>Jules Verne at that age
I call bullshit already.
>>84506448
This is one of the best comics I've read all year.
>>84506471
>>84506485

>>84506452
Jules Verne is definitely written in a way that is accessible to grade schoolers.

I was hoping Timm would get a big interest but here he looks like he's getting shafted.
Wonder which one's Alan.
>>84506660
>>84506671
>>84506533
Maybe Mad Love was derived from his attraction to his shrink.
>>84506452
Is reading 20k Leagues Under the Sea in fourth grade strange?
>>84506666
Burnett is the one with the brown coat

Even if this was exactly how it happened they should have changed this ...
This year black people have had it really bad with the police and to add this type of stuff in comics is a BIG mistake, but of course is a mistake I could see DC doing

I wasn't mugged, but have been suffering from depression and anxeity attacks for years. I just had a major one over some shit and realized how badly I had been doing just this myself, running away from problems with video games and comics and figures.
Nothing wrong with them if you are functioning, but I haven't been.

Quit being an SJW retard. It was the depiction of how it happened. What did you want Dini to do? Make them white and lie about what happened? stfu
>>84507902
>>84507920
and we're done
I honestly didn't think I would make it. I'm glad I stuck it out
>>84507937
One of the best comics i've read in a long time. Thanks anon, you rock.
>>84507826
>>84507746
Forgot to say I got tears in my eyes. Also on this page too. Thank you, op. And thank you, Paul Dini. I needed to stop buying comics right now, but may need to pick this up. This really hit home with my own shit right now. And gave me a bit of hope.
>>84507094
>Hey, I just got the ever-loving shit kicked out of me. I feel like my entire body is broken, and need to get to the hospital.
>Really? Ohmygosh well this one time these guys acted like total creeps and I got uncomfortable
Fucking hell, what a 100% Grade A bitch.

did your school not have jules verne in the library?
>>84507651
ye
>>84507724
>>84507732
>>84507763
Ah, the BATS episode that never was
>>84507188
are you serious? Stop being so PC. There are blacks out there that are dicks. Just like whites.
>>84508148
>>84507915
>falling for this obvious of bait
come on, guys
I forgot, what is Arleen's relationship to Dini?
>>84507188
No. No they shouldn't have changed it. If the two degenerates that attacked him that night happened to look like a stereotype, they should still be drawn as how Paul remembers them.
It doesn't matter how bad black people have had it in 2016. It's Paul's story about Paul. He doesn't need to oblige his work to some cultural movement. LA was a typical hole of black violence in the 90s. Just cause an ethnicity is going through bad times doesn't mean they have a clean past.
>>84507355 >>84507365 The comic even points out that not all black people are like that. Good and the bad. So please don't whine about negative portrayals that were probably accurate to the events that happened.
That's my long (you) to (you), you sensitive little nancy
>>84508203
They were friends prior to BTAS and he based Harley off of her.
>>84507937
Excellent read, thank you anon.
>>84508243
Okay. He totally should have gotten with her instead of being strung along in a barely-relationship with the redhead.
They get along, she cares about him, and she's perfectly fuckable.>>84508098
>>84508295
>Trying to hook up with your friends
9 times out of 10 it's a terrible idea.
>>84507763
>>84507732
>>84507724
This would have been amazing, damn
>>84508364
Eh, okay. Dini was already seeing a therapist, so he probably won't be in the minority of that ratio.
On that note,
Jesus Christ, Risso drew her with some nice cleavage.
I'm pretty sure that's some artistic liberty.
You don't want your clients forming an unhealthy attachment.
>>84507574
>Tell him you want the Walther
Batman knows what's good.
On a related note, I've always thought Bruce would enjoy shooting clay pigeons.
This was a damn good comic
>>84508295
She appears to have had a boyfriend and not everyone is into eachother like that. She's obviously more useful as a bro than a ho anyways.
Paul seems to have had shitty taste in women at the time, besides he won in the end.Every photo of them together looks like some nerd taking a photo with a hot cosplayer, and she probably made him pay for it

I don't really see what these would be useful for.
Oh wait....now I do. For five seconds I was naive and innocent of the world.
>>84508584
Still this seems more useful in general.
>>84507338
Oh my god, Paul Dini was Red X all along!
>>84507355
>>84507365
McDuffie was a gift
>>84507652
>>84507666
holy shit this is hitting me hard.
>>84507517
Buster Busts Loose was a hard as fuck game.
>>84508666
Wasn't McDuffie. His first name is Dwayne, this is some guy named Barry.
>>84507607
I've never used a gun, but this made me unnerved...
>>84507763
I wonder if we could ever get this as a JLAction double length episode...
>>84508719
....No.
>>84507937
Thanks for the story time op. This is definitely going in my collection.
>>84507888
>>84507902
Wonder Return of the Joker would go if they used that idea.
>>84507208
>when you couldn't have more from her than tiny bits of affection, you tried to make her feel bad.
This hits way too fucking close on many things.
This comic is actually helping me reationalize some personal shit I've been doing in the past year. Thanks OP.
>>84507561
batman is more of genesis player
>>84506760
>>84506782
Someone was hot for his therapist.

