ITT: comics that couldn't be printed now

Preacher could be printed tomorrow. That "hating niggers" page is also literally Sup Forums.

I remember someone on scans_daily getting really pissed off by that page years before that community went nuts with identity politics. The upset person happened to have micrognathia, and he didn't like the way his condition was made fun of there.

With how much of a ball the media is having with the bullshit in charleston this page alone could be printed out and sold by the dozens.
Will Sup Forums please stop false flagging

fucking lol

The Salvation arc in Preacher was great. What's everyone's favorite arc? Weakest for me is the one with the New York serial killer, the Reaver-Cleaver.

I really liked Cassidy's backstory. Both the censored self-serving version, and the bleak reality given later.

The entire ending arc.
There is a lot of wrong with Garth Ennis in general, but he knows how to write an ending. The Boys, Hitman, Fury, Preacher as well. I didn't even particularly liked Preacher as I read on, but the final third convinced me it's a good book

I really didn't like how he had to change Cassidy's character in ways that didn't make sense in order to make him a villain.
Why was he sucking cock in alleyways for drugs when he's an immortal vampire? He'll kill a man for blood but he won't kill one for heroin?

>He'll kill a man for blood but he won't kill one for heroin?
I never thought of that. Now that you've pointed it out, it's obvious and makes no sense.

They would print it now but it would trigger Sup Forums a whole lot

Drug addicts are pathetic like that, they don't have much will power.

That's stupid. They're pathetic because they're powerless not simply because they're addicted. If you have power, you don't need to debase yourself to get your fix. Crackheads suck dick for their fix; gangbangers don't.

If you kill your drug dealer, where are you going to get your next fix? And when you're hurting bad for a hit, your instinct is desperate submission to fix it, not aggression.

Doesn't the drug dealer hint he knows something about Cassidy's condition and if he gets hurt, his brother will fuck Cassidy up?

>If you kill a person, where are you going to get your next meal?

Where do you think?

>your instinct is desperate submission to fix it

Again, that's fucking stupid. You're actually arguing that addicts can't be aggressive or violent.

Preacher is shit and Garth Ennis is a hack. I mean jesus fuck he dedicates like an entire issue to embarrassing as hell Bill Hicks worship, it's kind of fun watching the entire story and art quality go to shit if it wasn't actively making you stupider as you read it

And I'm sure his parents both went to Harvard and he grew up in a major metropolitan center, not fucking Kentucky

>I mean jesus fuck he dedicates like an entire issue to embarrassing as hell Bill Hicks worship
it's like Sup Forums. It's one thing to like it but another altogether to go public about it.

Ennis has some pretty severe daddy issues that erupt in his work.

and what the hell is with all the castration? Not just in Preacher, his Punisher stuff has a lot of it as well.

if you kill the guy that gets you heroin where are you going to get more heroin?
that's the point
a junky would rather have a steady supply than kill someone for a one-time big score

It's not like there's only one guy in all of New York City who sells heroin.

What issue was that again?

Normies post that bottom panel constantly on social media

>all those unite the right protestors were fuck ugly
Its funny how accurate this shit always is.

>tfw couldn't re-read Preacher after the 90s because of how incredibly cringe it comes across as now

...

You sure you're not just being self conscious?

Not only would it be printed, but thanks to thin skinned morons and outrage culture it'll sell even better. Just wait till they reach this part in the show.

When Punisher MAX is your most disciplined and focused ongoing comic... hoo brudda.

I'm not counting the genius of Fury MAX

Fuck off Sup Forums. This shit would sell like hotcakes laced with cocaine right about now. Publishers would love to print something like this.

that's a fucking fantastic issue, user, my favorite of the O'Neil run
the ending hits like a ton of bricks
issue 15 if anyone wants to read it

That one "Shoot" issue of Constantine, probably.

Because he was going through withdrawal and was addicted to heroin. Literally a slave to the drug.

>historians refer to the episode as "the wokest hour of television", and one of the few works of the medium's twilight years with any artistic merit

It'll have to accommodate the schizophrenic double-narrative of "white supremacists are feeble, sickly dead-ends of evolution who can only cry into their buckets of KFC as society passes them by" and "white supremacists are a rampaging storm of white fragile rage that could/have seized our highest offices right under our noses". The comic veered closer towards the first one, but any modern version has to have something that can tie into #resistance, or else people will say that it "didn't do enough".

I've re-read Preacher a couple of times and I'm still really impressed at how young Ennis was when he wrote it. If you think of like, Jimmy's Bastards right now, or Wormwood, or the Rifle Brigade - Ennis has written a lot more juvenile shit than Preacher as he's gotten older.

You can find stuff to cringe at in Preacher, for sure. Maybe it's the religious stuff or the violence or the gross-out humour. Maybe just how 90s parts of it are. But God, user, Jesse is a beautifully realised macho character and a real, individual take on the movie action heroes Ennis grew up with and idolised. It's no coincidence Jesse processes things through a ghostly John Wayne persona. Tulip is an amazing character. Cassidy is an amazing character. The whole thing starts off with this kind of epic godly powers Vertigo-type pitch and rapidly becomes, instead, about the bonds of friendship between the three MCs and Jesse's own baggage from his life history. The whole thing is absolute love letter to America to boot.

I actually rate Preacher much more highly now than I did when I first read it as a teen. Although it's wildly different in tone and character I'd kind of compare it to The Once and Future King - it's a book for boys that you can read from a much wider field once you've grown out of being a boy (or if you were never one, I guess).

They barely got away with it back then.

Preacher is great

Good Dillon and those awesome, comic-defining Glenn Fabry covers too. It is great.

>and he didn't like the way his condition was made fun of there.
His condition is made fun of everywhere though

Is that the one where Izzy has a change of heart?

The difference is that anyone could be a meal. He'd have to hunt dealers everytime he needed a fix.

And how is that a problem? A whole police force can't get rid of every dug dealer but a single man can? Besides if he finds a big stash, it will hold him over for months. Or he could always move to Colombia and grow his own opium.

I honestly don't even remember that one, though I never read any of the specials. I think the single issue about Tulip's dad was my favorite.

>kike power fantasies

Love that the edgelord with the eyepatch has a European profile, but Jewish hair

It's crazy to me how Ennis really grasps a lot of true American culture. It's interesting to read something so Americana, but he did do a lot of time here and it shows. Preacher is a great read, I don't think there's a single bad part, but I'm a softy for a story with a happy ending.

The dealer pretty much specifically addresses this.

Nigger read a fucking comic.
