Is Midnighter any good? From what I understand he is gay Punisher

His New 52 run is enjoyable

>more psychotic

I-i'm scared.

>>80966573
Yeah, he's pretty great.

Read his current run by Steve Orlando, first 9 issues of his 2006 solo and The Authority by Ellis.

>>80966573
More like Gay Batman.

He's really likable. He enjoys what he does and he's usually pitted against whoever deserves it.

>>80966573
>From what I understand he is gay Punisher except even more psychotic
Then you don't understand at all.

>>80966573
>Is he likeable?
He's lovable

he's a qt

The most likeable.

>>80966648
This guy knows what he's talking about.

He was from the Wildstorm universe before DC decided to amalgamate their universes all into one.

He's a smug shitlord but the stories are interesting and his back-and-forth with Dick makes me smile.

midnighter had the coolest name, costume, and catchphrase/catchparagraph

real shame that him and apollo are shameless rip offs of the worlds finest duo

I wouldn't say Psychotic.he's... passionate about his job.

Do they go overboard with his gayness to the point where they have to mention it every panel? Or do they do they do the opposite and only have token gay moments to remind you about his sexuality?

>>80970432
He fucks a new guy almost every issue. It's funny, though.

>>80966573
It's really good
>>80966712
Changing his hair does bother me though, I guess it's not a big deal. But it bother me.

>>80966657
do you mean actually lovable or 4chan "Kills indiscriminately and is an asshole to everyone he meets (they still love him because he's indispensable) therefore meets my beta revenge fantasies" lovable?

because everything I've seen seems more the second one

>>80970432
They could spare me the sight of him fucking kissing other guys and his haircut is pretty faggy but other than that no he is just a regular badass.

>>80970646
no he's actually lovable

he's a family man who loves his job

>>80970646
he put a girl in jail for the crime she comitted but at the same time said she did the right thing the wrong way he isn't Punisher who goes full rip and tear mode constantly he only wrecks people who really are asking for it

I really liked Midnighter in The Authority. But MAN did DC nerf the fuck out of him.

It's almost like you're a moron.

>>80966573

Yeah but him being gay makes him have this sensitive side too that really balances him out. Like he's fucking great with kids and they love him.

I'm just going throw it out there. Since comics and their derivatives are so infested with SJWs and people who claim to care so much about gay people why can't we use Midnighter way more? Instead of making other established characters gay, just use Apollo and Midnighter if you want a gay character so much.

Midnighter especially just kind of fits in anywhere.

>>80970432

Well at least in The Authority him and Apollo were a couple so they'd have cute couple moments in between being bad-ass. It was fun. I'm straight as fuck too.

This is why I root for them so much. It's like the best example of a fictional gay character that's just... gay. They aren't really a soapbox, they aren't oversexualized or weird about it.

>>80973112
Absolutely.

isn't he raised by space owls in the DCU?

>>80970627

Wildstorm Midnighter went through like seven different hairstyles/colors.

>>80973252

Oh god, this fucking issue...

A lotta people seem to like the new Midnighter comic, but it really doesn't do anything one tenth as interesting as Ennis' run.

I will never not enjoy watching Midnight kick/punch people's heads off.

Could it possibly be because DC comics editorial and writing staff would prefer to portray the character as more reserved and in far less gratuitous situations? No. No that can't be it. DC lives on the edge and currently hosts all kinds of wonderful writing and artistic talent.

>>80973591
Aw shit, this one's my favorite of the old solo if not any middy solo

>>80966573
He looks ugly

>>80973568
I think Ennis had less creative restrictions. Constantine is in the same boat. They're kind of entertaining within their new limits.

>>80973697
"You've smoked your last pole"

Award winning dialog there.

>>80973568
I like the new solo's art a lot better than what Ennis had. The story itself is pretty paint by the numbers and is pushed to the side in favor of violence and smug one-liners but I think Orlando gets Midnighter better than Ennis (at least during the solo, I liked the Midnighter Ennis wrote in Kev better).

