We have a thread going about the latest great runs in comics here >>152925441, and we're not arriving at any kind of agreement. Do we even agree on any of the classics? Let's name what we think are great runs from before the last decade or so.Starting with Moore's run on Swamp Thing. Do we all agree it's a great run?
>>152950580You're probably not going to find a complete consensus on anything especially a board divided by media, then genres +/- generational experiences.Also from what I've found board interaction is what fosters interest to even consider attributing value to things at all, when storytimes took off on /a/ those usually reserved on battle shonen or slice of life admitted to taking a shine to some examples only when the effort to browse something worthwhile was made simpler by someone posting what they otherwise wouldn't go out their way to find.Storytimes have dwindled significantly since the '10s and most seem to be here due to youtube stuff and webcomics so I don't expect many to even be aware or interested in a large enough pool of what's considered universally appreciable comics. If you made a thread about cartoons you might get some discussion, but probably mostly shitposting.Anyway, I like Moore Swamp Thing, so you can put that in the hat if you like.
>>152950883well put
>>152950580It's solid. Awesome cover.
Haven't read it and didn't need another thread
How about Miller's Daredevil?
>>152952362Great run, both his initial run and Born Again.
>>152952362I like it, but I've definitely seen anons and others saying it isn't so great.A lot of people growing up after it came out say the Bendis run is better.
The thing is /co/ is also very contrarian which is a big reason people in that thread won't make a consensus.
>>152952773I just think old = good, new = bad. Just kidding, but I am hard to please. The new stuff is missing something the old comics had.
>>152952815>The new stuff is missing something the old comics had.I recently read Alan Moore's story in Batman Annual #11, and it honestly blew away anything new I've read in comics in years. I think the problem is we used to have genuinely good writers that just happened to choose to work in comics, but now we have "comic book writers" that write to the tropes or expectations of the medium, when we used to have writers like Moore who just wrote what they could've written as short stories or novels that happened to take the form of comics.
>>152952966Agreed.
>>152952966Moore only write that story because the fan press learned if the existence of Killing Joke and started saying it was going to be the 1987 Batman Annual and DC had to beg Moore to churn out a quickie throwaway story for it, because they feared the backlash of Moore didn't write the Annual.
>>152952362Honestly I found it pretty average.
>>152952815>The new stuff is missing something the old comics had.True BUT co is contrarian and hyperbolic and likes to speak in absolutes and claim something modern is bad despite not having read it
