One of the greatest comic book writers ever and yet /co/ hates him for some reason.
When everyone of every stripe hates you, maybe you're the problem.
>>154990774Fag
>>154990774Kingdom come blows and stupidly idealizes the fucked morals enforced by the cca
>>154990774I've tried>Kingdom Come>The Flash>JLA: Year One>Fantastic Four >Superman: Birthright>52>World's Finest>Batmand and Robin: Year OneI don't like his comics.
>>154990964Fpbp, Waid is a fucking hack
>>154990774He's past his prime and is too much of an oversentimental sperg
>>154991129This. Why would I read refried silver age slop when the original silver age is so easily accessible?
>>154990774He's alright, not great not awful, he's alright.
>>154991291i liked batman and robin year one apparently the sequel starts this week
>>154990774>One of the greatest comic book writers ever and yet /co/ hates him for some reason.Literally no one on earth thinks this
>>154990774>One of the greatest comic book writers everIf that's true then no wonder manga is kicking your asses.
>>154990774He's an overly sentimental sperg but if you can lean into the silliness, it's fine. Inoffensive at least. Plus, there was a distinct lack of Silver Age nostalgia tripping in the 90's so his stuff was a breath of fresh air in comparison. That being said, he CANNOT write modern teenage characters. He really has no business on titles like Champions. He's a stunted man-baby writing stories from his youth.
>>154991593>>154991129samefag ?
>>154990774I got into comics around 6 years ago, and so far he’s been the most consistent and fun to read. I wish there weren’t dozens of other books out there , otherwise I’d still be getting his world’s finest. Plus he’s based for hating and triggering chuds
>>154990774He's an asshole. You can be good at what you do and still be an asshole. I miss the days before social media made it so easy for assholes to broadcast everything they do.
>>154992713>he’s been the most consistent and fun to readHi, Mark!
>>154993104hello Anon!
>>154992713>I got into comics around 6 years agoOh it doesn't show.
>>154990774No I like Waid a lot.BATMAN AND ROBIN YEAR ONE PART 2 OUT TOMORROW LETS FUCKING GO
>>154993104It’s true tho if we’re talking about the current DC stable>Josh WilliamsonHe’s the closest to Waid in terms of consistency, but ngl his green arrow was mid, and dark crisis was straight ass>Tom KingDo I even need to elaborate on this nigga?>tom Taylor He’s not bad I guess, just very mid tier >kelly Thompson She’s actually pretty good now that I think of it, bc Birds of prey and abs WW are good reads>mariko tamakiI really liked her zatanna. I think she has promiseBut yeah, waid is still the best so far, though I think Deniz Camp and Jeremy Adams could surpass him as they expand their repertoire and keep up the quality
>>154993324Joshua Williiamson is buns.
>>154993373nah
>>154993373I’ve only read his Superman, and he hasn’t faltered yet. The House of brainiac arc was a perfect introduction for noobs like me. Then the time trapper arc afterwards turned doomsday into a more compelling character I felt like. And this current Superman prime arc is like having mouthfuls of candy every month. I can’t say bro has let me down yet with his Superman run
>>154993324Every writer named here is dogshit.
>>154990964If only chuds could learn this
>>154994602who do you like instead
>>154990774Drove a man to murder by cucking him btw.
>>154994602Nah. Like I said, Superman is good, worlds finest is good, aquaman is good, the non canon zatanna was good, abs ww and mm are good, detective comics is fine. But king is trash, I’ll give you that
>>154994638QRD?
>>154990774I think he's a great writer but his Marvel work was HORRIBLE. I got no problem with left leaning and progressive stuff because I'm the same but he lost the ability to write while doing so. It's like watching your friend make a fool of himself in front of everyone. That's what annoys me most about the progressive writers. They suck and suck harder when they put in their ideals. Conservatives aren't much better but at least they're less encouraged to insert their politics. I tend to enjoy writers that I can't tell what their political leaning is from their writing.
>>154995050What politics is he putting into his books? His haters keep saying this, but I’ve yet to notice any real left leaning “messaging” in any of his books. It’s just normal capeshit heroism. Y’all must be smoking crack
>>154995461It's really bad in his ANAD Avengers and Champions books. Just read some issues and you'll understand. This is all I got on hand because I'm not the type to save everything I hate.
>>154995542This is what chuds are freaking out about? Seems pretty tame, and honestly realistic given that it’s what people say about these characters in real life. I get it tho, chuds are pretty sensitive, and getting called out in any degree is met with the capricious attitude of a 2 year old
>>154995598Stop projecting
For me, it's his comic about the woman who was murdered with a hammer.
>>154995669Chuds don’t typically have any valid criticism. Theyll just call you a tranny for not letting them say nigger
>>154994638?
>>154995736No
He wrote the most overrated and religious piece of shit book that faggots annoying glaze all the time.But he at least made one of the best Batman stories, Tower of Babel.And World's Finest has been a blast.But still...fuck this twat for that dumbass bible elseworld garbage.