>>84506876
Ha!
>>84506893
I don't see how it's her fault he read too much into the situation.
>>84507016
Suddenly we're in a Frank Miller comic.
>>84507188

>>84507561
>>84512378
I'm impressed he turned Dini's controller into a wireless one. Where does he get all those wonderful toys?
>>84507652
That black guy is like "I've seen some shit".
>>84507732
She calls Bats "The Cheater". I find this funnier than it probably is.
>>84512576
I wish she had looked a little more like her classic friendly self, but I'll live.Until I don't.
>>84507701
I find it hard to believe that one conversation with a fan and he's suddenly off the bottle.
>>84512600
It probably took more than that in real life, but that's showing what put him on the right track maybe?
I wonder if any of his co-workers have read this, seen how fucked up he was.
>>84512736
Mark Hamill has a positive blurb on the cover.
This confirms comic/cartoon people are the most useless self involved worthless shitty people in western civilization
>>84512736
I hope they didn't read it and go "Oh shit, I wish I had reached out to him, I'm such an asshole."
In all likelihood he was like most depressed people, he pulled away from people and went through the motions during the day so he could tell himself he wasn't a wreck, even though he was falling apart every night.
>>84507561
Damnit, why can't I have a hard-assed imaginary friend? All the people living in my head are too sympathetic and just let me laze around.And the ones that aren't have already given up on me.
>>84511749
She's not going to kiss you, anon. No matter how hard you ride to her defense, she will never, ever kiss you. Cheers.
>>84508218
It's a troll, senpai. You can't win against a cultural zeitgeist, no matter how many trucks the realists are driving into perfectly Nice crowds.
Just... let it go.
>>84506927
Speaking as someone who lives in Washington (((Progressive))) DC, never be afraid to be the racist on the other side of the street instead of the minority ally lying dead in a gutter.
>>84507640
Dream Hunters? Didn't it come out way later than when that is supposed to be happening?
>>84511749
She was using him for his industry connections and he was using her for companionship even though he knew they weren't compatible like that. They are both at fault.
>>84507775
never knew I wanted this so badly
>>84508410
In BTAS, he did.
>>84506360
Good job OP. This is really good
>>84506927
Around blacks never relax
Did he actually use the emmy statue to cut himself
>>84513413
>>84515853
So should Dini start running away here? >>84507355
>>84516314
Nah, he should be alert though
>>84516356
>tfw you do everything to try and gain the minimal amount of trust everyone else gets by talking, walking, behaving and dressing a specific way.
>Everyone still feels uneasy around you and the internet hates you and has made you into a meme
easy come...
What are the forwards and afterwords like?
Haven't read this but planning on buying it right now. It seems like some comic about introspection from Mc's viewpoint. Isn't it?
>>84507775
>John Hurt as Morpheus
Amazing.
>>84513413
is DC really that bad these days?
>>84507775
He should do it as a comic but have it drawn by Bruce Timm or if not him, one of the Batman Adventures artists. And Gaiman doing dialogue for the Endless.
>>84507355
God i love dwayne
>>84508474
Makes me wonder if he had a similar love life as me.
I was an 18 year old Malibu brat desperate to get with a pretty woman because life ends at 25 or something, of course as a dumpy artist the few model lookers that went out with me were mercenary, absolutely self-interested or junkie strippers, all failed hollywood starlets.
After a home invasion and an STD scare too many me brother literally kidnapped me and took me way up north to do seasonal work with him, some months fishing, some months mining, some months logging. The few women around were either ancient or underage native-americans, so all I could focus on was working, drawing and self-pitying about having to conform for an ugly old woman.
Turns out the ugly one was me.
At 28 I had saved enough money to buy a house and settled in Portland, decided to quit the logging and mining because fishing gave me enough money to live comfortably and I wanted to spend those 8 free months actually getting good at painting. Short after I met a wonderful lady that actually liked me for the rugged, bear-like amateur painter dork that I was, and not because I knew people in this or that studio and this or that club.
Now we have a little kid and couldn't be any happier that he's not gonna grow up in the nest of lies, selfishness and manipulation know as California.

Is this your first day in /co/mblr?
>>84506782
Oh God, the look she's giving him in panel six.
>Well, I guess this means more billing hours for me
If he worked at Marvel would his nickname be "Phriendzone" Paul Dini
If he bought the gun they could call him "Packin'" Paul Dini
If those black muggers kicked him hard enough Marvel coulda called him "Parapalegic" Paul Dini
Great comic. Thanks for the storytime, OP.
>>84512600

Just don't have anyone refer to her by name. Boom.
