A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

Honestly I haven't read SM since they ended the first run of Superior. I think I remember they pulled 2099 into 616 canon, I preferred it to be independent.

I'm assuming this will get reverted back to the status quo within 2 years, which is normally what happens when a new direction is explored.

If anyone has any good recommended SM story arcs from the last decade I'll be happy to check them out.

A reaction against the disaster the last Spiderman run was I take it

Yes. I have really been enjoying it. It’s the most I have enjoyed a Spider-Man comic since the JMS run from early 2000s.

Too slow and talky, exacerbated by stiff and clunky dialogue. Your enjoyment is premised on prior knowledge of mainstream Marvel superhero history, and the series wants you to admire how clever it is by flattering you how clever you are to know all that secret lore.

Oh no, something for the fans - how terrible. Surely we need to get back to basics and just make Peter and the reader suffer endlessly. In 2024 after a pretty stellar run of media including some pretty great movies I think Spidey can deliver some fanservice. I think it’s ok. Bring curmudgeonly about a comic like this seems really sad. It makes me sad for you - I hope you find things to enjoy.

What is the whole premise of this new Ultimate? Like before, an alternate take on the franchise in a self-contained universe?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Just read the first comic, seems to be a world were all heroes were denied their origin story by an underground organisation, and are now given a shot at the lives they should have had.

Been really liking the new take on Uncle Ben and J. Jonah Jameson.

How is Marvel gonna fuck up Peter Parker this time?? Is this finally the timeline where he actually gets the happiness he deserves?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Uncle Ben and J. Jonah Jameson have started an indie newspaper to look into this Green Menace attacking Oscorp interests so... yeah, probably will not end well...

He's married to MJ, they have two kids. He seems much happier than usual

I have been reading it and it is indeed quite good. The setting in which it takes place is nice as well. Recommended!
