So Tom King's writing Batman now. How long until
>Tom King was always shit
>>81180689
3 issues because /co/ hates everything.
Man, first CIA dies in TDKR, then he dies in BvS and now his fans turn against him. Being CIA is suffering.
Tom King was always shit.
There, have I started the fire?
>>81180689
Tom a cute
>>81180722
When will CIA become part of canon?
>>81180689
Depends on how hard he pushes that black Robin kid.
>>81180742
Vision is actually boring and a really on the nose le vertigo horror inspired book but other than that he's great imo.
>couldn't get into Omega Men
>thought Grayson was bland
>kinda dug Vision even though the concept was stupid
I never understood why /co/ sucked his dick so much frankly
>>81180781
King said he's gonna be pushing Dick more.
I hope he does more shit with the family as a whole. That's what the main bat book had missing.
>>81180742
Omega Men is overhyped as fuck.
>>81180811
>King said he's gonna be pushing Dick more.
lol fag.
when he replaced Damian with Duke.then I'll hate him.
Tom King was always shit.
I called THE TURN that week when Vision with the Redskins and the James Bond Grayson issues hit.
I liked Omega Men, but I avoided Grayson because of the art. With Finch and Janin looks like I'll do the same for Batman
>>81180854
yes i agree'
Is there a writer /co/ hasn't turned on?
>>81180891
I can call /co/ turning on people who haven't even written on anything yet. The entire 4chan culture is built on being contrarians. It has to happen eventually.
>>81180689
Tom King was always shit
>>81180914
Neil Gaiman.
>>81180781
"I agree. fuck Duke .
>>81180854
That was Snyder.
>>81180914
I'd say Morrison but he really just has a vocal fandom that sucks his cock at every chance.
Maybe Peter David?
>>81180811
I thought TEC was going to be the family book, despite the writing team proving that they are incompetent at writing those characters in B&RE.
He was always a mediocre thriller writer. Vision was "Desperate Housewives With Robots".
>>81180996
>Implying BRE's failure isn't an exercise in teamwork
I hope King writes his own stuff .
I hope he does not forget ,that's Damain only 10 years old.
>>81181017
ditto
Even if it happens it won't last. We still love Morrison.
>>81181017
Is that his secret? He's just okay, but when compared to the rest of DC's writing staff he appears to be amazing?
He's like if Demon Knights was a person?
>>81180818
Mmmmno. You're wrong.
>>81180914
Mignola
Sim
Denny O'Neil
John Ostrander
>>81180797
>>81180803
>>81180818
>>81180886
>>81181017
Can't even tell if memeing
>>81180976
>That was Snyder.
Is that why /co/ turned on him? And Negro Robin is in King's Batman.
>>81181116
No, there's a vocal fanbase and then people who range from "he's alright" to "the same premise in different settings" to "this guy sucks balls."
>>81181025
If that were the case, then shouldn't somebody be doing a good job in that book?
>>81181316
Valentine is amazing.
>>81181247
Issue 50 of Snyder's run has Batman offering Duke something.
I haven't bothered reading it yet but I assume King is picking up from where Snyder left off.
>>81181335
What parts has he done?
>>81181350
>he
>>81181398
What parts has it done?
>>81181423
>it
>>81181423
Why was that your next guess?
>>81180689
It won't matter. Batman is a shit character and nothing can save him
CIA writing Snyder Batman 2.0 confirmed.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=wj4TC0tb1TU
>>81181477
I'm not going to spend all night playing hair-splitting, gender-name games
>>81181495
He still sells better than your favorite character
>>81180797
We already went through "Tom King was always shit" when he started writing for Marvel and, per DC fanboy rules and regulations, they were forced to hate him.
>>81180811
>King said he's gonna be pushing Dick more.
Sauce
>>81181503
He already said he's going to have Damian in it so he's already anti-Snyder
>>81181316
>>81181335
Even the good writers like Valentine, Seeley, and Orlando pushed out average-at-best issues. Most issues were just shit-tier fill in writers.
It's not a good indicator for Tynion's ability to write the batfamily.
