Semi-related, but there’s a certain “niche” of comic artist (thick black outlines, muted/flat colors, typically realistic anatomy, mundane in a way that contrasts perfectly with the superhero genre) that I’ve seen get phased out lately. Probably my favorite style of comic art.
All heartfelt, passionate, and accurate renditions of characters using what works for each of them and building on that. In most cases here they even improve on the original versions.
But yeah man, Ben Reilly was kinda lame for the 20 seconds he’s in the movie.
Most people aren’t ready to accept for the fact that Phil Lord and Chris Miller most of the time do not give a shit about the characters their adapting
I’m not trying to hate because I do like Namor but he very much is a creep. Like that’s definitely a thing. He said Sue telling him no made him more into her. While he was trying to have sex with her. Namor is cool but he’s very much an abuser stop playing
It’s kinda dope to see CBR take an actual stance on a comic for once lol. Very very used to them being a bland white bread ass company with no real thoughts on anything.
The thing about this run is that Straczynski is clearly a good writer on a technical level and has Peter’s voice down better than 99% of other writers. I found myself enjoying stuff like Sins Past because he somehow kept me engaged in a mystery that is, admittedly, terrible.
if you are this uncomfortable by a piece of Holocaust history written by the son of a Holocaust survivor using his father’s own recounting of the Holocaust using imagery from the Holocaust, you are part of the problem.
Good examples of this are David Aja, Michael Lark, and JPL (RIP). Not-so-coincidentally, that’s my top 3 favorite comic artists. I feel like Devlin Baker (who is drawing The Stranger right now, go support that) is bringing it back in the indie realm, but the Big 2 needs it badly.
Emma Frost is not all that. she’s just the superpowered Regina George white gay men think they are. her fans don’t like her because she has depth or is interesting, they like her because she’s an embodiment of their dreams where people bow to them because they’re hot and sassy.
use this tweet to post your ACTUAL comic book/cbtwt hot take something so spicy you’ve only said it on priv until now… this is a safe space i promise you.
Blue Beetle: There’s no telling who killed the President of the United States.
Peacemaker: Exactly, it’s almost pointless even trying to investigate.
The Question:
Lark hasn’t been working much, Aja has mostly vanished— though, he did do The Seeds during the pandemic with Ann Nocenti, read that!— and Leon is no longer with us, sadly. It’s a style so synonymous with mid-00s comics for me. Hawkeye, Gotham Central, and fill-ins of everything.
*how do you know Bendis is a Byrne fan?
Because if you follow a writer look at what stories he riffs on, those are probably stories he read or remembers, house of m comes from him using the John Byrne scarlet witch shit. He might have feuded with him but man clearly read him
This could go one of three ways.
Either this means nothing, making him a cis straight gender non-conforming man.
Or he’s queer, giving us a bi/pan/gay protagonist.
Or, and this might be farfetched, Lemire is about to write a story about a trans kid that’ll change comics forever.
The day I started calling Cyclops “Scott” was the day I understood why X-men fans think Mutants are real and actually oppressed irl cause Scott is a real dude and he’s my friend
what if they make King In Black its own movie but instead of Venom teaming up with the X-Men and the Avengers and Spider-Man, he teams up with Morbius and Kraven and Madame Web?
Hey guys!! I’m looking for mutuals who are into the same stuff! Follow me and I’ll follow back, especially if you like comics! Like and retweet so this can have better reach!!
@milkydraws888
I love when Pete is a complete douche to everyone except the really hot girls he knows 😭 Like when he’s a complete sweetheart and flatterer to Jen and Sue it just rocks

@BLoobama
No, Phillip, you don’t get it. If anyone has ever fought a specific villain type before, you can’t do it again. That’s why superheroes stopped fighting aliens in 1941.
I think there’s a distinct difference in just being an active duty service member and planning the invasion of Iraq as part of the CIA (and then bragging about it)
@covertkirby
Criticism for Tom King isn’t bad, but the actual critiques typically lobbed at him are pretty horrendous
And the Iraq War criticism thrown at him too is justified, but it says less about his actual work and more about the industry that also props up people like PKJ
I am now convinced Brazil has the second highest population of gooners only behind France because the amount of “best of hunter schafer” accounts that are vanishing overnight is immense

