I have never read the comic and I won't do it, but I know /co/ is in pain right now.
>>83645086
Joke's on you, I love trash. Mind doing Nemesis and Trouble after this?
>>83645102
It's so bad it's good, and you fucking know it /co/.
>>83645136
Maybe I will do Nemesis tomorrow, Trouble is too long so probably not gonna do it.

Millar is such a great writer and you know it.
Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. Hate.

do you guys think millar will eventually do a movie with the unfunnies?
>>83645527

someone should email him and ask him that, best idea ever.
>>83645594
>>83645607
>>83645594
iirc he doesn't want to do anything with unfunnies, and he kind of doesn't even like talking about it in interviews

>>Mark Millar: My wife got about six pages into it when she was reading it in the bath the other night and she just threw it at me. She said it was the most horrible thing she'd ever read in her life and she didn't want to think this sort of shit even went on in my head. I tried to explain that the crow was sucking cock for a REASON, but it actually does sound kind of creepy saying it out loud.

we are half way there guys, just think of this like dante's journey. Also,, CBR gave the book a 5/5.
>>83645928
who "plays" Hicks? i'm guessing the artist because that's definitely not Millar

this whole thing would be wayyy better if there actually was a The Funnies series. it would have given the whole "wholesome cartoon world slowly loses it's innocence" idea some weight

I know it's a video game, but Rare did something like that. The first Conker game was a cutesy (if repetitive) romp on the Gameboy Color. Then, he was going to have a cutesy sequel, but instead we got Conker's Bad Fur day, which is like, the best game ever when you're 14, but is kinda cringey as an adult.

So why do people hate this again?
>>83647302
Memes, mostly.
It's so very mark millar. Wow. I mean, whether you think that's good or bad depends on your feeling about Mark Millar. I didn't enjoy it, but I saw what he was trying to do and can appreciate it on an intellectual/artistic level, but I can't say "oh I enjoyed that."
Thanks for story time OP.
>>83647557
The thing is, he didn't have SPACE for what he was trying to do, or a setup. And considering this series took several years to finish, you'd think he would have had it.
Original Writer did a similar thing with Marvelman, but there was an actual Marvelman series for him to do his take ON in the first place.
>>83645337
Here. So far it's bad, but I don't understand the genuine hate for it. I think it's mostly because I don't get the intent or the target audience. It just seems really stupid and unpleasant, but at least it doesn't shit on existing characters the way Trouble did.
>>83647050
Is that tim roth? Is that motherfucking tim roth in a mark millar 'oh whoa is me life is cruel and unfair so let's make a dead end story if nothing more than to shock and astound people with my edginess' comic?
So why was this made? I need context.
>>83650072
>>AN: Mark, tell us about the larger scheme of your multi-publisher event? Was it to further establish yourself or has it been an artistic desire of yours to stretch your work across the publishers valley?
>>Mark: I wanted to do this for a number of reasons. The first is the most obvious and that's the sheer ambition of something on this scale. Nobody had ever really tried something as pan-industry as a multi-company crossover before and that appealed. Being the first to do something like this also registers a lot of attention that the line might not have gotten if all four books had just appeared from one company.
>>The breadth of the potential readership is also a factor. My natural reader-base tends to read Marvel or DC comics. However, if I can expand this to Top Cow or Avatar I'm helping the sales, however small, on my Marvel books because I'm almost certain to pick up some new readers. The Marvel books also feed into the smaller publishers and the fact that this is happening in the same month we're launching Ultimate Fantastic Four is no coincidence. All the Millarworld books carry ads for the other books and, even though I know Wanted, for example, will sell a great deal more than The Unfunnies, tying them together like this is going to help the smaller, more personal books and hopefully give the line a nice, varied look.

I won't post it in a storytime thread but I'm saving this to crop out that last panel for a reaction image.

>As Williams began getting scripts and read what he had to draw, we wondered whether there was ever a moment where the artist had to stop and catch his breath before continuing. He answered in the affirmative. "Every page, and it's getting worse. Somebody help him before it's to late." And when Williams began sending back finished pages to Millar, the writer did have a few recommendations and changes for the artist. "Bizarrely, I was drawing too well. I'd get repeated emails saying 'Make it shittier.'"

Is this story some kind of meta commentary on how writers 'corrupt' fictionalized universes by injecting real life into them?
>>83656245
I saw one theory about it being a piss-take towards Morrison.
Quite funny, thanks anon!
