Fuck, who is this guy?

With the exception of "The Spirit", I read ALL comic book works of Eisner. The guy was solid as fuck. A true literate, different from almost every current comic book creator that couldn't write a novel for the sake of their lives.

Who is this motherfucker?

I love how everyone reminded him Eisner was a Jew and how they all ate him alive afterwards, and then he deleted the tweet and said he only implied Eisner was white.

What a hack.

Talentless webcomic creator and mediocre white man.

Ok everyone, let's not beat around the bush. We all know why we're in this thread. Let's just get it over with.

>when you try to be "woke" but you erase a man's heritage.jpg

I believe his twitter handle is the name of his webcomic. Pretty much every pro called him out for this though.

I haven't hrard much of Diaz since this incident
What has he done since then? beside ONE page of Dreden Codak

Any reason he targeted Eisner in particular?

He was looking for the largest hornet's nest to kick.

Aaaron Diaz is the creator a of a webcomic called Dresden Codak a comic that was popular for a while but because the art was pretty. BUT he has shit panel skills even by webcomic standards. He also famous for triggering Sup Forums with his "better" re-designs of classic characters like the Justice League or X-men that would be posted non-stop for a while. He also claims to have come up with the idea of a female link or Zelda being the protagonist of her own game. He may or not be actually stalking Ashley Burch. Did I miss anything?

He has a fetish for amputees and musclegirls

I thought that said Aaron Ehasz from the catalog thumbnail and I got really scared that I would have to start not liking him

Twitter was a mistake

this is coming from Aaron Diaz

You forgot how Mary Cagle destroyed him.

These fucking people.
When is this shit going to end?

There's always been a discussion in the indie scene(This always seems to come from there overall but is not limited to it) weather the great comic creators from the golden age and silver age deserve the accolades, you missed it but he actually threw Jack Kirby under the bus in his apology he must not have known the importance of Will Eisner because literately no one disses him unless they bring up Ebony White.

explain

...

Yeah but
>Diaz

good night sleepy man

based Mary

umm... diaz is ethnically 1/16 italian

so he's not white either, shitlord

He puts ketchup on his welldone steaks.

Naw, Twitter was a blessing. Without it, we wouldn't know how truly idiotic and despicable most of these people are.

Might as well get add more fire to this hate train. Let's meet his Justice League.

>So, following the immense popularity of my 5 Essential Character Redesigns post, I decided to take a more thorough stab at revamping DC Comic’s Justice League. I’ve already mentioned before that I think their current “New 52” reboot, aimed at gaining new readers, is terribly ineffective, so I will attempt to present DC’s top characters in a way that achieves the basic goals that a reboot should:

Make the characters appealing to new readers, not just old ones
Create new story opportunities while staying true to the core themes
Update, correct and redesign where necessary

With these goals in mind, here’s my take. I’ve written out each character’s “reboot” in detail, including my justification for the changes.

His superman....is literately just Martian Manhunter........when you already have him on the team.....

Notes: I wanted to bring Superman back to his depression-era roots, where in the earliest stories he was mostly concerned with social justice more than representing specifically American ideals. It was only after World War 2 that he became a more “boy scout,” authoritarian character. I wanted him to be closer to the Nietzschean “Superman” (the earliest inspiration for the character) whose morality can be independent of traditional ones.

Visually, I wanted to have him look a little more working class, with the buttons suggesting the image of overalls and the sleeves appearing rolled up. With the cape and high boots, though, he still has the appearance of an adventurer. I wanted the overall look to be more of a friendly guy who wants to help people more than a demigod who watches over them. He’s more of a fireman than a police officer.

Also, as an aside, Colu was the original home planet of Braniac, so I used that name for him instead.

Seeing this after looking at Mary-sensei nsfw blog, she really needs to learn how to draw boobs

She's not bad but at the same time he seems to make these characters less human than they already were.

>I wanted to push the mythological angle further, not just for story possibilities but because it can make her more unique from Superman. Too often is Wonder Woman defined by as “the female superhero” rather than anything especially unique about her. The novelty of a superhero being female may have been acceptable in the 1940s, but now it’s quaint at best. Presenting her as a literal living statue is actually not far from her regular origin (she was formed by the Queen of the Amazons out of clay and given life), and it also provides an added Pygmalion or Telos mythological angle, which I think suits her character to begin with. Visually, I gave her something more Greek-like and battle ready, more so than the little bathing suit Wonder Woman usually has. Like most of the Justice League, she’s an alien in the regular world, but she also provides a unique perspective. This, I believe, is an essential theme of the team.

