>Cerebus, the 6000 page satirical epic that represents a high point of the use of the comic book medium to tell stories, that ran for three hundred issues from the seventies into the noughties, the peak of self-publishing success in the comic book form, and that was never going to return – is going to return. When we last saw Cerebus, old, unmourned and unloved, it was being dragged kicking and screaming into hell. >Now we get to see what happened next. And not in some jokey Cerebus #301 metacommentary. >This is Cerebus In Hell #0. By Dave Sim and friends, out in September from Aardvark-Vanaheim. And to be followed by a new four issue Cerebus In Hell series next year for the character’s 30th anniversary. >Oh, and because this is Dave Sim, he’s ripping off a painting of hell by Hieronymus Bosch for the cover -and crediting him as well.

>Sup Forums doesn't care Well, I for one am hyped.
Gabriel Taylor
was cerebus ever full storytimed on here? i cant remember if it was.
Juan Ward
I haven't followed Cerebus in a long while
What level of madness is Sim at right now?
Jeremiah Phillips
>was cerebus ever full storytimed on here? i cant remember if it was. Last year I think? With some commentary.
Wasn't Cerebus' soul eaten by an evil darkness/light eater goddess?
Kevin Jones
Holy shit this is big
Jose Murphy
This is literally THE most unexpected comics announcement in history.
Landon Lee
Can't wait for the crazy tbqh.
Jace Allen
You didn't hear about Kirby returning from the grave to letter a Fourth World conclusion written by Chris Ware and drawn by Stjepan Šejić?
Ryder Barnes
It ended in the 90s.
Wyatt Morris
>Hellboy in Hell >Godzilla in Hell >Cerebus in Hell
Who's next
Jaxson Foster
the spirit
Michael Parker
Darwyn Cooke
i'm sorry
Hunter Foster
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!
Julian Moore
...
Brayden Ortiz
>What level of madness is Sim at right now?
He comes off like a goofy uncle that just learned how to use facetime in his weekly vlogs. He still has his beliefs, but understands that people see them as toxic and feels like it's best to keep it mostly to himself
Luis Robinson
Whoa
Anthony Campbell
Don't forget Wolverine goes to Hell.
Easton Gutierrez
Welp. Time to reread Cerebus. I'm officially hype.
William Nelson
> Tfw no Gerhard I'm curious who Sim will get to work on it. I know he's talked about his wrist/hand being fucked up and his drawing skill has diminished because of it
Oliver Bell
He'll probably just use a lot of collages and trace some shit, that's what's he been doing for awhile now
Gavin Baker
2004
Kevin Collins
That cover makes a good case for Dave Sim having a mental illness.
You can expect Cerebus to meet pastiches of Hellboy and Godzilla while he's down there.
Aiden Clark
John Constantine in Hell. Aka "Tuesday".
Asher Butler
He can't set foot in Hell without ingniting a war for his soul between the Lords of Hell tho
Cooper Johnson
>That cover makes a good case for Dave Sim having a mental illness. The latter half of Cerebus wasn't enough proof for you?
Brody Gray
We got people on Sup Forums constantly insisting that he's better now.
He's not.
Jaxson Bennett
Has he been ranting about women and religion after he finished Cerebus, where? I'm curious.
Aiden Allen
holy shit
Jose Bell
and it was...glorious
Jaxson Johnson
There's nothing wrong with Dave, he has seen the light how women really are.
Landon Brown
This. Based Dave will save us from mediocre trash
Carson James
exactly. everything that Sim said about feminism in the 90s turned out true.
it's just that "Sim is crazy" is a meme spouted by casuals
Samuel Baker
Tell me more about how AIDS is a government conspiracy and my pet goldfish will bring about the downfall of human civilization, please.
Wyatt Johnson
user, you are a retard. I'm not going to waste my time on some memester
Luke Baker
Dad and I were just talking about Dave and Cerebus today. How the comic industry won't touch him with a 50 yard stick, and speculating what level of crazy he may have achieved since ending Glamourpuss and preserving Cerebus through Kickstarter.
Funny how we discover half an hour later that we're all going to Hell. Can't wait to read it with my dad and love it, while everyone else on social media hates Dave for being misogynistic and problematic.
Leo Hughes
what do you love about Cerebus?
Aiden Rogers
Plenty of peoplea still like Sim in the industry you doofus, IDW and him have a deal together
Grayson Cooper
The paneling. The linework. The inking. The shading. The dialogue. The lettering. The Gerhard.
You know, comic book fundamentals.
Jonathan Perez
As long as he keeps his politics in his pocket, I'm down for more Cerebus.
Thomas Morales
That's the visual aspect. What do you like about the literature aspect?
Camden Cruz
The high society, the church and the state, and the story of Jaka.
Joshua Gonzalez
Pretty standard. I personally liked the after-math of church and state, when Cerebus climbs a high mountain / tower
Ryder Jenkins
>Tell me more about how AIDS is a government conspiracy
Did he write that in the 80's or the 90's?
Wyatt Miller
The art is great to look at. Lettering and panelling are excellently done to bring out the most in scenes.
Very strong and solid continuity. Careful attention to the details and characterizations.
Dialogue is solid and it's fun to see and interpret what some characters represent. Lord Julius was a riot.
