Hello, Storyteller.

So random question, do you think the whole evil businessperson archetype is played out, or does it just fill in too many logistical holes to ever really die?

And before you ask, no I'm not going there, I just want to talk about genre conventions.

I think it's a great archetype with almost endless possibility but people get lazy with it. You really need to work out both WHAT they want and HOW they're going to do it.

Sorry, I completely blanked out there. This is a tie-in to Invasion? Oh fuckity joy, as if my evening couldn't get any more trite. Between this, the fireworks, and the stench of Satan's testicle sweat, I don't know how much longer I can hold out before I go completely insane.

The superhero genre has arguably been ruined by the phasing out of the weird bullshit. Superheroes are an inherently silly concept, and I personally find it utterly ridiculous to try and attach so much seriousness to them.

Stop jerking off to Watchmen, and embrace the glorious insanity. Otherwise shut the fuck up, cause the pretentiousness radiating off of every issue these days is starting to physically hurt.

how many fuckin starmen does DC have?

Was Millenium the last time the Manhunters were a thing? Cause I don't think they've had any major appearances in recent years. Kinda got replaced by OMACs.

Which I suppose would make Batman roughly equivalent to Krona.

That was Messner-Loebs, Baron left Flash right after that story where Wally was sleeping with he wife of one of his villains.

Baron claims that he left because he was out of ideas and he liked Wally too much to keep writing if he was just going to churn out crap. Also he was doing tons of coke at the time.

Lads, I've been thinking about doing a complete Infinite Crisis storytime, with every relevant, or semi-relevant prelude and tie-in story starting from Graduation Day, Public Enemies, the Ruin stories, Supergirl, some of JSA, Teen Titans, GL Rebirth, Planet Heist all thru Identity Crisis, OMAC Project, Day of Vengeance, Sacrifice etc.
We are talking about at least 200 issues, so lots of storytimes.
Would anyone be interested in reading along?
Has anyone ever storytimed all of this stuff in chronological order? Can't recall it.

Thanks as always OP. I don't mind it but if someone has a better suggestion might as well move on.

>>93649296
