Good evening owls of /co/,

This new logo still sucks

How about that Bloodlines, huh?
>>

so reposting from late thread, this is even fucking funnier when you've read the comics it's referencing

Rich Ellis art, despite Steve Lieber's name on the cover. Sorry for the misattribution! It's hilarious work!

I can't think of a better way to embrace nostalgia for the long and storied history of DC comics, the home of some of the finest sequential art of the last century. It is truly a display of boldness to bring back such a titan of the past but now steeped in the deep, rich lore of the New 52 universe to temper it. Truly, we live in blessed times.

Also, have some discussion about long-form comics from Ron Marz's Twitter:

>Ron Marz @ronmarz Conventional wisdom: if you put out a solid book every month, you'll lose sales every month. Attrition strikes most titles. (1 of 3) There are finite retailer dollars every month. With constant events, relaunches and variants, good books get lost in the shuffle. (2 of 3) Audience has been
trained to invest in what's new/what's next, as opposed to cultivating long-term growth and long-term readers. (3 of 3)

Layman @themightylayman I've certainly learned a few things writing a 60-issue book. The biggest lesson: never again.

Joe Eisma @Supajoe after having done an Image book for six years I can say unequivocally that this is true. I won't do another long form series.

I really hope Marvel doesn't keep going through with their "seasonal" plan.

Big relaunches every year or so would be absolutely awful, if just for this reason.

Captain Marvel #1 exceeded expectations, which were admittedly in the toilet, even if Aurora's name is still spelled wrong
>>
>>79108590
yeah it seems like ANAD wasn't quite a DCYou level flop but it isn't pretty at all either

I think another wave of relaunches within the year would perform pretty poorly
>>
>>79108592
Maybe not full good, but certainly not bad
>>
>>79108412

Marvel is oversaturating the market with product, it's shit. Also the constant status quo changing events and relaunches must eventually lead to a crash where people just burn out and stop caring.

I'm glad I started reading US comics in the 90's when you could follow something like Starman through 60+ issues, or Spectre, or Sandman Mystery Theatre. Or hell, even Thunderbolts.

Truly the last great era of the American comic.

I can get behind that.
I am just so irritated that the Finches get to keep ruining her and her rogues. And she's probably still on it just because of her husband and because she's a woman. I think DC's well aware of how bad the reviews are and how low sales are dropping.

I fell behind on that series and never got around to catching back up. How close is it to the end now?
>>
So I saw Creed earlier and I'm suddenly really excited for the Black Panther movie because Creed was stellar. Ryan Coogler's direction was so goddamn good and the depth and breadth he gave an inherently populist (and unpretentious) movie was totally unexpected.

I'm not much of a Black Panther fan but I feel if Coogler can do this with what is effectively Rocky 7 he's gonna do great things with BP and a Marvel-Disney budget and backing.

I thought PAD was immune after his first run on X-Factor kept getting relaunched, but ANXF died so quickly that got quashed.

Yeah, the best books never tend to even get past the first trade. People bitch and moan over the low quality of the early Image, X-Men and other stuff in the 90's but they forget that the success of those titles and the general hype around comics drove up sales on EVERYTHING.

What's the point of being a writer if your artist is just gonna tell you what to do? The whole point is a collaboration, not just nodding your head at the artist telling you what to write because of what he wants to draw.

Really this woman needs a co writer if she wants to keep writing and her husband is a shitty writer himself.

And please read Wonder Woman god. I'd have Johns over her since he's actually READ some Wondy now.

I think Snyder is firmly Johns-tier in that the editors don't really want to upset him.

Snyder has said he has ideas for other batvillains and he's still getting good reviews, feedback, and sales. So I think DC will want to keep him as happy as possible.

And I think they're gonna start doing that to King too.

Almost like Rocky? I think technically there are just some great moments in the film you cannot fault, and when it comes to personal inclinations there's a real grab bag of stuff to appeal to different folks.

