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...
>>150242488Who you calliń old dog!

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.

Forgive the clickbaity title (and ***SPOILER ALERT***), but if you look at the movie and compare it against social trends over the last few years, Diane Foxington starts the movie as an idealized modern career woman, who has made it to the top, and feels like she has to set aside her longing for a relationship because it could hurt her career. Mr. Wolf his struggling to get any kind of career going, but he clearly loves Diane despite having basically nothing to his name. Ultimately, the movie pushes the idea that even though Mr. Wolf is at a major disadvantage compared to Diane, and the cost of being with him is that Diane has to give up her job and start over to be with Wolf, Mr. Wolf is ultimately going to make her happier than she was when she had her career.That's actually a very positive counterprogramming message to send out to all the girls who are being exposed to careerist propaganda on tiktok. Perpetually single women working pointless "tech" jobs with free buffets, booze and playrooms are constantly being fed to young girls as if it's something they can achieve if they join the rat race and deprioritize finding a husband and having children. Also, the stereotypically toxic meta of Tinder and other dating apps: "if he's less than 6 feet tall and makes less than 6 figures he ain't worth your time." Mr. Wolf may be tall and handsome but rich he is not.
>>150252270Did you shut The movie off 5 minutes after she showed up?
>>150252326No, I just dislike how she sounds. It can be fixed by muting it when she is speaking.

When's this hitting streaming?
>>150252365It's already out on VOD but the official home video release is October 7. I'm not sure if and what steaming services it might be included with though.
Batman here. It's time to pick up that pencil and WOYA. Gotham needs you.

>>150236510This seriously doesnt hold back ? Cause that artstyle just screams "safe humor" like a lot of other adult animated shows.
>>150236510Now if only it were funny.

Well... this thread took a turn...
Were 90s comics actually bad or is it revisionist history from sois mad it wasn't wholesome chungus and the women were heckin sexualised?
>>150251695>How many fucking people has that bitch horribly, brutally slaughtered at this point? Chat GPT puts her kill count at OVER ONE THOUSAND PEOPLE.Can someone make a list of crimes for her like we have for Magneto?
>>150179489You can't say this costume isn't stupid outside of being goon bait.
Linkara the thread.
>>150252131No, they grew throughout the 60s.
>>150252299Most superhero costumes are stupid if you start thinking too hard about muh realism. Most heroines basically exist to be fantasy girlfriend figures for the readers, complaining about them wearing unrealistic fapbait costumes is like complaining about the villains committing crimes. It's what they're there for.
PURE CGI SOUL
>>150247937wasn't it the exact same swinging except slower?
>>150228084I always remember how I first watched this by nicking the DVD from a Kid who left it unattended in the library so dad could rent it, I was probably 15 at the time. I always cope by saying how violent it got might've traumatised the squirt what with Lizard getting his arm chopped off plus being played very much for horror or the green lady cutting people up.
>>150247481That show genuinely did 10/10 work adapting every villain, has easily my fave Whiplash and Mandarin, plus having Crimson Dynamo being an abandoned cosmonaut wanting revenge for being left in space I think was an interesting direction for the character and perfectly reinvents him. Also Maria Hill is so fucking sexy in Armored Adventures, probably my fave design for her besides her Disk Wars design.
>>150251802Different guy.Ultimate didn't let you choose shooting webs out your left or right like 2's advanced controls, something that wouldn't return to open world Spidey games until TASM2's game adaptation if memory serves. I don't know how Insomniac executed swinging. In Ultimate, where your web anchored affected your swing more harshly than 2 so it made pete feel more clumsy.I played Ultimate on PC and 2 via PS2.
>>150244653I played the shitty PC version of Spiderman 2 >:( What did I miss out on?
