Even more based. How excited are you for the new Vertigo relaunch? I can't wait for more Lono derangement.

Why is it so fucking hard to find TPBS of shit i like? i want to get into a character and it's like "oh you need to read ASSFUCKMAN 25 26 27 and then his sidekick ASSFUCKLAD 1 2 3 4 and 5" and it's like come on nigger, i just want to read a long ass set of comics over an hour or so. In particular i'm trying to find stuff to read on red hood.

The real way to start with comics is actually in the 60s as well but a lot of people cry about silver age stuff being to wordy and hard to read so I never recommend it anymore.

It isn't the age. I love reading manga from that time, but american comics are something else. I remember years ago reading crisis on infinite earths and HATED IT how verborragic it was. It was like being spammed with text and smaller panels fill to the brim with characters.

See this manga page, it has a lot of dialogue but I feel if it was in an old capeshit comic, it would be crammed into 3 panels and the rest would still describe what the art was already telling us.

Crisis is especially bad when it comes to the words and amount of characters on each page. In only 12 issues Wolfman was trying to tell a epic scale story, refence as much of DC history as he could while also putting as many characters he possibly could onto each page. His stuff like Tomb of Dracula and New Titans are still quite wordy but are way better in this regard. I can't really disagree with your take that the drawing to words ratio is pretty bad, but in the 60s they kind of had to do it because the art wasn't super detailed and it was easy to get confused if you were just looking at it. By the 80s though (the peak of writing for American comics IMO) they mostly dropped the whole describing thing and while they're wordy it's in a way that serves the characters and plot.
 
Question: Has the death of the second Robin ever been done in media? I believe there's that good movie that dealt with Jason's death and resurrection, but I believe this hasn't happened in any live action movie nor series, right?

Under the Red Hood.
It touched on Jason Todd "dying" but was more focused on him being resurrected and the conflict between him and Batman as he tried to kill Joker.
But I don't think Todd has ever even been mentioned in any live action anything.

Jason Todd was in the Titans show and it did the Red Hood stuff in season 3

That's the animation I mentioned. Besides this one, I don't think Jason's drama was touched much in animated or LA form.

The "death and rebirth" bit, you mean?

By the way, random thoughts about Invincible, which I've been reading:

It feels like a time capsule of the state of comics in the early 00s, and the degradation it suffered by the 2010s, the whole post-modernism nonse where nothing matters and everyone and everything is cynical, sad, bitter, bleak and angry because fuck you. The volume with the end of the Viltrumite war should have been the last, as it felt like a proper conclusion. After this one, an implied to be gay character is pretty much shoved into your face to confirm that yes, he's gay and that's okay, there's a female villain whose presence makes Invincible go into a rant about being fair to women and all of that (seemingly forgetting about a previous Viltrumite woman villain that kicked his ass), and the best/worst of all: That dinosaur guy which felt like a Captain Planet villain on steroids.
That guy believed that genociding humanity to save the planet was okay, and he makes Las Vegas disappear by fusion bombs or something that disintegrates everything, forcing the government to replace the empty sace with a solar panel farm, which is seemingly good because of the clean energy it gives.
Nuclear plants? These like explode or something, man! Oh, and the whole solar panels decaying and being hard to get rid of? Leftards don't care about that.

Either way, upon seeing the solar farm, Invi realizes that the dino guy was right, kek, or so he thinks. At that point I wasn't sure whether he was suffering from brain damage or if the author was going into full lefty rant, but either way, the writing got worse for sure. The comic gets worse after that supposedly.
