Good evening owls of /co/,
No, no, this isn't the Dean Motter, that's great.
This is the Digglebolts character who started out in, yep, Frank Tieri Wolverine.
The seat is free--but you'll only need the edge...
>>78256590
>>78256608
2001, what else was COMICS around this time?
>>78256635
He's singing "Mack the Knife" but with inferior English lyrics
can you feel the edge yet
>>78256590
Hello Storyteller.
>The seat is free--but you'll only need the edge...
Pfft! Storyteller, I love you.
Haha jokes on you OP I'm sitting in a theater waiting for Star Wars
>>78256635
Morrison Xmen? I dunno that's a dark time
>>78256661
report back but no spoilers please
>>78256590
Hi OP. Since you promised that this wasn't as bad as Slade Titans,I'm ready for this.
>>78256650
This is all Illuminated Comics' fault, btw
okay, it's mine too
>>78256702
>Illuminated Comics' fault, btw
The gift that keeps giving
>>78256694
It's also from early 2000s, so it's an artifact of its times
they were very stupid times, but at least Piotr has dat ass
>>78256635
Morrison New X-Men, DnA Legion, and X Force/X-Statix
>>78256724
So it came out of his recent Thor edits with Malekith's edgy metal band, which made me think "But what about Mr. X?", to which he said, accurately:
"No, that dude is obviously a rapper."
and asked me if I'd read his one-shot, which led back into this scheissfest :D
>>78256739
X-Statix is amazing and Marvel is still afraid of it
>>78256766
ouch, I just cut myself
>>78256791
The 'great' thing with Tieri is, I can never quite tell if he's in on the joke, here
>>78256635
JMS Spidey would have been just starting.
>>78256702
Is it just me, or does Logan have anime eyes here?
>okay, it's mine too
At least this ought to be a fun kind of bad. Not like those Deadpool issues from yesterday. Ugh.
>>78256791
Not Camerahead!
>>78256766
It's so good
> I'm the superhero of the new age, I don't protect I just entertain
>>78256806
>>78256818
Waypool has a few quality panels here and there, but ugh ugh ugh
>>78256702
>Frank Tieri
>The Best
>>78256834
It was way ahead of the curve
>>78256850
So it's not just me but this guy is like a Wesker knockoff, right? Or is that later?
>>78256860
note: this is not our lovable much-missed Blok
yes, they are named "T and A"
>>78256791
>I must remember to order dessert BEFORE I kill everyone in the restaurant!
Does Logan kill this guy? Because I want this dude to go away and to stop being a thing.
>>78256590
>The seat is free--but you'll only need the edge...
Beautiful.
>>78256860
He looks exactly like Wesker...with shades of Goldman
>>78256838
It's the monkeys pounding on a keyboard principle: If you spout out enough stupid crap, odds are some it has to be entertaining.
>>78256877
Not to spoil you, and DON'T SPOIL IT, but Mr. X does eventually get what's coming to him. It will be a beautiful storytime. I promise.
>>78256906
>>78256935
>>78256860
>So it's not just me but this guy is like a Wesker knockoff, right?
He certainly looks like him, but has none of the stupid B-movie villain charm.
>>78256943
>pants: still mostly intact
>>78256955
>>78256906
What's with the watercolor wash background in the third panel? It's way too artsy for this.
>>78256968
>>78256973
If you had this script to draw, wouldn't you try to throw in some classy shit too?
>>78256992
Just stop and bask in these character designs
>>78257006
so the dudes didn't come and dig up my yard today, I hope they get on with it
>>78257031
The blonde is like a character you see in a fusion thread
>>78257006
Mister X employs two karate hookers and a generic giant Asian goon.
I am at a loss for words, somehow.
>>78257031
>>78257031
>>78257068
She looks unsure
> Are we really doing this?
>>78256791
The fact he killed somebody with an imac is what amuses me the most.
>>78257006
Frankly, I'm disappointed T and A have identical body types. Logically speaking, shouldn't one of them have bigger tits while the other has a bigger ass?
>>78257084
>>78257079
is it dumber than you thought it would be, even?
>>78257103
oh look who it is
>>78257096
there is no logic, there is only Tieri
>>78256818
I actually enjoyed Yesterday's Waypool. Some of the jokes could've been a lot better, but plenty more got a smile and chuckle out of me.

