Good evening owls of /co/,
You might ask, can it get worse than last night?
Sure!
Good

Drinking game: shot for every would-be badass cliche that comes out of Slade's mouth, management not responsible for any liver damage resulting

Here's last night's thread for those of you who want to see a woman incinerate a guy with her vagina:
>>77932518
>>77958016
Boyoboy it's time for the gratuitous Bat-related issue!
>>77958050
Deepest realization last night: sadness that no one seems to write a "continuity heavy ultra violent fuckfest" and make it GOOD
>>77958123
Or, alternately:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeYsTmIzjkw
>>77958170
Well if you're writing a ultra violent fuckfest, you kind of have to make it OUT of continuity since most characters are either going to be dead or hilariously out of character by the end of it.
>>77958193
Or push the reset button, that can always be fun!
Ray is VERY SAD he is in this comic.
>>77958170
Midnighter is like, 80% there? It uses continuity better than several other solos despite not needing to.
But it has a sense of humor, disqualified.
>>77958129
>who want to see a woman incinerate a guy with her vagina
>>77958170
Infinity Gauntlet?
>>77958170
>>77958225
Is this Doris? This is a shit Doris, Wallace.
>>77958225
Ray deserves better than this shit.
He also deserved better than Cry for Justice.
At least Brandon Routh is fun in Arrow right now (even though his character is really supposed to be Ted Kord)
>>77958225
Anon who came late to storytime also said, accurately:
>God, this was so awful. I now understand why there are older readers who like Lobdell and Hopeless: compared to this their runs are harmless
>>77958231
Wonderful violent Middy
when is HE going to meet Mera, hmm?

