Good evening owls of /co/,

let's read one or two before "oh shit, I'm on deadline, I forgot" takes over

>This is 2099
Is Pat Mills a prophet?
>>84218477
yes
oh shit, unexpected robot feels
>>84218503
There is nothing not awesome about this page.
>>84218572
eye boobs, too
move on over, Bitch Planet!
>>84218394
Punny 2099 is a hot babe now? This is a positive development.
Punishment is SEXY.
>>84218595
Avengers word search!
>>84218600
we already had Jake's sex dungeon so Mills knew he had to bring his A-game and level up
>>84218400
A REEALLY Hot Babe. Burning Hot. Melted Steel Beams Hot.
>>84218423
You don't get to tell him how he Identifies, you dirty robit.
You need to learn to respect people Vengence Identities.
Also, 2 issues is better than none.

Such a wild cover lol.

>>84218416
This comic actually turned out to be so much better than I expected. Like it has this goofy appeal, but it's also actually just good.
>>84218503
No, Jake's going to lose his new robo-girlfriend, just like he lost his human girlfriend!I'm assuming this detente will eventually naturally turn into insatiable robosexuality
>>84218717
EXTREME PUNISHMENT
truly the hero that /pol/ deserves
>>84218717
Jesus Christ, this has just plain broken my waifu meter.
>>84218749
It's amazing what basic competence can do, in addition to a thought-out POV that's not just "throw it at the wall and see what sticks" (which is what Spider-Gwen kind of strikes me as)
>>84218801
>>84218813
>>84218836
;____;
>>84218801
What impresses me is it gets better. I feel like it's gotten consistently more interesting and more well-executed as it has gone on. And stuff has been built on, it's a little snippet of a whole world. A crazy 90s extreme punishment world, but still a whole world for all that.
So OP, how's pupper dealing with the Fourth of July fireworks?
>>84218857
we /blade runner/ now
>>84218857
>>84218876
it's been pretty quiet around here, although I think he heard some when I had him out on the lead last night and that sparked some anxiety. Will just keep him in as much as possible on the 4th proper.
>>84218625
I am being serious when I say the Bulletin solicitation box is one of the funnest parts of reading this run (thank god for scans)
For instance- Hey look, Nightwatch #5, Marvel's barely palette swapped Spawn.
Blaze #1! Because it's the early 90s and Ghost Rider/Midnight Sons is THE HOTTEST SHIT. So hot Blade got his first titular series as spinoff.
Barbie- Almost into her FIFTH year of having a Marvel book being cosold next to Bill Shatner's Tekwar.
>>84218836
Goldheart was a bro.
>>84218906
he insisted that the cable guy who came by today stop and pet him, of course.
>>84218917
I really do prize scans for older material because of stuff like that, and letters.
>>84218945
Hey, I like this combo
>>84218930
I mean, not really. He just let that shopper die.
>>84218665
Only a handful of those names haven't been in anything recent, actually.
>>84218985
hey, can you fault her logic?
>>84219018
"non-compliant" got nothin' on this
>>84218860
IIRC it gets cancelled just before they hand all of 2099 over to Ellis/Doom, and he keeps making supporting character appearances.
BTW did everybody else see that one Anon who reacted to Robbie Reyes getting casted on SHIELD by posting about how Netflix should totally do a Ghost Rider 2099 show?
>>84218997
Have you MET the average 2099 civilian?
Probably deserved it.

Too bad it didn't work for Black Cat.

I'm sure you could get KSD to come back and write this series.

Never saw my body! As if a bunch of average civvies could take down a Red Dog with improvised weaponry!
Just finished delivering my speech, let them all wear themselves out, then got up and left before the Public Eye showed up.
>>84219067
That gun shape and placement...
>>84218997
If an ambulance were going to pick him up, then his chips would have called one for him.
He probably wasn't even a Gold Carder. Goldheart was just logically pointing out a corpse doesn't need a watch.
>>84218945
Having the console that close to the table and having no restraints seem like pretty major design flaws.
>>84219152
This is actually entirely plausible.
>>84219016
>It took me 20 minutes... New York
Isn't it called Nuevo York in 2099, or is that a different city?
OP, you wouldn't happen to have ever worked in a book store?