Brandon Foster
>cerebus in hell He's in the center of the sun!!!! (Which is basically purgatory)
Caleb Perry
Great arguments man
You can still like Sim's work and agree he's a moron, you don't have to pretend that his literally insane opinions are valid just because he makes good comics.
Tyler Cruz
>Lord Julius was a riot
I'm still impressed that Sim was able to create such convincing Groucho Marx lines.
Parker White
calling someone insane, who predicted that feminist would censor art, and put their politics and agenda everywhere like 10+ years before happened is not insanity, it's the wisdom of gods.
and you don't have to agree with him, it's just that you will never be capable of arguing with him on intellectual level
Ryan Perez
Hell in the Cerebus universe is in the center of the Earth, where YHWH lives and plots against mankind.
Bentley Rogers
And he also argues that AIDS is a government conspiracy and my pet goldfish will bring about the downfall of human civilization.
Please tell us more about what a genius visionary he is.
Kevin Phillips
>implying it isn't. still, the thing is, it's not what he said at all. you sound like a person, who didn't read his essays, only opinions about them and is repeating the memes
Adrian Murphy
Wait a minute, wasn't it confirmed that AIDS was created in laboratories?
Bentley Taylor
Threadly reminder.
Zachary Morris
You sound like a person who doesn't read what Dave writes, considering that he admits to being diagnosed with schizophrenia and doesn't try to deny the diagnosis.
He's mentally ill and he knows it, though he chooses not to treat it.
Brandon Cox
Being schizophrenic does not mean that you are stupid, or that your opinions are "insane" only, because feminists don't like them. Had Sim said that Earth is flat, now that would be disturbing. He did say a lot of harsh words, but I wouldn't consider them insane, at least not the essays in Cerebus.
Julian Hughes
>Had Sim said that Earth is flat, now that would be disturbing. How do you feel about Dave Sim's hollow Earth, with YHWH at the center trying to trick humanity down the female road of evil?
Bentley Hughes
I think that it's metaphoric on the evil jews and women being a distraction from improvement. However, if I had to argue with Sim, I would certainly had to prepare myself, body and spirit, because it would be a very challenging discussion. He is an extremely well read person.
Jordan Reed
Feminists are mentally ill, there's nothing remotely mentally fine about their ideology.
Specifically third and fourth wave feminism.
Austin Lewis
>evil jews Dave Sim loves the Jews. He considers himself a Jew, even as he prays to Jesus and praises Muhammad (his own religion that he created is a mixture of all three major Abrahamic faiths). You are now 100% confirmed for not reading Dave Sim's work, just reading memes *about* his work on Sup Forums.
Thank you for your time.
Thank you for your time as well.
Ayden Hall
That's why I said Evil Jews, instead Jews. Jews are also capable of evil, however let's not forget that YHWH is a vengeful bastard that loves to cull humankind (kinda reminds me of that x-men villain). Still, if he is schizophrenic as you claim, that would make even more sense.
Justin Morris
Anyone?
Anthony Rogers
created by you to kill gays.
Gtg
Evan Watson
Isn't he mainly limitted to cover work rather than writing? I'll admit that I haven't followed him much since Glamourpuss, and the occasional kickstarter support.
David Wood
I'll have to reread the ending. Thought the sun was purgatory where only a few lucky ones escape by turning into a photon and flying beyond the edge of space
Connor Russell
The sun might be where Purgatory is, but since this is called Cerebus in Hell, I'm assuming that he's not in the sun.
Landon Myers
And here I thought I couldn't be this HYPED anymore
Hell, I KNOW this won't be as good as most of Cerebus was, but STILL I'm gonna follow this closely
Jason Nguyen
Wow, I can't believe that 2004 was already twenty years ago.
Benjamin Ortiz
>Dave Sim
Isn't this jerk an anti-Feminist though? Fuck off.
I think you're lost kid. Here let me help you out, >>/r/eddit
Ryan Russell
That's not quite accurate, the break didn't happen until after the divorce.
Hunter Gutierrez
can't blame him. he did the right thing, though
Wyatt Gray
But I don't need to request an eddit.
Connor Hughes
should be I goofed
John Hernandez
Punisher in Hell Batman in Hell Bendis in Hell
Brayden Watson
Bendis? In Hell?
Zachary Brown
More like Bendis in Sheol
Luke Richardson
>epic that represents a high point of the use of the comic book medium
Oh, we're still pretending Cerebus is good? Oh, okay, yay, woo, I'm so hyped!
Tyler Wilson
Alan Moore's "From Hell In Hell"
Jackson Kelly
I know, it's not as good as gwenpool, but still... it's a classic
John Martinez
What's bad about Cerebus, the first half is among the best in comic book history.
Ian Allen
That was unexpected
Thomas Hill
i dont know how to feel about that like, on the one hand i agree that yeah sims veiws on women and society are toxic as all hell but at the same time it was those views that shaped Cerebus into the epic that it is
Nicholas Clark
I mean I'm sure it will be in the comic, he just makes it a point to not appear publicly at cons and doesn't do book signings
I want a new Dave Sim comic like I want to see Frank Miller do another comic by himself without Azz or anyone "helping" the writing. I'd rather spend money on an incredibly talented and strongly opinionated creator than some safe garbage