Ultra violent league when? Who else on it?
>>77958016
Hello Storyteller.
So what the hell dos this have to do with Brightest Day aside from Osiris' angst?
>>77958262
I teared up at Scott's last TT issue.
They even recreated Bar-Torr's escape from NOWHERE
>>77958291
Guy Gardner's always down for busting some skulls.
>>77958231
I don't see how being funny keeps it from being an ultraviolent fuckfest.
>>77958359
I prefer my ultraviolent fuckfests with humor too.
>>77958296
They were tagging a lot of the books that spun out of that status quo with the heading, Krul's shitty Green Arrow was as well
Hey 21JQQQISJ5WAY, do you have an address listed? Doesn't seem to be working.
>>77958291
Oldbo, sniffle
>>77958315
Guy's actually not that violent next to Team Actual Murder.
I'd say Zealot, but that would be too easy. Give meJared
>>77958259
No, it's some other chick. I'm not read up on Ryan Choi but I'm assuming Giganta doesn't show up in this because she could actually have helped Ryan.
>>77958390
Roy's getting his rapeface on!
>>77958392
Zealot is obligatory on any ultraviolence team.
Jared is too avoidant for the team, much as I love him.
>>77958439
NURSERY CRYME?
>Nursery Cryme is the third studio album from the English rock band Genesis, released in November 1971 on Charisma Records.
Christ, that IS a hanging offense.
https://twitter.com/TomKingTK/status/673260532347084800
At least he can joke about it
>>77958408
>Giganta fucking up Cheshire and Deathstroke
I need this
>>77958488
>Giganta riverdancing on Chesire's face forever
>>77958471
Damn it Roy
>>77958471
Isn't Slipknot, like, a nü metal band?
>Sweet Jesus, what am I becoming?
Sadly no one in Editorial stopped to think that.
>>77958471
Nursery Crimes is also a pretty great book series that I recommend.
It's literally crime noir set with Mother Goose characters.
>>77958527
Is this dude all "I don't care if you kill a few prisoners?"
>>77958527
Is that plot? Remorse? Can't have that, RIP Tats.
>>77958541
Okay, this has to be some intentional comedy of misreadings
>>77958488
I got to meet Tom King at a signing earlier this year. He's a super chill guy in real life.
>>77958561
One guard with a ridiculous trigger like that?
Oh, it's Arkham, the worst-run prison ever, right
>>77958561
Osiris is so off his rocker right now that I think we're supposed to read him as the prison guard sees him.
Even though he was probably right about to end the conversation and walk off.
>>77958613
Roy: I'm high, everything is fun now!
>>77958408
>>77958488
>>77958518
It would be so nice if Doris were allowed to do something cool for once. Alas, people tend to only acknowledge her for villainous group shots.
>>77958624
For real, why would they prioritize attacking Deathstroke when they could all just book it?
>>77958262
I don't know why but Ray saying that line with such serious determination is cracking me up.
>>77958624
is that Killer Moth? And Dr. Phosphorus, isn't he like cancer from being within five feet of him?
>>77958628
There are two villain team books right now. She should be in one of them. ;_;
>>77958658
Oh, duh, Firefly
>>77958678
Ooh, who's there...
>>77958690
SNAP!
(Sobek ate Osiris. It was pretty shocking.)
>>77958666
You'd think she'd at least be in the current Secret Six, since Simone herself is writing it... alas, no.
>>77958690
FOR YOU
>>77958720
Dude, the roster is already two whole teams plus guests. Gail can't prop up every villain on her own.
>>77958703
Is it just me or is he checking out Slade's pecs?
>>77958766
>>77958777
Dickbats or not Dickbats?
>>77958794
That's a shot, drinkers
>>77958794
He has a dick, alright...
>>77958794
>beltbuckle
>two scallops
Dickbats.
Or at least it should be
>>77958794
DickBats. I think that's his belt buckle.
hey thread, how's things
i've spent all day on shadow of mordor, i kinda forgot to read comics. :(
>>77958744
Well the Finches certainly aren't going to give the Wonder rogues anything to do....
>>77958653
Because all of our minds immediately go to dirty, dirty places.
>>77958825
FUGAZI?
>A word that means 'fake' in Italian slang and has been mistaken for the military acronym 'fubar' (fucked up beyond all recognition) by kids who like a punk band.
I'm losing it, now
>>77958832
Actually they said they're going to listen to those people, so Cheetah is in an upcoming issue. And I think they said somebody else is too but I can't remember who.
>>77958703
Fuck I remember reading 52 for the first time, and just putting the book down and staring at the wall for a good long while when that happened.
>>77958854
I take it then that the editor was playing the drinking game?
>>77958864
It actually had one hell of a punch to it
>>77958823
Been chilling around in the Secret Santa thread all day. I think I'm done running contests in there though, I'm about at the end of my budgetand a little burnt out on playing Christmas carols at the moment.
>>77958898
I don't have the faintest idea what Editorial could have been doing through this shitfest.
>>77958898
>editor - rex ogle
This guy had the misfortune of being a TT editor since 2003.
>>77958932
>I don't even know you
Poor Croc
Always jobbing
>>77958908
It was a million times worse when I re-read it after reading Johns' JSA with Black Adam in it.
He could've been redeemed. He could've left it all behind and lived a nice happy life with his family. But no, Johns must have us suffer instead.
>>77958932
I think they were drunk and/or high. It does make for an intriguing mess though.
>>77958863
>keep bitching that nobody uses the Wonder rogues
>the Finches plan on using the, which will most likely not end well
.... The term "monkey's paw" comes to mind.
>Cheetah
Barbara, being an evil archaeologist, is at least hard to fuck up, in theory.
>>77958932
>>77958949
He was probably answering to someone else, but he has a lot to answer for himself, then
>>77958979
AN ACTUAL JOKE!!!!
>>77958854
How do you mix up FUBAR and FUGAZI? FUBAR stands for Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition, FUGAZI would stand for...Fucked Up Guy At Ze Infirmary?
>>77958999
Is that a prison gangrape joke?
>>77959004
I can't help reading it as FUGHAZI.
>>77959033
or just a standard "don't stick your dick in a walking pile of STDs" joke
>>77958999
>>77959015
That's supposed to be Jane Doe, right
I remember her from Manhunter stuff I think
>>77958932
I love how Killer Croc is confused about this random kid givin' him guff. Poor bastard.
Incidentally, intelligent swamp gangster Croc is best Croc. Dumb Croc can be funny, but hard to take seriously as an antagonist.
>>77959061
yep, she was in that Manhunter backup
>>77959068
nuCroc is pretty good, he just wants to protect his sewer people. He's Roy's sponsor, for fuck's sake.
>>77958390
21JQQQISJ5WAY here, d'oh, i fixed it.
>>77959107
Maybe SeeKing could write a decent Slade and Dick plot
may they not have to, any time soon
>>77959098
Hobo King Croc was one of the best Villain's Month issues
Along with Dial E and Parasite

