Here's a challenge for you guys: name ten comic book runs from the last ten years that are better than The Boys. No manga, no limited series, no one-shots.
Hard mode: Name ten superhero comics.
>>
>>153357815
The Boys is as shit as them, so it's impossible

Aaron's Avengers might qualify if they didn't wokerape She-Hulk.

>>153357815
I don't want to read the boys either, cuz it also sucks. Being terrible in a different way is still terrible.
>>
Was Black Noir was mentally challenged from the beginning or he lost his mind gradually through the years?
>>
>>153357815
Transformers from Skybound under Dwj
Too early to judge it under kirkman
(Optimus is like superman but a truck)
Moon Knight
Absolute Batman
Absolute Wonder Woman
Absolute Martian Manhunter
G.I Joe from Skybound
New Lobo (Its gonna be regarded as a classic in 5 years)
Current Aquaman (hes been consistently good since new 52)
Super Sons
Batman/SuperMan Worlds Finest
Racer X
I argue that both G.I Joe and Transformers count as superhero team books,one happens to be military and other happens to be space robots
Red Hood and Outlaws would be here but it ended in 2015
>>
>>153358261
It shouldve been Kapitan Wpierdol
>>
>>153359099
Its the latter
He was made to kill homelander if homelander fucked up but homelander didnt fucked up
He knew he his destiny wouldnt be fulfilled if he didnt act
So after he went stir crazy he decided to frame homelander and got madder and madder with every crime

Most manga are worse than the boys, especially the isekaislop
>>
>>153357815
Sure thing, anon. I can't disagree with you that superhero comics have been pretty shit. But comics overall? Come now even at its most generous The Boys is a c-list pick at best. Yes it does have some very high moments, but those are followed by absolute braindead slop filler that adds literally nothing but gore. If you want a critique of superheroes, read Marshal Law, you'll get what you desire.

Days of Sand, as shown
Megg and Mog
Something is Killing The Children.
Absolute Martian Manhunter
Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands
Satania
The Ogre Gods
Unsounded
Killing Pickman
Plain Jane and the Mermaid
>>
>>153359652
Have you read most of them? isekai is a small percentage . The boys is pretty mediocre.
>>

Tell me hoe the boys is better than cerebus the aardvark

SAC

>>
>>153360180
Damn, thats actually a good one. Sorry you're not enjoying it.
Maybe you should ask your gf what else she has in her weeb library.
The mystery of SAC takes a bit
>>
>>153360180
You should watch the movies before it, they have great animation but sac is great in its own way. If you are not into philosophy and techno babble then you will probably not enjoy either.

Im asking my own question, butcher simp.
Garth ennis is a hack and a cuck. Dave sim is a chad
>>
>>153360221
Would you say psycho pass is similar? I think anon would enjoy it. It's faster
>>
>>153360242
Yeah, probably. It's easier to digest and faster paced. Also has the best written Butcher villain other than Saya.

What a joke of a man
>>
>>153357815
I can only name two manga, because that's all I've managed to finish from the past ten years. I have a sizeable backlog, however.
Comics? I can't think of much of anything. Prieststroke I guess? The Ultimate/Absolute books are all worse, including Martian Mindfucker, though it has much better art. Immortal Hulk stunk, and Morrison shit the bed with Green Lantern. Image and the other publishers have been consistently terrible.
Comics are in such shambles to be unable to produce anything but insipid action series and failed projects. I'm sad now.

>>153357815

Wynd and its sequels
>>
>>153359516

Oh, I see. The crimes he committed polluted his mind. Makes sense. He got a taste for the things he did.
>>
>>153357815
No.

How do you know it sucks?

Anything written by Ewing, Hickman, Camp and Snyder in the past 10 years

why do people jerk off ennis so much?

I just enjoy the bloke. Seems a nice guy.

>hates SAC
>thinks the Boys is great
Wow, what a miserable existence you live.
>>
>>153362254
Seems like he catches way more hate than people jerking him off. People have been spamming Ennis threads for the past few days.
>>
>>153362524

NOBODY IS JERKING OFF GARTH ENNIS

Absolutely not. The Ultimates is easily worse than The Boys.

Comics are so SHIIIIIIIIIT
>>
>>153367374
It's amazing how much people can't name ten comics from an entire decade.

if he spoke it would be obvious he was homelander. if he has a normal brain that could affect his ability to speak his thoughts clearly.
>>
>>153367691
Give us 20, give us 30, and you would have endless recommendations. This is almost impossible

Who write that justice league run with the roster of the DCAU? I liked that a lot. Justice league dark is always a good time also.
>>
>>153357815
What the fuck are we deciding a run is? A limited series is a run, if we're talking about ongoings it's like, why? Why is that the metric?
>>
>>153368119
The Boys ran for over 60 issues.
>>
>>153357815

>the last ten years
>the boys ended in 2012, which is more than ten years ago

come on OP
>>
>>153368210
It's a simple exercise. People complain about The Boys (especially recently for some reason) and about modern comics. Let's see which one is worse. So far with these answers, The Boys wasn't so bad after all.
>>
>>153368239
It's a simple exercise if you set a bunch of bullshit parameters that have nothing to do with quality, but it proves nothing
>>
>>153368239
scope limitation is a form of cherry picking
>>
>>153368267
>>153368282
If you can't name just 10 ongoings from the last ten years that are better, it proves a lot of things.
Ten years worth of Western ongoings is a fuckton of comics.

