What is this dude's backstory, personality, and motivation?
I know, I know, "he's the black one", "he killed a planet", "he was briefly Space Jesus"...there's a REASON why he does things though, right? Like...there's a character in there somewhere?
>>85537210
>backstory,
Architect, who enlisted for in the marines to pay for college, Grewup in a poor neighborhood but rose to greatness through sheer hard work
>personality & motivation?
Sten,he severs to counter balance hal's discount han solo-ness, Kyles idealism, and Guys...guy-ness
He is smart, and constantly tries to do the smart thing even when its a hard decision, this leads him to making mistakes he regrets.
John struggles to stay the same person who grew up in the hood despite being trillions of miles from home
>>85537210
An unpopular opinion, but John is my favorite GL. Largely thanks to growing up with the DCAU
>>85537450
Same here.
In a perfect world Hal has the Title book but John is the Resident JL Lantern
The new 52 Aquaman run is amazing. Prove me wrong.
>>85537120
Johns' run was mediocre. Parker's was better.
>>85537120
>Aquaman
Challenge met.
>>85537120
Johns' insecurity about the character kinda ruined it honestly. I thought it was mediocre.
You guys gonna watch it?
>>85537022
Nope.
I dunno.
Yes
Mainly for duty plus I wanna see if Dolph Lundgren beats a black guy too death
Pages that are examples of what comics SHOULD be
>>85536753
That's a fucking horrible example of what comics should be. They're sequential art. The proliferation of double-page spreads has completely fucked over the art of comics by making things like proper paneling and visual storytelling secondary to "look at how cool this spread looks! Wallpaper/Poster worthy, amirite?"
>>85536753
Comics should be done in strict grids with a focus on tight pacing and panel/color composition
Still tomorrow's comic for 30 minutes!
In this strip, Billie is confirmed to be a co-dependent bisexual potato
All glory to Patreanon
>>85536734
Where's Becky?
>>85536781
>Billie will never smash you between her monster thighs.
Why live?
What does /co/ think of Milestone?
Black super-heroes with eletric/cyborg powers.
>>85536685
I like Clark Everlasting.
I read alot of the run when it first came out. They use to have sayings in the titles like "dont start none, wont be none ". Also liked the "big bang" thought it was interesting
What sort of font do comics use?
I feel like there are a couple of similar ones stylistically (and I know they have names but I never actually tried to look it up beyond seeing jargon used in passing). Like you can see a page and know it's a DC or Marvel book sometimes even if you don't recognize the characters. But some letterers make up their own as well. Just kind of depends I guess.
>>85536335
How common is Comic Sans in comics?
Comic book letterers use ther own handwritting but a certain technique is required to make it look good.
So what is the purpose of a Lapis, exactly? Obviously they control water, but to do what?
Remember when Lapis said she got sent to Earth, but she never mentioned for what?
>Earth is 80% water
>"Gee what could Lapis be useful for hurrrrrrrr"
>>85536363
Do tell, please. Do gems need water?
>>85536402
Nigga if you were trying to take over a planet where 80% of said planet could be used against itself, why wouldn't you send a Lapis
Did he ever get punished for pulling this shit?
>>85536120
>It's Secret Wars. I ain't gotta follow up on shit.
t. Marvel
No. Bendis glosses over that entire period and Soule is doing his own thing.
>>85536120
>Does everyone a favor by giving them something sweet for free.
>Everyone's all butt-blasted when he asks them to pay for it next time.
Nothing wrong.
GRANDMA'S KISSES YOU FAGGOT!
WHAT THE FUCK WOULD KEVIN BACON DO!?
GRANDMA'S ASS CHEEKS.
wat fuk u doin nigr
Why is he so bad at his job?
>>85535922He thinks with his dick
I think I want to have sex with my axe.
>>85535922
He turned a frog woman into a princess, fixed a guy's uneven ears, turned another guy's exposed brain into a drink, and separated siamese twins at the head. That's pretty good.
ITT: mediocre or otherwise unremarkable shows that you only watched because you were bored
Admit it. Nobody ever watched this because they LIKED it.
>Get an updated origin story
>Ignored two years later by Bendis
Let's do this
The funny thing about this scene is that it takes right before the X-Men are brought to the future.
>>85535649
the dceu is great
killing joke isn't overrated
doom patrol is the worst thing grant wrote ever
flex mentallo might be the goat comic
raimi spiderman is still better then any marvel movie since
iron man 1 is the only good mcu movie
the dcau is overrated by people that don't read comics
batman snow is the best looking comic ever
identity politics have no place in comics
dc and marvel are so different that if you lump the together as the big 2 you should end your life
young justice is an amazing comic not a shitty cartoon
What a big boy you are, OP! Yes you are! Yes you are! You know how to make threads? Yes you do!
>>85535441
so... whats the point of this thread again?
>>85535614
To be a contrarian fuck.
can somebody please provide some examples of wanking? i know comics based on certain people are supposed to make said person appear badass, but when does it really cross the line into wank territory? i heard some people here say that TDKR is a bat-wank, but i dont see any wanking, just batman being badass. did i miss something?
It's not just characters doing cool things but when other characters, even allies, are portrayed poorly beyond logic to make the first character look better by comparison is when it gets wanky.
>>85535376
It's basically when some character you don't like does something amazing instead of the character you like.
For example look at this scene.
This is totally fine but if instead of the guy dressed like a blue eskimo there was a guy dressed like a Bat saying he activated the last wayne-corp gadget or something which he spent billions to make and was based on Mr. Freeze technology it would be batwankery.
>>85535427
ohhhh, now i see, so THAT'S why people think TDKR is wanky, because superman is written as incompetent, not because batman is written well. thanks m8.
