Mite b cool

Not if it's in JLA.

Oh fuck you Orlando you fucking hack.

At this point this honestly seems like a personal fuck-you to Moore. Like, no one cares enough about Promethea for this to bring any sort of sales bump to DC.

Did Moore not own the rights to Promethea?

I don't even know why, but every one of these petty slights against Moore fills me with joy.

His hypocrisy about other people's IP shouldn't make me anywhere near this petty, but it does.

No Jim Lee owned all that stuff.

No, between this and Tom Strong in the Terrifics, it looks like ABC is Jim Lee's property.

Uh huh, who is Promethea, and why is she fighting the Queen of Fables?

And why is the Queen of Fables in this book of all places?
>want Wonder Rogues to get more play
>it's in JLA
Can't win.

What's the point? The strory was done

Promethea was Moore's take on wonder woman and IMO his best work.

The only thing that Moore owned while working under Wildstorm/ABC was LOTEG. Everything else he did was basically for the top dollar rate to him and his collaborators.

>it's a "someone pretends that Moore's use of characters in LOEG is remotely comparable to the manner in which he was screwed by DC" issue

NO!

FUCK OFF DC.

That is a good fucking comic.

The strories are never done, Adrian.

Cranky is a contrarian imbecile, don't bother explaining Promethea to him, he thinks fucking Wonder Woman comics are the pinnacle of the medium.

Kill me Manhattan

>Alan Moore's take on Wonder Woman
... Oh dear god, that sounds like one of the worst things imaginable. As if Diana isn't shat on enough already, fuckin Beard Wizard decided to do his own interpretation.

Tell me, user, just what kind of strawman driven trainwreck are we talking here?

See? Told you. Any other (sane) person would be ecstatic at hearing this, since WW is such a bland, forgettable, utterly moronic character, but not this idiot! No sir! He's too good for Alan fucking Moore apparently!

If you even realised how ignorant you sounded right now to anyone who has read the comic, you would permanently plug your facehole

So we got Tom Strong in Terrifics

Promethea is JLA

Watchmen in DoomsdayClock

Where is this guy gonna show up?

>Promethea was Moore's take on wonder woman
I thought Glory was his take on Wonder Woman.

Why do you guys type like women?

Coming this summer from DC, The Moore League of America.
>Promethia is Wonder Woman
>Doc Manhattan is Superman
>V for Vendetta is Batman

>shits on Wonder Woman
>"type like women"
What? Are you brain damaged or something?

There is literally no reason whatsoever to assume that a hot take, by Alan Moore of all people, on Wonder Woman wouldn't be negative.

I'm not giving the benefit of the doubt to the guy who wrote Watchmen. And no, I don't care if that pisses you off. Fuck Watchmen, fuck what it did to comics, and fuck you.

I'd unironically want this.

Cranky is also a fake persona used by a regular.

>he actually bought into Johns propaganda
kek
Let me tell you a secret, Cranky. Watchmen doesn't have mental control powers. If some idiot decided to put more gore and sex into their comics because of it, the blame falls entirely onto their shoulders.

Johns is the fucking worst

I like how you go to that, and not his Pornographic Lesbian Crossover Fanfiction, which was so, so much worse.

Yes, surely comics totally didn't suddenly become desperate to be seen as dark and mature in the wake of Watchmen and TDKR, the effect further driven by the later success of Tim Burton's Batman film. Nope, through no prompting whatsoever, tons of comics writers just ip and decided to be edgelords. Sure thing, pal.

It's always embarrassing to read posts like this. Retards who don't even try to learn or even bother to read the things they bitch about.

Yes, clearly those evil, EEEEEVIL comics used their nefarious mind control powers to compel writers everywhere to be edgier! Oh, if only Watchmen had never existed, surely no one would have felt compelled to make dark and gritty comics!
You are such a moron it's unbelievable, Cranky. I'm amazed you know how to breathe, you mentally challenged buffoon.

Watchmen was probably the one of those that had the least impact at the time honestly. Comics in general had been getting darker and edgier for years, ever since Gwen Stacy died and Speedy became a junky back in the fucking 70s. More importantly the misinterpretation of DKR and Watchmen isn't the fault of the original comic or their creators and it doesn't change the fact that DKR, Watchmen, and Promethea are still really, really fucking good.

Don't bother, he thinks a shitty Wonder Woman comic trumps every single one of those. He wouldn't know a good comic if I used one to smack him across the face with.

>DC ate All-American
>DC ate Quality
>DC ate Charlton
>DC ate Fawcett
>DC ate Wildstorm
>DC ate EC
>DC ate MAD

What's next?

I hope every higher-up at the Big Two and everyone who supports them contracts every disease that has ever existed.

