Of all people.
But which one
>>81311351
>of all people
What does that mean?
>>81311281
True, thinking it over, I think close-minded is not the right term, but sometimes, if the whole world is telling you you're wrong, it just might be you are actually wrong. Not even acknowledging this possibility, planting yourself in the ground, is not very wise.
>>81311351
DOesn't Miller want tp write a Cap story?
>>81311376
I never expected him to write a good Cap. Kind of reminds me that Garth Ennis can write a good Superman.
>>81311155
This is pretty much the definition of being an ignorant fuck. It's pretty american. But is just terrible.
>>81311399
Might be, but that's not always the case. Getting caught up in sensationalism and a mob mentality isn't a good way to go either.
>>81311075
Captain Boomerang is fucking badass Jesus.
What could he do if he had a real weapon? We need a What If story where he gets a Laser boomerang or something.
>>81311471
He's kinda a one trick pony but all his time with fighting Flash has made him an expert at it.
>>81311417
Has Ennis ever actually written a Superman story? Like, not just a story where Superman shows up and is a total bro compared to every other cunt in a cape?
>>81311075
This issue was an amazing look into Boomerang, first he just kills this kid and jokes about it and then he lets a team mate die because she made everyone laugh at him.
>>81311488
Just the thought of facing down one of the most powerful super heroes in existence, with one of the least impractical weapons ever, that is extra super impractical since it's slower than the guy he's trying to hit is amazing.
Where is my Captain Boomerang kills the DC universe?
>>81311417
Speaking of which . . .
>>81311507
He's written at least one Superman story, IIRC (the one where he tries to train Sixpack the Drunken Hobo to be a true superhero instead of a homicidal drunk in a costume).
>>81311556
To be fair, when you're the Flash, every weapon is too slow to hit you. Might as well pick the one that's the most fun at that point.
>>81311507
I don't think so, but then again, Frank's never done a Captain America story aside from cover work.
>>81311488
He's literally a psychotic australian shitposter with a boomerang.
>>81311075
Such a great page.
>>81311556
Dude, Boomerangs in comics are OP. Did you know Boomerang was originally a Hulk villain?
>>81311609
>If Captain Boomerang were real he'd shitpost on /k/ about how boomerangs a re the best weapon there is
>>81311008
>>81311155
>bests sums up a character.
You're both wrong.
>>81311655
Had to bump him up to Flash so it wouldn't be so one sided. Holy shit.
>>81311605
Yeah, but I don't think Miller has a fairly famous "all superheroes are cunts except Captain America" adtitude.
>>81311660
>if he was real he'd post youtube videos about how to use a Boomerang to it's up most potential
>implying that every single person on the internet wouldn't watch
>>81311581
Also, while I know I perfectly summed up Superman already, here's one that covers both him and his supporting cast.
>>81311655
CAPTAIN Boomerang was always a Flash villain (stints in the Suicide Squad notwithstanding). Marvel's Boomerang started out as a Hulk villain, but later gravitated toward Captain America, Daredevil, and Spider-Man.
>>81311008
That same story has a nice summation of J. Jonah Jameson too.
>>81311655
Yeah and Captain Boomerang is much better than Boomerang since he can become a human Boomerang.
>>81311427
>You're ignorant for not jumping off this cliff, everybody else did.

>>81311750
He'd totally be a Boomerang-based version of this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEG-ly9tQGk
>>81311605
I think the closest thing that Miller did of writing a Captain America was making a plot about Steve investigating a series of arson attacks and finding out the culprit was a corrupt fireman. The story ended up fully developed by Roger Stern though.
>>81311960
This applies also as a response.

Boomerang is one of my favorite rogues, because he is literally the coldest motherfucker there is. He will fuck over the entire planet if it means he gets something he likes.
>>81311155
Definitely not this one. It's ignorant and is oddly enough opposite of Cap's usual beliefs.

