Are we doing this again this year or is that dead now

>>92721152
We can never have fun again

>>92721152
Yeah, we are. I'll make sure of it.

I don't want to do the exact same comics though, that would be boring.

>>92723591
Some of these comics have been consistently posted for almost a decade, either nobody is bored of them or nobody can think of newer shit.

>>92723591
Throw in Avengers: The Crossing this year.
That'd be pretty awesome to see. Maybe Spider-Man: Chapter One by Byrne, too.
And there's a hell of a lot of modern stuff that makes the cut that could be interspersed into a weekend of storytimes.

>>92723646
>>92723652
We have newer stuff like Civil War II and America. Not doing The Crossing was a crime.

There's also Earth 2: World's End but that shit is loooooooong

I still say run some into mosaic maker to make images that simultaneous story time pages from multiple comics. Image reading Trouble and Unfunnies at the same time.

Would Squirrel Girl work for this or is that just mediocre?

>>92721152
Is Civil War really as bad as all that?

I'll do it like any other year if I can, and like always I need DC books to storytime. Tired of doing Act of God and Created Equal (as hilarious as they are). Planning to do Earth 2: World's End

I'm surprised by the lack of Chuck Austen X-Men.

>>92728342
You can only do so much in a single weekend.

>>92727057
Only the art is trash, the story is alright.
There's worse stuff out there.

>>92728024
I did CW/Frontlines last year, and I'm currently considering what to do this year.

Should it be kept a surprise, or should it be planned out? I like the notion of a horrible, horrible potluck.

>>92723646
>>92723693
>>92723591
Well I mean there's always room for the classics. There are always new users on the board every year.

> comic books only
No wonder you've become jaded.

This is pain. And unlike Kit & Kay Boodle you can storytime it without going to /aco/.

>>92729704
>comic books only

This is /co/ anon. It's kind of our thing if you didn't know.

>>92729749
This is /co/ anon, we discuss webcomics too if you didn't know.

Someone needs to do Batman Odyssey

Holy shit what a treat that'd be

>>92729854
this but only as the last thing since it's more mindfuck than punishment and will be appreciated better

>>92729854
That's more insanity than pain though

>>92729854
Odyssey isn't a storytime of pain. It's a national treasure.

>>92723693

Civil War II was bad, but I don't know if it's SoP levels of bad. America is going to be a SoP classic though, I can tell.

>>92727171

Again, I disagree. The problem with Civil War was what it inspired, not the event itself. Compared to a lot of other stuff on the list, it's just a sub-par Marvel event. It's certainly better than Civil War II, I can say that much.

>>92728024

Death of the Family was another story that was too good for SoP status. Again, it's miles better than Civil War or Civil War II, partially BECAUSE it didn't really mean anything in the long run.

>>92729704
>>92729812

Then hooo boy, does /doag/ have some story arcs they'd love to do. Everyone kinda knows about the Toedad arc, but we've since had Mary vs. Carla and the return of Rapin' Ryan. Also, the recent arc with Leslie and Robin also probably counts.

>>92729875

Yeah, the art is really good, as batshit as the story is. Maybe someone could do it either early on as a warmup or at the end as a pallet cleanser?

>>92729910
> palate cleanser
This. Something to make people regain hope in comic books.

Like putting two pages of a comic into one image?

Or taking two comics and making page 1 of each one image storytiming side by side?
I can't think of any pair of comics that would work well storytimed paired.

>>92724852
>reading Trouble and Unfunnies at the same time
don't do this
it makes mustard gas

Is Lightbringer on the list?

>>92730029
You know the unholy trinity has been done so many times a thread where every image is a page from each could be different enough for good interest. And kill anyone that hasn't developed a resistance.

>>92730066

Someone should find a way to do the entire trinity at once.

It's Unfunnies, Trouble and I always forget the third.

>>92730167

Marville, isn't it?

>>92730066
It's really rare for there to be an Unfunnies storytime. I would argue that only a handful of us have built up a resistance.

>>92730167
>>92730208
Isn't it Nemesis?

>>92730167
Nemesis?
>>92730208
Marville isn't a Millar book

File: three.jpg (2MB, 3906x1980px) Image search: [Google]

>>92730208
So every page would be like this? Except done by someone who actually knows how to combine images.

>>92730401
>>92730413

I stand corrected.

I'm not sure if anyone will do them again, but so far the books that get posted every year are:
>Nemesis
>Ultimatum
>Trouble
>Girls
>Marville
>JLA: Act of God
>Unfunnies
>Our Love is Real
>US War Machine 2.0

I know most of them will return, but IDK what will eventually become tradition. Also, I want to find the anon who dug up War Machine 2.0 and choke him. That comic is hands down the WORST thing ever storytimed on this board and it was forgotten and unknown until the first weekend of pain.

