone had stuff like the little shit villain raping a bitchThe main is kinda hot and kinda cute even when she's pretending to be a guyThe art style is unique, still looks like a superhero cartoon of the era but with that Japanese studio quality in its animation It's not that hard to see why people still think about it, not everything has to be about trannies
>>150249920Why is that? And why was that? /co/ is still the place with industry people and leaks in my mind
bump
Cartoons are the only thing that keep me going after work. Thanks for being here /co/

This is easily the worst animated thing Netflix has doneThe question though is what went so horribly wrong with Marmaduke (besides the bad animation and the fact Pete Davidson, J.K Simmons and David Koechner were dragged into this)

God knows why I feel like reading comics again. I read them mostly between 1997-2009, then I stopped completely. Pic related is the kind of stuff I remember enjoying the most. What current titles would recommend to me based on these?
>>150245472Some of those are not current or even ongoings.
OP, I'd recommend looking into older stuff that you missed out on the first time around. I think that's what most of us few remaining comics readers do.
>>150242488Maybe Dark Patterns. I'm barely starting to read it myself. It's okay.
>>150242488Kaijumax, the other earth, etc...

I need to watch this movie, but it's so adorable and innocent that I feel so dirty and vile by comparisonAnd if I stare too long, I'd probably break down and cry
>>150251604Watch it anon, it's free on Youtube.
>>150251604I'd say the VA are pretty job at their job but man is it very trippy. I saw this in 70's as a kid and had the book based on the movie.
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?
>>150243226Batman: Year One, The Long Halloween and Dark Victory are pretty solid early grounded Batman stories, although some people dislike the art in the latter two.Ive heard people really dog Geoff John's Superman stuff, also had Waid's Secret Identity recommended, but I haven't had a chance to read those. They both recently got reprints though.

>>150241750What chu' got?
It is no surprise that power creep is a thing in comicbooks, but how do you feel about them? Look at the Hulk for example.His original story was a guy who got hit with a gamma bomb and became a monster that get stronger when mad, simple enough. Now, he's the avatar of the evil version of the god of the Marvel universe and he wants to destroy the universe itself and he can't die...what? Do you believe that moments like those take away from the character of what they original were? Almost like a fan who got a job at their favorite studio and decided to make a their favorite character unbeatable and ignore what make them so special or do you believe it's writers trying to bring in newer fans with new origins?
>>150241926Whenever they let a supervillain actually be a major threat to heroes or have some significant moments with how much writers love to sideline and shit on them.
Mutants tend to be really bad at power creep because X-gene leaves little room for alteration.It always feels like just making shit up. Other characters can spin some shit to try and make sense but X-characters have a shared power origin and even when adding new shit writers are rarely allowed to say the power is more than the X-gene. Even all that storm shit her X-gene still gets full credit.
>>150239926I know comics and ultra-longform fiction is allergic to it, but isn't the mystery better than the answer? The gentle giant is haunted by ghosts; why do they choose him?Sure, the answers can be interesting, but only once. Mysteries can hold us forever.There needs to be some things in comics where editorial needs to just say "We can never share the answer. We know what it is, but we won't put it to print."
>>150239310This could be solved easily if cape writers took a note from fantasy writers and understood the "Limitations > Powers" aproach of writing prevents power creep. When was the last you read a story where a superhero can't solve the problem with their own powers?
>>150241926Molecule Man discovering his potential after overcoming his low self-esteem in Secret War was great
Gumball thinks anime Nicole is kind of sexy
ANIMU BLUE TITS
Was S7 really that bad? I never got around to watching it,
>>150252381It was meh. Not a single "hype" inducing episode
These Silver Age stories can be pretty dark.>Alien spaceship ray hits baby Superman's ship on the way to Earth creating a duplicate of it.>Other Kal-El is found by a pair of crooks and raised to be evil.>Spends his youth hating Superboy and occasionally trying to secretly sabotage him.>Grows up to become Supermenace, his parents finally give him the green light to kill Superman.>Is able to beat Superman because it turns out he's a "force manifestation" and Kryptonite doesn't affect him.>Finds out his criminal parents consider him a freak and never loved him, on top of which he's not even "real" just a manifestation. He envies Superman.>Lets Superman live and goes back to his parents. Turns himself back into pure energy killing them in the process.
>>150250907It's weird how for the first few years Superman didn't let Supergirl be known to the public so she could be his "secret weapon."
>>150250907to be honest, at the time the average person had seen 1 world war and an economical collapse, sensitivity to death and overall tragedy were a bit lower.
>>150250907It was handled a bit better in STAS because the Kents were still alive. IIRC they were dead in the SIlver age.
>>150250907That’s a supercute Supergirl.
>>150246981Bizarro world was great. Bizarro eventually turns into Superman’s weirdo friend from outer space and it turns out Bizarro’s are born as normal kryptonians before degenerating into Bizarros around the age of one. Since there are so many Bizarro supermen they routinely crash planes and such just for fun. They even clone the Joker, but Bizarro Joker is sane but miserable because he’s the only normal person on this planet of freaks. On your birthday in Bizarro world they serve you a cake with a bomb in it and women give men chocolate on News year day. Coal is used as money just because it’s stupid.
Was out of it for a couple of days, Smiling freinds premiered the other day. Was the episode any good? Anyone have a mega?
People only pretend to like that boring garbage. Stuttering when talking is not funny.
>>150251999It comes out next month. First episode of the season leaked via a shitty camrip though: https://files.catbox.moe/t43djf.mp4
>>150251999God I love this show and this country for allowing it to exist and god as well for not killing me before getting to see it.