I'm not one for all this #OscarsSoWhite shit but after seeing the movie there is no real reason Coogler doesn't have a Best Director nom. A nomination for Best Editing wouldn't be undeserved either although Mad Max feels like a shoe-in there.

Because DC doesn't care about Wonder Woman. It's really the only way this makes any sense. Although one would think that they'd put a writer who gives a shit on every book to increase the chances of good quality. But fuck common sense, I guess.

Captain Marvel was IMO about as good as you can hope for a #1 that isn't totally out there, like Vision for instance.

I believe I read that Busiek had no real plan for who the Cowl would really be, and thus it was all left up to FabNi. Justin Hammer only died recently in the Iron Man comics when this story happened, so it kinda makes sense.

Oh also Harrier/Cardinal is a character from Nicieza's New Warriors. That's why he's here.

Equating physical ugliness with moral ugliness is such an old storytelling technique that I don't think you'll ever really get rid of it. And some genres like horror gleefully embrace it - and the inversion of it ofc.

I'm sure much cleverer people than me have written about how you focus on beauty only as a positive or how you disassociate beauty from envy, but it does seem pretty difficult.
>>
>>79109335
I don't understand the second link's sentiment. Unless you're a characterfag who buys everything, does it matter? They don't even seem to crossover so it's not like DC is forcing you to spend more money. Harley's not a character I care about, but I see nothing wrong with what they're doing. They need books that are guaranteed to sell.

Hi storytime thread!

Whoever bought me Superman For All Seasons for the Secret Santa thread, good news! It wasn't one of the packages that I thought got stolen! Came in the mail this afternoon.

One of my favorite Superman comics. It's comfy as fuck.

>>79109400
>Apparently the word 'faggot' is used in the first issue, and some people got extremely upset about that
And they're not wrong to. We abuse the word 'faggot' here on 4chan so much, that it has become an insult, a term of affection, and even a casual honorific. But in fiction and real life, it's still an extremely hateful word.

They are, but beauty=good is a pernicious idea.

Verdi's Rigoletto is so effective in part because the Duke of Mantua is cast as decent-looking as you can, and he has gorgeous music that even you n00bs have heard before** and he's a complete monster.

Oof, yeah it seems most artists can draw one kind of man and one kind of woman. If you're fat, old, or too young, then you'll look off the entire time since it's clear the artist is struggling and not used to it.

And I know /co/ thinks Jim Lee is really generic, which he is half the time, but how he drew Dick and Barbara in ASBAR reminds me what a good artist he can be when he tries. Like Dick and Barbara weren't just naked with clothes painted on like his men and women are. He actually had to draw clothing! And age appropriate faces and body proportions!

Well we could both be horrible people. And I also did chuckle at both of the preview reviews being 'WHO IS LEGITIMATELY QUEER IN SQUIRREL GIRL' and 'THE X-MEN NEED TO TACKLE MORE REAL SOCIAL ISSUES'.

I don't really get where this idea comics are the vanguard of cutting edge social justice comes from. It's nice to push boundaries but it's also okay to have a comic that isn't about anything in the real world.

I don't mind HarleyxJoker though, damaged couples are pretty fun.

This discussion makes me think of this: http://comicsalliance.com/female-heroes-good-girl-role-models/
And they do mention Harley specifically:

>I believe Harley Quinn’s popularity with women springs from a similar place: she’s a character. She’s goofy and tragic and full of story potential. Her heart is bruised and patched and too big to manage, but she simply cannot shelve it away. It’s ugly. It’s melodramatic. And there’s no character I hear women cite more often as their favorite.

Which makes the "Harley is a great role model" stuff much stranger since the appeal for some seems to be that she isn't a cookie-cutter character that you're meant to emulate.

There was a Marvel junior editor, I forget who, who recently tweeted about unfollowing a young dude she was considering putting forward for Marvel comics work for bad netiquette, like throwing a tantrum on tumblr or something.

