superman is literally jesus apparently (i do like that page of him stopping a jumper, because that's totally a thing superman would do. the jesus thing? eh not so much)
Know who wrote that page?
Garth Ennis.
Know what happens to every other superhero when Ennis writes them?
i like that ennis hates superheros but i hate that this means people dismiss The Boys out of hand
because its not about how superheros suck
i mean it is according to one of the characters but it's really not
it's about how having absolute power is corrupting and about competence vs incompetence and long plans and slow burns
I've read a few trades of The Boys
and it's not good
it's saying the things you say it is but those themes are couched in Ennis-bullshit
and I'm not putting up with Ennis-bullshit unless it's Hellblazer or Hitman
the first 2-3 trades are not good
once you get past that it's pretty great
it also helps when you realize that literally nobody except Hughie and Annie are remotely close to being good guys and that you're not supposed to agree with anything butcher says
- Morbius, the Living Vampire
- the black costume
- Frog Man
- Tarantula
- The Gibbon
- Humbug
- Speedball
- Hydro Man
- Stegron, the Dinosaur Man
- Spider-Phoenix
- Venom as the Punisher
And also the first appearance of American Eagle, but that's unrelated

I'll always like Superman better because he is better
as much as I hate Frank Quitely
that is a great page
Comparing this to what happened in Grounded makes my blood boil. I swear if I ever meet JMS in person I'll tell him to his face how much that story sucked, it made me that angry.
I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!!!

I tried to read punisher max but it's got all the same stupid horseshit tropes and awful dialogue that Ennis puts in everything
Hitman was amazing, though
his run on Hellblazer was really good (but so far nobody has had a bad run on Hellblazer)
Preacher was...well, it was good, but the more of Ennis' work I read, the less I like Preacher
Shorty on

because i love that arc

Ultimate Spider-Man is a bad cartoon and I have washed my hands of it
so disappointed to hear that
That it's bad or that I'm done with it
It being bad
Oh.
Yeah, it sucks that it's awful
Peter's voice actor is terrible, the writing is bad, The Family Guy cutaways aren't funny, the animation alternates between being at really weird angles and moments where it's clear the characters are just still figures with an animated background

if by the same bullshit tropes that are in everything you mean a thing about the troubles and also "the MIC is a bunch of assholes and the real bad guys"
and the second was handled really goddamn well
his punsiher is fantastic
long cold dark is probably my favorite punisher story ever
Haven't read the superman thing, but I absolutely love JMS
Not only did he rescue Spider-Man from 90s hell, he wrote one of the best Silver Surfer stories ever with Requiem, and he did Rising Stars, The Twelve, etc
It'll be interesting to see what he does with that watchmen prequel stuff
If you still love JMS you obviously haven't read Grounded. So NEVER READ IT.
I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!!!

I liked the first bit of JMS's run on Amazing, but after the whole Ezekiel story ended, it went completely to shit and I don't understand what happened.

Spider-Man
I don't even give a shit that he couldn't beat Superman in a fight
He wins the awesomeness fight hands down
Also he beat up firelord once
Squirrel Girl could kick Spider hyphen Man's ass.

so yeah goku totally wins
so disappointed to hear that
go to every hell

i thought you asked "what's a gibbon"
it's alright, not great
better than winick but worse than willingham
I have looked within myself and found nothing of value.
Working as intended.
I would just trade my memories of marrying Mary Jane to escape all the hells in the dumbest retcon/reboot of history.
Secret Satan 2013 Wishlist
there isn't much worse than "i'm going to beat this dead horse like it's a money pinata" willingham
the last arc of the boys is probably the best so far
and now we're heading into the finale
OMD was dumb, no question
Chapter One was even dumber
superman travels around the world for stories
is that even a truck?
then it could be better by default
Nice.
I've got the first appearance of Beta Ray Bill.
Got it at Atlantis Fantasyworld years back, best comic store in the world.
Seriously. The best.
Why I fear the ocean.
No
For all the kerfuffle made about Miles Morales I doubt he'll ever be mentioned outside of his comic
Which bums me out, because I absolutely love Miles Morales
I have my doubts
and I don't have the time for Ennis
he is the Chuck Palahniuk of comics
seriously usm was a really great way to put a spin on the existing mythos
miles is a really great way to put a spin on THAT
like the whole thing with aaron is probably the best twist on spider-man's uncle
and i love that bendis made peter dying the catalyst for miles being a hero, instead of resorting to killing a relative
as much as I hate Frank Quitely
that is a great page
Plus his costume is awesome
Comparing this to what happened in Grounded makes my blood boil. I swear if I ever meet JMS in person I'll tell him to his face how much that story sucked, it made me that angry.
