So, essentially, you disagree with the thesis of a book you don't read, and have therefore decided the writing is lazy and stupid.

Hey now! The best comics are Moore's Swamp Thing and Robinson's Starman…which are 46 issues and 86 issues, respectively.

Yeah, they've been sucked dry over the last few years.

It's actually a fundamentally optimistic argument.

In fairness, most of Image's non-BKV heavy hitters come from the Marvel NOW! class of 2008-2013.

Yeah, stories need to have a beginning, middle and end…but they don't need to have a prescribed length.

Gillen's JiM has nothing to do with Fear Itself. Read it.

Yeah, it was so tone-deaf of them to have their embodiment of the American Dream become subverted by a group peddling fear and hatred of "the other" in an attempt to reassure those who have been left behind by neoliberalism!

I guess I just don't know that many boys with B cups.

Considering the post-Trump Captain America comic that they're publishing, I'm not sure the issue is Marvel's balls.

It's not that baffling when you look at how shitty the New 52 Superman was.

I really enjoyed Ellis's Astonishing (following up on Whedon's), as well as Fraction and Gillen's runs. Bendis's Uncanny was a pretty solid attempt to fix what AvX did to Scott, as well.

You know that he also had a ~20 issue run before Schism (and all the AVX bullshit), right?

You can find most of the Comics Should Be Good crew at Atomic Junk Shop!

Eye of the Camera was pretty solid, though.

Yup! He's doing five issue "seasons," so I'm going month to month.

Yeah! Can you imagine Marvel doing a book where their Universe's embodiment of the American dream has been subverted and poisoned by an ideology of fear and hatred?!

They committed collective suicide because Angel (and Wesley, and Gunn, and Illyria) were too worn down to fight anymore.

Reading the recap, it sounds like the final issues of Ennis's Hellblazer.

The show named "Angel" ends with everyone dying in an alley because the world has ground them down so much that they don't even want to fight anymore.
