Random Shit Dealing With Comics

[Captain Russ]

I am sort of curious how effectively turning him into J'onn is going to help.

[Timothy225]

Answer's simple. It won't.

DC's taking a hell of a risk, that's for sure, which is cool. But the way they're doing it is what's got folks up-in-arms. Screams of half-assery.

[Captain Russ]

I find the direction they're taking his cousin could be intredasting.

Hell, it could be downright hilarious in a latter-day Frank Miller sort of way.

[Timothy225]

Agreed - that character's got some potential, sort of where I wished they went a few years back when they reintroduced her.

[Abraham Smashington]

I love it when creators talk shop, and even more, when they offer insight.

Chew bro doing it (though updates have ceased, it's still a fun example).

And somewhat related to the field. This guy is just flat-out awesome.

sweet. that chew stuff is great.

[Captain Russ]

No.

Fucking.

Way.

WTF, why doesn't he throw a fortune cookie at the monkey's head and be done with it?

[Captain Russ]

Apparently, this monkey ain't fucking around.

Marvel beat the Kirby estate.

Next stop: Supreme Court.

or The Kirby Estate could just get their DC money.

[Captain Russ]

Teh fook?

[Anderson]

Teh fook?

Apparently, ol' Jack should've read what he signed.

[Captain Russ]

That sucks.

[Timothy225]

I feel bad for the Kirby estate. Technically, yeah, Marvel's right, as Kirby was doing "work for hire" back in the day, which I can relate to as an artist/art director myself. Company's paying you to create stuff for them.

However, it'd be a show of respect and decency if Marvel/Disney would pay the estate at least an annual stipend or something (similar to what DC wound up doing with Siegel and Shuster back in the late 70s (?) when the Superman movie came out), as the Marvel Universe would likely not even exist without Kirby's imagination. Same with his work with the New Gods at DC.

Anyone use Comixology? Been debating using it to catch up on some stuff, but I'm a bit leery.

[Captain Russ]

It isn't the worst thing I've ever read in my entire life*, but it is accompanied by art that would be right at home on the table blanketed with butcher paper found in a Macaroni Grill.
