One issue in, I'm already seeing the value of a 4chan pass. I miss letter/number captchas.

SO FUCKING EDGY. How can anyone like this shit?

As "Superman goes insane" stories go, it's not bad. Yes, some things are overly edgy, but really, if Superman snaps, he is going to grill a LOT of people.

I hate edgy stuff too but this was actually pretty good once I read it.

If you want something godawful and edgy then I recommend Supergod.

Yeah, Mark Waid is usually a solid writer, and these two series were varying degrees of good. (Though, ironically, I think he ends up doing exactly what Grant Morrison said this series proves he doesn't always do.)

And I liked Supergod. It wasn't the strongest of Ellis's books, but it wasn't a bad little story.

THANK YOU BASED OP!

Yeah, I broke down and got that after issue 2. So, I will probably be storytiming more things to justify getting it.

>>83367094
It was stupidly edgy, misanthropic, I hated it, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Nnnnnot the brightest move there.

i think you can opt into those type of captchas in settings

I love Warren Ellis, so my opinion is a bit biased, but I always thought even his bad work was still better than a lot of writers out there.

Maybe I'll do Planetary or Global Frequency as the next storytime.

>>83367177
Careful, that's how I ended up doing the entire Ultimate Universe

>>83367210
Ellis is one of my favorite writers and I really enjoyed Supergod as well as No Hero, but I felt Black Gas 2 by him was one of the worst things I've ever read because of those descriptors you listed, so be sure to stay the fuck away from that series. Even if you don't like the themes, you can at least say Supergod had some interesting designs, right? Well Black Gas has jack shit going for it.

>>83367274
Both excellent choices, I'd go with Global Frequency because I don't hear it brought up as much here as the former and it'll be easier since its shorter and the stories are self contained for the most part.

I don't think I'd ever heard of Blackgas until just now. I'll have to look that up.

And it's a shame Global Frequency didn't get a TV series. Then again, TV probably would've watered it down considerably.

>>83367443
With a design like a super with the ability to use human bodies to create horrific machines out of writhing thinking people or a mushroom super who just wanders around releasing spores that make humans masturbate and mutilate themselves into they turn into a horrific blob of fungus covered in human faces I'm going to say that falls into the stupidly edgy and misanthropic catagory.

Also that nihilistic precognotist seemed like a run of the mill nihilistic atheist stereotype.

Misanthropic, maybe, but I think it was edgy with a point - namely, that people that far beyond what we would call human are NOT going to have human motives, desires, or ultimately, human forms.

>>83367673
Like I said, stupidly edgy and misanthropic. Any such message could have been achieved been done without the shit I've listed off. It's a horror comic that hates humans. Nuff said.

I like this twist on the Fortress of Solitude. You can trek to just about any spot in the Arctic or Antarctic, but we don't have lava-diving suits yet.

>>83367274
Plz do the Planetary crossover. I love those.

I'm glad they explained that the Plutonium was actually inherently insane rather than trying to argue that if you have super powers then you will ultimately try to eradicate humanity.

Really, all of Planetary is pretty great. One of the major deconstructions of superhero comics, while still being a good superhero comic in its own right.

Ya know, I hope people are actually reading this. I just realized I'm storytiming in the middle of the night, because I have the sleep habits of an owl with a drug problem.

There are absolutely no homoerotic undertones to this page that will be explored later. Really.

>>83368996
>Some five-year-old flip you off?
I like that line. It really emphasizes nothing justifies what the Plutonian has done.

>>83369242
Homoerotic? You know damn well what is homoerotic about this comic and it isn't that relationship. That relationship was closer to father and son.

Bah, I miscalculated the images by a few. Noob storytime fail.

Hey, managed to squeeze it in after all! The storytime continues over here: >>83369935

Saving bump.

>>83369145
I'm reading as well. Thanks.

>>83369470
Worked well tho

>>83365887

Just read this a couple of months ago, and it's high-tier as shit.

Incorruptible is more muddled and doesn't quite deliver on its potential though.

Also Waid might want to talk to someone about his weird sex stuff.

>>83374316
What is incorruptible about?

>>83374542

The opposite concept of Irredeemable. One of the worst super-criminals sees Plutonian going crazy, and decides to step up and take his place, without having any idea how to be a hero.

>>83374571
Sounds like an amazing premise, what goes wrong ?

>>83375089
The premise is taken too literally, and its scale isn't as large.

I wish these would get a proper tpb release. Those thin ones stuck.

>>83375178

He never really knows what he wants to do with the idea. The flip is a little too easy, and not enough attention is paid to his past crimes until way too late in the book. Max kind of goes from brush fire to brush fire without growing much as a character. There's some good ideas in it, but they never really cohere into an overall great story.

It is, however, a good bit of fun.

>>83365887
Thanks anon. Incorruptible is amazing

>>83374316
What sex stuff?

>>83366949
He cucked himself?

>>83368573
Tony is quite the creep.

>>83369589
Didn't Cary pay attention at all?

Salvaging bump - OP, never rely on people telling you their reading it in the here and now for your morale, those of us who show up later and binge the whole thing appreciate it rather sincerely.

Bump to read

>>83368996
what exactly are scylla and cary's powers?
