Whose ready for this piece of shit tomorrow.
Maybe it won't be shit. Is there anyone else on the book? I don't actually think Landis is awful. That Supes Joker story was shit, but that's because he had the voices all wrong.
>>77376347
The tumblr crowd.
I spend most of my time on another board and there's this faggot tumblrite who constantly tries to explain things through Max Landis videos even when they aren't even remotely related to the topic.
I content myself with knowing that these people do not actually buy comics and instead read reviews about them on other sites. So while they'll look at Landis' blog or whatever he has and think the comic is great, real people will look at the sales and never ask Landis to do a non-digital only release again.
>>77376347
Everything that I saw so far about it seems good.
>>77376448
I'm pretty sure tumblr hates Landis. I really can't see them being okay with stuff like this.

>>77376458
>When his plane crash-lands in the middle of the ocean, 21-year-old Clark Kent finds himself at a raging party on a massive yacht and is mistaken for the guest of honor: billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne!
No sure how I feel about this.
I'm looking forward to it, yes.
>>77376402
fuck off max
>>77376593
Sure seems like something Clark Kent would do, he was always known for his wacky shenanigans and flirting with strange women.
>>77376593
That solicit is what sold me on the whole series, I love those kinda hijinks. They've been sorely lacking.
>>77376347
I'm hype. And I'm ready to laugh at all the butthurt.
>>77376593
New52 Clark isn't Pre-Flashpoint Clark. He didn't live a squeeky clean boy scout life. If I can use "edgy" in the actual definition of the term, I would use it for this new version of Clark.
>>77376593
is this real?

its the 3rd issue.
That isn't even the Cover for tomorrow.
>>77376887
Also, Variant.
>>77376593
Remember when in the old continuity Clark and Bruce had to akwardly share a bed on a motel and it was fun as hell?
Geez you guys should stop being too autistic about simples things like that.
>>77376826
Coincidentally...
>>77376978

I don't believe it already.
>>77377045
God fucking damn it Mike and Jay, why'd you fucking do this.
>>77377058
To be honest man, I saw his interlretation of the Kents,, and I found it truly based.
I'm willing to give a try with it in mind.
>>77377090
>we have not read your fan fiction
>>77377090
Are Nick's replies real?
Because if so, that's hilarious.
>>77376826
>>the same hackfraud who said Superman doesn't have a no-kill code
He doesn't though
>>77377126
Yes, but in this case it's also because the movie sucked.
>>77377121
They felt bad making him cry.
Also, he sent his fanbase to attack them.
Is he right about Man of Steel?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aw_GlYve_Lg
>>77377261
He's never right about anything, because he's the son of a literal murderer.
>>77376654
>someone says something that's only partially critical about someone
>must be that person
I want this meme to stop.
Well judging by how Max knows how to write Spider-Man what can go wrong?
>>77377261
It's hard for me to take Ma serous when his movie pitch not only had a huge gory edgy battle, but also had Superman stabbing Zod while edgyly taunting him like the Joker.
>>77377372
Imagine being a person who thinks this is a funny scene.
>>77377183
>Superman wins by killing Zod. By snapping his neck. And as this moment was building, as Zod was out of control and Superman was (for the first time since the fishing boat 90 minutes ago) struggling to actually save innocent victims instead of casually catching them in mid-plummet, some crazy guy in front of us was muttering “Don’t do it…don’t do it…DON’T DO IT…” and then Superman snapped Zod’s neck and that guy stood up and said in a very loud voice, “THAT’S IT, YOU LOST ME, I’M OUT,” and his girlfriend had to literally pull him back into his seat and keep him from walking out and that crazy guy was me. That crazy guy was me, and I barely even remember doing that, I had to be told afterward that I’d done that, that’s how caught up in betrayal I felt. And after the neck-snapping, even though I stuck it out, I didn’t give a damn about the rest of the movie.
>As the credits rolled, I told myself I was upset because Superman doesn’t kill. Full-stop, Superman doesn’t kill
>Superman doesn’t kill

