I know we said no kinoposting, but I just have to say I'm really surprised Waid and Slott liked the movie alright, especially Slott who always struck me as a guy who agrees with the critics.

Clown suicide? But that's my favourite kind of suicide!

When I said "WHO WILL BE NEXT" I didn't actually expect anyone else.

vodka=obtained

let's just say that ol' C. B. has some embarrassing-ass comics in his past

Hello, Storyteller.

So, I recently learned what the word 'incel' means. Ignorance is bliss.

The greatest show on earth

"Incel" should be the next meme insult after "cuck".

Whatever do you mean?

Oh, not that, lesbian Takeda vampires is fun

I mean

google 'volcel' next

So...we gonna read Wonderlost?

Are you taking the piss

C.B. seems like a dick desu.

Why because of that tweet about a guy with his portfolio being a dick to him? That's justified as far as I'm concerned

Is Takeda gay herself? Publicly out or w/e?

Hey OP. Bendis took Alonso down on his way out. How do we feel about Cebulski?

mmmmmmaybe

I really don't disbelieve the rumors that he's been at minimum handsy in the past

Largely indifferent but no strong positives

>volcel
But... But that's just normal ass celibacy though.

... Fuck me, this is a MGTOW thing, isn't it?

Was he involved with that really awful Phoenix comic or the Emma Frost one about her past?

Volcel us not normal-ass celibacy, if that's even a thing in the first place.

the best was Jeet Heer's discussion of East and West Coast Straussians in terms of incel and volcel, but that's esoteric even for him

Why do people like him?

comicbookdb.com/creator.php?ID=92
He was an editor on that Legacy of Fire

I know this is Gerber but this is astoundingly Gerber

I think Lethem really got at the odd, strong symbolic logic that makes the best Gerber tick

I very much enjoy his threads on Kirby

>that dialogue
Oof, that's painful. It seriously would've been less cringey if she straight up said "Hey, let's fuck!".

Uh, yeah, celibacy is indeed a thing.

Jeet's comic shit is always peak Jeet.

Yeah, he's a public intellectual who is a genuine comics nerd

the best Jeet ever was the bourgeois mailbox tweetstorm tho

He's like Namor.

But Namor's actually great, Aquaman is just some lame-o who talks to fish.

sexy wife

Imagine being able to write a multi-issue arc about a dead clown.

Mera is a psychotic bitch who actually tried to kill Aquaman after their son died.

>implying Arthur is not also sexy

Also true.

I knew all Aquaman fans were gay.

this is true, do you think they swing?

I'm straight up to the Henry Cavill with beard water mark, which I feel is a reasonably high one.

Absolutely not. Mera gets jealous.

So Aquaman fans want him and his psycho wife to be AIDS ridden whores? Huh.

Hah!

100% yeah. Atlanteans are just like that. One of the reasons Namor is so pissed is that as a solo male, he isn't invited to a lot of this stuff.

I don't know if this is really the thread for you

Namor isn't a part of the DC universe you stupid mongoloid, Jesus are all Aquaman fans this stupid?

I'm just trying to get to know better the kind of people who like Aquaman.

Aquaman is, like, the least controversial/outre husbando figure in this thread

Mmhmm.

He's just a swell guy

If Aquaman is level 1, what level is Zemo?

What are some good non-superhero ongoings right now? What are my JSAnons reading?

So you admit you're all gay for Aquaman then.

hah I was right, it was the S&G 'Richard Cory' that sparked the name

really up there, especially after Nicky's fun

obviously everyone is trying to jump ship to DC

yes, also they take turns

a whole bunch of us are--keep this quiet--girls, so not technically, no

>hot man married to hot woman

truly we may never know

Most DC writers just stayed quiet after BvS. I don't think praising or hating some movie is going to change your employment options.

Harrow County and Extremity are my two ongoings this year,

Not really? Even Badass Aquaman isn't nearly as morally and story role elastic as Namor?