>popular works are never influential to other works in the medium
Riiiigt.

It still had a significant impact regardless of the influence of other works.

>DKR, Watchmen, and Promethea are really fucking good
Again, kinda doubt that. Again, I rather doubt the so called greatness of Alan "I totally have real magic powers, guys" Moore hasn't been severely exaggerated. And before you even start with that death of the author whoreshit, don't bother with that delusional nonsense concept.

>brain damaged
See, this is what I mean. You two use oddly polite words instead of harsh insults. Just like this guy "mentally challenged"? You're already making ad hominems, why not just call the guys you're responding to "retarded"? Why are you playing this clique-ish "yeah we'll that's not what the group thinks" card?

>nb4 he loves Grant "I totally have real magic powers, guys" Morrison

Johns, Lee and Didio killed this company.

>>popular works are never influential to other works in the medium
The point is that if Watchmen had never existed, dark and gritty comics would still be made, you stupid idiot.

>Again, kinda doubt that
Of course! How could some of the most critically acclaimed pieces in comic book history stand up to such classics as "Wonder Woman versus the Kangaroo of Mars"!!

My money is on Archie

What does it matter, the JLA is one of the worst runs I've seen in years and I was excited because they brought back old lobo.

>using more words instead of parroting the same word over and over again like a literal retard is bad
Ok, so you are brain damaged, gotcha.

What, you want me to call you a nigger or something? Alright, fuck off nigger

Sounds cool to be honset, "the multiverse league"

Wonder Woman is surely better than Thor and Shazam

i've seen people get really defensive and bitch at others for using the word retarded but this is the first time i've seen the opposite

truly we as a species reach new levels of autism every day

HA
HAHAHAH
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Marvel comics

You could try and read them. DKR is only four issues. Watchmen is 12 and Promethea is a little long but it wont take you long to at least check out the first few issues. There are dozens of websites you can read them on right now, just open a new tab and search. It just really annoys me to see some talking so much shit about something they refuse to read, I've never read Dune you don't seem me talking shit about it on /lit/ all day.

You guys really have to lurk more if you want to pretend to be Sup Forums regulars. Better yet, you roasties and soyboys should go back to tumblr.

Watchmen attained sentience, consciousness, sapience and agency, and decided to touch your comics in an inappropriate way.

>Not on my watch, motherfucker! Ha-haw!

>Teen Titans/Archie crossover

I told you to fuck off, nigger.

Maybe DC doesn't realize that they own Wonder Woman? I mean, after all the movie did well and was critically acclaimed, they probably just assume it belongs to Marvel.

Explain how a viking with old british accent and his deus ex machina magic wand is better.

I fucking hate Grant Morrison.

Criminy fuck, just shut the hell up and tell a real story already. Animal Man was decades ago, you fucking hack.

Of course grim and gritty books would still exist, they just wouldn't have become a nigh-incurable cancer on the medium. Comics these days are obsessed with being taken seriously, they more often than not utterly fail to be entertaining at all. Hell, just look at JLA itself, or really any Justice League book from recent memory. It's all so try hard and boring.

By having more good runs than Wonder Bore.

Ins't Disney already wanting to sell the comics rights to focus in the movies?

>they just wouldn't have become a nigh-incurable cancer on the medium
>this level of delusion
OK Cranky, enjoy living in your fantasy world. By the way, remember to tell mommy to change your diaper!

Tom Strong is also set to appear in Terrifics, but that somehow didn't cause such an outrage.
Also, since Top Ten is also part of the shared ABC-universe....will that be also integrated into the DCU?

Because Promethea is a complete story, whereas Tom Strong can be expanded upon. There's also been non-Moore TS stories.

IDW so they can have LOEG back.

By stripping Vertigo he set the stage for Image to become the new Vertigo. And he's continuing to undo all the creative goodwill his predecessors established all the time. DC was the best publisher in the US before he took over and in just a few years he turned them into another ghetto like Marvel.

Everything about your posts so far screams Fake Sockpuppet, and this post cinches it.

>nb4 he loves Grant "I totally have real magic powers, guys" Morrison

with

>I fucking hate Grant Morrison.

Typical "overreactive" contrarian response when called out. It's the go-to action for overly defensive people. Or people trying to keep up an act.

>LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111

Usage of outdated exclamation point/number one "mistake", same with "lol", extended too far. Shameful.

>you fucking hack.

"Hack" is now a cliche insult used by hack contrarians. Adding "fucking" to it is like an undignified way to pretend you're not a hack contrarian but advertises that you are.

>wouldn't have become a nigh-incurable cancer on the medium

Comparing something to cancer. Lazy hack contrarian's quickshot way to say "THIS IS REALLY BAD, DID YOU NOT GET THIS IS REALLY BAD GUYS".