>>78257140

>>78257153
or "Are you a beer?"
>>78257103
The bottom panel is a pretty good way of both hiding the violence, but making it clear to the reader what happened.
The little subtlety being used here will be completely lost in a few years when we start doing full page spreads of people being ripped in half
>>78257172
>>78257103
Yeah, actually. Not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn't some edgy Stan Lee style shit.
>>78257111
And no jetpack in sight. Disappointing.
>>78257179
I honestly don't ever need to see that done again, at least not in a Big Two comic
>>78257103
>those backgrounds
It's like somebody stole unfinished David Mack pictures and drew a shitty Wolverine comic over them.
>>78257179
I don't think anyone was trying for subtle when the U.S. Army attacked Asgard
Man thinking more and more how dumb that was
>>78257200
This sequence demands this soundtrack:

>giant dude's name is Blok
That man is most certainly not a rock person.
>>78257245
>>78256953
There is something weirdly amusing about his casual attitude towards killing. He's so absent minded about it. "Oh I really must remember to order dessert before going on a rampage.."

Hearing the JMS side of the story makes it even more dumb
> Thor is a character nobody wanted to write
> Bendis and Mark Millar both turned it down
> JMS takes it on the condition that he doesn't have to deal with other Marvel universe plots
> JMS makes it into a hit
> Bendis writes an event that ruins his work and plots he was setting up
>>78257298
what this comic needs is Wolverine to punch some boulders
>>78257301
Bendis really is the reason we can't have nice things
>>78257330
>>78257344
>>78257330
JMS' runs on Thor and Spider-Man were both ruined in the end.*sighs*
>>78257301
Both sides fucked up in that.
JMS wanted a year with no interference, got it and then some, had the book delayed as fuck for a lot of his run too. Which is part of why that year promised extended.
>>78257370
would /fit/ approve?
>>78257330
On the bright side he's proud of how loyal he is to Marvel so unless Joe Q ever wrongs him he's contained to one company
>>78257224
>the U.S. Army attacked Asgard
Why did you have to remind me that this is a thing that happened?
>>78257301
>>Thor is a character nobody wanted to write
For real? .... Why? I mean, I'm not in any way a Thor fan, but really, no one?
>>78257392
That's true!
>>78256992
Wasn't there something like this in in one of Miller's stories? The one where he's rescuing Mariko from some guys in robot suits?
>>78257408
DRINK AGAIN
>>78257132
I wish I was allowed to drink at work
>>78257392
Does Bendis even have any Image books?
>>78257418
>>78257418
This is some Slade/Bullseye stuff here!

>>78257438
Nah, but he does do creator owned.
>>78257474
Logan joins the Bondage Society of America
>>78257402
>Why?
No idea, maybe there was a lot of pressure to reboot the character after Disassembled and Marvel really wanted to move away from the Kirby/Simonson stuff
>>78257471
>>78257475
huh, you'd think he be like some of the cool popular kids and do some Image work too.
>>78257486
BTW, not sure on the schedule, but I think we should get through our Thunderbolts reading by Monday or so? Trying to remember what else I threw out there for holiday/interregnum until Threeboot starts around New Years
>>78257486
didnt magneto do that to the xman once. he even had a french robomaid take care of them.
>>78257402
he's a god in a setting about superheroes, and not a made-up god either, an actual mythological figure.
>>78257489
I'm still digging up the Thunderstrike stuff, but I think no one had a good angle on that mythological side of things for a while, as well
>>78257541
Okay, this page is taking the piss
but still, drink

EDGY BACKSTORY TIME!
>>78257528
They were all tied up like babies because at some point in the Silver Age Magneto was deaged to a baby and this was his revenge.
Storytimer didn't you mention going back to BusiekBolts?
>>78257528
Yep, it was slightly less bondagey tho
>>78257474
so mephisto is to blame
>>78257528

Logan doesn't really operate as a Superhero in Canada.
Hell, he and the X-men got into a pretty rough scrap to keep him from being pressganged by Alpha Force.

