AWKWARD ZOMBIE

♫Look who's making "Voltron"♫



Sorry about the double post.

The new Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series by Boom Studios is so good it's SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

They're putting out a side series starring Kimberly in a solo thing this month and I CAN'T WAIT AAAAAAAAAAA

I finally got a chance to read Paper Girls. It was a comic I stocked on the shelves back when it's first issue came out, but by the time my shift was over all the number 1's were gone, so I was waiting until the trade came out to read it.

I really didn't like it. At all actually. The artwork is good, but.. its just such a mess.

so Marvel has decided that apperently Captain America (the original, actual Steve Rogers, not a clone, not mind control) was in fact a Hydra Sleeper Agent all along

what the shit.

I mean there are a bunch of really dumb retcons made all the time in Comics, but most people get over them one way or another

there's that, and then there is bodaciously shitting all over 75 years of superhero legacy and spitting in the face of it's jewish creators who bodaciously created Captain America to punch Hitler in the face.

this isn't even an alternate universe, it's the real marvel canon

Remember kids, if one of your potential presidential candidates acts like a Neo-Nazi, then the most patriotic man in comic history will become one too.

That's why I stopped reading Spawn after the November (December?) issue back in 2012. The series was already draining on me after Simmons committed suicide, but that was the point where I was just said, "I'm done." Politics ruin everything, don't they (At least, when they become too political)?


Also:

Wasn't it pointed out in the article that the guy behind the idea joined less than 2 years prior? That's not a long time. A minimum of 5 full year have to go past for it to be nearly considered "a long time".

Marvel and DC comics are bodaciously the dumbest things ever when taken as a whole? Did y'all hear there's three Jokers now? or that the Watchmen are being rolled into the DC dung pile of a universe? or what about the time Wolverine butt fucked time so hard he killed the entire Ultimates universe?

superboy once punched the entire concept of time/space and created infinite crisis

Comics are full of dumb shit, but making cap a hydra sleeper agent really takes the cake. someone on board for only 2 years shouldn't have the creative power to say "hey prime canon captain america is now a hydra agent. always was. great huh."

Its really baffling because nick spencer was one half of the team that came up with superior foes of spiderman, which is really funny and well written.

I called it.

This is 100% a publicity stunt that will get resolved in a few issues. Even if it's "real", it's not going to last much more than a year.

Still not as bad a shitting on than Superior Spiderman imo, and those comics actually turned out to be pretty entertaining so hey.

This may be true, but it doesn't make it any better. It just continues to validate the cliché/stereotype/whatever it is that superhero comics are locked in endless cycles of shocking twists that never last in transparent attempts to boost their numbers. I love the heroes that Marvel and DC have in their rosters. I'd like to read comics about them that don't have to adhere to or tie into huge events, just maybe some team-ups every once in a while. Have the interconnected universe and make some cool events that are just team-ups without devastating consequences that are undone in half a year. Creating stuff like short, six-issue runs where a different creative team can show off their skills and give people something unique is what I'd want from an "event". Marvel's Knights imprint is usually used for alternative one-off arcs for individual franchises like Spider-Man or the X-Men; that could easily be used to tell not only those solo stories but also team-ups stories.

Also, apparently, people seem to be loving Rebirth. Might as well give it a look-see over the weekend when I get a chance.

Just to put into perspective here how bad a move this is, the Joker currently has a level of moral high ground over Captain America.

That ain't canon though.

I've been seeing that two panel comic with the Joker all over the place, what's it from?

It's from Batman & Captain America, a crossover comic.

Imo, it's actually out of character for the Joker to care about nazism. Especially since this used to be one of his underlings.