I don't love the look but I actually like the concept

>Mary-sensei nsfw blog
You what

This one in my opinion is the worst because he really missed the point of Cyborg....because Cyborg is his fetish and he can't comprehend why an athlete might not like losing his limbs.

>Cyborg’s current origin (troubled teen who gets in an accident) seemed played out, so I went the technophile angle, which I think is more relevant. It also places a more positive light on Cyborg’s prostheses, as the original origin has a very antiquated “Darth Vader” vibe to it. Here I’ve basically based Cyborg off of Richard Ayoade’s character Moss from The IT Crowd, making him much geekier and emphasizing his intelligence over brute strength. When you’re on a superhero team with the likes of Superman and Wonder Woman, having a gun hand isn’t your greatest attribute. With that in mind, my Cyborg is valued more for his technical skills and madcap ingenuity.

how far has diaz gotten being a shitty white man?

Not bad but he basically just makes him alien Batman when I think he should be more like Alien Nick Fury the one to bring them together.

> I removed most of the Martian Manhunter’s powers and focused on shapeshifting, since his other abilities are covered thoroughly by Superman and the rest of the Justice League. This version is also much less trustworthy of human beings, and with his special skill acts as the League’s detective and infiltrator. Visually I went with something more gangly, and with an outfit that he made himself to mimic Superman. He’s explicitly meant to look awkward and out of place. I like John being more alien and focused on simply understanding the world around him. The first Earthlings he really encounters are all heroes so he thinks “Well, I guess I’ll assimilate into this ‘super’ culture."

>as the original origin has a very antiquated “Darth Vader” vibe to it
How fucking dumb is he? That's like saying a cripple person's wheelchair has a "Darth Vader" vibe to it

he's half Cuban I think

It's the other way around for me. I wish people would get over the golem thing when there are tons of creation stories that involve similar concepts without the hangups that seem to happen with her.

Outfit reminds me of what the Bombshells Amazons wore.

White passing breh

I hate his cyborg most of all. The whole point of cyborg is a ship of Theseus, but with a man who was admired for his skill as an athlete. Once you turn him into Moss from the IT crowd you lose everything.

And no one ever writes Cyborg as a kid who worked his ass off despite his parents objections and then loses it all. I want a story where he watches all his teammates move on, some to the pros. Maybe have him start coaching or something because football was his passion. He shouldn't be a sad sack, but it should at least call into frame how shit it feels to know that all your hardwork means nothing now that you can just screw on a new arm.

>mostly concerned with social justice
So he's creating a Superman that will champion his narrative

thousands of dollars a month on patreon

This is where we go into oc territory to add more diversity to the league meet his fetish I mean new Green Lantern Midori Ota(cute)

>s: The only significant visual change is the removal of the ring. I did this partly because I think a visually central source of power fits with the symmetry of the outfit better, but more importantly I wanted a device that was more universal and would make sense with an interplanetary effort to empower multiple species. It also cuts out the middle man and make the Green Lantern someone who literally uses a Green Lantern to fight. You wouldn’t call Batman “Money Man” or “Cave Man” because that’s where he recharges. Also I went with a plucky, younger character like Kyle Rayner, who I think was the most interesting to hold the title. Midori is a person who enjoys being a superhero and revels in the action it brings, at least for now.

he stole the idea from Justice League 3000 by Morison

Eisner wrote graphic novels that were less than favorable to communism/socialism as well as Islam. Leftists today would hate him.

t. mediocre white man

This one is okay but he really want to do the whole he needs to eat constantly things, blah blah, standard it's sucks to be a speedster story tropes.

>While attempting to replicate what he believed to be the origin of Superman’s invulnerability, Dr. Ananth Patil accidentally accelerated his own metabolism to a superhuman degree. While he has gained extraordinary abilities in the process, his body has become unstable, requiring him to eat enormous amounts of food simply to stay alive and making regular sleep impossible. He currently seeks out other superhumans, hoping to find a way to cure his condition.

>I wanted a different take on the Flash than what’s usually seen, namely someone who saw it more of a curse than a blessing. Ananth is a scientist first, he’s more like Hank Pym or Bruce Banner: adventuring is a means to an end. Visually I wanted to give him a build that was more like a sprinter with larger thighs and a leaner overall shape. His outfit is very deliberately designed (by the Flash himself), with an emphasis on comfort and practicality.