>>77959226
>YOU'RE GETTING OLD SLADE
I think he knew that a long time agobut he banged that teenage girl anyway
>>77959259
So, so much.
>>77959259
>not using the vagina
>>77959259
Have you ever storytimed Odyssey OP?
>>77959287
Oh my god, it's evil pedo Willie Nelson
this is not fucking okay
>>77958971
>Barbara, being an evil archaeologist, is at least hard to fuck up, in theory.
Sure, just write Belloq, but with tits.
>>77958261
>He also deserved better than Cry for Justice.
He also deserved better than Countdown. I don't really know much about Ray or the Atom in general, but apparently the universe hates him
>>77959259
Everything would be improved by being Batman: Odyssey.
Speaking of crazy shit, when is Coming of the Supermen supposed to come out?
>>77959334
Early next year I think.
>>77959259
>first panel
Oh, that is one of the most annoying ways to shill a character's "awesomeness", having their enemies talk up how cool they are.
>>77959333
He was one of the few good parts of Futures End at least!
>Best Watch ongoing never ;_;
>>77959287
> Nursery Cryme
Okay that's a good name
>>77959365
>bestwatch has no stormwatch characters
Only because of the quality of the cast, I'll allow it.
>>77958932
No Osiris, he's Killer Croc, he really just wants to be left alone.
>>77959307
I have not. My brain might genuinely explode.
>>77959397
Bestwatch makes me sad because none of its good parts are presently in play, either
>>77959405
You ever read it, tho? It's not that kind of bad.
It's like pure pleasure your brain doesn't know how to understand.
>>77959331
I've always been partial to describing her as evil Lara Croft, but Belloq with tits works too.
She did start by trying to steal the Lasso after all.
>There is nothing you can acquire that I cannot take away.
>>77959068
I kind like "Just leave me alone." Croc. Mostly because of that one story where he gets manipulated by that one criminal couple.
>>77959439
Oh yeah, it's just that the sustained attention that storytiming takes, it's the kind of thing where brain is all TOO MUCH BEEP BOOP
>>77959504
Indiana Jones (or Lara Croft, or Uncharted...) with Wonder Woman would be pretty fun. Give her a chance to bounce off of different cultures and histories rather than just being in America all the time.
>>77959544

OH, in the ANAD Betting Pool:
Red Wolf, how many issues, considering the diversity press online panned it. 6?
>>77959566
It's a goddamn shame she hasn't shown up in anything recently, but DC seems to have abandoned developing most of their magic side of things ever since Trinity of Sin failed, and now Gotham by Midnight is dead too.
Speaking of things DC will never follow up on WHERE'S MY GODDAMN BLACK AND BLUE ONGOING, DIDIO.
>>77959429
Don't they have some kind of facility for teenage supervillains? Because who sends a kid to Arkham, I'm pretty sure half the inmates there eat babies.

gets worse!

