We've got superheroes mixed up in all sorts of genres, but which one is lacking? Which combination is lacking any good stories?Random pic from Google images for superhero horror.
>>150526901Everything
>>150526901I often think fantasy based capeshit could use a lot of work, but I feel like to fix that you'd have to strip away too many of the cape elements. Defeating the whole purpose. Horror has been done a lot but apparently it could be done a lot better if people actually thought Immortal Hulk qualified
>>150526901not sure if military counts as a genre, but I’m quite surprised there aren’t more cape comics set during wartime, on the battlefieldI guess that’s too masculine for the current industry to ever consider :/
>>150528251There was picrel recently
>>150526901porn
>>150528461We aren't in wartime which is why old comics were set in it to promote war efforts. More people are also against war now than before.
>>150526901Medical. There is some, but I can't think of a more under represented one.
>>150526901action
>>150529011yes which is confusing me moreWhy has an overpoliticized shithead not set a supe comic during wartime specifically to demonize wartimeIt is the easiest story in the world, it would draw direct parallels to the birth of the genre while letting the author preach about how bad war is by doing something edgy like giving the hero ptsd or whatever lolIt seems like such a low-hanging fruit for the current type of writers in the industry, I’m really surprised it has barely been touched. Especially surprised that it was barely touched on in the 90s/2000s.>>150529078Sort of hard to do medical drama in settings where so many people have healing factors or some form of near-instant healing, be it through super-tech or other
>>150529078That's a good one.>>150529509It could involve super disease or shit like that.
>>150529509>Why has an overpoliticized shithead not set a supe comic during wartime specifically to demonize wartimeDoesn't Watchmen and The Boys do that?

>>150528624There's shit-tons of that slop.

>>150531985True. Good one.
>>150529908Cold War is cheatingI don’t hate myself enough to read Ennis stories so I don’t know
>>150533012That's alright. Ennis comics are for people who still like fun.

>>150526901Superhero comedy is pretty shit.
>>150528251I think horror is in the worst spot, there's good horror style art and stuff in comics but a horror story basically can't have superheroes, even the "human" ones.
>>150534897There's plenty of good superhero horror.
>>150529078>>150529509They could try something with Dr. Mid-Nite, both of them.
>>150534814If Gunn was smart he would've made a Justice League International mockumentary.
>>150529509>Why has an overpoliticized shithead not set a supe comic during wartime specifically to demonize wartimeEnnis did some of this in the boys, to seethe about cap. america "disrespecting vets", and venting his non-existent trauma over the troubles
>>150534897Unless the superheroes are causing the horror, in which case it’s a lot of fun!
>>150535423You're announcing to everyone who read it that you didn't read it.
>>150535476huh?

>>150533952Is this an existing character or did you make it up?
>>150526901Need more superhero period dramas.
>>150540878How would that work?
>>150541908Like 1602 with less world-ending, presumably.
>>150540878Wasn't there a Batman vs Jack the Ripper elseworlds?

>>150526901Superhero horror was mastered by Alan Moore's Swamp Thing and Hellboy, there's little reason to continue after that.
>>150540102He's inspired by the Masked Marvel, a PDSH, but is a unique character.
>>150529509I mean, that's Punisher's entire deal. The main problem is capeshit generally doesn't acknowledge wars outside of WWII because it was the last war that America felt completely morally justified in getting involved with. Superheroes are not a particularly good avenue for criticizing war in a realistic way, the idea itself is tonally silly.
>>150531985They might not get used these days much but DC has a shit ton of western characters.
>>150544001Oh okay
>>150543063Bull
>>150526901Imagine Wonder Woman being eaten alive down to the bones haha
>>150546830Where's the funny
>>150543063There are still many avenues to explore with that genre.