I've seen the preview and read his script for it in his site online.The first issue that's coming out tomorrow is really good. If the rest is the same quality, I'll be really happy with the series. If not, at least we got a really good kid Clark issue and the baby Clark variant cover is great.Fuck you, asshurt faggot. Fight me.
>>77377478
>Fuck you, asshurt faggot. Fight me.
>>77377372
Not good since Max Landis has said he literally hates Spider-Man because he "is a bully who bullies and makes fun of poor criminals, serial killers, and rapists" instead of caring about like Superman.
>>77377372
*blowjob joke
*cum joke
*balls joke
in 12 lines of dialog
>>77377433
Nice out of context quote, there. You missed the important part.
>But after I processed all that, I realized that it wasn’t so much my uncompromising vision of Superman that made this a total-fail moment for me; it was the failed lead-up TO the moment. As Superman’s having his final one-on-one battle with Zod, show me that he’s going out of his way to save people from getting caught in the middle. SHOW ME that trying to simultaneously protect humans and beat Zod is achingly, achingly costing Superman the fight. Build to that moment of the hard choice…show me, without doubt, that Superman has no other out and do a better job of convincing me that it’s a hard decision to make, and maybe I’ll give it to you. But even if I do? It’s not a victory. Not this sad, soul-darkening, utterly sans-catharsis “triumph” that doesn’t even feel like a win so much as a stop-loss. Two and a half hours, and I never once got the sense that Superman really achieved or earned anything.
>The essential part of Superman that got lost in MAN OF STEEL, the fundamental break in trust between the movie and the audience, is that we don’t just want Superman to save us; we want him to protect us. He was okay at the former, but really, really lousy at the latter. Once he puts on that suit, everyone he bothers to help along the way is pretty much an afterthought, a fly ball he might as well shag since he’s flying past anyway, so what the hell.

He's also said Spider-man is his favorite superhero. I'm pretty sure he just wants him to be a bully so he can identify with him, or something.
Also why did no one stop him from getting that haircut?
>>77377604
I think Max is projecting. I mean hey, being the son of a killer who avoids child labor laws how could you not love criminals?
>>77377478
Yep, this is also my opinion on the matter
>>77377372
That's awful. Like something from that James Cameron comedy Spidey script
>>77377604
But Spider-Man recently hired the Prowler. And always helped Dr Conners. And begged Rhino to stay with his wife. And regularly tries to help Black Cat turn her life around.
He even taught an X-Men Class that "even villains need saving"
>>77376347
somebody's gonna storytime this, right?
>>77377126
This is the whiniest shit.
>>77377372
>>77377910
Anyone notice that both sides are being taken out of context?
>>77378034
Is...is this supposed to prove something or arouse me?
>>77378070
It's still not funny, Max. It's like something written by a twelve-year old. Or Seth Green.
Will this be worse than Lois and Clark ?Because I thought that was alright for Jurgens desu
>>77378020
But American Ultra is literally the greatest movie ever made in the history of Mankind!!!!!!! It's this generation's Citizen Kane!!!! It's a crime against humanity to not like it!!!
>>77378137
Nobody has ever had a mugshot before DevilMayCry, clearly.
>>77378147
I did too desu senpai

>My name is Clork, the Alien-Slayer
>>77376593
Wait will Bruce be here?
I might look at if Bruce shows up- otherwise its a wash
>>77378290
Has a nice ring to it, dont you think?
>>77376347
When I first saw this cover, I thought it was a young Lex Luthor at first. And that >>77376593 was Plastic Man. Not Clark Kent.
>>77378361
Scum
Maybe instead of listening to some random whining shitposter, people just read the script and look at the preview themselves and make up their own minds.

He is actually referring to Max's shitty fanfiction that he wrote about Shocker. He thinks Marvel is stalking him and stealing all his ideas.

God DAMN someone is really invested in hating Max Landis.
There's always a thread.
>>77377183
Reminder that faggots like this always skip over the fact that every time Superman has killed, he punished himself for it like leaving Earth after killing pocket universe Zod or depowering himself after killing Mxy, or by dying himself in the same battle like with Doomsday
>>77378893
just like how there one invested in willis
just like the one invested in Dobson
just like how there used to be one invested in B^Uckley
/co/ always has someone to hate.
>>77377183
Man of Steel a shit and you a shit
Max is watching. Always remember! Let the venom of our hate never die. Such lust for revenge!
>>77378532
That was pretty boring. And the dialogue was terrible.
Kurt Busiek and Jeph Loeb already did this(and did it better)
>>77378192
You're an idiot if you don't see the parallels between DmC and this.
>>77377045
this is going to be hilarious as when they brought len kabasinki on. I cant wait for rich to say something and for max to sperg out like at morrisoncon

Not really, it's just a mugshot cover. There's a ton of them around and not just for comics.
You're fucking retarded.
How the fuck did we miss this?

