    Fraction's Iron Man run was great, yeah

    I dunno where Fraction and I kind of diverged in terms of taste. I re-read his IIF recently to see if I was viewing it through rose tinted glasses and no, no it's still just fucking excellent. His X-men I enjoyed, his Iron Man I really enjoyed. What happened to us, Matt?

    Was it me? Did I become older and crustier and more miserable in my taste (signs point to yes haha)
    No I am actually with you on this one

    Marvel Now is really where we parted ways I think

    Well no I love Sex Criminals but his FF/F4 didn't do much for me outside of a fee aspects and his 2 published issues of Inhumans were kinda mediocre and I haven't liked any of his other Image stuff

    Sex Criminals and I don't get on at all, and I don't mind that some of his writing has gone really quite off the wall in style (you might call it Morrisonian, but I don't think Fraction has the same sense of symbolism in comics which runs all the way through Morrison's work), but I'm just not a fan of what he does any more. He's too cool and trendy for me. Like, I can appreciate the idea and the artwork of Ody-C, but I'm a big fan of the original lliad and I've seen a few sci-fi interpretations over time, and his just aint all that.

    Just watched the Supergirl trailers.

    Looks pretty okay.

    That they're listing the executive producer/s involved is always cause for a little concern, but whatever.

    Uh, why?

    How is "This superhero show is brought to you by the people that made these other superhero shows you like!" a cause for concern?

    That makes more sense when listing off directors.

    Listing off Executive Producers means they were kinda worried about a work getting your attention.

    This sums it up pretty well.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeWpCJruFlw

    As mentioned, the title of producer isn't quite the same in television as it is in film. The top producer on a show is going to be running the entire season. They're often involved with the writing and will decide the general tone and direction for the show. And for Supergirl this is something very much worth mentioning.

    Andrew Kreisberg has a strong background in comics and is almost definitely the reason why the Flash both exists and is as good as it is. Ever since he's said that nothing is off the table as too silly or too out there for his shows I've trusted him to put out a good product.

    That said, the other Flash producer attached to Supergirl is Greg Berlanti. His greatest success before the Arrowverse stuff was Dawson's Creek. His only super hero outing without the other producers was the Green Lantern movie. Overall he strikes me as a perfectly decent writer/producer but more geared towards traditional TV drama which has honestly been one of my biggest complaints with Flash and Arrow.

    The third person attached is Allison Adler whose biggest scripts seem to have been Chuck, Glee, and The New Normal. But I don't really have much of an opinion on any of those.

    That said it will eventually come down to how well they work together and what they decide on for the story and script.

    Has there ever been a comic where Thor has teamed up with a Viking SoV? I think that'd be awesome.

    Flaming 2h chained axe, berserker vestments, and riding an Undead Ram.

    There are loads I could name and love, but honestly I've always been a big fan of the cowboy riding a snorting, demonic steed, flaming colt blasting hellfire at the damned souls he hunts across the cursed prairie!

    For movies, maybe. But for TV, producers have much more impact (I'm assuming). It's not really any different than Marvel using "From the studio that brought you Avengers and Iron Man" or some shit on their movies.

    it's not so much that they have an impact as they are the only constant force throughout the series. usually the producers listed are the damn showrunners, which, i feel is self-explanatory. a season of television will have multiple writers and directors that come and go, but the producers are usually around from day one. they are the ones most responsible for how a show turns out.

    I'm conflicted. Batlabor still looks great, but the hair and lack of mustache are the worst.

    It seems like they did it for a reason, given how much dialogue in the FCBD issue was about his haircut.

    I just can't really think of what that reason could be

    Hard to believe that the company that brought us Identity Crisis and Flashpoint would make such a creative misstep with their properties.

    Another cop (I think Maggie Sawyer?) was like "what's with the dumb fuckin haircut, Jim?" and he was like "I'm a marine. It's a high and tight" and she was like "dude that's not what a high and tight looks like"

    then the haircuts parents were killed in an alley by Joe Chill
