So despite how good this is, it's never going to make it past 12 issues is it?
>ranked #40 on the CMX bestseller list (versus Future Quest 2 ranked #22)
>middling reviews
>probably lower initial physical orders than Scooby Apocalypse or Future Quest #1
Fucking hell.
Russell and Pugh are too pure for this gay earth.
You can't know that. The regular Scooby Doo (not the current Apocalypse storyline) usually sell between 6-7000. But wasn't cancelled.
>it's good
Wait, what? Can someone give me a low-down how this managed to be an actual, decent comic?
>>84407727
i say it's that weird balance Life with Archie had; doing a real storyline while embracing the ridiculous shit that comes with the setting.
>>84407727
It's really good though. For this reason better not be biased against a book, before you read it.
>>84407342
It's gotten pretty high reviews as far as I've seen.
Though to be fair, comic book websites hardly have the best standards of review.
>>84407727
Read it yourself.It takes the "Flintstones" setting and concepts and gives them more modern twists and themes. For example, when Wilma decides to take up painting, her artwork is featured in a local art gallery's exhibition where it becomes the victim of hipster critique; said hipsters vape from actual tree sticks.
Another twist is the Royal Order of the Water Buffalo being changed from a parody of veteran's associations and elder's lodges to being an actual war veteran's support group, helping each other cope with the atrocities they witnessed and committed.
>>84407727
It's a vicious satire of modern America and manages to balance pathos with hilarious black humor.
>>84407727
It's satire.
It's only major flaw is that they gave us a better concept for a story than what we got but we will probably never see it. Fucking Fred and Barny fighting in a war would be great to see
>>84407179
FLEENTSTONES?????
Seeing as how Russel is writing it probably wont make it past six issues.

Anyone feel like storytiming this? I don't have the pages, I just hope some kind-hearted Anon would.
>>84407179
I saw people saying how it was dumb that it was modernized, but that's the fucking point. flintstones are a MODERN stone age family. so they would basically be our current society but with more rock puns
>>84407179
>it's never going to make it past 12 issues is it?
DC doesn't hold none DC Universe books to the same sales standards. It could go on for years even selling at 7k

So did I. People are fucking retarded I swear
>>84408269
>You better have a damn. Good explanation for this.

Wacky Raceland is already down to being a six issue series. Which of the HB titles will be next?
>>84409425
If any of them, Flintstones.
Let's do this.
I read the storytime thread and decided I should buy it. I added it to my pull list. I need a comedy comic.

I hope there's a Jetsons series that shows the dangers of the singularity
So I bought this today after reading the story time last week. The guy checking me out gave me the weirdest look when I checked out.
>>84409425
Wacky Raceland suffered from shit art and being too distant from the basic concept.
>>84410760
I wonder if they'll continue to do jumps to the present.

>>84410760
Holy shit. This is the first piece of flintstones related media I have actually enjoyed. How is it so good.
I read this in all their voices.
>>84410644
This'll come in handy.
>>84410782
I could see it more juxtaposition between what was and what it's percived to be.
Betting a "Back then they had a much closer tie to their natural element, see these animals they lived in communion with." Bit comes up with cuts to Fred and family using the utility animals.
>>84410830
My guess is a lack of intervention from suits. Like they said, "Give us a Flintstones book for adults, no tits" and didn't give a shit about the content so they had free reign to make it good.
WHAT THE FUCK, /CO/?
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT THIS COMIC WAS SO GOOD?
Wonder if Barney will have a definitive job in this. Instead of ring a general jack of all trades.
Or if that will be a tragic back story to why he can't get a solid job.

So that's Morp.
>>84410938
The first storytime maxed out from all the people posting their shock. It was a sleeper hit no one saw coming.
>>84411054
They already will do Jetsons.
And to be honest I'm really curious regarding the Raceland world.
>>84410938
Did you not see the thread? Maybe it just got to 500 posts in less than two days so a lot of people missed it.
>>84411054
Jetsons need to capitalize on the satire that existed in the show that never really got play beyond it. George works short weeks and all he does is press a button.
Plenty of play to be done with that. Computer is his overseer and he's got the education that he could reprogram that bucket of bolts in a second. And all he does is press a button.
Maybe have it go Breaking Bad over that unfilled purpose.
>>84411088
How long until we're Flintbros and it's banned from /co/?
>>84411103
I am but they need to adjust a few things. Like more racing.
>>84411124
I kinda hope Mark Russell writes it but I don't know how many books he's on right now other than Flintstones.
>>84410830
They gave it to a smart writer.
I have no idea what I just read but it was brilliant. Why is everything that's not mainstream of such high quality these days?

