8HOUSE DEAD

It was a dumb idea anyway.

The less pleb shit on racks the better

>>78293633
it was more interesting than almost every other image publication

And nothing of value was lost.

How did Graham fuck up his series this badly. All he had to fucking do was release a full arc at a time instead of the retarded clusterfuck he ended up publishing.

he's talented but a fucking cretin, hilarious that the second panel ever published of 8house had a mistake in it.

What's the mistake? I don't see anything...

second symbol is not a part of their alphabet and they had to shittily edit it in to a reprinted alphabet sheet in issue 2

>>78293742
I like how you're using the word 'interesting' instead of 'better'. Kind of like using climate change instead of global warming. You can make it go either way.

>>78293707
>How did Graham fuck up his series this badly

Creative types make dumb business decisions. Whoda thunk it.

>>78293742
Lazarus, Velvet, Rat Queens...... should i carry on?

>>78293824
because my original point was its more interesting >>78293666

i don't fucking know if its better because they never published a whole arc aside from that yorris crap

>>78293873
>stealth tv pitch by greg 'i write boring comics' rucka with badly colored art (should have printed it in black and white tbqh)
>stealth tv pitch with generic art
>"D&D with a twist" with webcomic tier art

please do carry on

>>78293742
Stray Bullets, Rumble, Copperhead

>>78293742

Almost all of them. 8House was a half-baked art project with no direction from the beginning.

>>78293742
Huck
Kaptara
No Mercy

at least he still fights for *trans rights and publishes gay furry comics.

>>78294022
>Stray Bullets
ok but they arent the original publisher
>Rumble
a good comic but significantly less interesting than 8house
>Copperhead
carried by the artist who is not as good as penalta or lin

>8 House dead
>Island about to be canceled
>Prophet delayed
Why is he such a fuck up?

>>78294079
>Huck
please kill yourself
>Kaptara
impressively boring
>No Mercy
stealth tv pitch with shit art

>>78294132
That's what happens when you're a pretentious SJW faggot.

>>78294159
Low
Paper Girls
Phonogram

>>78294175
what are you talking about, he's publishing Onta and telling everybody who is triggered by it to fuck off

its a good comic but its not as good as the full run of 8house would have been and its not even trying to be
>Paper Girls
see above
>Phonogram
garbage

>>78293616
What the hell was his end goal for 8House? It sounds like his version of Grant Morrison's 7 Soldiers of Victory.

>>78294279
Pretty Deadly
Saints
Sex Criminals

>>78294282
each story was meant to be able to stand on its own and not heavily intertwine with the others but because hes a retard he combined them all into one title and interspersed the issues so that the first arc is still only half published despite starting 7 months ago

>>78294217
Forcing gay shit on people is pretty much peak pretentious SJW faggotry though.

>>78294256
>CQC Bro
nice trollpost

>>78294334
Not really since SJWs hate Onta

>>78294322
Well it sounds exactly like 7 Soldiers then.

>>78294298
>Pretty Deadly
its really badly written and not well colored. look at her work in island, it's 10 times better looking
>Saints
idk i havent read this yet
>Sex Criminals
lol no

>>78294298
Top lel, you're not even trying anymore.

>>78294404
by 'stand on its own and not heavily intertwine with others' i mean they literally share an alphabet and occasionally you see one of the other houses make an appearance (and never anyone linked at all to the characters in the other series featuring that house)

>>78294414
Shutter
Tokyo Ghost
We Stand on Guard

That's a bummer. I liked 8house but I'll admit I didn't really dig the release format. I prefer trades so I guess I helped kill the series.

If Island gets cancelled I'm gonna be heartbroken though

>>78294404
Seven Soldiers were separate minis with little references to eachother and with two separate book end issues to tie them all together. Different as night and day.

>>78294452
>Tokyo Ghost
It really annoys me how badly written this is because Murphy is killing it, but damn, the writing is soooo shitty

>>78294452
sean murphy is on par with the artists for 8house but otherwise nope

>>78294452
>We Stand on Guard
Are you brain dead?

>>78293742
Birthright
Southern Bastards
Descender

>>78294498
You should know by now I'm listing the image comics I hate

>>78294256
Naw dawg, the singles club is still a good read.

>>78293742
Manifest Destiny
Manhattan Projects
Tokyo Ghost
Low
Nailbiter
The Autumnlands
Invisible Republic
Stray Bullets
Drifter
Limbo
Mythic
Nameless
Pisces Assuming that's still ongoing
The Humans
Rumble
8House was cool, but I was really only interested in the first story they started, and even then I wasn't sure it would grab me too much.