Man they hung out for all of one day. Jake really goes all-in on his emotions.
>>84219247

Between this and Blitzspear Pat Mills may have the oddly specific praise of being the best creator of sentient mounts in comic books.
>>84219076
Actually it gets cancelled just before Ellis leaves Doom. During that span, the One Nation Under Doom stuff, Punisher becomes an Agent of Shield and things are... not as good as they were as I remember.
>>84219371
we're fucking off to something else as soon as Mills leaves
>>84219283
It's a bizarre question that I only asked because several years ago I had a lengthy conversation with a bookstore clerk about the JSA, and I happened to be in that store again today and remembered it.
Not that I'd think you're the only other person in the state who is a JSA fan. At least I hope not.
>>84219290
From the 90's through to around 2010 it was aimed squarely at 40 year old continuity obsessed social rejects, I have to say. Remember all the SEXIEST CHICKS IN COMICS articles magazines would do like every month?
>>84219359
desu I don't know squat about the game but I'd put money into any part that involves Zemo or other characters that don't see enough love just to tell Marvel I want more.
>>84219283
It's the origins of Heat Vision and Jack
>>84219390
I very much miss going to the flagship Half Price Books, especially when they had 50 CENT WEDNESDAY, sigh
>>84219418
Helmut is in it
>>84219429
>>84219433
and the writers are pretty deep nerds about Marvel continuity
>>84219338
Oh no, Tom Morgan is done!
I hope NEW GUY provides as much gloriously fitting madman faces.
>>84219418
Zemo is too expensive to do that, just buy a trade
>twenty (20) fucking dollars
>>84219429
There's still one back where my parents live, but over the years I've slowly sucked it dry of all the DC stuff.
This ought to have had a Dredd crossover.
>>84219446
we even more 90s now
>>84219429
Don't even go to non-secondhand bookstores anymore desu
>>84219509
2000AD has never crossed over with Marvel, only DC, Dark Horse and Doctor Who.
>>84219359
>Comic books- STILL your best entertainment value
I wish this were still true.
Anyone know what that Tom Morgan mystery project they're hinting at is?
>>84219529
>>84219531
e-format and my total lack of space and desire to have less clutter have cut hard into my physical purchases

Nope, how do I google it?

>Remember all the SEXIEST CHICKS IN COMICS articles magazines would do like every month?
Most of Wizard's staff wished they were working at Maxim, let's be honest.
>>84219531
>books are twice as expensive as even new copies on Amazon
>idiots have already used the store as their personal library and fucked up all the books
>still don't even price match
Yeah, fuck book stores. Half-Price rules and local used books stores are literally the best place to find impossible-to-get out of print stuff for peanuts.
>>84219561
>I don't enjoy my work
Oh come on, Jake/Pun-Pun. That is BULLLLLLLLshit.
I could post panels.
Lots of panels.
>>84219546
What a shame. There could be some good crossovers there.
>>84219529
Yeah, this art'll do for 2099.
>>84219604
I don't want to buy all my shit from Amazon, but the saving is incomparable. Plus my local non-secondhand bookstore has become a nest of hipsters - and it doesn't even have as good a selection, or stock refreshed as regularly, as the thrift one.
>>84219561
>I don't enjoy my work
Jake...
>>84219561
(sorry, had to let the dog out)
>>84219687
There was once a whole 2000AD strip around this concept.
>>84219604
>Half-Price rules and local used books stores are literally the best place to find impossible-to-get out of print stuff for peanuts
but you have to 1) have access to those in the first place (literally the ONLY used bookstore within like a 20mi radius of me is a HPB outlet) and 2) be super lucky that the thing you want is even there
regular bookstores are generally overpriced as hell though, they kinda deserve to go out of business tbqfwyf

PUNISHMENT

>>84219782
I have the opposite problem, I bought a few old books that weren't available digitally recently and I barely want to touch them
>>84219725
Brick and mortar stores in general need to go to hell, even though I'm employed at one. The two things they have over online, customer service and stock, they don't even have anymore.
But yeah with used stores they're mostly for just going and picking shit up on a whim. Today got the complete collected Hitman, the Vertigo Haunted Tank, vol. 5 of the Doom Patrol Archives, and the second volume of Kirby's Jimmy Olsen for under 40 bucks. They also had ALL the original printings of Sandman Mystery Theater but I passed on them because better reprints are coming.

>>84219751
Between e-books and the library I've gotten into the habit of not buying physical books unless they're in the specific format (usually early edition hardcovers) I want. Although I also just enjoy spending time in well-stocked used bookstores.
I did shift most of my non-trade comic collection to digital because it meant less shuffling around in long boxes when I wanted to read. (Plus being able to snack while reading is nice.)
>>84219851
Jake got really, really ripped
>>84219732
thanks!!
>>84219851
Hell, there are shitloads of people in poverty that'd do this today, even if it was just giving up their heart or some other vital organ.
Best start believing in grim cyberpunk dystopias...we're living in one.
>>84219529
Goldheart makes for a hell of a stand.
>>84219888
The cover >>84219529 does feel like it's paying more attention to his tits than hers
>>84219911

I love how fucking easy this seems for Punisher now. He's just having some casual chitchat while he's offhandedly icing some guys. Jake leveled up.