Yeah, generally speaking, the more concise the better. I'll go with something that manages to sum up Cap with a single bubble and eight words instead of a cribbed Mark Twain quote.
I fucking love Black Manta so much
>>81311008
>>81311059
>>81311770
I don't really understand why boomerang is a flash villian.
I mean like he can catch bullets right? He could at the very least fuck up the trajectory of the boomerangs mid flight.
>>81312721
Source or dl link?
>>81315307
Flash is vulnerable to getting hit from behind, which is Boomerangs main tactic.
>>81311155
"river of truth"
uh, sure.
OP is about not being a blind tool of authority, but this is just about being obstinate and self-confirming.
>>81311183
Then why did you verbally bring it up, Batman?
To hear yourself talk?
>>81311830
To be fair, if you're standing on a bridge and all your friends jumped off of it, what's more likely: that your friends are all idiots, or that the bridge is on fire?
>>81315910
I think I can decide for myself if a bridge is on fire or not. It would visibly be on fire wouldn't it?

>>81316549
Some of those are pretty amazing bullets right there, considering that Frank would have had to have his hand 12 feet in the air for its trajectory to work based on perspective.
>>81316571
>Dude don't gas the jews
>Um, Hanz, like everyone in Germany thinks it's a great idea. Maybe you're just being stubborn.

>>81312964
I never understood what's so uplifting about this page. "You're stronger than you think you are" is not a good enough thing to say to someone depressed
>>81316571
>>81316772
The point I think the guy saying it's ignorant is trying to say is more along the lines of the thinking Anti-Vaccers are picking up can be defended with that Civil War quote while the Miller quote is simply just against not blindly following orders.
>>81317012
Actually every time I read this page makes me literally cry and makes me feel just a little bit better. Having the perfect and most busy man to ever exist, to you maybe even omniscient, fly up to you and tell you you're worth it and so much stronger than you know even though you feel like you're a piece of shit and just want to die, that would be enough. It wouldn't cure your depression and that's not what the page is implying. It would do what Superman is supposed to do first and foremost: give you hope.
>>81317118
Well, I can understand that if coming from Superman, but I don't expect it to work if coming from an average joe.
>>81311556

Of course not in most situations. Although sometimes just hearing it from somebody can be enough albeit not if you're already on a ledge. You ever call a suicide hotline by the way? It'll ring for up to a minute sometimes and then they'll typically be short with you and sound like they're rolling their eyes. Almost always young girls and maybe it's just a resume builder or some shit since it's obvious they don't give two shits or really even listening.
Fun fact: Seconds before James Holmes shot up 4U: The Motion Picture he called a crisis hotline to talk him out of it. The other side of the line disconnected his call after nine seconds without even answering.

Seriously though. People always point out all this indie shit or Morrison/Moore/Miller to prove that the medium is a serious art form which can be true but I live for shit like this. Just batshit insane things that absolutely nobody could take with a straight face in the real world. Imagine if instead of dealing with ISIS right now we had to this motherfucker.
>>81321312
The fact that side of the brain is pulling up real equations rather than gibberish you accept as an equation is a big deal.
>>81322627
I've said it before, but a huge thing I love about comics is how it can all somehow exist together. The real and the absurd, the mighty and the weak, the dark and the light, etc etc. It's just fun that next to a being like Darkseid can stand Captain Carrot, or Howard the Duck and Frank Castle, and it's all together somehow.
>>81318084
That was the best part.
It was so imaginative, you had no fucking clue what was going to happen.
With that much compartmentalization you also had an entire story in a single issue.