>the only significant visual change is that I dashed the entire concept of the source powers and made a clumsy as fuck remake
Seriously, how awkward is shit coming out of the chest gonna be, and is the power in the suit? Is it in her? Her chest is not something that can be lost or taken off like the ring, which is a great narrative conceit for GLs

Fuck Diaz, what an arrogant faggot. I'm glad we're having a Diaz hate thread, we were due for one

still admire his comic art though, damn

You know what? Why not just go the opposite route of this nonsense he's made up here for an "improved" Cyborg and have him go whole hog on the cybernetics. With the trick here is trying to get him to understand where the machine stops and the man starts. How much can a person lose in flesh and still be human? Is his humanity even worth anything to him at that point? Let that be his conflict.

What causes a motherfucker to wake up one day and start flinging shit at Will Eisner on Twitter?

but he was also a non-Israeli Jew so they wouldn't be allowed to

>Midori is a person who enjoys being a superhero and revels in the action it brings, at least for now.

Ominous.

so do i desu

Someone drew a picture of her tit fucking a power lantern to recharge
It was cute.

she knows they aint fused together right

oh Powergirl everyone tries to get rid of the boob window but it will never go away. People have tried....and they always fail.

>Superman is considered a security liability by the US Government, as he does not recognize their authority over most matters. As a response, the CIA secretly worked with LexCorp on replicating the Man of Tomorrow’s abilities in human beings. The only test subject to survive the process was Lieutenant Karan Starr, who was given the codename “Power Girl” and tasked with being the United States’ counter to Superman. However, instead of openly opposing him, Karan was sent to infiltrate the newly formed Justice League as an independent “superhero.”

> Power Girl’s origin story has always been a mess, so I just started from scratch. Since my version of Superman both makes him much more antiauthoritarian, it seemed natural to have a character that exists as the government’s response to a superhuman acting independent of their own interests. Karan is essentially a Captain America character with a much more morally ambiguous origin, and is sent to basically watch over this crazy (in her eyes) band of superpowered people- I think that has story potential. Visually I wanted to keep her short, curvy build, but place emphasis on her strength instead of her sexuality.

Give me a break. Leftists will call anybody on the right Hitler these days.

>Italians aren't white

lmao. What a douche.

>social justice
>pro American is authoritarian

Into the oven he goes

kniw its a joke but, i thought italian counted as white?

>no boobwindow
that never works

It's always a laugh when Diaz calls something else out as being "played out" yet his ideas for Apocalypse was, rather than the Four Horsemen (hence the FUCKING symbolism), he decided the classical elements were...less cliche?

Plus his current garbage in comic is based off the Seven Deadly Sins. I think Diaz deserves to be slapped anytime he tries to speak about originality.

depends on the decade

the turn of the century until about the 60s Italians was not considered white until an influx of Irish immigrants distracted everyone to forget about the Italians

Tiny testicles

Might as well do his Legion of Doom.....this one is not bad but I am very critical of some of them.

I think her current costume without the window is actually still good, but understandably putting the shield on her generally doesn't work so it's still less than ideal from the window.

His Lex is very predictable mostly because ever since the 80's you don't really need to do a lot of updating with him.

Origin: Lex Luthor is a self-made man. Born in the slums of Metropolis, he pulled himself out of poverty and was accepted with a full scholarship to MIT, though he soon dropped out to start his own business, LexCorp. Luthor’s company soon became the most influential in the country, the leader in both consumer and military technologies. His business practices were less than honest, however, and his further rise to power increasingly involved more dubious dealings. Upon the arrival of Superman, however, and his clear message of standing up to those who would abuse their power, Luthor became concerned. He didn’t understand where this person came from or how he was seemingly invincible, but he would find out.


Notes: Luthor’s a pretty great foil to Superman already, so I didn’t want to change much. I prefer his depiction as a corporate mogul instead of a mad scientist, especially since it fits with my Superman’s proletarian leanings. This, however, doesn’t mean that Luthor isn’t a technical genius, it’s just that his goals are bigger than just inventing things. Visually I wanted someone who looked pretty friendly, nerdy fellow, like a Steve Jobs or Bill Gates. He’s a famous guy and his personal image is strongly tied to the success of his company, so he’d try hard to suppress any notion that he’s anything but perfect. Then comes Superman, who’s this media darling, and it really gets to Luthor. Not only is this guy out to stop Luthor and his kind, but he’s doing it with a squeaky clean image.