Everything. Literally every comic that came out in last 10 years.
>"b-b-but..."
Don't care.
>>
>>153368390
what's the point of posts like these
>>
>>153357815
Go back to bed Garth.
>>
>>153357815
tough, I mostly stopped after new 52 and no limited series and one-shots makes it even harder
I'll try:
sinestro (2015)
hal jordan and the gl corps (2016)
justice league 3000
absolute wonder woman
that's really all I've got, the other absolutes are limited series (martian manhunter) or not particularly good and the other comics I reasonably enjoyed (batman: offworld, justice league: last ride, batman: last knight on earth) are limited series
still absolutely vehemently despise the boys and legitimately think crossed is less edgy
>>
>>153367821
All isekai is self-insert cringe.
>>
>>153368177
Wow thats weak.
Id rather jerk off dave 300 issues or fuck you sim
>>
>>153369066
Not all
>>
>>153357815
EASY:

DIAL H with supermiguel
second son by mark russel
flinstones by mark russel
swamp thing by charles soule
the other earth
glory relaunch by image comics
blackstars - green lantern by grant morrison and liam sharp
Plunge
2017 Darth Vader as the other anon said
uncanny avengers by remender the kangapocalypse now story arc

>>153368210
he is a fake fan, he learnt about the boys comicbook just three weeks ago, it was the same with the walking dead anons in 2010 and invencible anons spammming in catalog.
>>
>>153368644
>sinestro (2015)
really underrated, bard walker is masterclass
most of your choices are good.
>>
>>153371411
>EASY:
>names several limited series
Wow.
>he is a fake fan
Two things: I am not a fan of The Boys (I think it's mostly awful) and I read it all around the time the main run had just ended.
This thread is meant to prove a point, and it is proving it and other things pretty hard.

it didn't prove shit other than you have a confirmation bias despite literally being proven wrong or at the very least having your premise directly contradicted with multiple examples beyond a list of 10
>>
>>153372544
>despite literally being proven wrong or at the very least having your premise directly contradicted
There hasn't been a single poster to have adhered to what I asked. You could probably compile a decent list from all the comics mentioned, but no one poster has been able to do that. This is fucking depressing.
>>
>>153357815
the boys comic was fucking DOGSHIT

>>153360227
True

> Eww, hecking men are so problematic and bad

Surprised he's not in the Tribe, quite honestly
>>
>>153362986
I think he means: "I don't want to read stories like that."

I don't know if I can write articulate the logic behind it, but he was basically responding to the implication inferred from the question: "Name 10 comics better than The Boys from the last 10 years" that it was a piece of quality literature that one should give a fair chance, so he was responding by saying: "No, even if there aren't examples of better ongoing comics from the last 10 years I still would not want to read The Boys and rather read even over ongoings or just none at all."

And I concur. Indubitably so.
>>
>>153363139
He's probably right, though desu
>>153367691
> It's amazing how there were no worthwhile ongoings in an entire decade.
FTFY
>>
>>153372688
you have been contradicted, there is plenty of evidence to parse through, but you haven't read any of it because you probably don't read much
>>
>>153367821
Nta but the Water Magician was one of the worst things I've ever seen.

I was also rather disappointed in: Villainess Level 99, The Do-Over Damsel, Villainess Who Goes Down in History, The one where she becomes a doctor, and Dad Was Reincarnated As a Villainess, and they BUTCHERED Who Made Me a Princess?

There's also countless slop I didn't even entertain the notion of like Reincarnated as the 7th Prince and a bunch of other ones that are basically that which blend together.

I do like Re:Zero, KonoSuba, All Roads Lead to Doom, and I'm in Love With the Villainess, though
>>
>>153372965
I've read most of these.
>>
>>153372697
Then name ten ongoings from the last 10 years that are better. No limited series or one-shots.
>>
>>153373031
Yikes.
>>
Aquaman last 10 years outside that part in 2018 has been better than The boys
Outside Thorne , Orlando and maybe PJK runs Green Lantern has been better than The boys
Flash Jeremy was better and North feel It will too(Williamson has a better finale than the boys)
Superman outside Bendis has been better than the boys since Rebirth
Condon's GA and Venditti Hawkman has been better than The Boys
Chip's Spectacular Spiderman was better than the Boys
Totally awesome Hulk was a better dumb fun than the boys
Inmortal Thor was better than the boys(Aaron doesn't count because his only good Thor arc was pre 2016)
Ewing Antman/Wasp was better than the boys
Agent Venom prebendis was better than The Boys
>B-but those aren't good
We are comparing about The Boys not talking about being good or bad and those are better than The Boys
>>
>>153375459
>We are comparing about The Boys not talking about being good or bad
You don't have to tell me.
>>
>>153371419
yeah sinestro is such a compelling character, I like how he won soranik over
>>
>>153377355
Is he much better there than when Johns wrote him? Because Johns' Sinestro is a shit villain.
>>
>>153357815
Not much of a challenge.
>>
>>153378553
Well?
>>
>>153357815
Any ten issues of any slop are likely to be better than the boys. You like shit.
