Gorth Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Corto Maltese... that brings back memories. I wonder where my old Modesty Blaise collection ended up. On an unrelated note, Le Schtroumpfissime (The Smurf King) should be mandatory school material in all modern "democracies". It's basically Machiavellinism explained for lay people.

PK htiw klaw eriF Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 i've never been a comic reader really, but recently i've been giving it a shot currently working my way through the Civil War comics - catching up on all these old storylines i've heard about Hope you've been enjoying it so far. IMO, it would be best to avoid the megaevents.

Amentep Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I just finished the first two trades of IDW's Popeye series which is awesome. Its a great distillation of the E. C. Segar comic character, the Fleisher cartoon character and a few other popular elements rolled into a great comic. Now working through the first trade of Axe Cop... I cannot - yet I must.

Gfted1 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 That's what I use and I really dig it. The apps let you share the comics across all devices and also offer whats called a "guided view" option, which instead of seeing the whole page at once it will instead show you each panel in order, which I prefer. I don't know how the prices compare to physical media though. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PK htiw klaw eriF Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) I'm thinking of picking up Manhattan Projects, does anyone here follow that. Also In SSM 9, Doc Ock kills Peter Parker again, while guilt-tripping him(never mind Doc Ock is a mass murderer who just tried to destroy the world). I swear, Dan Slott never ceases to surprise me with how bad he is at writing.

Some things brought back bad memories of Ultimatum. Ugh, so bad. Yes, lets kill a teleporter with a tidal wave. Magneto can use Mjolnir. Magneto can use magnetism to kill every living cell in Wolverine's body. Blob is now a Cannibal and suddenly ages 15 years. Pyro is now a sadistic rape-loving member of the brotherhood when the issue before he was a loveable member of the X-Men. He can't even keep continuity from one issue to the next. Jeph Loeb is to Marvel what Stephanie Meyer is to Vampires. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agiel Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 A friend of mine who was into Marvel had told me about The Sentry, saying that it would probably be the most wretched thing I would ever have the displeasure of reading. While as I have said before I didn't have a terribly high opinion of superhero comics, I was open-minded enough to at least read some of the issues he showed me to see if our opinions differed... Soon after, I learned that my friend was 100% accurate in his assessment; even with my fairly limited knowledge of the Marvel canon I felt as if the writers had gone out of their way to anger the readers, then continued to rub jagged pieces of rock salt into the wounds with every successive issue when a sane editor would have killed the series long ago with the crazy contrivances they have grown so fond of using over the years. I have heard defenders make fair points about the redeeming qualities of the character; the core of the character I don't find particularly objectionable (the Dr. Manhattan concept operated on similar principles). But the execution was bungled every step of the way. Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
