Man, thinking about it, if Tom wrote Spider-Man, every single issue would be Kraven's Last Hunt.

>what scott and greg did is probably the best run in the history of the character

>>81198569
Someone ask Tom King if he'll introduce Bill Wilson into his Batman run.

>>81197742
You're not kidding, OP.
>I feel like sometimes I succeeded and sometimes I didn't...umm.
>hello darkness my old friend

Though I think it's funny that he had the uncomfortable neck scratch when he was praising Snyder's run but was 100% selling it when he thanked ComicVine at the end.

>>81197899
shush

I want to hug King

>>81197742
How long until King shoots up DC headquarters?

>>81201197
His meme magic will give us the best Batman ever

>>81197742
>tom "every character's a spy cuz i was a spy" king

Batmab is ruined.

>>81204212
You were right, /co/. You hate King now that he's popular.

>>81204456
It's coming, dude.

>>81198579
He's like, 200% lying. Look at how fucking uncomfortable he is while saying it.

>>81198579
>>81204888
>h'he's lying! No one likes what I don't like! No one!

>>81204212
Grayson is a spy comic
Sheriff of babylon is a cop comic but also a post-colonialism comic
Omega Men is a terrorism comic

Theres a big distinction between each of them

>>81204456
>>81204502
THE TURN

>>81205219
And Batman is a comic about gazing into the abyss and not blinking.

It fits.

Also Holy shit Tom King is literally Houroni Kenshin

>>81198474
It was storytimed earlier today. It's really good.

>>81204212
Nigga have you read Vision?

>>81197742
The benefit of being in the CIA is you can say everything is classified meanwhile this dude probably sat behind a computer.

>>81209053
I guess we'll never know.

>>81209118
He great writer nonetheless. It's just that he mentions he was in the CIA in the first five minutes in every video I've seen. We get it, dude. You're awesome.

I'd probably do the same.

>>81209265
He may be psycholigcally wrapped up in it

>New Batman writer is CIA
>CIA
Oh no. Not like this.

>>81197742

>I head to get pretty close to the horrors of the world but not become a horror myself and sometimes I failed
>and sometimes I failed

What did he mean by this?

>>81212793
He did some fucked up cia shit.

Probabaly killed, Afghanistan during the war was...jesus fuck is was fucked. My cousin went there and came back...broken.

>>81212722
You best believe meme magic is real son!

>>81197742

I met him at a comic signing for Batman day last year, really nice guy in real life. Hard to think of him being in that kind of scenario.

>>81212722
If Bane shows up in this book I'm going to completely lose my shit. /tv/ has grown too powerful.

>>81215334
He seems like really nice.

Like too...nice.

As if he was on purpose submitting his darker impulses

>>81215291
meme magic is called the hypercrisis around these parts

>>81208872
Link?

>>81217470

There's an archive page you know, http://boards.4chan.org/co/archive
>>81191110

>>81217490
I didn't. I have never actually used 4chan outside of Clover. I searched desustorage and didn't find it. Thanks anon. Now I just need someone to storytime Omega Men and I'll have read all of his work

>>81217549
well I guess there's my good deed for today, teach a man to fish and all

>>81197742
Was he an actual field agent? or was he tech support? because I don't thinks its smart to broadcast that he is an ex-field agent or maybe i watched too many spy movies. In basic training they emphasize you not broadcasting that you're military.

>>81217742
He was in afghanistan and he was cia. thats all that was cleared.

Oh and also the op quote

>>81217742
From what I've heard in interviews, I think he was a counterterrorism operations officer

Is Tom King one of the only writers/artists to have worked in a government agency? I can't seem to think of any others off the top of my head.

>>81218334
Probably. It's a big part of his allure aside from his GREAT writing

>>81209265
Well he follows "write what you know"
And he has a unique experience that he draws upon in some way for every ongoing he's written so far except for Vision I think

>>81218431
Doesn't Vision takes place in the Maryland/DC area?

>>81218538
I think so.

>>81204932
He clearly is just playing up Snyder's run since that's who he's following and it's generally a well liked run on the character. There's no way he actually think it's the best run the character has ever had with how versed he seems to be in Batman lore.