I don't own a reaction image smug enough to convey my level of disgust with this cretin.

How come all his designs look faggoty? Is he aware?

>Grodd is just a combination of Cornelius and Dr Zaius from Planet of the Apes
jesus I know he has boring insipid and lazy designs but this is just terrible. he really doesn't understand these characters at all.

would you stop posting this shit? if any fuckup is interested they can go delving through his tumblr or just look at one of the hundred other times it's been reposted here

What's a Rusty Venture?

I am legitimately fucking triggered by this.

is that tiny black woman suppose to be Waller?

I prefer richkid Lex because it makes him even more of a faggot. Though self made Lex gives him a degree of admirability that lends credence to his character being the human ubermensch. What even is the n52 origin? I can't remember.

The thing that always got me about Diaz.
>>I Made all the X-Men monstrous.
>>Because it would make more sense for the X-Men to not look human to fit the tone.
>>Storm has fins on her head, Rogue has razor sharp teeth.
>>All Monsters.
>>Except Kitty Pryde, who is a normal girl.
>>And she leads the team.
FUCKING KITTY PRYDE FAGS! EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME!!!!

I hate this Grodd so much....instead of a gorilla with psychic powers you make his a Planet of the Apes character mixed with Beast.

>Origin: LexCorp geneticist Cornelius Grodd was tasked with reproducing Superman’s regenerative abilities and invulnerability. When he learned that his professional rival at S.T.A.R. labs, Ananth Patil, had made greater strides in this, Grodd sabotaged Patil’s work (unwittingly turning him into the Flash) and stole a sample of what he believed to be a serum for reproducing Superman’s invulnerability. After thorough testing and modification, Grodd concluded that the serum would work, and would also easily double his intelligence. He also concluded that only he should possess such power, and took the serum himself. It did increase his intellect, but instead of invulnerability, Grodd’s body was turned into an early hominid-like form. Disgraced, he turned to Luthor for aid, who offered him a new mission in exchange for the funding needed to undo his disfigurement: create a supervillain group to keep Superman occupied. Grodd knows he’s being used, but for the meantime plays along before making a direct action against Luthor.

Powers: Grodd possesses slightly higher than human strength, but his main ability is his cunning intellect and ability to hypnotize and control those with whom he makes eye contact.

Notes: Grodd’s a fun character and everyone loves an evil gorilla, but I wanted to have an appearance that wasn’t so on the nose about it. I decided for kind of a Planet of the Apes appearance, and went with a backstory that meshed with that. He’s also a guy who’s now as smart as or smarter than Luthor, with the same sort of ambition, and I wanted to preserve the classic semi-rivalry between these two villains.

>Cornelius Grodd
wow really?

he doesn't actually care about the characters, just making the designs more to his liking and then jerking him self off about how smart it is

I love you Dr Zaius

I always thought it was hilarious that his GL OC uses her powers by sticking her tits out.

>He also claims to have come up with the idea of a female link or Zelda being the protagonist of her own game.

Female link thing is stupid, and people have wanted a Zelda game where you play as zelda since Ocarina of Time. Heck probably even before.

I don't care. This is Aaron Diaz thread dude what do expect?

Also hey Big O! youtube.com/watch?v=52BcC9Qzl-Q

>Origin: LexCorp wasn’t the only company bidding for the government’s superhuman contract. Cadmus Labs also had a candidate for the “answer” to Superman, but while Lex Luthor’s project was simply to make their own superhuman, Cadmus took a darker route by creating a weapon explicitly designed to kill Superman. In place of a life sentence, mass murderer John Corben signed on to be one of Cadmus’s experiments. Project Metallo involved grafting him to a mechanical body, one that was powered by a mysterious meteor that they had been observed to weaken Superman. When Metallo was rejected by the government in favor of Power Girl, Cadmus made plans to dismantle him, but Corben managed to escape. Soon, however, he was intercepted by the Grodd, and offered an opportunity to join the Society so that he could fulfill the one action that would truly give him pleasure (thanks to Cadmus’s conditioning): fighting Superman.
Notes: Criminal experimentation seemed like a natural way to go with Metallo. I also like the notion that Lex Luthor actually didn’t come up with the most evil way to deal with Superman (at least at first). Visually I wanted Metallo to look a bit clunky and retro; there’s some Iron Giant and Big O in there, as well as a creepy glowing skull. He’s meant to look like he can take and give a pounding. The origin I’ve given him isn’t far removed from his original, just a little closer to something from the Robocop movies.