Now Tynion can still go and fuck it up. BRE is garbage. But using a weekly to say he can't do something is a shit excuse. It's a weekly. 52 is the only time it was done well and even good writers fuck them up most of the time. Just look at Future's End.
>>81181538
Yeah he said he's gonna have how Damian feels about the whole thing and that's more than what Snyder's ever done lol
Dick was the only Robin that was allowed to feel in Snyder's runAt least Snyder admits that Dick is his fave Robin
>>81181247
/co/ turned on Snyder because SnyderBat was shit
>>81181514
Genevieve Valentine is a woman as far as I know
>>81181530
Well considering my favorite character is from an indie comic, that's not surprising. Doesn't mean he isn't shit though
Theme for every single Tom King thread from now on
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hW9cCWm53H4
>>81181552
I'm going to be buying TEC regardless of quality, at least for a while, so I hope you're right.
>>81181514
Her name is Genevieve Valentine, anon
>>81181592
Indiean pls
>>81181602
>I'm going to be buying _____ regardless of quality
Why the fuck would anyone do this?
>>81181247
No, /co/ started hating him full force when DOTF ended.
People were irritated over the CoO ending, but mostly said they'd give it one more go to make sure.
Then /co/ hated everything about DOTF and started hating Snyder so much that Zero Year couldn't help it.
>>81181176
>John Ostrander
The first half of his Firestorm was generic and pretty meh and legends was pretty dumb and felt like an excuse to launch Suicide Squad. That's really the worst I can say about him
>>81181631
characterfags
>>81181631I do this with all supergirl related material
>>81181577
Keep memeing.
>>81181631
I swore an oath before God that I would buy any comic that Cass Cain would be in if DC would user her character again. Now I'm stuck.
>>81181631
Characterfags
>>81180811
this is exactly what I'm hoping for. Syder/Capullo pushed out the batfamily too quickly. A+ to more Dick and less Duke.
>>81181688
Court of Owls was ok but just Black Glove Part 2: Now With an Animal Motif, then it all went to pot with Death of the Family
>>81181632
yeah as someone who really had high hopes for Snyder, this sums it up. I knew I was done when I saw the "Joker pretends to take everybody's faces off" thing at the end of DotF.
>>81181701
>less Duke.
Literally on cover desu.
>>81181832
Gordon grew back his hair and mustache pretty quick.
>>81181851
Gordon already had his hairs in Darkseid War.
>>81181893
Johns doesn't give a single fuck about what is happening in other books.
>>81181966
It was always set post DCYou desu.
I never cared for him.
Justification: Eighties Omega Men are the only Omega Men for me. It blew my mind when they defeated the Citadel after only 6 issues and continued from there to regularly subvert and surpass my expectations. Plus I liked that revamp miniseries in the aughts with Vril Dox and the L.E.G.I.O.N.
I haven't read his Vision. Does he even cry?
>>81182214
Have you read the new Omega Men?
>>81181503
He also mentioned TAS Batman as an example of how his writing Batmam.
Also, King mentioned that Finch is drawing one arc, and Janin another arc. Could this mean that WW is not the only book doing two parallel story lines?
>>81182146
The costume that Batman wears disagrees.
Will he pretend Harper Row never existed?
more Dick and Damian and less Duke.
>>81181571
Bruce certainly doesn’t deserve the father of year award.Yeah Batman may be many things but a good father he really isn’t.what the hell ?Damian is 10 years old ? , I think Bruce does not care much for Damian.
>>81185579
>Tom King was always shit.
Tynion, Tom King are Snyder,clones.
>>81181337
>Snyder.
Snyders Dog.Tom King was always shit.
>>81185390
Negro you don't know how DC works.
>>81181690
Ah, a Cassfag. Explains everything.
I like Vision, Grayson and Sheriff is alright so far. Could never get into Omega Men though, maybe cosmic is just not for me.
>>81185744
Cosmic is for everyone. Here's a better Cosmic DC comic:
>>81136214
>>81171665
Also, DC is not your only option for Cosmic Comics.
>>81185731
I never said I was well.
Omega men bores me but I like Vision a lot.
>>81180803
This, King is just another Soule. A writer that has written some pretty good stuff, but nothing great enough to justify LE HYPE TRAIN XD.