I meant with the products themselves, you obtuse cunt.
>>77379238
Did Dan Slott reply to him? Usually he loves replying to stuff like this.
>>77379298
No but I think that's because he didn't put Slott's name on it.
>>77379316
That hasn't stopped him in the past.
>>77379255
What on earth does American Alien have in common with DMC
>>77379316
Yeah, but usually he actively searches twitter for anything Spider-Man related.
But I guess he must of overlooked it since it doesn't have Spider-Man tagged in it.
>>77379365
Oh yeah that too
Also looking at https://twitter.com/Uptomyknees/status/597255682253987840 Max was excited when he first heard it announced.
>>77379393
Seems like my first reaction.
Ouch.
>>77379347
I bet it's going to be this giant autistic essay on how Landis is clearly ripping off DMC. The nerd rage in this thread is palpable.
>>77379238
someone send this to Slott
i wanna see te two duke it out on twitter
>>77379515
Don't worry I think Max will point out how much he enjoyed Superior Spider-Man.
>>77376593
I hope Clark gets laid like crazy on that boat, I need to see how people react to slutty Supes
>>77378989
I don't know what the general consensus is but I'm half way through Busiek's Secret Identity and I'm really enjoying it at the moment.
>>77378954
>punishing himself by killing Doomsday
How is that punishment? He wasn't strong enough so he died. And it's not like Superman bothered to punish himself over killing Darkseid, his parademons, those Golden Age criminals, Brainiac, or Imperiex. I want these faggots with their headcanon to leave.
>>77380164
>literally have to go back to golden age.
That shit barely counts at this point.
>>77380205
>Superman prior to having his balls taken away by the Comic Code doesn't count
Why don't people use this logic on Batman, and argue that he should always be portrayed as Adam West?
>>77380229
>Why don't people use this logic on Batman, and argue that he should always be portrayed as Adam West?
Because that's not the logic I'm using dumb-ass. Its an outdated aspect of the character, these pages were made with out the foresight of what superman would become.
>>77380404
>muh superman
Your Superman sucks, but I'm curious as to what you think that "Superman has become."
>>77380471
If I had to define superman, I see him more as a character who lived his life as a human first and kryptonian second. The duality of of Clark and superman is that Clark is the true identity between clark/superman. Superman is essentially the idea brought forth through Jor-el's teaching, its not who Clark is, but what he strives to be.
>>77380722
How does this conflict with Superman not having an explicit kill code? The entire point of the portrayal that you mentioned is that Superman is "a man but super," a guy from Kansas who just wants to do good, not some infallible, unrelatable, alien god always capable of somehow finding another way (because plot).
>>77380845
Because what you mention(golden age supes) doesn't really apply, golden aged superman can hardly be called superman. He was stories were written as someone above consequence because what he is doing is "good". Its a guy abusing his powers because he has said powers. There's no real thought put into it because it was written to get a story out.
>>77377090
That's a... lot of... ellipsis... you pretentious fuck.
Jeez the ego on this guy.
>>77380164
>Darkseid
He didn't kill Darkseid.
>Parademons
Soulless automatons devoid of any life that only walk and talk because Darkseid wills them to.
>GA criminals
Oh fuck off, like Batman still uses guns.
>Brainiac
He didn't kill Brainiac either, read the start of New Krypton where Brainiac kills Clark's dad and Supes fantasizes about killing him for that but doesn't do that because it would betray what Jonathan taught him
>Imperiex
He didn't kill Imperiex either, he threw him back into the Big Bang and literally just recreated him because Imperiex WAS the Big Bang
>>77381573
>He didn't kill Darkseid
He sung Darkseid to death.
>parademons
>Soulless automatons devoid of any life
A parademon was actually a member of the Secret Six.
>GA criminals
Most of modern Batman actually does draw from his gritty Golden Age portrayals; the work of Neal Adam and Frank Miller was entirely focused on scrubbing away the bullshit, "giving Batman his balls back" as Frank put it, and bringing him back to those roots. But for whatever, reason, in regard to Superman, people have this tendency to ignore his Golden Age portrayals and act as if Silver Age Superman, influenced by the Comic Code, has been the sole incarnation of the character for 60 years.
>Brainiac
He killed Brainiac 13 when he killed Imperiex, and then, later on in Brainiac, punched Vril Drox out of his ship, exposing him to Earth's pathogens.
>read the start of New Krypton where Brainiac kills Clark's dad and Supes fantasizes about killing him
Murdering someone in revenge is far more malevolent and morally suspect than killing in self defense.
>>77383391
>He sung Darkseid to death.
No, he didn't. Read The Return of Bruce Wayne by literally the same writer.
>A parademon was actually a member of the Secret Six.
Secret Six was Simone writing for her Tumblr audience. Canon mattered less compared to whether or not cute and quirky moments could be written and posted on Tumblr. Parademons are soulless automatons mass produced in machines and they would all drop dead if Darkseid expressed the thought.
>He killed Brainiac 13 when he killed Imperiex, and then, later on in Brainiac, punched Vril Drox out of his ship, exposing him to Earth's pathogens.
And Vril Dox didn't die from that. He was captured and imprisoned by the US government so Luthor could experiment on him.
Brainiac 13 was just an AI version of Brainiac from the future. It existed at the same time as the real Brainiac and was not alive either.
>Murdering someone in revenge is far more malevolent and morally suspect than killing in self defense.
And that's why Superman didn't do it. He was tempted to, but he didn't, because he has a fucking code against killing.
>>77377372
>mj doesn't have a gag reflex
>>77376492

