And seems like they made Malice more modest.

I have been talking with someone very knowledgeable about comics from whom I have learned a lot, and it turns out that about 80% of everything I dislike in modern comics is the fault of someone named "Bendis". The other 20% of things I dislike in modern comics mostly turns out to be from two people named "Garth Ennis" and "Grant Morrison".

It's all much simpler than I thought it was. Like these three are right there in almost anything bad I might name.

Really, no Didio? Nothing about how Axel Alonso fired a bunch of veterans to bring in tumblr artists who made dog shit? I would definitely say Mark Waid has or at least had WAY more influence over the industry than Ennis ever did.

Then again I've been out of the game for a long time now. Which is a shame, I loved comic books. But they stopped loving me. Or at least my money.
 
Bendis sure, Morrison okay maybe but what the fuck did Garth Ennis ever do except live fast and fail to die young?
 
Ennis isn't terrible when he's doing something he likes AND has editorial oversight, but he did inspire a lot of the current untalented nihilist cunts that never mastered when to be cynical and meanspirited and when you show some measure of heart and warmth. His good stuff includes Punisher, Kev, Preacher and Hitman. His garbage includes Crossed and most of The Boys and whatever that latest WHAT IF CURRENT ERA NUCLEAR WAR book was called.

I like how even the exposed sides of the hips you’d see in any average bathing suit was too male-gaze to allow, so they had to give her Final Fantasy belts.

When Malice was first announced that she was returning. The early artworks suggested a 1 to 1 copy of the Rivals version.

But they basically gave her blonde instead of white hair in addition to making her more covered up and boots over bandages and spikes.

There's a book coming out on the 17th of this month called Lost Marvels: Savage Tales of the 80s. It is going to reprint the entire 8 issue run of Savage Tales Magazine that ran from 1985 to 1987. It was a black and white war/western/gun violence anthology. I picked it up during it's original run on issue #3 after being shown a copy by a fellow grade schooler during homeroom. I thought it was awesome. It had great art featuring John Severin (my favorite) amongst others, and some teriffic hard-boiled writing. It was in these pages that The Nam comic was birthed. Sadly, sales weren't great as the issues started to arrive late, then after issue 8, they packed it in. I now have the complete original series in magazine form, but this will be a nice convenient format. I really wish that magazine had made it for a longer period of time. It was great.

I got this delivered the other day, and it's mostly terrific. The reproduction is fantastic, they even reproed the ads and letters pages...my biggest gripe is that they didn't reprint the covers full page. They put a big black border around them. I don't understand that, as they printed the inside cover art pieces full page. It's a shame as most of those covers are great. Also, I could have done without the faggot that wrote the intro piece "apologising" for the non PC elements of the magazine and trying to distance the magazine from the Reagan era politics of the time, even though there isn't really any of that to be found. To be fair though, the Editor of the original magazine, Larry Hama, did say that if given another chance to do the magazine, he wouldn't do anything different.

Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase.
 
I think Spider-Man has sufficiently replaced Superman as being the superhero. Yeah, Superman can fly and shoot heat beams and hold a freight train over his head, and sure he takes the weight of the world on his shoulders often, but has he ever been broke? A loser? Have a shitty love life with either too many or not enough good women in his life? Has he ever known a truly human struggle besides "Gee, I sure hope I fit in"? Superman is some Jew's knockoff Jesus OC, while there is a Spider-Man in all of us, a working man who takes responsibility and does what's right, even if it costs him everything.

Speak for yourself, I don’t have a cucked perpetual manchild in me.

Now the feeling of being a good man in a bad world and being an alien because of it? No, not everyone can relate to that, mainly because we live in a world of Luthors.

New 52 Clark aside (and in hell), Clark doesn’t have Peter’s problems because for all DC’s faults, they didn’t have Clark sell his life/beloved and legacy to save an old person. He was indirectly responsible for his old man’s death and he took it like a man.

After OMD Aunt May sure rode the cock carousel huh, now she's getting blacked even. This is why a real hero doesn't make a deal with the devil.

Aunt May is fucking a nigger? That’s hilarious. Peter’s life is actually worse than Bruce Banner’s, at least the cheating is on both sides with Bruce and Betty, as opposed to MJ getting all the dick and Peter getting the shed.

When your life is worse than that of the man who was made to suffer, you have earned that bed of thorns.

Plus Bruce’s mom is thankfully in heaven and can’t be fucked with.
