Dude used to drive me crazy, now I either ignore him or just fuck with him.

I feel like if he was alive today, you’d be anti-Jack Kirby if he wasn’t sucking off Marvel because you’re all about sucking off your preferred comic company.

It has been fun. Have a good day. Or night. Or whatever.

I can respect your opinion and completely disagree with it.

A rock star is about more than being in a rock band and selling a lot of records. It’s about being larger than life. It’s about being someone that everyone talks about. It’s about spectacle. Chris Cornell was a person who was in two successful band, but did anyone clamor to read interviews from him? Was he a larger…

Is Justin Bieber a rock star? Selling records doesn’t a rock star make. Ozzy Osbourne is a rock star. Bowie was a rock star. Jagger is a rock star. Marilyn Manson is a rock star. Chris Cornell is a musician.

Wow, four mainstream books? You guys okay? I know you don’t often like to give mere superhero books any props.

Hell Yeah.

Blame the Silver Age; the story of DC’s Silver Age is gonzo stories for children with crazy sci-fi shit and weird spectacle based crimes. At the same time, Marvel was going a little more “realistic”. Marvel still has some ridiculous shit, but not nearly as much as DC.

I hope we get Chrono Trigger.

Most of his best stuff involves Wolverine in some way, shape, or form.

AV Club’s well known indie book bias strikes again. It strikes so hard they forget a bunch of bunch of Image books that are written by guys who started in mainstream books- Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie’s The Wicked + The Divine, Jonathan Hickman and Nick Dragotta’s East Of West, and Fiona Avery and Brian K.…

Kumba?

I’ll always be of the opinion that Lee was only as good as his collaborators because they did most of the work. Calling him an excellent writer is a bit of stretch. It’s hard to even quantify what were his ideas and what were ideas of the others involved. The best that can be said of him was that he a great pitch man…

Yeah, but Daredevil and the Incredible Hulk, especially back then, kind of suck. Mostly Daredevil. Hulk is okay, he just has the worst fanboys.

I’ve read it hundreds of time and I love it dearly, but yeah,it’s a tad overrated. The book gets a lot of credit for being so complex and mature, but Moore had been doing stuff like that in Swamp Thing as well. It’s just the first book that got noticed because it didn’t have years of continuity behind it that was…

The weird thing is I still like this movie. As an older comic fan, I’m used to Hollywood coming in and fucking things up a little (I mean, they still do it with the MCU, as much as its legion of uneducated casuals who have never read a comic book like to believe they don’t because continuity is new and shiny to them). …

Here’s a better way of putting it, then- without those three, what stories reached the heights of when they were together? None of the ones you listed. They are good stories, but nothing on the same level as Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Thor, or Doctor Strange. On just the strength of those…

I’ve always felt it disingenuous to praise someone when they die without also pointing out that they were humans and did shitty things. Lionizing someone after death and glossing over terrible things they did is basically cutting off a whole section of who they are. I can’t sit here and say I’m not sad to see him go-…

So, when is the time? When he was alive, no one cared. Now that he’s dead. no one wants to hear it. So, when is a good time to acknowledge he wasn’t this saintly old man he became, but someone who created a system (the Marvel Method) where he did much less work than his collaborators but still took all of the credit?
