    True

    TLB does not lie about his opinions, at least

    As far as I know Tarot is done in total seriousness.

    I disagree. No-one's stupid enough to put a
    haunted vagina
    in a serious comic.

    So, this exists.

    And it's being written by Paul Jenkins.

    Maybe every page will just be a different Super - Hero, punching him right in the face.

    Also, will that thing cause an orange ink shortage?

    Is there some contest that I am unaware of that involves finding the absolute worst artists to put on The Incredible Hulk?

    I'm more stunned at the writing direction that they took; At the end of fear they could have done anything with the character and they went with... whatever the hell that was.

    Well with the latest arc it went from super dumb to incredibly interesting

    Banner and Hulk are merged again, but in reverse. Hulk is the "default" state, Banner only comes out when Hulk is happy and relaxed. Hence the title "Stay Angry". So now Banner, who is still a lil' crazy and pissed at the Hulk, is actively plotting against him during the period where Hulk is the secondary personality. Basically Hulk blacks out and then wakes up in a weird-ass place in terrible situations and has no idea what Banner did to get him there or what he is up to now. It is a game of Cat and Mouse with himself.

    I almost posted in the other thread but I just saw Chris Sims review of the newest issue of Tarot and thought some might enjoy it.

    Gattling Gun bra and who is in the fancy suit?!

    I question if I should put this in bitching but some might bitch if put it in the other thread.

    weirdly inventive, actually

    like, maybe even funny in a stupid, over the top, porny kind of way

    That looks amazing, if it wasn't for the gratuitous tits and ass I would totally buy that comic.
    Just kidding, I totally would buy it but have no idea where to even start looking for it around here.

    I was more surprised by the quality of the art.

    I'm not familiar with him at all and was expecting the typical shitty porn comic artwork but that's quite nice.

    The scary thing is that Jim Balent according to those images has a better idea of how to work the sexy fetish stuff into superheroics than say 90% of the big 2. His dick is at least paying attention.

    Well, the dude did draw Catwoman for six years back in the 90s.

    Dude was writing comics in the early 90's

    assuming he was in his twenties then, that means he is in his forties now

    I'm 22, I'm allowed to call people in their forties old

    Imagine all the pain that guy went through to pull that off, I mean they were biting him and he likely got beaten down by some crazed robot. Got to be a bad month in jail for him.

    You can say you were the first and have a full collection.

    I have a good number of his works on Catwoman, issue four and up I think? Pretty sure it had Bane in it after he got broken by the "bat".

    To be fair, most superhero costumes do, period, regardless of gender. I'm sorry, but when your shirt is showing off your obliques, it's maybe time to go up a size. That can't be doing anything good for your circulation.

    However, I do have one follow-up question. Are there any good mystery comics that are collected in trades? like with detectives and clues and stuff? Not necessarily super-hero but more realistic or like Sherlock Holmes or anything?

    This is true.

    Look at the males, a good many of them would make body builders envious.

    Modern costumes generally have a bit of flair like seams, wrinkles, or zippers to distinguish them as clothes, and intricate designs or logos help as well.

    But apart from the absence of a belly button, it really does look like she dipped herself in purple paint

    Weirdly enough, Balent forgot the belly button, it's usually drawn with that costume.

    He hasn't had his own ongoing series in something like 20 years.

    You can find him currently co starring in The Defenders.
