The Harley Quinn fart book is out today. I'm absolutely confused as to what editor would allow this vile thing to be made.

Writer: https://www.joannestarer.com/about

I don't know if the writer is a tranny, but it would surprise me not at all.

I glazed over it to see if there was anything funny to post but it's all just gross and reads like someone's jack off material. The ending joke is that she thinks the farts were a curse but she's actually just lactose intolerant. That's the level of "comedy" they're working at. I didn't even pay for the thing and I feel ripped off.

I finally started reading Claremont X-Men. X autism always looked intimidating and bloated to me so I avoided alot of it. What should I read what should I avoid?

There's not a lot that's bad in it in my opinion. Some people would say to avoid the later stuff in Uncanny and well it isn't as good as Claremont's ealier works I still enjoyed it. I found the later part of X-factor to be kind of bland as well, but I really don't remember why I thought that. Also the miniseries during his time can just be skipped unless you really like the characters in them. Some of them are good, but most don't actually have any effect on the world overall.

As for the stuff worth reading the main x-titles during his time are all good, X-Factor, Uncanny and New Mutants are all worth reading and interact with each other enough to justify reading them all. However it's hard to say just read them all because that's a lot of issues between the three of them but if you do just skip from event to event you'll miss out on a bunch of character development and foreshadowing which will cheapen the stories a bit. It's up to you but if you have the time it's worth reading them straight through.

If you just want a list of the best story arcs my favorites are Days of Future Past, Inferno, Mutant Massacre, and basically the whole of the Outback Era.

I'll add the Dark Phoenix Saga and the God Loves, Man Kills graphic novel to the list of must-reads.

A couple words about Mutant Massacre: make sure the collection is truly complete, otherwise you'll miss out on appearances from Thor and the Power Pack kids. Also, it'll be a separate volume, but Fantastic Four vs. the X-Men follows up on certain plot points.

The best way to approach Claremont's X-Men is to just read it chronologically.

just found out Heavy Metal's been translating some french comic adaptation of Jack Vance's Demon Princes quintology.
 
I don't really have much to say about it but I recently read Chester Brown's Paying for It and Mary Wept at the feet of Jesus. and I just think it's hilarious some guy, started banging hookers in his late 30s and got shit about it from his friends so he decided to write and draw a comic about it, and then 15 years later he was still so into the fact he thinks hookers are a good thing, that he went and scoured various versions of the Bible to write and draw a comic showing the positives hookers did in it.

The back of both books are just text appendices of him justifying his hooker usage (to himself? His friends? The audience? All of the above I guess). I don't care either way if some dweeb bangs whores I just think that's the funniest way to go about it, make a tell all autobiographical comic about it and then another comic that boils down to him selectively picking and choosing things to say "see God doesn't mind" what a guy.

Dazzler omnibus thicc as fuck. I could kill a person with it.

I went back and reread the God Loves Man Kills arc of X-Treme and its so.....confusing and stupid. Like why tf is Kitty now super important, was the addition of Stryker and Deathstrike done to tie in with X2? Who tf was the pastor? Why is he a random murderer but body swapped?

Chip Zdarskys Batman is so fucking bad jfc.

Chip zdarskys everything is bad, he's just one of those millennials who the industry has psyopped into being successful. In reality, all of them are fucking terrible. Lot of people say zdarkys daredevil shit is good but I suspect it's more of the same. I feel the American comic industry will improve once it destroys the Tumblr rot and the emo foundations built by Alan Moore, gaiman and the faggot generation. Nothing is gritty or edgy or nuanced or deep anymore, it's just slop.

What's wrong with it? His Daredevil run is up next for me, so I'm curious what the complaints are about his writing style and overall quality.

Prog politics, his women characters are very whiny and bitchy, his fights feel like punctuation for dialogue scenes instead of something meaningful, lots of the sex drugs hippie shit. It feels like theater kid writing, like the scribbles of an emo kid. Even if it's better than mariko tamaki, theater kid writing is not meant for superhero comics. There's like a distinct flavour to each generation of writer and each camp of comic book writers, Morrison was the faggot hippie alongside Alan Moore and gaiman, ennis was the gritty violent guy alongside mills and wagner, miller was an americanized version of gritty violence, neal adams is like batman pulp novel edition, millar is edgy shock value man and so on. Zdarsky is Canadian and his writing goes in the faggot hippie camp with a twinge of cuckery.

The problem is a lot of the people who brought in those tumblr activists to try and get the 'young crowd' refuse to admit that they fucked up and hired bad people. Sort of like how no matter how many times they see that getting Peter and MJ back together would be good for business, they refuse to do it because that goes against what they think Spider-Man needs to be. Comics aren't being made to make money these days, they're about what the editors want the comics to be.

Me and a friend had one of those “if they let us loose on our favorite characters, this would be my run” discussions, you know the type that really twist the knife because it ends up not being anything crazy and it’s just, “remove legacy characters and fag shit.”

Those can be fun.

I had an idea for Marvel where the bigger heroes like the Avengers, X-Men and Fantastic Four are away from New York, right when the city gets teleported into another dimension. While Spider-Man breaks into the Baxter Building to work out a way to get them home, the other street level heroes have to deal with this galactic level threat and keep everyone safe. You get to introduce casual readers to characters like Moon Knight and give them a chance to shine.

Didn't Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon do something similar? It was one of the season finales iirc. I remember it being great.

Its not a total 1 for 1, but that kinda reminds me of the Thunderbolts introduction. Well, the part where all the A-List teams are out of the picture at least.