And I thought 'isn't tweeting about this really bad netiquette' but also it just made me think in general about how private our IRL public interactions can be (even negative ones, even unintentionally negative ones) and how totally not private almost everything online is. I actually think the backlash is worse online than to a fuck-up IRL as well.

Long live anonymity I guess.

The nuance for me is that I don't think the creator seeing it is the issue; that's normal expected risk since creators know there will be negative comments about themselves online and they have to look around to gauge interest in themselves and their work. But once they get tagged in it can feel like they're being attacked and then they might react to that when it was never the original intention of the first tweet. That can be smoothed even within the 140 characters but you just never know how things might go.

I guess my point is mostly that someone running the social media account of a publication needs to be aware of this phenomenon and ideally avoid throwing their readers under the bus. But apparently they just don't give a fuck, I don't know.

Emma Houxbois should stop woobiefying lady villains and talk more about her hate for Wonder Woman. I've never been able to shake the rightness of her view.
>>
>>79119945
Why does she hate Wonder Woman? The character or the current run?
>>
>>79120009
The character/concept. It was ages ago and I don't know if she's changed her mind but I still think about it.
http://mangajohncena.tumblr.com/post/11130364797/the-houxbois-academy-akoyam
>Diana is never just Diana. She’s the paragon of femininity, and almost without fail held up to be the Platonic Ideal of Woman in the iconic structure of the DCU. Which not only essentializes women, but nullifies any hope of ever convincingly forwarding the notion that there is no wrong way to be a woman (within the suffocatingly white DCU). It becomes Animal Farm. There’s no wrong way to be a woman, but there’s no better way to be one than this one! This is actually literally the message that Wonder Woman as she’s presented sends. Hence her legendary popularity among second wave feminists.
>>
>>79120142
I don't really but that too much. It seems like reasoning you could apply to any iconic character.
>>
>>79120288
Someone like Black Canary doesn't explicitly represent women the way Wonder Woman does. I've never seen a comic where every female hero in the DCU teams up and fangirls over how so like iconic and empowered Dinah is and how happy they are to be in her presence.
>>
>>79120348

No that's Harley Quinn
>>
>>79120348
I completely agree about the BC thing, but I'm not sure the other thing is a reason to hate the character rather than just the subjectivity she is often denied.
>>
>>79120516
I'm not sure if it's possible for her to be just Diana. It didn't just happen by accident. She was created as propaganda for Marston's ideal woman. Add 75 years of her being the only woman allowed to stand next to DC's most popular male heroes, and it's pretty intractable.
>>
>>79120627
I can agree with this statement but I think there are arguments for keeping her around within it:
>I'm not sure if it's possible for her to be just Diana. It didn't just happen by accident.
True but WW of today is not WW of 40 years ago and will not be WW of 40 years hence.
>She was created as propaganda for Marston's ideal woman. Add 75 years of her being the only woman allowed to stand next to DC's most popular male heroes, and it's pretty intractable.
Is this stuff interpretable in only one way? I think you can review and explore a character's background in new ways even when they have a background like this.

I think as such an iconic character it's important to have Diana be a good character I'd agree this kind of platonic one way of woman is not great. But I don't think it's a reason to abandon the character; in part because it's much harder to establish a new character to a similar level of recognition and in part (and with bias) because even if I don't like WW stories that much I really like her origin, supporting cast, etc. and want to see her keep getting stories.
>>
>>79112884
Think Marvel have seized on this tweet?
>>
>>79121216

>>
>>79120732
They could never get rid of her. She'll always be valuable as a bland symbol of girl power to put on t-shirts, and she'll always be there in the comics as an ever shifting morass of weird gender politics and mostly bad writing.

I like a lot of "alternative" takes on Wonder Woman. I liked most of Azzarello's run. I liked when Johns wrote her as Big Barda, because Big Barda is a good character.
