You have one minute to find me a comic that is more impenetrable than this.

Seriously. Try it.
>>
>>90448814
Define 'impenetrable' in this context.
>>
>>90448879
You're gonna force me to do this aren't you?
You know what? Fuck it. Let's storytime the first issue.

That was the first issue of this trip.

What dya think?

...
I-
w-
help.
>>
>>90449918
I double dare all of /co/ to tell me with a straight face they understood this issue on the first go.

This is a twelve miniseries we're talking about that gives Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman and Grant Morrison the dry heaves.

I am this fucking close to punishing all of you to the entirety of this thing.
>>
>>90448945
Djama elfnaa does not mean "square of the dead".
>>
>>90450250
It says Djema El Fna'a
>>
>>90450414
It's a transliteration from Arabic, it can be spelled differently.
But the actual translation isn't "square of the dead"
>>
>>90450610
So what is it?
>>
>>90450656
It's a public square in Marakesh. The name literally means "The courtyard mosque".
>>
>>90450034
I'm scared, OP.
I'm frightened.
What'd Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, and Grant Morrison say about it?
>>
>>90450034
>This is a twelve miniseries we're talking about that gives Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman and Grant Morrison the dry heaves.

Bullshit, more like they'd read it and understand it since definitely Moore and Morrison were inspired by Moorcock.
>>
>>90450941
>>90451014

>What'd Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, and Grant Morrison say about it?
Well nothing. I'm exaggerating but this is still a really bizarre read.

Gonna have a later diner and i might storytime part of it.
>>
>>90448814
I have to wonder if maybe this made a lot more sense if you were fully read on Moorcock.
>>
>>90451192
I think it does if you're aware of two other series.
Blood/War amongst the angels and Von Bek.
>>
>>90451435

Writing that can't stop telling me how awesome it thinks it is, full of hyperbole about The Amazing Central Character and telling far more than it shows. People literally paid money to read novels by this prick?

"You know me?" "No, England is teeming with white-haired albinos wielding rune-encrusted magical swords sir, it were an educated guess."

Arent they separate stories within his multiverse? Ive been reading each like an anthology and each makes sense that way.
>>
>>90453613
>>90453614
Problem is the series doesn't take almost any time to dump proper exposition.
I know that the Von Beks have a much deeper connection than what's being let on but does your average reader know that?
So yeah. Point still stands.

Yes and no. It sorta comes together at the end.

I knew i picked the right series to storytime.
As much as i love Moorcock and most of his series(War Hound and the World's Pain might be his magnum opus imo) this comic is brilliantly silly enough to illicit reaction from any cursory glance.
>>
>>90448814
Normally I'd praise anyone for storytiming but this is crap, OP.
When we need a storytime of pain we'll let you know.

This reads like bad Claremont with every character either talking in fake slang, exposition dumps or both. Are you proud to be inflicting this on us? Is this funny to you, OP?

The reaction certainly is.

No you don't understand, this is clever because it references things like Mornington Crescent. Let OP continue to spread his buttcheeks wide and dump this on us unsophisticated folk so we can be as cultured as he.

Good or ill, it's still an opinion and i'm happy that people can come together and enjoy a story whether to enjoy it for its merits or to mock it for its lack of said merits.
It's all good for the bump.

Thanks OP.

This is gonna be the last issue for the night since it's already close to 1 AM here.

>>
>>90455275
>>
>>90448814
ah yes, moorcock's work

probably the closest thing to super hero continuity outside of comics

honestly i'm, not sure if I like the concept of the eternal champion. i'd have preferred each story to be it's own thing.
>>
>>90455308
>>
>>90455344
>>90455326
There are times that i hoped this was true but then again, we wouldn't have the Dragon in the Sword or Sailor on the Seas of Fate. Or this batshit lunacy i'm storytiming so it's a double edge sword.
>>
>>90448879
>impenetrable
In this context, knowing a great deal about the work of author Michael Moorcock (which is already really hard to read and full of a lot of purple prose), and then trying to make sense of what is actually happening in this comic.
>>
>>90455380
>>
>>90455412
We're at the halfway point now peeps.
Will storytime the rest tomorrow.

Hope you join along.
