Barbatos, to my knowledge, was a Demon or something created by Darkseid and sent after Bruce Wayne when Bruce was sent through the time line.

as for Hurt. I never actually read all of the Hurt stuff, I know who he is and I vaguely know his backstory. but recently I started reading Morrisons Batman and Robin again, since I haven't read it in like, 8 years, so maybe I'll actually read all of Hurt's shit for once.

Hurt's stuff is pretty intriguing and left a lot of stuff open for interpretation.

Hell, knowing Barbatos is just 1 of 72 demons of Solomon, does that mean we're due for 71 more Dark Multiverse tier events?

(No, not even my spergy love for comics could take that.)

Synder is the biggest fucking hack that has written for DC for the last decade, I know people like parts of his Batman run but everything post that has been completely meaningless especially his JL run, he tried to ape Morrisons style and redid the similar story beats but worse, doing the exact opposite of what Morrison did when it actually came to telling stories. Quick, succinct and full of character, Snyder can't grasp even one of these unlike some better writers he wanted to emulate.

i do not agree that Snyder is necessarily a bad writer. I think he can write some pretty good stuff like Black Mirror.

I will however agree that everything past his initial Batman run has just been steep degrade of quality. Starting from his JL run to now, it's just been straight downhill.

Barbatos was created by Peter Milligan for Batman Dark Knight, Dark City(452-454) but Morrison retconned it's origins out of the supernatural and then Synder retconned it again and because he can't help himself like a hack, he created the worst version of the character.

you can tell Morrison has a certain care and love for the stuff he writes, as he's gone over interesting bits of character lore and even gets into obscure things just for good stories. Snyder just felt like good ideas executed mediocrely.

Did DC remove any editorial control over Snyder?


Also Peter Milligan is a consistently good writer. I wish he'd do more work for either of the big 2.

He definitely had more freedom than others and it makes sense - his shit sold. So I'd say it makes sense to give more freedom to guy who stacks paper. I think at some point you have to shift some blame on people who were buying his shit.

look as long as it prevent catlady garbage like mariko tamaki from getting further into DC comics, I'll make almost any faustian deal within this realm.

I've got a metre long box of X-Men comics from late 90s/ early 00s that's taking up a lot of room, and I'm considering selling it on. It won't be worth much because young me absolutely trashed my comics, but I'm sure a nostalgia fan would take up the offer of reading copies. I'm sentimental about the collection because I was so hugely into the X-Men then, but it's literal decades since I was into them and now the entire comic line is just cancer. Dirty, nasty stinking cancer. I don't know. What should I do?

I know exactly what you should do because I've done it myself a couple of times: give it away. You probably know someone with a kid/teen that would appreciate a shit ton of X-Men. Selling your childhood funnybooks for $20 will hurt a bit because the non-monetary value is higher than that to you. Giving it to someone that appreciates it feels good.

Stores are currently hiking the price on old comics anyway. I've actually thrown some stuff I can't give away. I bought it before stores tried to pass off comics that are worth 50 cents as two bucks or more.

X-men should be safe. I still have some highlights that haven't been collected like Dodson on GenX. But David X-Factor or Lee/Portacio? That stuff is gone.

He had Greg Capullo. Once you take away the gimmicks and all star collaborators his sales weren't special, see Justice League.

Same kindof story with Tom King. He had David Finch for those early Batbooks that sold really well. Then two years in he got Finch kicked for Mike Janin was what I heard.
 
Nah, Janin was already doing art in first year. I'm too lazy to check now, but from my memory shit started falling apart after fake weeding that was #50 I think. Up until that point King was doing lower sales than Snyder/Capullo, but still rather high + it was double shipping.
 
I can't believe I did read the Cruella manga prequel and enjoyed. The art was quite cool. Still not gonna watch the movie, looks cringe.
 
I've gotta say that the whole Tim clusterfuck has revealed what a NIMBY I've been about the gradually encroaching wokeness at DC. This whole time I've been "Oh, it's only new characters." "Oh, it's just Alan Scott, he's a supporting character at best." "It's Earth Two, that doesn't matter." "Oh, it's just in YA Graphic Novels no one will read."

Then they made Barbara Gordon support Antifa and turned Tim Drake into a homo. I've been so steamed about the latter I haven't even read my copy of Batman 89 yet. I don't even wanna look at DC Comics right now. Yeah kinda MATI.

I once heard someone say, "Snyder exists to waste years of great comic artists time"

yeah it's encroaching.

honestly given how fluid the nature of comics can be, I'm 100% expecting this to get overwritten down the line. Comics have to sell and the past decade has been rather rocky for the big 2. I don't think modern comics from the big 2 get a ton of consoomers or paypigs in the same way WH40k does.

Well, reprints and omnibi aside. DC/Marvel making the comics fit closer to the movies is expected-ish.



Honestly, I don't think it's quite as doomed as culture war shills claim it is, but I think they're not going to be able to maintain pumping out garbage.



there can't be that many Carol Danvers fans.
 
ya'll stop talkin' about faggots for a minute to look at this shit i just found.

was reading Superman Red and Blue. Stories were alright, last one was really funny though. Kid see's superman give a press conference where he reveals his name, another stupid Bendis idea. but kid is inspired to do this.

just felt so sudden and abrupt. why the LGBT symbol look badly photoshopped on his chest?

why we need someone flashin' the faggot flag at me, especially that new design. looks like the trannies are fuckin' invading.

I don't have any issue with the Tim stuff as I said, aside from the execution. just thought this was really funny considering the conversation at hand. like it literally can't get more blatant.

You answered yourself, Bendis, everything he is involved is lazy.

wasn't involved in this, just tied into one of his stupid ideas. but he didn't write it or anything.

also i hate the new LGBT flag. entire fucking point of it being a Rainbow was so it covered everyone of all types, the fact the trannies have to post their stupid fucking symbol directly over it just really says it all, huh?

didn't know being black was a sexuality too.
 
I read Superman and the Authority and though some parts are hard to take, I find the premise interesting: older superman is slowing down and finding that his loss of abilities has left him with regrets about what he didn't achieve at his peak. He's recruited Manchester Black to recruit a team of highly capable colleagues to... make up for lost time? I think he's picking killers and antiheroes to inspire them toward greatness and direct them with his experience, given how he's treating Black? I didn't like how on the nose Natasha Irons' intro was, but it was neat to see Black acknowledge The Authority team as superior to his Elite, given their connection. I dig the art and am waiting to see where this goes.
