Just like any good Metabaron

Is this before Watchmen?
>>86130494
The cover painting says '82, so 4 years pre-Watchmen.
Why...it's the last chapter of the black and white origin story. Any first time Nexus readers around?

>>86130494
Yeah this is '82. I almost brought up Watchmen and etc in that sequence because Nexus is a really great melange of everything that was in the scifi/fantasy/adventure zeitgeist of the 70s and 80s
>>86130574
Wow. Am I missing a scene that both of them take inspiration from, or is this just something Moore 100% had to have read?
>>86130601
The "godhero creates beauty on a barren planet surface" idea can't have originated with either of them, and it's unfortunate that the imagery has become so closely linked to Watchmen.
>>86130664
I can't think of any other scene so specifically like that one but the one in Moore's Watchmen, though, and if this came first...
>>86130694
I'm not at all an expert, but when you give a character god-powers, it seems like a pretty logical extension to put them up against a "blank slate" world at some point. Moore very well could have been influenced by this, or we just have a case of concurrent evolution.
heads. heads. time for heads. I love the heads.

>Lynch the freak
Yeah I was a little surprised at how casually brutal that sequence was.
>>86131185
>Hey, Willie! Sorry for treating you like shit your entire life and trying to lynch you, here's some ice cream! We're cool, right?
Having never done a two month storytime before, I'm charting things out...and October is gonna be pretty cool if we make it that far. That Marvel stuff planned after Plastic Man is not set in stone at all, and neither is They're Not Like Us.

Looking forward to it OP
bumping for others.

>Pleeze let me die
Always makes me shift about uncomfortably when somebody in a Cole written story expresses suicidal tendencies.
Like, I can't help but think it was a cry for help, or a way for the poor sap to vent.
This is a really neat idea OP
Quick question regarding storytimes, seems like this would be the best place to ask it since there's a variety of stuff being posted:
When you guys storytime an issue, do you just extract the cbr file and post the images individually, or do you have a program that automatically posts them? Thinking about doing one of my own but I'm just wondering if there's a best way of doing it.
>>86143026
I think most people use 4chanx
>>86144152
>>86143026
Yeah. Browser extensions and scripts. 4chanx has image dump features.