@movieloverblake
This “subplot” is.. what the movie is about. It’s about exploitation of a living being for spectacle. Gordy is the audience being shown what that does to us in the real world.
puppy~ cmere girl! sit... good puppy!!! look at your face,, so happy to see me.. owners had a bad day at work puppy... a frustrating day.. you know what that means? of course you dont...
up on the bed puppy go on! good girl,,, now lay down.. tummy out pup,, good girl!!! so good,
@ratlimit
I do not like the “this is not art” mindset
he sculpted that and it looks good even if it’s weird gooner slop
took effort and skill idk that’s art
It’s actually absurdly cool that Wolverine is every possible “wandering hero” archetype smashed into one. He’s a drunken cowboy ronin biker lumberjack.
seriously. if all that’s stopping you from reading a book about THE HOLOCAUST is “oh the cover looks a little uncomfortable :(“ you never actually gave a shit in the first place. you’re weak. you’re part of who’s burying this shit.
Heres a comic haul with a huge tip attached: Seek. Out. Ollie’s.
Ollie’s is a bargain store in the US with dozens upon dozens of locations. Most states have multiple, and every location has a comic shelf.
I paid $44. This is $195 worth of comics.
I’m noticing that when I talk about things I like people like my tweets more and that makes me happy. I’m also getting really hungry rn idk why I just keep clicking my pen
@therightram
Holy shit, that’s a much better response than I could’ve hoped for. Hell yeah. I see many comic writers who love what they do, but I’ve consistently found you to be someone who loves it on a level unprecedented. Looking forward to you and Evan’s

, I’ll be there.
Superhero fans don't care about the medium or it's quality. They don't care about "art". They want their stupid little brains tickled with appealing images of Spider-Man punching the green goblin. Entertainment for ogres who can't read.
Lady Gaga says she wouldn’t describe ‘JOKER 2’ as a musical.
“The music is a way to give the characters a way to express themselves because the dialogue wasn’t enough”

What makes this even funnier is that everyone I’ve ever spoken to swears Gordon called him Cobblepot in that movie and upon inspection he never does that once
I feel like the Gaiman shit made a lot of people switch up on his generally agreed to be good stuff instead of the stuff that should be switched up on.
It’s actually insane seeing a me reference out in the wild, holy shit. Did I canonize myself into comic twitter lore by having a dumbass layout for a month 😭
just found out I have a legion of people who hate me n talk shit about me in a gc and thought I was a pedophile for a second ermmm y’all gotta get a fucking JOB 😭 😭 😭
Mephisto (Marvel) will seemingly be added to Fortnite later this season 👀
In the game files, it has been revealed that Doctor Doom is currently trying to summon him in the Tower at Doom's Castle!

A year ago today I watched the Blue Beetle film for the 1st time in theatres with my ex gf who had suspicions of me not liking women for some time now & apparently my hysterical reaction to Ted Kord appearing on screen "told her everything she needed to know" so she broke it off

d-z’s song of the day is “Love To Keep Me Warm” by Laufey and Dodie. jazz inspo folded into a masterful homage to old school Christmas music. a bouncy drum and bass line carries you like a sled on snow. the dual singers capture winter wonderland idealism beautifully.
remember when there was a random girl in TASM 1 named “Jessica” that people thought was Jessica Jones because they shared a first name and had no last name in the credits? yeah. this
that shit was a genuine, heartfelt, passionate story about daughterhood. the character was made for a cashgrab in the comics, yeah, but that’s not her purpose in this movie
yo real talk, you’re fucking disgusting. I’m trying to actually genuinely talk on the subject of the Holocaust, keeping information and education around it alive, making said information accessible, and you’re in here calling me a Nazi cause I think Dixon could write.
modern comics: what if.. Superman hugged a fascist dictator.. so that he’d turn good..? :’)
old comics: what if Hitler got slowly burnt to death by a robot and his last words were begging for his death to be reported as a su1c1de and some random soviet overheard and went “ok
chat I found a magic lamp and asked if they would ban one of my enemies off the app and this mf said “Be careful what you wish for” now dude’s entire country got banned my fault guys
The back half of this run is a series of really bad stories with even worse concepts written shockingly well with a really good Peter Parker at the focus of all of them. I cannot stand One More Day but he sounds like Spider-Man! There’s legitimate suspense! How did he do it?
So my question is like. If characterization is subjective, then what even makes it a character? Why can I go “that’s Batman” when he could, at any point in time, pull out a spear and start impaling people like a kebab?
Clearly, for a character to exist, they need traits, right?
Characterization is, and always will be, a subjective matter. Bottom line.
Opinions on what a character should be are incredibly subjective and are based on what you want, what you’ve read, when you’ve read it, and what you took away from your reading.
It is not objective