>>78294525
>Birthright

artistically: no
in terms of writing: possibly

i will give you this

Faggot!

Nailbiter is the superior Williamson book

>>78294605

Southern Bastards art is perfect for the book

>>78294159

>Calling McNeil a bad artist.

Go to your room and think about what you've done.

>>78294595
The issue with 8house is the huge gaps to finish a story. Island is similar but it's like every 4 issues for a new chapter in a story. For 8house it's like half a year to get back to arclight. Mirror would run uninterrupted. Yorris has like a 4 month delay. It's just a really frustrating schedule

>>78294282
I liked 7 Soldiers...

Southern Bastards' art is well colored but it has sloppy panelling (and the worst part is that he can do great panelling the few times he tries to) and he is basically shit at drawing textures but tries to do it anyway by putting a load of terrible lines all over the floors and walls

>>78294713
he looks like some of the later issues of serenity tbqh and anybody who abuses colored void backgrounds like that without a good reason goes on my shit list

>>78294799

that was an example of good panelling btw, heres some of his sloppy shit panelling found on most pages

I dropped Southern Bastards after issue four. Jason Aaron is a retard

>>78294799
>Carla Speed McNeil
>He
What kind of parents do you know that name their son Carla? Also I think this is one of the first times she has a longer running series in color. She usually works in just black and white.

>>78294817
>>78294950
why the fuck am i expected to remember the name of an artist who i thought was forgettable and shit

here is the monstrosity they published in issue 2 btw

>>78295046
>that second panel
this guy should just do backgrounds

>>78295046
You know Brandon loves McNeil right? He raves about Finder and has a con story about a girl saying she loved how he drew women and that she would practice drawing women with his style and his response was directing her to McNeil's table so she could learn from her.

>>78295075
Please don't tell me those gray blotches are native to the comic.

>>78295119
its stylized, hes consistent with the way he draws people.

>>78295147
even if shes done good stuff in the past, no mercy has shit art. and desu Brandon is hardly infallible, that girl doing the casino story in Island is SHIT

>>78295191
they are in both the comixology version and my physical version

>>78295046
I've never read this, is it about an alternate reality where humans evolve into giraffes?

>>78295279
>Amy Clare is shit
Naw man, she's like one of the best dudes to come out from Island.

>>78295434
not at all, every other comic in #3 is better except for that shitty one by the gone home person

The intro comic is the best thing in Island yet, convinced me to buy his graphic novel.

You 8house stans are really obnoxious, if the book was so good if wouldn't be getting cancelled now would it?

Also Marian Churchland,Brandon and many of the artists in the book kinda shit desu.

>>78296328
dumb frogposter

>>78296328
>if the book was so good if wouldn't be getting cancelled now would it?
he made the mistake of publishing at image, image is only viable if youre publishing a tv pitch that you intend to cancel after the first two arcs if it doesnt get picked up.

>>78296541
>he made the mistake of publishing at image, image is only viable if youre publishing a tv pitch that you intend to cancel after the first two arcs if it doesnt get picked up.

Which other alternative publishers could sustain the book?

>>78296561
he should have just produced OGNs, if he had done that through Image it would have worked but I bet other publishers who can get him in the bookshops would have also been interested in those desu (King City is already in bookshops because he did it through a better publisher).

he also should have published island with fantagraphics desu although i dont know how hard it is to get your foot in the door there

>>78296652
>King City is already in bookshops because he did it through a better publisher

Wasn't it initially through Tokyopop which had serious problems causing rights limbo and then needed Eric Stephenson from Image to step in and co-publish it or something? Did it move somewhere or what?

>>78296818
nvm i thought it was with oni but i was getting confused between king city and multiple warheads

either way he should have released OGNs and gone to a smaller publisher if he really wanted to do issues first instead of trying to do a mass-market ongoing with Image

wow i always assumed they considered the art more when publishing stuff, im sure he could have gone to D&Q then. They would probably give him nice hardcovers and everything.

>>78296846
Holy shit; that place is really pretentious.

>>78297307
It sounds like it. But really, they're not too adverse to publishing other stuff but usually because it has some kind of historical context (Barks' Duck stuff, Prince Valiant, Peanuts, Pogo). It's just a restriction on new creators.

>>78294849
But that's not bad, it's just paneling. Basically once you get standard paneling down you can do whatever the fuck you want with it long as it looks good. Which this does.

You haven't seen bad paneling have you?

its sloppy and would look 10x better without the panels pointlessly touching the edge. pretty clear he had no idea what to do with that page, it looks like he honestly just started drawing in the top left and worked his way to the bottom right.

Here's some more good panelling from him.