>>84220023
Honestly, things going to shit with EVERY other vigilante pretty much immediately is so standard it's cliche.
I'd like a good working relationship to last for at least a couple dozen issues, then maybe have the conflict come up.
It'd make the whole theme of examining why vigilantes are so dangerous way more poignant. As it is, it's always just that the protagonist vigilante is somehow special, and all the other ones aren't.
>>84220060
what's that from?
Shit, page 15 seems to be missing. Sorry about that...
>>84220089
Good man. More people need to read real Wondie.
>>84220100
wow
>>84220060
I hope it can last more than 12 issues but I'm not holding my breath
>>84220121
Very Jabba...
>>84220100
New Super-Man. Artist puts out little teases on Twitter. If the Supersons does get cancelled, this'll be the only fun Super comic left. ;_;
>>84220141
Bo shuda!
>>84220150
we need cute fun! with some characterization substance to it.
>>84220121
Fuck, every issue of Punisher 2099 is a grim prediction of what will be.
Not might, will.
Our only possible chance to avoid this is to have the equally undesirable societal collapse that devolves us back to the iron age.

Your typical sex-doll-gained-sapience has reason enough to be pissed off, but having THAT for her owner?

>>84220165
ooh, hard gender critique
>>84220132
If it's on Didio senpai's favorite list and it does Gotham Academy numbers, it can last longer. Plus I think DC is looking forward to trade sales because Yang is sort of a big name in bookstore market and I also think they're going to market it towards Chinese people.

>Measures in feet

>>84220210
God knows there are more than enough chinks to keep this shit alive.
>>84220192
Ouch.
Having someone who's just as willing to kill as you criticize your methods as sloppy, half-hearted AND ultimately as or more cruel than their own...
...that's rough. Way harsher than someone like Batman or Spider-man doing it.
>>84220225
Maybe Future-America got even more screwed up in its measurements acceptance.
>>84220223
Jake's son is swole.
Also, like what, 15? How old is Jake even supposed to be?
>>84220210
>>84220210
New Super-man was pretty high on the advanced reorder list from a couple weeks ago, maybe there is some latent interest arising? I hope it can last for at least 12 issues
>>84220223
>>84220225
doesn't the UK use a weird mix of metric and IMperial?
>>84220268
awww shit!
>>84220192
But she has it backwards. Violence and cruelty are masculine and mercy feminine.
>>84220282
c-c-cliffhanger!
thanks for reading, and more tomorrow
time to try to hit deadline (which is not tomorrow, but if I think it is...)
>>84220263

>>84220338
GL OP, and thanks again
>>84220338
ty op
>>84220338
Cheers senpai
>>84220338
Thanks again, OP. See you tomorrow.
>>84220349
Ah, yes. Thanks for the reminder.
So Dean has to be a teen, right? Or a clone?
>>84220301
Not in 2099!
>>84220338
thanks OP, good luck
>>84220399
I suppose that Jake could've gotten someone teen pregnant as early as 17 or 18 and it wouldn't be TOTALLY screwed up, but yeah, he's a teen at most without it being completely fucked up.
>>84220301
Honestly, she doesn't exactly have a "standard" grasp on gender normative behavior. Given her background, it's not that strange that she'd have somewhat atypical interpretations of said behavior and instincts.
And it's not as if there aren't incredibly cruel and violent women and incredibly merciful and nurturing men out there. "Normatives" aren't absolutes.
>>84220506
For real though she's not wrong, she's criticizing a particular kind of masculine "honour" right? Taking it up to a generality ignores what's actually on that page. Her problem with men is general, but what she's actually saying on that page is specific.
>>84220338
Go, OP, Go!
>>84220549
She's not necessarily wrong, yeah.
How many thugs have had their torsos blown a hole through by the Punisher, who then walked off quipping a one-liner, leaving them to slowly bleed out in agony, maybe dying in a local clinic or hospital with their grief-stricken families wailing over their body?
Even criminals have loved ones, and dehumanizing them by seeing them as "crime symptoms" or "one less scumbag" IS less merciful, in a way, than going hardcore and finishing them off then and there.
Of course, slowly burning someone to death is far from healthy behavior, too, so it isn't as if she really has the moral high ground or anything.
>>84220640
A comic with INCENDIGEL probably can't afford to get too much into moral high grounds in any case. I think it's all fine for what this is.
>>84219016
is that punisher... female? wtf
>>84220912
How did you manage to read only one page of the comic?
>>84220912

>>84218394

>>84219328

>>84218717
I have to hand it to Mills, (anyone know how much scripting he actually did at this point? maybe hand it to the other guy) this is pretty EXTREME.
The miner's wives bit is a bit creepy to me - reminds me of a bit from an old Cyberpunk campaign. Basically with AI and uplifts and stuff around some definitions of sentient being became necessary, and so some enterprising types started making what you might call labor retards.
Strong, toxin resistant, perpetually happy, almost immune to trauma, and happy to get fucked for a ham sandwich.

>>84229843
I won't say there wasn't a BNW influence, but IIRC I did try to avoid it. Or at least mask any one influence with tons of others - and since there were multiple GMs working different parts of the campaign world there were _tons_ of influences.
Sadly they never got to the Fraggle Rock part.
>>84218985