>>77959688
And Frank likes harps. >>77957673
>>77959619
Especially sucks since NuGemworld had a fairly consistent and interesting magic system.
Poor Amy had one of the better books of the initial launch. Shame it was so expensive.
>>77959766
It was Marvel pricing for more pages.

Dive ass-first into Clayface's mouth.

HOW COULD IT GET WORSE FROM HIS DEATH THE FIRST TIME AROUND
>>77959854
Surely there was a better and easier way than going into Clayface's mouth
>>77959854
The very thing of nightmares....
>>77959854
Trying to get Clayface high?
>>77959902
Maybe Clayface is like Stealth, and you can get high off him
>>77959886
There's some degree of dignity in death, no matter how gruesome or dehumanizing. There's no dignity in this book.
>>77959715
>Slade and the others were never Titans. They deserve whatever happens to them
Osiris is now the only likeable character on this team

This COULDN'T be the plot of "Am I still an okay guy if I kill that helpless villain", could it?
>>77960057
maybe he finally learned not to stick his dick in crazy
It just hit me, Deathstroke is the Boba Fett of the DCU.
>>77960028
People say the Joker is just pointless edge, and that's usually how stories with him go nowadays but there's nothing about him that fundamentally requires him to be edgy. Zsasz very core and concept as a character is pointless edge that just makes Batman look retarded for not killing.
>>77960131
Originally cool then overhyped and debased?
>>77960131
Nah, Fett at least jobs when it's appropriate.
>>77958527
Everyone likes MVW, but Ink seems pretty cool to me.
>>77960159
Zsasz is basically redundant now that Joker is basically him but gayer.

>>77960161
Pretty much.
>>77960162
I mean, there's a story where he gets thrown around by Vader but there's also one where he gets into a lightsaber battle with him and survives, so it kinda evens out.
>>77960216
Those boxes fading to white are a horrible design choice
>>77960188

>how are you owls?
Doing fine. This is the first "Owls" storytime I've been in (Besides the first set of issues of this). Just eating some pulled pork and listening to the Bubblegum Crisis OST

>>77960418
>>77960421
Wiki sez yes, but also in OT
>The biblical phrase "an eye for an eye" in Exodus and Leviticus (עין תחת עין, ayin tachat ayin) literally means 'an eye in place of an eye' while a slightly different phrase (עַיִן בְּעַיִן שֵׁן בְּשֵׁן, literally "eye for an eye; tooth for a tooth") is used another passage (in Deuteronomy) of the Jewish Bible, specifically, in the first of its three subdivisions, the Torah.[8][9][10] For example, a passage in Leviticus states, "And a man who injures his countryman -- as he has done, so it shall be done to him [namely,] fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Just as he has injured a person, so it shall be done to him." (Lev. 24:19–21)
>>77960453

>>77960426

Is that Gun for real?
His trigger discipline sure isn't.

>>77960453
>In Isis' name.
OH! I just realized who Osiris reminds me of. Mithos from Tales of Symphonia. It's only a matter of time til the kid founds some insane religion around his sister.
>>77960569
I JUST TOOK MY CAPE OFF.
>>77960562
Should be easy, considering she's already named after a goddess!

>>77960618
>All we need is art of him in that mech that Mithos is in during his final fight and we're good
The hell WAS that mech anyway? I mean, it's clearly a combination of those weird minibosses you fight all over Deris Karlan, but... why?
Symbolic enemies are such a headache.
>>77960716
Might be an homage to another Billy vs Adam fight.
>>77960744
>Symbolic enemies are such a headache.
You'd get a kick out of Persona, or SMT as a whole. From what I've played of that series (Which isn't that much), it's all about the fucking symbolism.
>>77960714
I...I just can't go any further.
Godspeed owls. I'm gonna read some Thomas/Buscema Conan until I feel clean again.

Wasn't that the last arc Johns did before BN
>>77961038

>>77961061

Johns Titans isn't incompetent, it's just obviously Editorially dictated and racked by unproductive nostalgic mandates