Frank to me is summed up in a single panel of dialogue.
"I'd like to get my hands on God sometimes"
>>81325290
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, babies suddenly dying for no reason anyone can tell.
Its something that happens in real life. When the titular Sandman was spending some time with his sister for some mental clarity, she dealt with one of those cases.
Its worth noting Sandman Death doesn't actually kill people, her job is to show up and bring them to wherever they are supposed to go next depending on a LOT of factors.
Mainly whatever you believe is where you go. A small child who's father told him he was worthless and evil and died went to hell because he was full of guilt, brainwashed Nazi SS went to purgatory (they were kept out of heaven) because they didn't believe they had done anything wrong. When asked about why good people go to hell and evil people don't, Death responds "That's the system they came up with, not mine".
>>81325232
So, what, you're upset the character didn't launch into a speech about how everyone is judged separately according to arbitrary variables they couldn't possibly understand due to being mortals or some other hollow gay bullshit? Death comes for you. That's about as pure as you can get.
>>81325308
What point? That's something that happens in real life. He's not trying to sell you on some moral lesson, he's showing his character doing their job.
When you have a character who is the grim reaper, are you going to only show them taking old people and super villains? Or just hang around doing nothing all the time?
Or are you going to have the balls to show a character who takes EVERYONE?

>>81325376
So you go wherever you believe you'll go? Interesting. Also I believe Sudden Infant Death Syndrome has something to do with babies sleeping on their backs.

I find this oddly comforting, and even more oddly, a lot more believable than the "You do good, you go to heaven and you do bad, you go to hell" ideology

>>81324789
Wataminute... is that the defining post for Dick or Bruce?
>>81325477
Its suspected that it has something to do with babies being on their backs, but nobody is sure.
Also, in Sandman every story ever told or fable ever believed in is true, in a sense. Every afterlife really exists, and the people who believe in them go to them if their own believed-in beings will take them. Different afterlives can dispute or war over who gets what soul. Its not clear what comes first, belief or existence.
Sandman is pretty conceptual in a lot of ways, heavy on the multiverse except instead of going to different dimensions within a multiverse its a flat out "everything is true, somewhere".
Judeo-Christian hell and the omnipotent God exists. Heaven and Hell both exist.
Are they supreme? Is Abrahamic the real truth? Who knows! Because the Greek and Egyptian pantheons exist too, and seem just as real and true as everyone else does.
The Endless, universal concepts become anthropomorphic entities, are merely aspects of what they are. You can dream without Dream. Desire still goes on whether Desire is manipulating or not. Destruction completely abdicated his post, and Destruction still continues to happen although its more chaotic and random without him.
Seriously, read that shit.
>>81325376
They mention atheists?
>>81325529
Can't say that I know, sorry lad
>>81325553
More of the defining moment of what Dick as Nightwing originally was.
>>81325582
I honestly don't remember, it's been so long since I've read it. I have to dig my copies out again.
Here's some anecdotes about Sandman though.
>Sandman gives flesh to concepts like dream, desire and destiny, but it is really about stories and the people who tell them. "Three Septembers and a January," a tale about not giving in to despair, stars Abraham Joshua Norton, self-proclaimed Emperor of the United States of America and part of San Francisco legend. A perky anthropomorphized female Death, based on a kabbalistic description of the Angel of Death, comes to claim the Jewish Norton at the end of the story: "They say the world rests on the backs of... 36 unselfish men and women," Death, a popular character in an extremely popular series, tells him. "Because of them the world continues to exist."...
>One of the greatest story arcs, and most memorable for me by far, was "Season of Mists" from The Sandman line by Neil Gaiman. A quick recap for you uninitiated into the greatness that is Neil Gaiman: Lucifer decides he's had it being lord of the underworld and gives Morpheus the key to Hell (mind you, there's a bunch of in-between stuff I'm leaving out here). As the two entities are walking through the various aspects of Hell, Lucifer explains why he's leaving. "Why do they blame me for all their little failings? They use my name as if I spend my entire day sitting on their shoulders, forcing them to commit acts they would otherwise find repulsive. 'The devil made me do it.' I have never made one of them do anything. Never. They live their own tiny lives. I do not live their lives for them .... They talk of my going around and buying souls ?never stopping to ask themselves why. I need no souls. And how can anyone own a soul? No. They belong to themselves They just hate to have to face up to it."