>>92730001
If we do webcomics, how about a collection of worst moments instead of a storytime? Some doag, some LICD, some Sinfest, some Dobson. A top ten of the worst the net has to offer.

>>92723591
I don't know, anon, I really want to see another How I Became Yours storytime, they're always hilarious

>>92730558
I'm starting to feel like America (the Marvel one) will go down on history as the 4th holy abortion of the SoP week.

>>92728158
That's amazing

Last year already had Sonichu and Bleedman.
Also, I'm planing to to >>92727959 again since it cause a good amount of reactions the first time I posted it.

I really should make more promo images or ask /wrs/ to do it like last year. There's almost 2 whole months to get ready.

I vote Spiderman:OMD be in the storytime of pain. In honor of it's ten year anniversary since Spiderman comics became garbage.

>>92730413
I see. So a typical page from a triple threat trinity storyitme would look like this.

>>92730867
That doesn't look too bad for something I threw together in paint without any real software. If someone put in the prep work, I think they could do it fine and save a third of the time storytiming on the actual weekend.

>>92730867
If someone's going to do this, they better get on it.
It's less than 2 months till show time.

>>92728024
Hey, I liked humphries X force... Oh wait, the one I liked was uncanny X force by Hopeless.

We could storytime hellcat

>>92730867
It really depends on the total page count, not to mention the case of doublepage spreads.

>>92728342
There's one thing I liked about chuck Austen X men, it was funny as hell

>>92730867

>And I looked, and suddenly there was a pale horse, and he who sat on it, his name was Death. Hell followed with him

>>92731032
I would suggest special double spread pages get their own image by themselves for convenience.
As for different lengths, that could definitely work in the favor of a fun thread. Like successfully taking down one of a triple threat, only 2 more left! we can do this!

>>92728024
I've never read Fraction's X-Men. What is so wrong with it?

> Trouble
> Ultimates 3
> Ultimatum
> America
> Identity Crisis
> Ultimate Adventure
> One More Day

>>92730867
You are monster. A beautiful, terrible monster.
Just one page and I can already feel the warp overtaking me.

Hahaha Don't be silly. There's no way you could combine pages from several comics into one. The file size limits would make all the pictures loo-
>>92730867
Oh fuck, the mad man. What have you done? I gaze on the three headed hellhound Cerberus.

>>92731109
Greg Land, mostly. Also, your typical Fagtionisms

>>92723591
America better be included, it's by far one of the worst comics I've read recently.

>>92728024
What's wrong with Our Love is Real? I get the concept is all kinds of fucked up but that's kind of the intention.

>>92729854
A Story Time of Pain implies it's almost painful to read. Batman Odyssey is too batshit insane to not be at least a little bit enjoyable.

>>92731109
Honestly, I was kind of drawing a blank of what to run that weekend since Austen's X-Men either seemed to obvious or had already been done (can't remember). Looking back, I should have storytimed a certain Wolverine comic instead.

Also, I'm sorry about the huge hiatus, my life is a terrible mess right now

>>92723591
DEATH
OF THE
NEW GODS

>>92731551

Secret Wars II
Countdown

>>92721152
Clone Saga

Zero Hour (Fuck Hypertime)
Archie vs Punisher

There's too much to do for that, but at least DotNG is only 8 issues.

Image unrelated, but has to be incorporated someone into this storytime stuff.

>>92733360
Its absolute shit. If you've seen the famous cover than you get the one and only note/joke of the book and that is repeated non-fucking-stop. Its quickly tires and becomes ass.

>>92733504
oh my fucking lord this a cursed book.

>>92733525
Here's the last storytime of it (a month ago):
https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/92215676/

>>92733542
I know, it was my first time.

Just sotrytime Homestuck and we'll all kill ourselves

or one of the MLP comix

that'll really actiavate everyones almonds

I think that JoJo ripoff NEEDS to be in it. You know, the one where they don't even try to hide it?

>>92723591>>92723646


>I don't want to do the exact same comics though, that would be boring.

We should have a mix, some of the classics and some new and overlooked ones.

>>92727057
Squirrel girl got nominated for two eisners last year and another this year. If there's ONE especially horrible issue or trade's worth, I think it's justified.

>>92728204
You're the villan we deserve.

>>92728611
There should be some room for suprises, but it always depends on the people who's posting.

>>92731509
>>92730597
America's a great contender for the future, but it has the disadvantage of not being even through one trade yet. It's also been done close to 40 times this year alone.

>>92731551
The fucked up concept is enough for it to win a consistent seat at the table. Same with Girls.

>>92723652
>Maybe Spider-Man: Chapter One by Byrne, too.

This one's tough because it's terrible (enhanced by how Byrne acts online over it) yet not as terrible as something like The Unfunnies or War Machine 2.0.

I'm really almost tempted to say I would rather read Spider-Man: Chapter One over Civil War II.

>>92723591
Do we normally do the Joker's Daughter? If not, we should.

