It's multiple arcs, and Goyer's confirmed that he wants to adapt material that's similarly fucked up (The Dangerous Habits arc, which involves angels being monstrous, a lot of grim death, etc) so who knows?

To be honest I'm kind of overloaded on offense what with the homophobes, sexists and other dickbags upvoting me right now. Everything is awful.

Dude, fuck you.

I wouldn't have responded to this, but I find you putting words in my mouth kind of really fucking offensive.

As I said earlier, I don't really want to engage too much with criticism of these pieces because so much of it seems misogynist and shitty.

While we're talking about freaks… uh, what is the normal finger to palm ratio? I mean if you too the length from my middle finger tip to my hand and then applied that to the tip of my palm on it'd be basically at the base of my wrist.

I really don't think America can do Constantine right. No American comics writer has. The regional and class conflicts of the UK are integral to the character, but they're largely lost on western writers. Hence the decision by Brian Azzarello to largely separate him from his broader context.

Yeah it kind of was, and I guess I have to own that.

No, I was asking you to explain why her emotions, as expressed, are interesting and relevant. The internet is full of people splashing their emotions out over everything with badly written prose, and I don't see what sets these pieces apart from that.

E: Actually, you know what? I kinda get the feeling I'm being upvoted by dickbags. I'm gonna drop this whole line of conversation.

So what you're saying is that pieces being interesting or insightful doesn't actually matter as long as they get a lot of hits? I mean I guess that's a reason to keep it around but it doesn't really help the brand much, does it?

Also I'd hasten to add that if you can't articulate what's interesting about it beyond huffing and puffing? There's probably not anything genuinely interesting about it. So maybe it's a circle jerk? Who knows!

It's a kind of a meta-comment? I'm less commenting on the column, than like, on the fact that the AV Club is investing money in this column? I mean, it seems to me like that'd be obvious since I'm not addressing what she's actually wrote about, because it's painfully banal, but apparently you don't get that?

No, see, I can understand how football is appealing to people even if I don't like the sport, but I can't understand how this column appeals to people. I really don't see what sets it apart from a college rap session. I don't see anything novel, or interesting in what she writes, and I don't see anything communicated…

Most people are profoundly uninteresting. That's why we're polite enough to keep our profoundly uninteresting remembrances to ourselves rather than trying to pass them off as comedy on the internet.

I'm gay as butt heck and that's a huge part of my identity and I still don't get the appeal of these pieces. I go on her twitter and it's incredibly bad jokes that seem almost deliberately unfunny. Hence my worry that she's some kind of queer anti-comic genius I just don't get because I haven't seen her live.

Who actually likes these? I am legitimately curious. I don't think Esposito's articles are bad, exactly, but it just turns into a wall of unfunny white noise for me. The kind of thing I'd write if I were mixing vodka and uppers, and I'm a thoroughly uninteresting person. They're not funny or insightful, and I really—…

Fuck you. I hope your prostate turns into a swarm of bees.

Honestly it depends. It sounds like they're going for a less overtly horrific tone, which would make the translation easier.

Aguirre-Sacasa's basically at the forefront of a creative renaissance at Archie Comics. After Kupperberg proved you could use the cahracters to do a good soap, Aguirre-Sacasa one-upped him with Afterlife with Archie and the new Sabrina comics, which are just brilliant horror/dark fantasy tales.
