>>151338858huh
>>151338801Why is these niggas hair so ridonculous
>>151339737It's cool.
>>151338858>>151339678Post-election social media broke Remender's brain (the comic satirizes leftists as well IIRC) and he had a detox shortly after
Sal deserves more credit
>>151341317The fact that Luthor is fundamentally incapable of "getting" Superman is one of my favorite things in comics. That the concept of goodness for its own sake, that virtue is its own reward, is totally alien to Lex, for all his brilliance, is just timelessly good.
>>151341385One of my favorite issues of Byrne's run was early on he had this computer program crunch the data to find out Superman's identity and it, successfully, points out Clark. But Lex just absolutely refuses to believe any of that. He just can't process that someone like Superman would be as humble as Clark is or even be a regular human at all. And honestly I've always love this reason as to why secret identities work. Readers over analyze because they're readers. They have all the meta knowledge. They know what to look for because it's a book. But in universe? Nobody would believe it even if they're looking which they're probably not.
>>151341385Its a cool idea for sure.
>>151341317>>151341306Such good art.
PAD-factor sure was something else
I like to look back at old X-men comicsand remember how things used to be.
Back when they were more introspective, sort of melancholic, but hopeful.
back when it felt like they actually liked each other.
>>151341240I'd read Mind Kampf
Okay so it's three pages but come one. This was a good story all in all.
>>151343123Nobody said this was only a ONE page thread.
>>151343137
>>151343137>>151343148>Thanos uses TIME-MIND SYNC-WARP>it's not very effective...
>>151343337It absolutely shattered Drax's mind beyond repair for decades rendering him little more than a cartoon watching retard.
>>151339737That entire comic had weird, unrealistic art. Probably to fit the surreal story.
>>151343457What's the title again?
>>151343148God i love trippy marvel comic panels
>>151342488What kind of nonsense is that? How could trade have developed without deceit?
>>151343488Iirc it was simply Wolverine/Hulk.
>>151338801
>>151343490Starlin's books were full of that stuff. Thanos Quest was nuts.
And Steranko was doing some crazy shit too and being based as always
Really wish Adams got to do more X-men
>>151343589>with your power, you could cure cancer!>I don't want to cure cancer, I want to use my leathery wings as screens for movie projectors!
Moments like this are when X-Men was at it's best.
>>151344152Sincerity. Whatever happened to it.
I just think Wally Wood's classic EC style applied to Doctor Doom is really cool.
Wish Mike Mignola had drawn more Batman.
Something the MCU never got right about Tony: The depths of his self-loathing. "Never had a foe I hated so much."
>>151344863That probably is how symbiotes see Galactus
>>151344152the animated series did this well
>>151338801context?
>>151341461my bother with Clark's identity has never been the glasses themselves or how he blends into a crowd easily without anyone believing he's Superman. for me it's more about how some stories have Superman continually interact with Lois, Jimmy, and many other characters while they're constantly oblivious that it's Clark. it's one thing when you're just a bystander who catches glances of Clark once or twice, it's another when you're an intelligent journalist like Lois who spends a lot of time with both Clark and Superman because realistically Lois should be able to deduce the truth very quickly and easily
>>151343453It wasn't this specific attack that did it
>>151344169It was deemed uncool and relentlessly mocked.
>>151343137It's free game then
>>151344152>>151344169That's nice. I miss when we were nice. Never been much the religious sort myself but just being able to have a more frank discussion about it without resorting to retardation is something I miss dearly. Ah the days when comics were written by actual adults.>>151345332different eyes.
You know who I love? Deadshot. Spoilers for the old Suicide Squad comics I guess
>>151348531
>>151342663That has got to frighten some children
And somehow Garth Ennis of all people wrote the most beautiful Superman thoughts
>>151343575I want just this bit here and hang it on a wall
>>151348620The Hitman issue was really good too.
>>151348620>>151348788Maybe Garth's just one of those "he's actually good but you need him on a tight leash so he doesn't get overtly edgy".
>>151348812Pretty much all those edgy eruo invasion guys have had good Superman issues. I think just the character brings out better in writers sometimes.
>>151343148I miss this Marvel.
>>151345930I like the idea that people who interact with both Clark and Superman frequently on a cordial basis know full well they are both one and the same, but just play along. Its a hand-wave, I know, but its that or bafflement at their inability to grasp the obvious.
Prince valiant
>>151350737My grandpa used to like to read this comic strip to me. He had a bunch of clippings he saved. I think this is why I like comics.
I still think it's a shame we never had an Under Siege movie.
>>151345930Go read silver age shenanigans. Lana and Lois spent every other day trying to proove that Clark is Superman. His gaslighting is what people mean by Superdickery.Sure stuff is more serious now, but it's not like Clark stopped puting effort into throwing them off.
>>151353685Yeah he used to pull some crazy stunts to appear side by side with himself too.
>>151353380I wonder if people wouldn't have clowned on Gunn's Superman if he saved a kid instead of a squirrel. Both are in character for Superman, but that film had a cynical streak that makes the squirrel come off as lame and irresponcible.
>>151353898It did feel like it was intentionally playing up the goofy side of things for yucks. Bit of an opposite extreme of the last time. See this why Reeve was still the best. Light with enoug awareness but still no self deprecating.
>>151352773We did. It's literally Steven Seagal's best film.
>>151348620>>151348812He 100% isPreacher has nice moments and isn't too edgy.Hitman is godly throughout.Even The Boys has nice moments despite the edginess.

>>151354796
>>151350737My favorite Prince Valiant story comes from one of the Fantagraphics reprints IIRC, I'm guessing the first book. I can't remember which artist was visiting Foster but it goes something like this.>Artist loved Foster + Prince Valiant>kept a "swipe" file of clippings from various sources, as reference aid when doing art>since Foster was a master draftsman, Artist often referred to Prince Valiant to nail different poses>years later, Artist gets the opportunity to meet Foster, jumps at it, maybe late 1960s just before his retirement>shows up as Foster's working on a Valiant page>Foster has a clipping from Artist's work and is using it to get a pose down>Foster compliments the Artist, apologizes for having to "swipe" from him>Artist tells him it's all good - the exact page/pose Foster is trying to nail, is one that Artist originally swiped from him, they have a laugh with each otherFunniest shit ever, I'll have to get my volume out and see who it was.
>>151354990Cool story.
>>151355219It miiight have been Wally Wood, I know he was pretty shame-free regarding swipes.
>>151344152Fuck, I had a conversation like this with one of my best friends years ago. I'm atheist, and he's Christian with some new age spiritualism. He didn't word it exactly the same, but yeah, he thought I felt lonely just like Nightcrawler did.
>>151348546>>151348531What's this run called?
This page always fucked with me, it contextualizes just how much it must suck to be Xavier.
>>151355392I appreciate that Claremont doesn't cast judgement on either one of them as "right" or "wrong", he just allows Logan and Kurt to have this moment to discuss something as deep as their beliefs without framing it in a way that makes one or the other the "correct" one.
>>151355894A lot of the time that's how they would deal with things. They would bring up an issue, reflect on it but ultimate leave things for the reader to ponder. >>151355874Really makes it all the more frustrating how t hey try to tear him down so much
>>151342774I actually teared up a little reading this, I miss this Jean and Charles.
Earth X is a really cool series, highly recommended.
Three pages, but fuck it, gives me chills every time. You already know who it is before you see his face.
>>151356063
>>151356078Maybe the best supervillain "origin" ever done, in three pages. Tells us all we need to know about Kingpin.
>>151338858I like this series
>>151356019I always really liked those quiet coda issues of X-men. Even if the event ended up being rubbish there was usually some poignant moments when everyone was just cooling off. It's good to just take a moment before and after huge events to take a time out and just reestablish relationships, friends etc. Especially when the team is so big, it's easy for some characters to get lost.
any page? alright>>151348546those last panels would have been so much better if he had drawn the clouds moving by instead of just copy pasting

>>151350737what happens in this series? is it just round table shenanigans like all the random quests the knights go on?
>>151358507among other knight things
>>151345930Once I could have been bothered by it. But the mirror scene int the 78 and how he was just able to transform form Clark to Superman. That made me see just how well he can act.
I like it when the hero and villain reveal they would on some level miss each other
>>151359456I really think people don't realize just how much difference little things like a change in posture and cadence can make https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIaF0QKtY0c
>>151359469This is a great page. Mid-90's Spider-Man could be rough, but it had great gems of moments.
>>151359496The 90s had a lot of junk but it was junk that still felt like the writers and creators knew what everything was supposed to be. >but it had great gems of moments.That issue 400, man. The first time I read that I just ran straight over to my Grandmas house just to say anything. God, how great would it have been if they didn't undo that.
>>151352773Damn.
>>151354796>>151354813Is the dad a criminal or what?
>>151355648It's called The Suicide Squad (1987)
>>151360042
>>151360209You can just tape it back together Steve, don't give up!
>>151341317Why is Superman kamehamehaing a chem trail?
>>151341461Why was he trying to find out Superman's identity? Why would he even assume that Superman's hiding it? He doesn't wear a mask. This was always such a weird concept to me, both Superman and Lois spent a lot of time back in the olden days trying to "find out Superman's secret identity". Why? Did none of the writers back then realize how silly this premise is? Trying to learn the true face of a man who doesn't fucking hide it?
>>151360548It was less SECRET Identity and more just trying to figure out what and where he is if memory serves. Lana Lang was involved.
>>151344152>I ain't alone, bub -- I got you.Damn...