>>80973749

I know taste in art is purely subjective, but Glenn Fabry's a tough as shit act to follow, man.

>>80973702

I'll say that the new Midnighter is more entertaining than Constantine: The Hellblazer is. The latter is definitely a step-up from the first New 52 solo they did, but it still feels a bit too safe for my tastes.

That's really what bugged me the most about, what was it, wave 2 or three of the New 52 rollouts: The fact that they really scaled back the Vertigo line. Like, even more than they already had.

>>80973020
>just use Apollo and Midnighter if you want a gay character so much.

That would mean making Apollo an actual character and we can't have that, anon.

That can't be a word.

>>80966648
>>80966712
I would love to read the new Midnighter book, except the poser-traced art is very offputting.

>>80967146
It started to improve when they finally hired real writers like Alan Moore, Warren Ellis, Ed Brubaker...etc.

>>80971585
After all the shit Ennis gave the Authority in the Kev minis, it was real suprising how likeable his Midnighter was.

>>80974996

I was asking if they had a stance in the middle, in case you misunderstood my post. Usually, writers either go overboard trying to prove to you that the character is gay by making every scene as gay as possible, or they basically "forget" the character is gay, and throw in token gay scenes.

> Look at what you wrote, and then tell me the SJWs don't have a point when they complain about lack of representativeness

If the SJWs point is based around intentional misunderstanding of statements so that they can have something to bitch about, then I'll say that they don't have a point.

Even though they do. There really aren't enough well-portrayed gay characters

>>80977006
if you understand what its trying to convey, its a word.

>>80966573
Is Ellis writing? If not, then probably no.

>>80973240
It's been great up to this point, but I have to admit I did balk about the baddie not being a minority. Like they just refused to paint anyone who had suffered gay, much less a Jew. Not to mention, I'm not sure why Midnighter was so happy about the bisexual future. Thanks for posting though, this is the first Midnighter I've read and he's pretty great.

>>80966573
Is Orlando writing? If not then probably not.

>>80966655
Then explain it to him, sourpuss

>>80978767>>80978767
I dont mind it since its got good colouring and uses interesting panelling but i dont blame you.

You should check out the new ongoing, it's very fun.

Tom Hardy as Midnighter when

Do you think it's possible DC will ever re-release the original Midnighter solo like they did with The Authority?

The original trades appear to lack issues 8 & 9.

I like Orlando's solo more than Ennis', I think. They're both really fun, but Orlando fleshes him out more as a character.

>>80970432
The mention it much less than they mention Batman's sexuality so it's really a non-issue except his romantic support is a dude

>>80973020
>still bitching about SJWs in 2016

grow up, manlet

>>80982026
Just judging by the content in the thread, random mooks can't go a few panels without calling him a fuccboi. Distasteful desu senpai

>>80982158
That's just how Ennis rolls. Seriously though, read the new ongoing by Orlando, I personally find it much better.

>>80982158
That's really only in this particular solo. In the current solo it's almost never mentioned (by people who aren't Midnighter or his love interests") and in The Authority I think there are three or four mentions. Usually the only indicator that he's gay is that his love interest is Apollo.

>>80966573
He's fantastic and Orlando's series is one of DC's highlights

>>80970432
No, he's actually just a well-written character who happens to fuck dudes

>>80973020
>comics and their derivatives are so infested with SJWs and people who claim to care so much about gay people
Except these people don't actually buy comics.
Midnighter sells like shit and it drives me furious, because people whine about representation all the time, yet never support the books that offer it, even when they're as great as Middie's new solo.

>>80973568
As far as writing Middie goes, Orlando's the best thing that happened to the charcater since Ennis

>>80973639
Apollo will be in Middie's next issue

>>80982843
>in Middie's next issue
Next and final issue. Let's hope it actually leads to something and doesn't end on more emotional distance between them.

You can't, considering the reason he left Apollo was that Apollo was literally too good for him.