>Fred gets trapped in a vitamin pill scam.
My god that's hilarious
>>84410757
He can sense your power level anon.
The next time you see that guy again, stare him down, apply your dominance as the alpha nerd.
>>84411120
I think that a problem that the thread AND this one have,is that it didn't anounced a storytime, do plenty of people missed it.
Maybe somebody should do a proper thread with storytime on the title.
I was thinking that posting all the Hanah Barbera titles so far would be cool
>>84411279
And piss all over the back issues. That part is really important
>>84411226
Because people see a silly premise and don't care, they are judgemental without reading.
Also, less popular means more freedom.
And HB titles are already very free to tell good stories, they literally want to revive the franchines. There has been a talking about a cartoon cinematic universe on the style of Future Quest.
>>84411254
it's supposed to start in october
>>84411254
Not supposedly, definitely.
They're just waiting to release it closer to November.
And if his writing keeps up, and editorial doesn't shove their reptilian hands in it, it won't just be a bunch of shots at Trump like any given Marvel book.
>>84411226
Because they have passion for the medium and more to prove. For the big two, eh it's a living.
>>84411371
considering how oddly prescient the first volume of Prez one I am assuming vol 2 is going to write things that end up coming true in 2020
>>84411334
They should do it. I'd watch a reboot of the Flintstones if it had the same black humor as this book
>>84411371
Russel has clearly improved as a comics writer since his scripting is a lot better in this than in Prez. I have great hopes for Prez volume 2.
>>84410562
this is painfully accurate
>>84410723
>Mind if i vape

>scooby apocalypse
I was excited for it until they made Shaggy a literal hipster with ear plugs, a hipster beard, and a curly mustache with arm tattoos.
>>84411226
Because big business is about low risk, high reward.
Remember how the Silent Hill movies went? They made one very good movie, but their executive meddling changed it to be as appealing to as many people as possible with arbitrary shit like "people will relate more to a mother trying to save her daughter than a father trying to save his daughter, make the protag a woman".
Then for the sequel they spent the minimum amount of money possible, virtually all the effects were just for the trailer. When you remove the trailer scenes its just a rehash of one of the teenage girl "you are the special chosen one who has a cute boy sidekick" movies like Twilight and Hunger Games. Also, it was marketed as being a 3D movie in a big way.
They spent almost nothing, and made huge bank by killing the franchise intentionally coasting off the goodwill from the first movie.
That right there tells you exactly why mainstream media is trapped in a cycle of shit. Because you only make something good in order to have to spend less while still getting people coming back. You only invest when people stop showing up.
Batman #1 has to be flashy and show promise. By #12, it gets pretty shit so they have a Jim Lee alternate cover. Then by issue #16, you have a massive THEDCUNIVERSEWILLNEVERBETHESAME event book that sells all of the main titles. Finally by issue #24, they just reboot back to another shiny and new #1 that promises an interesting story arc it will never deliver.
>>84412938
Same here but some things really need support
>>84411756
>>84412955
Shaggy is the character that was changed the least, anon.
>>84412674
Bennett isn't even writing a marvel book and North and Leth have d listers that has so little impact on things they didn't bother telling Leth what happened to Jen lol
If you're gonna complain about writers, choose Bendis and Spencer.

>>84413317
yeah but people ordering the first one on Comixology is probably why we got a second one, he has a point
>>84415594
that's only Marvel
>>84408686
Its because they don't form opinions. They receive them.
There have been bad "modernized" series and they've heard that from critics many times, so now they just parrot "Modernized reboots are bad!"
Its up there with "Deviation from mass-market schlock is pretentious!" and "Dark and edgy = bad" in the pantheon of stupid shit people who can't come up with their own opinions parrot.
>>84411031
They should use an Ancient Aliens-style show as a modern-day framing device for this one like the museum in the first issue.
>>84412065
I'm guessing the cannibalism thing will be a satire of teenage/college-age fixation on Marxism and the like.

>The book Pebbles is holding leades me to believe that will be an issue.
>>84410390
It's a direct pun on "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal".
>>84413375
They deserve even LESS than nothing. They've got the rights to the motherfucking Fantastic Four and they are incapable of making even a halfway decent movie out of it. All those years of stories, all those ideas, and they can't even match what PIXAR did with the Incredibles. It's a goddamned travesty.
I just love how everyone is fucking buff.

I like it! Doesn't try to be something it's not, has some really sweet serious moments without coming off as preachy. Overall, I'd recommend it to people who like slice of life-ey kind of comics.
Hopefully if this sells well, it'll encourage some of the bigger companies to just tell more self contained good stories that aren't just capes. In general, I feel like a lot of super hero comics fall into a trap of getting WAY too convoluted and frequently lose sight of what they are. I should go out and buy an issue to support it.
Well, this was good. This is what I come here for, to get pleasantly surprised by something I wouldn't normally read.

In fact, it's thanks to this thread that I know a KFC comic exists.
>>84416080
Because the suits all obsessed with fucking origin stories so that they can have a new audience not feel "left out". The problem is that the content is shit that fucking everybody already knows and does not need a goddamn origin story. Who the fuck doesn't know the basic shtick of the fantastic four? Who the fuck are you having to explain the what and why of how they got their powers? So they make the goddamn origin story that is boring as sin then when it fails they drop it and then reboot it doing the exact same shit in a couple years but changing some small element to try and seem new and fresh.
And this is shit that applies to all media it seems like.

>but their executive meddling changed it to be as appealing to as many people as possible with arbitrary shit like "people will relate more to a mother trying to save her daughter than a father trying to save his daughter, make the protag a woman".
That was the director's decision and he's a dirty Frenchie with a fetish for American women who thought Harry Mason was feminine for caring about his daughter.
Does anyone have the KFC comic?