I don't give a fuck about the Snyder pets.
>>81180689
How long until
>Batman was gay all along
Can't wait honestly.
>>81186356
>cass42
>42
>>81187535
Oh wow that's actually a really good comparison.
Sometimes I suspect that a lot of posters don't really care for the full breadth of anonymity. There have always been pockets of contempt for King, just as long as there have been pockets of praise; the fact that one is more vocal more often than the other, or that you miss one cluster of posts against him among the ones for him, doesn't mean they're non-existent until now, it just means you have better things to do than lurking on a Mongolian image board 24/7.
That one anon who's patting himself on the back for guessing that the board would turn on King for the intro to Vision #4 might as well form a club with the ones who said /co/ would rip his throat out for the stealthbrag from Grayson, or the early issues of Omega Men, or anything that causes a short burst of bellyaching. They can call it the "MOM'S GONNA FREAK" /co/alition.
>>81181147
>Is that his secret? He's just okay, but when compared to the rest of DC's writing staff he appears to be amazing?
>He's like if Demon Knights was a person?
kek
>>81188011
Is there something wrong with having, at minimum, 42 pics of a character?
>>81180818
It's ok if you just don't like it. It's not popular or selling well enough to be over-hyped.
>>81181337
I thought that was a flashback to Zero Year? His parents were on the couch, not in a cell.
The offer was the learning grant he gave him and the evil black guy
>>81180689
Him and Husbando are currently my favorite writers, I hope they have creative freedom to do whatever they want.
>>81180751
Yeah he is handsome as fuck.
>>81181176
Dave Sim? Are you fucking nuts? People have always hated him here, the four people who have read Cerebus on /co/ (which would be harder to spot if they didn't post the same shit every time it is brought up) aren't the majority.
>>81180751
>>81191728
>>81191817
>the four people who have read Cerebus on /co/
That's way too low an estimate.
Come on, there's got to be at least... I dunno, eight people on /co/ who have read Cerebus?
>>81180818
you are a literal meme
>>81180751
He's been getting a bit fat. Compare his recent appearances to the ones when Grayson was just starting and his guns have been replaced by a gut.
>>81180689
Well: >>81191110
The main problem will be David Finch actually.
>>81190510
Husbando is under Berganza, no his creative freedom is definitely lost.
>>81192393
At least Finch is going to have a good colorist.
I hope the inking is better so it doesn't look so smudged.
>>81191817
They think he's an asshole but his work is pretty well praised.
>>81192604
Praised by who?
How many people on /co/ do you think are willing to read a comic that's
>not from Marvel or DC
>not about superheroes
>not even American
>not colored
>from the seventies
>politically controversial
>long, really long, 300 issues long
?
It's everything that 99% of /co/ avoids.
>>81192739
...are we on the same website?
>>81192778
Notice that we're having this discussions in a Tom King thread, not a Cerebus thread.
Tom King comics are
>from Marvel and DC
>mostly about superheroes
>American as fuck
>colorful
>current
>politically safe
>short runs from publishers who relaunch constantly because long runs suffer from reader attrition
Everything that /co/ loves, basically.
>>81192926
I know him from his fewer and generally better noncape comics. I think you might just be projecting to feel superior.
>>81193055
You think the majority of /co/ comic readers are like you? Also he literally has one non cape comic which is published through Vertigo.
Omg...I feel like I want to cry. I heard Is it really true that Bruce going to trained duke like? To become Robin?! Shit! Then What Damian to him anyway?!
>>81193055
It's not about feeling superior or inferior.
Some comics on /co/ are popular, some comics on /co/ are unpopular. Some people like X, some people like Y. You're living in a delusion if you think that all comics are equally popular on /co/ and that all /co/mrades read the same comics.
It's okay to be different, Anon, and you don't have to be ashamed of reading something that most other people haven't read.
>>81181247
I didn't like his Superman haven't actually read much else by him
>>81192032
That's actually pretty savage to the rest of DC's writers
>>81188986
When that character is an overated piece of generic dog shit then yes
>>81192393
David Finch as a writer has been on a comic that sold more than 50,000 units.
>>81192505
the inker worked with him before on Batman: The Return