I'm getting this fuckin variant.
>And that's why Superman didn't do it. He was tempted to, but he didn't, because he has a fucking code against killing
Revenge is always bad in fiction. You don't need to have a kill code not to commit literal cold blooded murder. Besides, "I don't have a kill code. I just don't like doing it," as Landis wrote, perfectly describes the values of someone who agonizes over putting down Doomsday and banishes himself from the planet for killing Zod.
>Vril Dox didn't die from that
No thanks to Superman.
>>77377090
Oh boy I can't wait for Mike and Jay to tiptoe around this faggot's ego and awkwardly agree with Max about how "hard" it is to produce original ideas in the current film industry
>>77376347
I'm already hyped for it like a spinning rotor blade.
>>77376790
Yeah, too bad this mini isn't set in the nu52.
>>77377045
Is he trolling us? No way he'd get along with Mike and Jay irl.
>>77377372
Still better than Slott. I hope Marvel will notice him.
>>77384394
How about some sauce with that baloney?
It was good.
While the dialogue could use some tweaking here and there, it was more fun than any of the Superman books in a long time.
>>77377149
I like the idea of Jonathan wanting to help Clark not feel weird and figure out his powers, BUT that's already been done better and years ago. The rest of this, except for the art work, was really just poorly thought out.
There's a few interesting ideas, like the movie in the park, but others are just idiotic (mullet Pete Ross?) or simplistic.
>>77378981
Max is POSTING. He's probably offering college credit to USC film school students to post here, tmblr and every other site.

>>77383578
Fucking thank you.
I'm not the only one that thinks this "Don't Kill or You'll Be Just as Bad as They Are" shenanigans is crap, right?
>>77383578
He sung Darkseid to Death. Nothing in The Return of Bruce Wayne stated that Darkseid didn't die. The Hyper-Adapter was going to transform Batman into Darkseid, but the OG Darkseid died.
The Parademons are live beings, as well. Some writers like to portray them as automatons, but they're wrong. Geoff Johns knows shit about New Gods.
>>77379083
No you fucking cunt Clark is clearly regretting whatever the fuck happened since he's looking pretty distressed and is even crying while emo fuckboi on the other side is getting off on him being a "bad boy" or whatever the fuck
>>77386782
Marvel disagrees.
>>77376593
>The wealthy elite are celebrating the return party of the mysterious Wayne fortune heir after his studies abroad
>A plane crash-lands by the yatch
>A young dark haired man who carries himself like he could crush anyone there climbs out nonplussed
>The wealthy elite assume it's Bruce Wayne making an entrance
>Clark is too polite to argue
>>77384115
But I thought they weren't so into blatant objectification.

There's wifi in the sewers? Is she stealing it from Donnie?
