What are some great Tarantino-esque comic books?
Django the comic.

>awful dialogue
>homages to/ and straight up rip offs of better material
>recurring tropes
>no signs of improvement over time
Bendis.

>>awful dialogue

>>83538169
Namefag has a horrible opinion, news at 11.

>liking Tarantino dialogue
it gets old real fucking quick.
>>83537987
I've always found Ennis to be the Tarantino of comics strangely enough.
>>83538270
>it gets old real fucking quick.
No, not really.
Tarantino, I find, tends to have a way with dialogue. I love his snappy, badass dialogue and the delivery his characters tend to have.
His movies are always so quotable.
>>83538270
Not really. If anything, dialogue is his thing.
>>83538368
>>83538387
all his dialogue post-pulp fiction has just been unironic glorification of tired old cliches, just like all the other elements of his films
>>83538438
And? Unironic (whatever that means) glorification of old cliches backed up by good acting and solid cinematography is cool, and it just so happens to be Tarantino's thing.
>>83538438
Except for when he takes old, familiar genres and remixes them in unfamiliar settings or gives us unconventional protagonists that substantially change up these, "tired old cliches."
Kill Bill is derivative, sure, but pays homage to everything it takes from. It's also a samurai movie with some elements from the Western genre and martial arts genres, but set in the modern day.
Django Unchained is a Western set in the South with a black main character.
Death Proof is a slasher movie where the "slasher" kills people with a tricked out stunt car, and where the second group of women he antagonizes are experienced badasses.
Inglourious Basterds in its entirety was fairly original.
And his dialogue is fantastic as well.

Frank Miller's Sin City series if you haven't read them
bump
any more examples?
>>83538438
>thinking Pulp Fiction is good and a standard for his other films to be held to
Fucking lol its his worst
Hitman, Preacher, most of Garth Ennis' non-war books.
Christopher Priest used similar non-sequential storytelling for the first few arcs of his Black Panther.
And Palmiotti and Gray's Jonah Hex has some similarly sharp dialogue and bloody plots.
>>83538296
>>83539590
So I should check out Ennis then? Alright.
I'll check out the Jonah Hex series too.
Ennis comics especially Hitman and Kev
Anything by Garth Ennis.

Prince of Cats is Romeo and Juliet from Tybalts point of view reimagined as black new york hip-hop katana bullshit, seems pretty tarantino-y
>>83539705
You know it.
>>83539705
forgot to mention it's dialogue emulates old Shakespearean english instead of snappy Tarantino dialogue, so it's more in line with the Leonardo Dicaprio Romeo+Juliet movie in that regard
>>83539705
I've heard of this and have been meaning to read it. Maybe I will in the near future.
>>83537987
Blue Estate (Image Comics) by Viktor Kalvachev and friends is very Tarantino-esque.
Not a comics but Rango.
bump for more
Can't think of any foot fetish comics desu
>>83544826
I know Whedon has a foot fetish, but I don't know if that made it into his comics work.
>>83538245
those long winded speeches in his movies are just him projecting his thoughts through a character.
>>83538560
>Western set in the South with a black main character.
Its been done though

Django/Zorro. Tarantino was involved in the writingstory process.
>>83544826
And that's a damn shame.
>>83544926
Not really. It's been confirmed that Superman speech at the end of Kill Bill vol. 2 is from the point of view of Bill, a sociopath.
>>83544963
I knew of this movie, but thought it was set in the West.
Stray mother-fucking Bullets.
>Issues can take place from anywhere between the mid 70's and the mid 90's.
>Focus on lowlife and down on their luck characters.
>Huge cast of characters that float in and out of each other's lives.
>Very dark sense of humor
>It's pretty much a comicbook Pulp Fiction, but better
>>83539585
Clearly you haven't watched Jackie Brown.
Don't worry, nobody did back then either.
>>83545567
I should check this out. I've always wanted to read Young Liars as well, which iirc, was by the same guy.
>>83545858
First issue is free on comixology. First 7 are on comixology unlimited. I highly recommend it.
And Young Liars is indeed the same guy.
>>83545696
I have Pulp is literally "dude Citizen kane but gangsters Lmao"
>>83544826
Im sure it made it into a Claremont comic somewhere, though it may be too tame for hin
Blades & Lazers
Terror Assaulter OMWOT (One Man War on Terror
Copra
Revenger
Basically genre as personal work. Quentin utilizes older techniques, film homage as visual language, and pastiche in his work and these comics are like that but with comics instead of film.