>>154997071>shit taste>hates religion (but only Christianity, of course)>r*ddit spacingHave a (You)
/co/ hates literally every writer and artist. im curious, who do you faggots consider to be the best writers/artists in comic history?
>>154997159Brian Michael Bendis and Greg Land.
>>154997176ok but what about the non-troll answer?
>>154997159>>154997187Alan Moore easily for writers, and art is too subjective and there's too many good artists to name one definitively.
>>154993684So you have shit taste, then. The man wrote Dark Crisis.
>>154997145>>r*ddit spacingTourist
>>154997312anon talked about his superman run why are you ignoring that and choosing to focus on dark crisis ?
>>154997159>writersAlan MooreEddie Campbell (indie comics)Steve Gerber>artistsMoebiusBill SienkiewiczDavid MazzucchelliAlberto BrecciaAlex Toth
>>154997312he literally said Dark Crisis was ass
>>154997176For me it's Marguerite Bennett.
>>154995542It is Marvel. They should be trying to lynch Sam because some people speculated he might have been a mutant in the 70s even though his powers are from Cosmic Cube fuckery.
It all has to do with his real-life personality: reaction to national politics, comic industry beefs, etcHis Worlds Finest is very fun and enjoyable, existing off in its own corner and its just fun. His Action Comics with Smallville Clark has been enjoyable as well for many of the same reasons. Its earnest and sentimental and theres nothing wrong with it.His JLU is very mid, a symptom of a bigger problems regarding the current state of Big 2, team ups, crossover slop, etc. His Daredevil holds up. Its just miserable contrarians who say otherwise. He's had his misses (Champions is a glaring one) but he's written too many classic cape comics. Yeah, its all capeshit but at least its respectable capeshit
It's his fault that Captain Atom became a joke because he was too lazy to research how his powers worked.
>>154998703>His Daredevil holds up. Its just miserable contrarians who say otherwise.Waid's DD takes a nosedive after the Ikari issue resolves.
>>154998703>Its just miserable contrarians who say otherwise.Miserable contrarians are the ones that call his Daredevil good.
>>154994622Bad anon, stop trying to make this political, bad anon.
>>154997159>/co/ hates literally every writer and artist. im curious, who do you faggots consider to be the best writers/artists in comic historyGoomba fallacy. Since we all aren't posting under usernames, you can describe which user hates what. You just treat /co/ as if it's a single poster and refuse to acknowledge that it's probably several different Anons sharing their different opinions. It's almost like people want this place to be a hive mind.
>>154991593He's horrible at handling villains, always has been. I don't mind the sentimental stuff and the positivity is actually kind of nice, but I get irritated by his OOC villains.
They hated him because he spoke the truth.
>>154990774>One of the greatest comic book writers ever stop the cap
obvious bait is obvious
haters gonna hate
>>155000004more like several different anons sharing the same opinions.
>>155001771
>>155000343Nope
Stop the cap, this is the one that reflects reality.
>>155001867>Stop the capfuck off literal zoomer
>>155001616It's not THAT obvious..
>>155001872Go yell at clouds somewhere else you grumpy ass old fart
>>154997159>consider to be the best writers/artists in comic history?Roger SternPeter DavidGeg pakRick RemenderDugganThat cornell guy from wolverine run with the dead read handMike CareyJohn byrne is the mark waid of comicbooksCharles SouleMark RussellMandatory Chuck Dixon
>>155001867Based. Absolute won.
>>155002972Decent bait.
>>155002972>Mandatory Chuck DixonChuck was garbage unless Denny O’Neil was there to edit him. His Nightwing run is the aggressively mid comic run of that era.
>>154990774Nope
He has a consistent quality but he's never written anything great. No, not Kingdom Come which wasn't even his story, it was Alex Ross's. He provided the dialogue.>>155003178Dixon did just fine with The Punisher. Batgirl Year One was fine too and O'Neil never would have allowed that book to exist while he was still in control of the bat-office.
>>155003178Dixon was good at Punisher.He sucked entirely at DC.
>>155003116Wf is better
>>155005850Nope.
>>155003116Eh.
>>154990774literally who
>>155002745It gets spammed so much it is obvious.
>>154990774I love him and nobody can make me hate him. He wrote birthright and kingdom come. He has a free pass to spend the rest of his life destroying comics and superman if he wants.
>>155009436>Birthright
>>155010036Problem?
>>155010085Your life
>>155010127No, that's my problem
>>155010085It's ridiculous how Luthor can somehow see and hear Krypton and not only that, they can see and hear him too, and their view just happens to be aimed at his parents right before the planet explodes.
>>155005286>but he's never written anything great.cope
>>155009436Birthright is shit, dude.
>>155010722no it isnt its better than the johns version
>>155010712Waid's the kind of autist who can only write competent superhero comics. When he joined Crossgen to do a Sherlock Holmes pastiche, it was "smart people are indistinguishable from wizards" schlock.
