Is The Question as based in his comics as he is in JLU?

I think he was at his best in JLU, but yeah.

I didn't like the DCAU portrayal that much, but the comics are seriously some of the best DC has ever put out.

>>87731968
>He hasn't read O'Neil's Question
Fuck off casual, that's required reading.

>>87731968
It's good but he's an entirely different character from this cartoon portrayal.

Man, /co/ used to love this guy back in the day.

I think his death and bizarre usage in Nu52 might have hurt his visibility, though.

JLU Question does not reach the minimum base level compared to base O´Neill`s Question

>>87731968
Every major version of The Question is vastly different from the last. The original was pure Objectivist Ditko, O'Neil's was 80s urban noir meets Zen mysticism and JLU's was conspiracy theorist moe blob Jeffrey Combs.

Yes, but in a very different way. He's much more human, fallible and three-dimensional. Plus, it helps that his 80s run under Denny O'Neil is one of the absolute best things DC has ever published.

>>87732171
Renee's disappointing time in his shoes also didn't help.

>still no fucking vol. 1 reprint
Is DC run by evil demons?

>>87732356
I loved Montoya back in GCPD. Her time as Question felt like the death of two characters.

The thing you'll learn as you read more comics is that the DCAU wasn't bad but it's generally less than ideal. Not fair to it to compare those portrayals to comics when there's just not enough time to flesh out most characters outside of their own series.

>>87732387
Didn't they start putting it up on digital? Might get a reprint soon.

Pipeline was pretty cool...until it got to the third act and ended up being more magic Vandal Savage bullshit from the Final Crisis tie-in.
No idea what Rucka was thinking.

What killed me about Renee was that I loved the character, loved Gotham Central, loved the way she took the mantle, but once she did she hardly ever seemed to get a chance to do some actual gritty urban crime stuff.
She always seemed to be dealing with the fallout of bigger events and getting involved with the Crime Bible and Cain and later Vandal Savage... I imagine Rucka probably didn't want to retread his (and O'Neil's) steps by putting her back in the streets, but it was still annoying to have every single story end up in yet another globe-trotting brutal cult adventure.

Careful now, you might get cartoonfags on your ass once again.

It was just a wasted opportunity through and through.

The only person in the entire world who liked the direction was Rucka himself.

Way I see it, it may have been two things:
A) Rucka didn't want to do another crime series in the DCU.
B) DC in general just didn't want a gritty street-level crime book in the early 2010s.
Either way it was a waste, yeah.

>>87732548
There are people who do not acknowledge this?

>>87732548
let them come

The weird thing is that he was simultaneously doing magical crime shit with Batwoman and it was working wonderfully.

But those aspects of Renee's stories were just so laaaaaame.

He used to be very based, but then time and other writers watered him down.

JLU was pretty damn fine portrayal of a based Question.

He is Rorschach tier Objectivist that mixes the right amount of alex jones crazy with vigilence

I think it's because Kate from the get-go was doing magical crime shit, being targeted by the Crime Bible guys and such. And once Elegy started, having JH Williams III on art meant it always had a very tangible, fantastical quality to it.
Meanwhile, Renee was a character who started in the streets, who took on the mantle of a character who never left the streets, and with the most minor of slow burns suddenly she was punching Vandal Savage and whatnot. The transition just didn't work. And maybe it could've worked with more time and more arcs, but Pipeline going rrright back to it didn't help.

He's got a few comics. Original Charlton, by Ditko so the art is gorgeous, but some of the writing is a bit off putting. There's a bit of it in 52 Companion, more on 52 in a bit.

Then there's O'Neil's run, pretty much the character's definitive run. It's an interesting mend of Film noir, martial arts and Zen Buddhism.

It's pretty nuts. Finally there's 52 the year long story told from the PoV of a number of different characters including Vic Sage and Renee Montoya, which you've really got to read for yourself if you get the chance, just explaining it would either spoil it or do not do the story justice.

I don't like Montoya as Question. She deserves to be confined to the dustbin
