We need one of these threads for artists. Because there are some artists I just CANNOT get down with their art. At all.
Frank Miller. On SOME THINGS.
THERE. I SAID IT.

Real life publishers, artists, writers showing up as themselves in stories is never cute, clever, amusing, or anything other than self-indulgent and sad. I find this story featuring real life publishers (Andy Helfer), artists (Linda M. Medley), writers (Keith Giffen & JM DeMatteis) (presumably) showing up very cute, clever, amusing, joyful, and full of self-irony. I have many more exemples if you want.

I forgot about that. That comic is basically the artistic-and-otherwise pinnacle of human civilization. It is all downhill from there.

I don't get the appeal of Archie, but I've come to the realization that it's probably because I hated the high school experience and find most "well adjusted/wholesome" people to be boring subjects in terms of fiction. Alternatively, I would much prefer to live next to well adjusted/wholesome people. Eh.

I never understood the appeal of Magnus Robot Hunter. He beats up robots. So what ?
I said it.

Boba FettNever understood the cult around him. I barely noticed him in the movies, he had no charisma or presence, and yet he seems dearly loved by almost everybody, to the point he was often used in the comics, and I still fail to see the attraction... I don't see it either. I always list his debut as my least favorite thing about the Star Wars Holiday Special. That's... that's wonderfully cruel!!!

Currently, Steve Rogers is an old man while The Falcon is carrying the shield. It feels like the real Cap is dead and never coming back. It just makes me love my older collection more.

My son won't read Falcon as Cap, and I keep trying to get him to give it a shot, but he is bummed about it because he adores the original dynamic of Sam and Steve as besties.

I don't buy anything from the current Marvel line. Nothing from Dc either. My local comic place pulls a few books for me; Savage Dragon,Badger and anything with Thanos in it.

The Magnus series offers surprising depth for what is essentially a sci-fi juvenile, with its warnings about overdependency on technology and its occasional explorations of class issues. There is a lot more going on there than just smashing robots.
Cei-U! I summon the subtext!