>>151359537>That issue 400, man. The first time I read that I just ran straight over to my Grandmas house just to say anything. God, how great would it have been if they didn't undo that.I wish Aunt May's death had stuck, there was zero reason to bring her back, it was a lovely and fitting send-off for her, and would have allowed Peter to move on with MJ. It's not like the fans were clamoring for her to come back, I still have no idea why Marvel did it.
>>151361046>ywn be Nightcrawler having Wolverine throw his arm over your shoulder saying he'll never be alone because he's got you as you walk down the corridor of a Shi'ar battle cruiser looking for beer.Why even live?
>MechanismoSurely the robot judges will work this time.
>>151362931
>>151361386The late 90s was when the collapse happen and the markets were held hostage by the creators, they couldn't let these books die but they had no idea what would and wouldn't make money so this let the writers that were fan boys of the 70s and 80s runs take over and just make their fan fictions they wanted, it's why to this day Marvel is so very bad at making any decent content is because the books are not profitable enough to care what is being made but not so costly (like movies) to demand they change or get fully canceled, just endless reboots.
>>151363229That was a great What if story, very simple and very basic but god damn did it felt like the creators understood early Punisher very well and told a great war journal story from it.
>>151341232Here's lies Spider-ManHe never scored
>>151359386cool one
annihilation was so cool
>>151350532I always liked this side of Superman and Lois.
>>151363294Honestly, I feel like the solution is to hire editors that are neutral to those books. They would stay pro, and they would tell the writers and artists to do good stories, instead of ragebaiting the ever-aging fanbase.
>>151365151It's cute
>>151365304it's very hard to find that kind of quality anymore due to the nature of the industry. If you had those skills why waste them feeding the big two? Also I think the "rage baiting" is just a lie and looking at the creators they just have a never ending contempt for the fans. Skybound is doing the opposite of rage bait and is just giving what the fans want 1 for 1 and it has been treading upwards these last few years to the point it's likely going to pass Marvel (already cleared past DC) by next year and again, it's just taking ideas fans want and turning it into "canon" stories. Personally I dislike it as much as the rage bait but it shows that one works far better than the other for getting sales.
>>151366634I mean I really don't see how anyone, even as retarded as Brevoort can look at things and think shit's working. They're never gonna gonna come out and say they were wrong but I really wish they wouldn't be so willing to double down just to spite.
>>151363229>>151363311What's the issue?
>>151366752No issue. What's the issue with you?
>>151366752>>151366824This bit will not go un(You)'d.image search says What If...? Vol 1, #58
>>151366634>If you had those skills why waste them feeding the big two?Did they became this much of an awful place?And man, I should give Skybound a try, I have been drifting unto Europeans for a while now.
>>151368140>Did they became this much of an awful place?Near as I can tell it was always kind of shit just there wasn't as many alternatives. Modern internet culture has made it way easier to do things for yourself.
>>151364585It's boring and mediocre.
Context: This Jane Fonda stand-in was sucking up to the Khmer Rouge at the start of the issue, so seeing this was deeply satisfying.
>>151363542The lead up is neat too.>>151366752The other anon sounds right. I read through the various What Ifs back in 2020, that's likely the source.
>>151370147Also weirdly enough, I'm currently reading '68. Jungle Jim is cool.
>>151338858...Not-Cobra Commander actually makes sense.
>>151342712Did an AI write this? It is nonsensical.
>>151370260And the conclusion
>>151370205It's a fun comic. It gets a little too weird for my taste near the end, but still a great ride.
Another goofy What If for all you Bing and Bob fans.
>>151370551It's really inconsistent how durable the cape is but I always love seeing Superman using it to shield someone or wrap someone in it.
>>151370032Shit like this is why this board is dying, you're only allowed to like the shittiest slop
>>151366540Maguire is the only artist I've seen who can make two talking heads funny for eight goddamn panels. Christ dude could probably make Bendis's repeat pages actually work
>>151368503Thanos loosing the moral victory to paragons will never not be cool
>>151370719Helps that Giffen's dialogue is a lot better too.
>>151370551>>151370665>I always love seeing Superman using it to shield someone or wrap someone in it.This is why that costume designer chick from the Incredibles deserves scorn. Capes fucking rule
I love how skanky they tried to make Wonder Woman in the 90s. Like, let's make her look even nakeder. Like, waxing is mandatory nakeder.
>>151370754>Thanos at first posed dismissively and at a slight angle, turns and mirrors Cap directly in response to his bravadoAs much guff as Starlin tends to give the theatrics of superheroes, good on him for these panels summarizing their ethos.Or Lim or Perez if the push was more from them.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ehViT93k7v4Also, yes, I know Cap is swiftly brushed away after this. Still, there were more humiliating defeats abound during this.
>>151371235Shame, shorts don't embed. It's just Cap resisting Thanos in Infinity War explained anyway.