Yet Power Girl's tits don't

>I Made all the X-Men monstrous.
>Because it would make more sense for the X-Men to not look human to fit the tone.
does he even read comics? he has no grasp on anyone or anything he tries to redesign. The X-Men are feared because anyone at anytime or place could be a mutant. they aren't all big obvious monstrous people. And I'm not really that big of an X-Men fan but even I know that much.

He even has to link Grodd and Flash because he's autistic. I like that Grodd and the Flash don't have a cliche Hollywood link, it's something I like about capes, weird and wild shit happens for no real reason but the sake of it.

>I wanted the overall look to be more of a friendly guy who wants to help people more than a demigod who watches over them
nigga looks menacing as fuck though

Atomic Skull?

Fuck off I'm enjoying the Diaz hate thread

No one should ever try redesign something by Bruce Timm is only cause pain and disappointment.

>Origin: Leslie Willis first gained notoriety on the reality TV show I’m a Superhero, Get Me Out of Here, where contestants were given a superhero name, powers, and forced to live together in Miami. When she discovered she would soon be voted off the show, Willis concocted a plan to increase her popularity by “going evil,” and proceeded to murder the other contestants and film crew. The plan worked, and “Livewire” continued to garner fame with a violent life of crime. She joined the Secret Six primarily because it would increase her exposure and chances of killing a popular hero. However, if that doesn’t turn out, Livewire has a backup plan where she will “turn good” at the last minute and help the Justice League.

Powers: Livewire’s gauntlets and helmet allow her to control electromagnetic fields. This mostly involves firing bolts of electricity and a rudimentary usage of magnetism to bend or throw metal.

Notes: Livewire’s original origin (as a shock jock) seemed a little too early 90s, but I do like the idea of an obnoxious egomaniac angle, so I went with the reality show backstory. In a world where Superman and other heroes are a new thing, you’d expect media outlets to capitalize on the hype. Livewire’s motivations aren’t too far removed from modern non-celebrities of that type, she’s only taken it to extremes. Visually, I wanted her outfit to be provocative before it’s practical. This is a character who is more concerned about being photographed than having combat-ready clothing.

Ghost in the Shell?

...Fuck, I actually like that as a villain backstory. Not for Livewire, but in general.

Parasite

>Notes: Livewire’s original origin (as a shock jock) seemed a little too early 90s
>makes her a reality tv star

It's like a finely crafted joke

aside from the CR headset, gloves and skin color I actually like this design. not for Livewire though.

Poor Sinerstro.....ever since his Ptsd he's never been the same "Her boobs haunt my nightmares at every waking moment..."

Origin: Midori Ota was not the first on Earth to possess the Oan “green lantern.” Years earlier, another person, Dr. Evan Qward, first received it, but he quickly came to abuse its power, hoping to rule over the Earth with what he deemed a divine gift. The Oan lantern, however, was built with a failsafe against such abuse and disappeared from Qward’s possession, in search of a new host. Soon Qward was driven mad, having become addicted to the power, and spent the rest of his life trying to replicate the abilities of the lantern. Having recently discovered there is a new person using his former “gift,” Qward has taken up with the Secret Society under the name Sinestro in order to kill this new Green Lantern and reclaim what is rightfully his.
Notes: I think Sinestro is an important component of the Green Lantern mythos, as he represents the temptation that comes with such power and how easily it can be abused. Although his origin here is fairly different from the original, I think I’ve still kept the essential element of him being a “fallen” Green Lantern who thinks that power should be used to rule over people rather than serve them. While originally his antagonism was mostly an ideological one (since he still had his own power ring), here I’ve added a more direct motivation: he wants his lantern back. I like the notion of such power being addictive. After all, I imagine losing the ability to make whatever you imagine come to life would make anyone pretty angry. Visually, I didn’t want to stray too far from the original Sinestro. He’s a basically an evil Green Lantern, so that should stay the same.

You missed his twice-yearly update schedule and that he quit twitter twice after getting verbally destroyed by people much more talented than him.

I have never seen a man who loves the smell of his own farts more than him, and his fans are perfect examples of the kind of idiots who thinks that having a nerdy hobby or liking nerdy things automatically makes you smart.