>>92733997
Doublefeature with the Harley Villain Month issue, and the Comic Con one.

>>92731551
The events in it are strange and fucked-up. The comic portrays a bunch of weird shit happening, but the author stays pretty neutral about it. Since it's ambiguous to determine who's supposed to be morally on the wrong/right in the story, the comic is capable of pissing off people on both extreme ends of the political spectrum. People with conservative beliefs are disgusted because they believe the comic approves of the stuff the characters do in the story, while people with liberal beliefs are offended because they think the comic is mocking and criticizing their side of the debate.

>>92730576
I'd be up for Sinfest

Even better - you can see the EXACT date where he went insane. So do a few strips before that, then go from there.

Dobson is done so often he loses all meaning.

>>92731602
YES!
Seriously, yes! If someone does this and The Crossing, I'll love them from afar forever.
I'd do them myself, but I don't want to invest in a 4chan pass, and I think I'm missing two issues from the end of The Crossing.

>>92721152
I've never seen War Machine 2.0 or Our Love is Real. Have they been storytimed that much? I use to do OMD and Sin's Past alot.

>>92733243
Clone Saga is too fucking long, also someone did it using the TPB versions. Pretty sure it's missing shit that made it even more drawn out and painful.

>>92736266
War Machine you'll notice immediately because it's done all in like, early technology model poser. It's like someone made a shitty lower quality version of Beast Wars, but Marvel

>>92736347

>>92733728
Girls is so absolutely infuriating. It had the premise of a top notch xeno/gangbang/egg-laying fetish porn comic but it was just about how awful and incompetent everyone is. I just wanted all the humans to die by the end and was horribly disappointed they didn't.

>>92736443
That's the thing. It's compelling because of the setup, and you keep reading it hoping for a payoff that never comes. It's kinda beautiful for how terrible it is, and it's almost enjoyable simply because it's a piece of shit.
I can't begin to describe Girls as anything other than something that causes a lot of mixed feelings.

>>92736554
Well everyone knows the power of hate, and boy is there someone for EVERYONE to hate in Girls.

I actually think it's much more painful than some higher up in the "storytime of pain" roster because it has people virtually screaming at their monitors about how dumb characters are or hoping they die. I was quite disappointed with The Unfunnies because it was just literally unfunny.

Injustice Ground Zeroes bad enough?

I've never liked Court of Owls, it got me to stop reading Batman but I don't know if that's enough to justify giving it a spot.

This is an strategic meeting...

Also have to admit it... I like chuck Austen X men more than current X men gold or Lemire EXM... Those comics just cause me apathy, Austen X men is batshit crazy and funny aa hell...

Wait a minute... Why not storytime Shithumans vs X men?

>>92731165
>> Ultimate Adventure
Replaced with Ultimate end.

I heard there was a NuWally West comic that was terrible. Not terrible because black Wally triggers /pol/ but legitimately bad.

When is this year's going to be?

>>92737768
The Flash ongoing is fine.
Good characterization.

>>92733243
But Zero Hour isn't bad. It's just confusing if you're ignorant of 86-92 continuity. Same with Genesis. Hell, I'd argue it's better than Infinite Crisis from a story perspective.

>>92738040
Genesis is quite bad. Most Byrne things are.

Civil War 2 this year? or is it too recent?

Really? Are you honestly going to compare Girls with Our Love is Real? Girls is absolutely filled with unintentionally hilarious moments and the sub-par art just makes it even more hilarious. Our Love is Real on the otherhand doesn't have a single moment like that which isn't intentional. I don't think it's a particularly good comic or anything, but it's marginally enjoyable for simply being a comic that's about fucked up sexuality in the future. At the very least, it's nowhere near as bad as the vast majority of the contenders for Storytime of Pain.

What is this

Fucking newfags need to learn to read the damn thread.

Would anyone be interested in a SoP on /aco/? There's plenty of lewd comics that are bad. I know porn comics are bad in general but there are some so bad it's good.

I feel that the weekend of pain is mostly a /co/ thing, I doubt it would catch on on /aco/, let alone /a/, /h/, /d/, /vp/ or any other board that could do a storytime.

You got it all switched up. Girls is enjoyable because of all the unintentional slapstick and retarded dialogue, Our Love is Real is just miserable all throughout.

Is there a way to do that other than paint? I know it would very much save time storytiming 3 comics at once (save 2/3rds of the time) but how much work before hand would they have to do? I'm not sure if someone would want to put in that much work.

What about Wolverine Origins?

Really? Our Love is Real is less of a slog since it's so brief and it's obviously a satire, how can "I make love to crystals" not be? Girls just kept dragging on with a poorly written story and retarded characters.

Because in between the terrible dialogue and god awful plot, Girls has islands of pure comedy gold. Our love is real is like a surreal collection of pictures that every so often make you go "what?" while reading it and leave you confused and a little angry after reading it.

Shitty webcomics are too easy
