Mayor Dewey was going to more or less be exactly what you described in the early draft of the series,before they cast Joel and make him a comedic, unaggressive character.

I imagine we'll see a group like that soon enough, there's a dude with an eyepatch that popped up a few times, maybe he's keeping an eye on them.

Because it's not the kind of story sugar wants to tell, it would like asking why the punisher doesn't solve his problems with pleasant and empathic conversation.

That was the story where the Predator beat down a prep'd Batman, and Alfred had to save Bruce's bacon, right? It was fun.

>>85754260
Predators don't hunt the unarmed. How did they reconcile this?

>>85755143
Batman beat predator with baseball bat in his mansion.

It's the first real Bat-man story.

Good, we need more of this

Nice. I can't wait for that panel explaining romeo and Juliet laws.

Was this all a scam for Marvel to fulfill their interracial cuckold fetish?

From what I remember, "no".

>Was the 70s Godzilla cartoon good? Or even watchable?

Godzilla shot lasers from his eyes, so I dunno. Maybe not that good.

>Nrama: This mission that they're on has some application to real world politics. Can you describe who they're rescuing here, and why the U.S. sends them on this mission?

>Ostrander: The story's kernel started when I was talking with my better half, Mary Mitchell, and we started talking about some articles we'd read that said George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld all couldn't really travel overseas very much because there were countries that wanted to put them on trial for alleged war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.

>And so I thought, well, there's an interesting idea.

>So I created a character who's like them, but not them. And then he's kidnapped on the streets of Manhattan by a strike force and then brought over to the Hague in the Netherlands, to the international criminal court where they try war crimes.

>And of course, there are many people in America who are simply outraged. This is something they don't think should be allowed, and there are those who are talking about sending the military to get him back, but that would involve the U.S. invading an ally, which is not the best thing in the world.

>So what do you do? You send in the Suicide Squad. This is what they were made for.

>And of course, being the Squad, the mission goes sideways.

>Nrama: We've seen the cover, so we've got an idea of who's in the book. Some familiar faces for you, but some different too?

>Ostrander: Yeah. We've got the unholy trinity of Amanda Waller, Deadshot, and Captain Boomerang. And of course Rick Flag is in there as well.

>And into this mix, we through El Diablo, whom I had not played with before. And Harley Quinn, of course. And a character called Mad Dog.

>And the difference this time, for all of them, is that they have not only the little things in their heads that will blow up if they quit the team, but if they get captured, they can also be blown up and killed. Because America doesn't want them left behind to say things that they shouldn't be saying.

>Nrama: Never a good situation for this team. Looking back at the Suicide Squad, what do you think was so attractive about this team? Why has this concept endured?

>Ostrander: Well, when I first proposed the Squad, it seemed like a radical idea, of America using not-so-good people to go off and do covert actions that were supposedly in America's best interest, or self-proclaimed best interest.

>And then in between the time it was proposed and accepted and first published, Irangate broke out, where we found out the U.S. was trading weapons for [hostages] and everything else. And once again, reality made us look like a piker.

>I think one of the attractions of the Squad for people is that it feels very real world.

>Generally you have A fighting B over some perceived thing. But no, this is real-world stuff, and these people didn't necessarily want to be part of that. And there's sort of an inherent drama, I think, in that.

>Nrama: You mentioned earlier that you wouldn't normally write your Suicide Squad stories with quite this kind of pace. Obviously, at the time the Squad was introduced, you had to tell people who they were and the concept behind them, which most people know now. But looking back at the style of the book in the early days - a run that is so venerated in the comic book industry now - how would you describe your approach? Why do people look back and call out that run as so special?

>Ostrander: One of my approaches to action and fights is that it's a way of revealing character as well. It's not just A hitting B. You know?

>One of the ways of revealing character is to take someone and put them in the middle of something and then see how they react, see how they respond.

>And I think I did that consistently - both me and my late wife Kim Yale, when she joined the writing team.

>So there was emphasis on characterization. Everything not only moved the story forward, but also revealed character.

>And there were themes. This is something I learned from Shakespeare: You tie the theme into what the action was, to what was going on. You didn't just stand there and spell it out. You put it there so that the reader could put it together.

>Nrama: People know these people even better right now because of the Suicide Squad film. What was it like to be honored by the movie for your creation of the modern squad - I saw your name plastered on that government building, which had to be cool for you. You went to the premiere, right?

>Ostrander: Oh yeah, I was invited out and oh, what a night. What a night. One of the things that just knocked me out was that, even before we went over to the premiere party, I and Mike Gold, who was with me, and down in Times Square they had this huge ad plastered on the side of the building - like, four or five stories tall and wrapped around the sides of the building - and my jaw just dropped.

>There was so much attention devoted to the Squad. So many people wishing it well and stuff. Really, it's one of the best days in my life.

>Nrama: Now that you've written Suicide Squad Special: War Crimes #1, is there a chance we'll see you writing more of these characters?

>Ostrander: Well, Andy Khouri, the editor who asked me onto this to begin with, and I have been talking. And there's a possibility I could do maybe some villains and stuff like that. And that would be fun!

I'm distracted by Deadpool's tiny leopard thong.

Couldn't he just be naked?

>>85753568
Didn't he recently become pretty again ? Or is it before that ?

I don't know, Pete actually is a dweeb so it makes sense from him, and Tony isn't actually showing in depth awareness of the series, he's just taking an easy chance to steal someone's thunder.

I do agree that some writers do try to write all their sympathetic characters as quirky nerds, though, and that can get tiresome.

The episode proves Joker is right and that one bad day can push a man to the point of becoming a monster.

>Carl

Heh. Because she's drawn like a man a lot lately.

Do I like her? Sometimes. Mostly before Marvel gave her such a big push, but she's still had her moments since then.

DeConnick's run was garbage and I'm still not sold on her being Captain Marvel. It feels kinda off to me. Not just because the traditionally feminine and very glamorous Carol seems to be losing a great deal of her femininity. That's a problem lots of female protagonists end up with.

My problem with her being Captain Marvel is that it makes her feel way more derivative of Mar-Vell than before. I mean, she's wearing his colors and his symbol again when Carol's had a distinctive color scheme and symbol that's belonged to her alone for decades. The new design even deemphasizes her sash. And that's one of her most iconic design elements. It really feels like she's wearing her dead boyfriend's clothes now. I was amazed at how much better the new suit looks on her in black. It'd be better if the sash were red and the accents were gold, but it's still way better.

Then there's the name. This is probably just me, but I like the name Ms. Marvel much more than Captain Marvel. It's alliterative and never felt all that derivative to me. It also sidesteps the whole "Isn't she a major though?" thing.

I guess Hawkeye is a good character to use. He's very anti-authoritarian.

I'll repeat my thought from another thread

>Super heroes -- they're a privileged class. Doing what they want, when they want and suffering no consequences. They have no regard for the ordinary people who are left behind to suffer in their wake. Who will stand up for the little guy?

I actually find this kind of insulting. This writer is basically calling every hero in the MU a selfish asshole that doesn't care about normal people.
HEROES SAVE EVERYONE ALL THE DAMN TIME.
Who exactly are these "ordinary people who are left behind to suffer in their wake"?
Heroes risk their lives saving civilians, defeating bad guys and stopping threats that would hurt society. How is defeating the Red Skull and Kang the Conqueror not something that helps civilians? What exactly is Hawkeye and his band of hippies gonna do differently?