>It's all so try hard and boring.
While normally "try hard" and "boring" can be legit terms, under a hacky contrarian with nothing to say they become cliches.

"Cranky" is a fake persona used by someone, possibly even by one of the people he's arguing with. It fits a similar pattern with other angry fake contrarians on Sup Forums.

Prime example of anons being edgelords while complaining when a comic gets remotely edgy.

You newfag, Cranky is a regular in the JSA storytimes. He's sadly very much so for real, trust me.

How did Johns kill Vertigo? I thought that was on WB not liking how the contracts were set up.

>You could try and read them.
>read an Alan Moore work
Eh, I'd rather read something by a non-insane Brit. Know anything decent by Gaiman? Not Sandman though, sometimes you take one look at something and instant realize it's not for you.

>God, Morrison is such a fucking hack!! Why can't he write good comics like William Messner-Loebs' Wonder Woman run?!!

So, are you going to give up on the Cranky persona yet or what?

^^^This.

Hasn't got an original idea in his body.

desuarchive.org/co/search/subject/jsa storytime/
Take a look yourself if you don't believe me.

Yeah, we know a regular created a whole persona for Cranky and posts in the storytime threads. You're not exactly bringing anything new here.

>Comics these days are obsessed with being taken seriously, they more often than not utterly fail to be entertaining at all.

Bullshit, most of them are sly 'winking at the reader' bollocks no more mature than a procedural cop show, constantly reminding us that they're in on the joke.

If you actually had cape comics regularly taking themselves seriously, we might see the genre and medium push itself as more than just power fantasy wank for retarded nerds chasing nostalgia.

I might be interested if it wasn't JLA

Orlando has been so fucking terrible since Rebirth hit.

... I really want this.

But, I do hate Grant Morrison. Really, that of all things is so hard to believe that it surely MUST be evidence of sockpuppeting? The fuck, user.

... Right, so I don't quite recall having literally pissed in anyone's cereal, but whatever I did to you, I sincerely apologize since you clearly hold some manner of grudge against me.

Honestly, I don't see what your theory brings to the table. If Cranky is real, then he's very sad and autistic, if he's not real and it's just some guy pretending to be an asshole, then he's still very sad and autistic. Either way, it's some loser without a life behind those posts.

Also Terrifics might be a good book, while JLA is and has been garbage.

>ignores point made in post to focus on Grant Morrison

Notice how he's deflecting to cover. It's similar pattern to how some arguments on Sup Forums go.

I'm assuming as CCO it was his idea to take Constantine, Animal Man, Doom Patrol and Swamp Thing, etc. away from them, the contracts didn't help things but that started them on the road to irrelevance.

Because
1) Promethea is a masterpiece of the medium, Tom Strong is just good
2) Prometeha is a complete story and a huge part of the appeal is the lore, you can't fit her well into a straight superhero team book. Tom Strong fits better
3) Promethea is not that popular, Tom Strong actually is more popular. There's seriously no point in using Promethea other than proving Moore right when he bitches and whines about how creatively bankrupt american comics are and how they're still ripping him.
4) There was bitching about Tom Strong too

You're just as autistic as Cranky tbqh. I hope you two get married.

Now you're using the "autism" insult and into the "you two need a room" retort.

Oh for fucks sake, someone just storytime Promethea already. This is just getting stupid.

It's long, just download it yourself. Or buy the Absolutes, it's worth it for this series.

>download
No "masterpiece" is worth killing my computer with viruses. Fuck that.

>Watchmen doesn't have mental control powers. If some idiot decided to put more gore and sex into their comics because of it, the blame falls entirely onto their shoulders.
This is what really upsets me about Johns's excuse and hand-waving of his past stories. He refuses to take the blame for them, and instead pushes it off onto Alan Moore.

Only a couple more years until Sandman Volume 2, where Morpheus and Dr. Manhattan have to team up to fight Darkseid in the event of the summer.

It's quite funny, this guy had a huge ass family, kids included, slaughtered on a picnic in the year 2008 by fucking nazi. Get off your high horse you retarded manchild.

What?

What's Moore gonna do if he doesn't like it? Bitch and complain about comics and their fandoms?

>muh sacred commie cuckhold

>What's Moore gonna do
Nothing
> if he doesn't like it
You're implying he'll read it
>Bitch and complain about comics and their fandoms
He's been doing that for years but shit likes this makes him look right.

In Justice Society of America, Citizen Steel's origin. That's what Geoff "Only sunshine and rainbows, darkness is bad" Johns wrote in the year 2008. He's done a lot of "edgy" stuff with over the top violence and even rape.