That's a really shallow point of view, even for a literal homosexual.

but the Marvel guys have spent time talking shit so they feel like they have to make amends

>I don't think praising or hating some movie is going to change your employment options.

Tell that to John Byrne, DC finally gave him the boot because he was very public with his scorn for Superman Returns

...

Nobody does.

People like Momoa so they'll be forced to like his Aquaman
But comic readers prefer Mera, who is a much stronger character

did you all see Lemire talking shit about the X-Office? I mean, it shocks no one, but that's a "not coming back any time soon" gesture

Hey if we had a thread drinking game, what would it be?

I always thought that was for his "only my ideas ever mattered" Doom Patrol run

Aye. You keep that shit on the D/L.

take a shot for every quality ass

live a poem or die a fool

...

yeah

if that thing from SDCC (might have been NYCC?) a while ago where a fan said they wanted to write for Marvel and Lemire's response was "you don't want to do that" was true it's also a big "I know I'm not getting invited back to Marvel and I don't care" move

Last person I remember doing that was Paul Jenkins, and four years later, he has remained doing small press stuff only.

He's writing the Peacemaker and Dumb Bunny with Giffen.

What does he need muties for?

Yeah, it's why I made the thread in the first place. The fact that he's saying it out loud and calling it a "nightmare" definitely means he's not going back to marvel any time soon.
Hopefully his upcoming DC stuff will give him a good experience. Terrifics and Hawkman can't have too much editorial interference, right?

We should legit do that some time. Tex seems like a fun drunk.

I'm not posting tits but lol

I can't get TOO drunk tonight

I'd almost forgotten about that 80s DC book and now I'm all excite again

A whole arc about Odd Man is all I ask.

Lemire is such a Giffen fanboy, I'm interested to see them collaborate.

Giffen is, by all accounts, a very generous and inspirational collaborator

Doran has always had nothing but good words for him, as he was also very kind to her when she was just a kid and we know what a tough road she had

Did the Odd Man thing go anywhere in Mother Panic? I think I stopped three issues in

oh yeah, I forgot they were both on that

should be an interesting collab

didn't DeMatteis say he was doing some books soon?

I wonder if they'll re-use that classic L.E.G.I.O.N. joke.

>Why do you spell it out like that?

Yeah, even during his roast they say that he only really keeps up the facade of being a crotchety old man (to such a degree). I mean, Ambush Bug is still liquid hot fire.

shall we read another?

tomorrow we're too late for storytime

Never read Mother Panic. Odd Man was in it?
Maybe I should read it then.

Yeah, he said that he was. Hopefully it's something good.

When that Vixen mini came out Giffen used his online column to say he believed G Wilson would become a huge star one day. He's real supportive of new talent

Look, we've read some shitty-ass Keith Giffen comics. But even in fucking MAGOG, he was trying to build, trying to add on to the universe.

nice

Aye, and his Kamandi Challenge letter was the best one. Basically summed up with "I wanted to do something that would be fun for both of us"

He was in the back-ups for a reason that I never finished reading about

That suit would make Buckaroo Banzai eat his heart out, I swear.

sorry needed more ice

I feel like Lemire has enough Can Lit prestige that he doesn't probably doesn't feel any need for Big Two support.

lol, what are you drinking?

Pinnacle whipped cream vodka and soda

I'm cheap and girly and can't drink my favorite gin since I drank too much of it when the dog went

Canada is still a small market, but I do see stacks of Essex County in every bookstore I walk in to

yeah, I suspect that book makes him enough to live off of

And he was right, nice

And does anybody knows if that mini was any good?

I remember thinking it was good, but I might have been a pleb back then idk.

I think he's big enough to get by doing creator owned, but I think he likes playing around with the big 2 (or at least one of them)

that interview said as much--he has an outlet in his creator-owned stuff but damn does he get an itch for specific Big Two things

I wonder if Sorrentino will follow him back-ish. I run hot and cold on him--sometimes it's great and sometimes it's copypasta
