Had anyone done such complete, stylish, engaged retrofuturism in comics before this?

I mean, of course, other way around influence-wise

Maybe this is one of those comics that almost no one read but everyone who did went into comics

Hello, Storyteller.

I can't stress enough how much I miss less complicated art like this. It's just so much easier on the eyes.

Also, The Sexy Brutale is pretty cool.

>>93848884
It also influenced Brazil and Dark City.

For film METROPOLIS is the obvious Ursprung (and for so many other things); what catches my eye is how things here get twisted toward surreal

Hey, Storyteller. You're clearly not at a 100%, maybe you ought to call it a night.

Is this misspelling intentional?

HI THead

Metal doing an old fashioned JLA scavenger hunt makes me so happy

I mean, it's not straightforwardly bad. It's just aggressively mediocre. Lobo delivers a laugh every now and them, and it's always nice to see someone call Batman on his bullshit, but otherwise it's painfully dull. The only reason I'm sticking with it is the vain hope of a reference to L.E.G.I.O.N, and because I want to eventually see what this microverse shit is all about.

Can't recommend it. Sorry.

thanks for reading back tomorrow off Saturday

>>93849464
It's really fucking bad.

>>93849685
Fuck off, Reis is goddamn Kirby compared to Orlando's shit writing.

>>93849809
Thanks OP. Hope you feel better.

>>93849809
feel better OP!

>>93849809
Thanks for posting as always, Storyteller.

Feel better, and dream of the Hawks flying together in happy matrimony.

Also, when your headache clears up, check out this game called The Sexy Brutale. It's this neat little murder mystery puzzle game the centers around a time cycle mechanic. Interesting stuff.

>>93849817

Had Reis been on it??? Normally I love the dude but I thought monster boy was someone else

>>93849438

Could be from the weather. I tend to get wicked headaches whenever a pressure front moves through.

>>93848943
I'm a big fan of the lettering on this page.

As you might expect, Genesis 19:24:
