What do you think of Corto Maltese?
It's fine, But Rosso Stenton is better.
>>151579117Tried it out a couple of years back, Ballad of the Black Sea I think the first volume is called, but I gave up after about 20 pages, it was very boring.
>>151579117cool as fuck
>>151579117Pretty, but very, very boring.
>>151580311>>151582427It's odd. Everyone's okay with calling this boring, but when I say the same about superhero comics, people flip out at me. This series was a lot less boring to me than most superhero comics.
>>151579117Somewhat kino.
>>151582703Well it depends on the superhero comic because I've read some that weren't as boring, but I have read a lot of acclaimed ones that were indeed even more boring, like Foolkiller.
>>151583881Steve Gerber's Foolkiller? That one's great. One of the few superhero comics I've wholeheartedly enjoyed. I don't know about the others.
>>151579117Gay
>>151580311same here. The character and the idea are cool, but can't get into it. I prefer stuff from Moebius for example, it feels better paced and more interesting overall
>>151579117Straight
>>151579117i dont care
>>151585492Nobody does.
Like a lot of Euro comics, really cool conceptually but not really engaging.
>>151579117cool
>>151587132*Like a lot of Cape comics, really cool conceptually, but not really engaging.
>>151579117It's Adventures of Young Indiana Jones, but better.
>>151579117Some of the best the comic medium has to offer, in my opinion.
>>151587132>>151587343Both of these are true.
>>151583881This is either horrible taste or surgical ragebait.
>>151579117Beautifully illustrated, and better yet fascinating story telling not only in the historical and cultural subject matter but the exploration of human nature and philosophies.I love the animated adaptations (though to anyone interested I strongly suggest the subbed versions if you can to absorb the character of the setting and personalities since the voice direction of the dub doesn't always convey wry tone and makes people sound as if they're just reading things out) as is but I'm honestly surprised a live action TV or movie series hasn't been done sooner given the current climate of literal and virtual tourism along with foreignism and political opining. I think it would resonate with audiences, and hopefully educate them.On the note of animation, I should thank Frank Miller for trying to get Corto adapted remotely faithfully with StudioCanal instead of being like so many other famous types whose efforts amount to using their influence to pitch something they've supposedly been a big fan of forever to Hollywood where script writers, executive and directors who have no idea or care about it will guy and mount it into a barely recognizable parody in their collection of media properties owned that they will quickly forget about when they don't pull a profit.Pardon the ranting, but it's a grim state of affairs how empty media and lifestyles have become in the modern day.Hugo Pratt tried to warn us, that's my thoughts of Corto Maletese.
>>151588626Are they still gonna use Tom Hughes? He looks like a Hugo Pratt drawing.
>>151588685It got cancelledhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corto_Maltese#Adaptations
>>151584217I wouldn't even call it good much less great.
>>151588711Oh well.
>>151579117I'd say it's good if you read only a few of it, but on the long run, some of its quality becomes flaws.
>>151588813It's great. I am rarely moved by comics, but that one did it.Why do you think it's not even good?
>>151579117i liked rasputin
>>151588883Poorly written and boring.
>>151589005Could you be more specific?Besides, the writing was strong and the story and characters were compelling.
He looks like a Jojo character
>>151579117Pimpdaddy cool maximus
>>151579117the author worked with nazis...
>>151588625Of course capeshitters would think someone not liking capeshit is bait but not liking a legendary series like Colto Maltese is not. That's why everyone has such a low opinion of you capeshitters.
>>151590064"Surgical ragebait" is a pretty inspired choice of words for a capefag.
>>151590268Faggot, that’s what you are
>>151590283Why, yes, I am. Do you want a tuggie or a blowie, good sir?
>>151584217I've never read anything from Gerber that was better than just kinda decent.
