Also, why is Betty such a slut?

Just wait for the new movie, you'll probably love it.

>>85071336
>the new movie
Didn't realize they were making a new one.
>you'll probably love it.
And now I'm worried.

>>85071408
Jesus, why did I look?
>The new take keeps the story in a period setting and offers a fresh view on the characters. Set six years after the original Rocketeer and after Secord has vanished while fighting the Nazis, an unlikely new hero emerges: a young African–American female pilot, who takes up the mantle of Rocketeer in an attempt to stop an ambitious and corrupt rocket scientist from stealing jetpack technology in what could prove to be a turning point in the Cold War.

At least the set up looks like it can work. They actually bothered to give a reason why there was a girl now rather than just lazily replacing the original and pretending it never existed.

>>85071470
>has vanished while fighting the Nazis
I mean, I can't expect them to get anything else right, but wasn't Cliff in the Pacific theater during the war?

is this going to be the ghostbusters all over again?

>>85070778
Not OP, only read the original mini. Does she carry on banging other men in the other series?

>>85071730
Well the movie and the comic should really be considered different continuities, there are a lot of differences between the two.

>>85070747
Read the new one that's coming out this summer: How Latisha Hot Her Rocket On, based on the novel The Rocketeer, by Sapphire.

Tom Strong
The Shadow
Doc Savage
Justice Inc.
Xenozoic Tales kind of has that feel
Maybe old EC comics

>>85075584
No because they're not retconning the old film, its building off of the established world of the rocketeer.
I'm actually intrigued with how they're going to handle her in this point of history. Can't wait

>>85071470
This can only feel disrespectful to Dave Steven's original work. I mean, the entire point of the Rocketeer is that its an homage to the pulpy classics of yesteryear where every villain was a Nazi spy and all a hero needed was a mask and a good right hook. Introducing an African american women as the new protagonist and setting the entire thing during the cold war shows it has no reverence for the franchise nor any understanding in the influences of the original movie/comic

>>85075584
They're not pretending that the original never existed and the description seems to suggest that both the original and the new girl will be used.
Actually sounds intriguing so far

>>85081540
Is there really that big of a difference if they use commie spies rather than nazi spies?

>>85080356
Exactly. Cliff Secord dissappears and I guess she finds one of the replacements that Peevy developed but never got to test. Maybe if this goes into the fifties then it'll be atomic.

>>85081723
Its not that they're commies, its the fact that they changed them to commies

>>85072373
>never a 3A Rocketeer

Sad.

>>85081791
But that's the way pulp evolved as well. Germany became USSR and they went from Nazis to KGB.

Really it's fine.

>>85081931
But that isn't the Rocketeer. This has much to do with the Rocketeer as something like Batman Forever has to do with Batman

>>85070747

I would also recommend Warren Ellis's Ignition City. Short run, only 5 issues, but 5 issues of the best pulpy cheesy rockets-and-rayguns you love.

Similarly, Ellis's Planetary. Not solely pulp, but many things which have fit into that same place in culture. Silver Age comic books, 50s monster movies (American and Japanese), 60's spy films, and the like. Even features direct homages to Doc Savage, G-8, The Shadow, and others.

>>85077175
She never bangs anyone, but she's still an attention whore, which makes Cliff furious.

>>85070747
Why were his pants so poofy?

>>85085844
They were jodhpurs. They allowed some movement for thighs and hips in the saddle because they didn't have stretchy pants back in the day. It also allowed some air flow to cool the legs.

>>85070747
The Shadow Strikes! will be a good read for you. (Don't read DC's other Shadow book. I haven't read the Dynamite stuff, so I can't speak on the quality of that.)

Ignition City, as suggested above, is also entertaining.

Sandman Mystery Theatre, as suggested above, is fantastic.

Masks and Mobsters was pretty good, at least before I kinda drifted away from it. 1930s-era mafia story where superheroes are just then getting started.

JLA: The Golden Age.

The Phantom is still a classic for a reason.

Atomic Robo and Hellboy are, of course, modern pulp.

There's some company that I can't remember the name of, but they're taking a bunch of the old Gold Key heroes and doing new stories with them as a team and solo tales. Flash Gordon, the Phantom, Prince Valiant, Mandrake the Magician, Lothar, etc. Very worth the read.

If you don't mind radio, I definitely suggest the Superman and Green Hornet radio serials. I'm less fond of the Shadow, since I prefer the book version, but it's still a fun listen. Blue Beetle's also somewhat entertaining, though a bit low-budget.

For books, the Doc Savage novels still stand up to modern standards. They're tense, exciting, though sometimes awkwardly racist and the science can sometimes be. Uh. A thing. (In one of the novels they find themselves up against T-Rexes that get around like kangaroos.) They're coming out with regular releases of new Doc Savage novels now, and those are fantastic too. Still set in the 30s.

Also for books, there's The Green Hornet Chronicles/Casefiles/Still At Large, a trilogy of short story anthologies based on the 60s show. Less pulp, I know, but still absolutely fantastic.

>>85070747
What does one start with with Rocketeer or Hellboy for that matter, both look interesting and I've only ever seen the movies.

>>85088453
The beginning.

>>85088453
There's not a lot of history to the comics. There's only one or two series. Just pick up The Rocketeer #1 or the TPB that IDW put out and you're good.

With Hellboy, just start at Hellboy #1.
