Jim Lee, you basically own DC, why no Rebirth for your best series?

Not worth it

Wont fit in now that the nu 52 costumes are gone.

Because Wildstorm without the 90's is fucking dull

There's a reason why Ellis is doing Wildstorm.

Holy shit is that some porn looking artwork.

You know what you must do, Jim

he is too busy adopting teenage daughters

ALPHA AF

Um, it is coming. Fairchild has like a Blue Mary shirt now

Shoutouts to Preacheranon for that storytime. Gen13 was different from what I expected it to be as a kid. There's actually quite a lot to the characters and how they interact with each other.

Shoutouts to John Arcudi. That stuff that illustrated the generation gap in a more meaningful way between Alex Fairchild and John Lynch to their kids and the youth in general was really impressive.

I wish we could have got more of that before Lobdell and Warren did a number on the series.

Warren's Roxie and Grunge stuff was amusing, but outside of those one shots. Nah.

Also shoutouts to that one user who said early on that a lot of known artists today did work on the series. When I got to the Gary Frank, Lee Bermejo and Kevin Maguire stuff I was like.
>Sweet. Yes.
Every artist brought their own flare to the character designs too, good shit.

The entire early series was 90's teenagers of both genders being hip and hooking up with each other while getting naked and VERY OCCASIONALLY doing superhero stuff.

The characters included a shirtless bodybuilder kid, a tight little teenager with punk dyed hair and a love of short skirts, a REALLY leggy supermodel teenager who exploded out of her clothes, and a nudist Native American bisexual teenager.

If it were made in the 00's they would have dropped all the pretenses and just had been about FUCKING because that's basically what it was about.

You know, I've had actual ideas for fitting Wildstorm into DC, and DC Entertainment barely even TRIED to grasp the basic themes of the books and characters they used.

The initial launch of the nu52 was such an unholy cluster fuck; for every thing with potential there was something else wasting it.

.....I kinda want to start posting images of the Gen 13 chicks.

>Jim Lee, you basically own DC, why no Rebirth for your worst series?

>If he were black everyone would be losing their shit

do it

>Shoutouts to Preacheranon for that storytime.
You Welcome user.

Gen 13 was trash. I have no idea why you'd want it back.

This nigga has what, 12 kids already?

Benes got much of his start on Gen 13.
He...hasn't changed much.

They kept SAYING that Rainmaker was a lesbian, but she sure as fuck liked showing off for whoever wanted to watch in the original series.
I think she was basically an exhibitionist at heart.

Porn. Even though he could find that for free on the internet.

Sarah Rainmaker was honestly just Native American early Storm, only instead of getting naked all the time because she was innocent she did it because she liked being seen.

I'd Brittany and Kaitlin

Freefall probably was the most unimaginative about using her powers.

That guy looks hilarious. What the fuck is up with his everything?

>Alpha Asian
Maybe there's hope for me yet

>I think she was basically an exhibitionist at heart.
That was pretty much my takeaway.

I think she liked to be wanted but didn't want to commit to anything, so she told people what would throw them off.
Then when she got drunk enough Bobby suddenly made it on her list until morning when she resumed her usual look-don't-touch behavior.

...

I feel like Gail Simone's reboot of the series was kind of admitting that the original thing was just low-key cheesecake by revealing that they WEREN'T created to be superhuman weapons but instead were created to be superhuman sex toys.

>your worst series
Divine Right?

>All this 90s art

BRB going to skateboard while eating Gogurt and listening to, i dunno... No Doubt?

Grunge? He was a relatively short muscular Dudebro who wanted to fuck every single one of his girl teammates except the one most thirsty for his cock. Primary source of comic relief, but his powers we're actually pretty useful because he was basically absorbing man.

Simone's re-write of him was a little more interesting; he WAS a Dudebro, but it was an active choice on his part. He was highly intelligent and had a photographic memory, but the crushing weight of social expectation to excel academically got so bad that he just dropped out and did whatever the hell he wanted because it was legitimately easier to live that way.

>by revealing that they WEREN'T created to be superhuman weapons but instead were created to be superhuman sex toys.
I'm sorry, wat?

And I thought Lobdell was phoning it in with the hypno-lingerie thing.

Alice In Chains? Nirvana? Pearl Jam?

Is he trying to start a soccer team

...

How do you feel about dating black women?

>hypno-lingerie

Nigga you gon tell me where that shit is

In her reboot of the series for the first half they assumed they were meant to be superweapons as per the original.
About halfway through it turns out they were created to be sex toys and much of their lives were crafted specifically so they'd develop a personalities ideal the person "paying" for them by fitting into different archetypes.

One of the key themes of Simone's series seemed to be about how kids always have identity shit thrust on them by their parents (in this case metaphorically the people controlling their lives) and are forced to both live with it and find new ways to express themselves anyway.
It actually wasn't a half bad theme because I'm sure ALL of us can attest that it's something that actually happens in real life, it's just that the actual superheroics part of the comic ended up being the least interesting part overall.

>And I thought Lobdell was phoning it in with the hypno-lingerie thing.
Lobdell has been phoning it in for over twenty years.

It's less the
>black
part and more the
>women
part

>superman

holy Humbert

...

There was an entire issue about them investigating a hypno-lingerie ring.
Nooot even joking.

I guess I'll have to see it before I can say anything.
Something about a super mail-order-bride program seems ill thought out.

It made no sense to me either, honestly.
It fit the theme of course, that children ultimately end up deciding who they want to be with or without parental guidance, but it didn't really make too much sense in the end except for adding more sexual themes for a lady who likes writing sexual themes in her comics.

Simone usually writes decent characters and character interactions (used to anyway), but the actual plotlines themselves tend to be on the thin side I've noticed, especially where Gen 13 was concerned.

>holy Humbert
They both look legal though.

>Benes got much of his start on Gen 13.
I liked Adam Hughe's miniseries.

that isn't WildC.A.T.s

why did Jim Lee adopt two young women instead of little kids? Isn't more the norm to adopt babies?

It's a different generation, one Gen13 wouldn't fit into.

And no one wants to see what the Gen13 of our generation would be.

>why did Jim Lee adopt two young women instead of little kids? Isn't more the norm to adopt babies?
it is, but that leaves kids aged 2-17 without parents

>stepdaughters
he married their mom

he married his wife in like the 90s. why would he only now be adopting them? I think he may have just misused the word stepdaughter - because I don't think those are his or his wife's biological kids

Gen 13 Rebirth is coming.

How am I the only one in this thread to know about this?

They were never able to make Caitlin look like a tall amazon without her being far too skinny at the same time.

She looks like an alien.

>Halter top
>Shoulder pads
I don't get it.

At least Bobby's keeping it retro.