What, you're not into casually misogynist Orientalism?
>>78257929
I'm not very fond of Wolverine, but I like his interactions with Nightcrawler.
>>78258049
Kurt is a delightful character, killing him was stupid.
>>78257993
Fraga was one of Liefeld's artists at Extreme/Maximum/Awesome studios
This is toned down compared to what he was drawing just a few years ago

I don't remember Northstar being all that pleasant about it.
>>78258174
>Logan has seen this hentai before and has no desire to be the uke in it
>>78258059
Doesn't Nightcrawler have like, legions of fangirls(and some fanboys)?
>>78258129
I'll admit I do enjoy that last panel.
>>78258174
Foul! Seriously...
>>78258187
It was mostly Vindicator, everyone else was in 80's battle speak mode. Also Nightcrawler and Aurora were flirting
>>78258187
Is Northstar capable of being pleasant about anything?
>>78258226
I don't understand how taskmaster suppose to work. sure he can memo everyones technique. But to pull most of he would need the same body type. Can't do capt america moves without having capt america body and reflexes.
>>78258237
Oh look, he's evolved into a douchebag haircut
>>78258143
I thought Deadly Hands of Kung Fu was pretty cool.
>>78258226
I'm actually surprised Logan didn't just slice off his tongue.
>>78258200
>>Doesn't Nightcrawler have like, legions of fangirls(and some fanboys)?
Kind of. Which is probably why they killed him, Marvel runs on pissing off fans these days.
>>78258251
that looks neat
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 70s were the kung fu comics heyday, yes?
>>78258249
is he gonna kill someone with a surfboard?
>>78258237
>all this superfluous narration
There is no reason whatsoever for that text. We can SEE the curtain being raised, so we don't need Logan to describe it to us. Goddamn, shut up!
>>78258279
>an early 2000s nümetal band.jpg
>>78258279
Yup, kung fu was the hip new thing back in the 70's.
>>78257970
Logan's married to what I can only assume is some kind of..themed Thai Prostitute?
>>78258285
Oh god, I hope so. I mean, look at this motherfucker.
>>78258314
Probably. Wolverine is kind of a slut.
>>78258279
Kung-fu and blaxploitation were the hottest shit at the time.
This is when we were graced with the likes of Karate Kid, I-Ching, and.... Tyroc. Hm.
>>78258313

Are you talking about Kung Faux?

>>78258435

totally gnarly, dude
>>78258445
>>78258454
>>78258421
Black Lightning and Richard Dragon being important and popular just seems so werid.
Popularity of characters changing over time kinda fascinates me. Like Harley seems to be the one of the hottest things right now and will continue to be unless they fuck her up in the DCEU or something.
>>78258437
that's the ones
>>78258467
>>78258507
Christ, this guy is THAT GUY annoying to the max
Tieri, you hack
>>78258445
>>78258454
This pointless narration is insufferable. The bit about poison was the only vaguely relevant thing in there. Otherwise Logan's just telling us what we're looking at.
>>78258526
This guy is just a Gary Stu/writers pet, isn't he?
>>78258526
>>78258526
Just say Gary Stu, you know you want to.
>>78258547
yes
But again, I promise you: he will get his. Spectacularly. I don't want to spoil it at all.
>>78258558
For some reason villain Gary Stus are usually even worse than Wesley Crushers
>>78258561

HE BASICALLY TOLD YOU HE WAS THE FIRST TIME HE SAT YOU DOWN FOR AN INFODUMP
>>78258572
I keep thinking his tattoos are tire track marks.
>>78258622
>oh goodness just look at the time
>>78258628
Now that's a fantasy with some legs to it
Jesus Christ, this guy reads like Wesley from Wanted; fucking awful.
>>78258633
>>78258608
>anticipated Taskmaster shooting a flaming arrow from under the floor
What is this guy,Wrath from Fullmetal Alchemist?
.... No. No, Wrath was cool. Mr. X is just lame.
>>78258644
>>78258641
Is that the "this is my face when I'm fucking you in the ass" guy?
>>78258597
>Well, Logan- ya wanted a piece of this guy in the /worst/ way...
Is Frank Tieri writing slash fiction for his own comics?
>>78258641
>>78258653
Yes, that's the same guy OP.
But at least...well, Wesley's superpower WAS killing.
This guy is just a bigger putz
>>78258653
Yes
>>78258572
Well yeah, they don't lose. And when you're the bad guy, you've got to lose.
>>78258653
So we don't actually have to read the next issue because the Mr. X plot is done. Shockingly, no one else used him, no one at all, until...
>>78258686
It's now 2010!
>>78258695
Do you know where Frank Tieri is? Because nothing has changed, except for the coloring.
>>78258653
"This is my face when I'm fucking you in the ass."
Who talks like that?
>Millar
Yeah, but still. Wanted got a movie. Heavily altered, but still.
>>78258709
At least with Millar there's usually a wink and a nudge, the crow is sucking cock for a reason
>>78258709
>>78258715
The line was even better in the movie
>"What have you done with your life?"
I can't wait until Millar does his CRISIS and Wesley gets his shit kicked int
>>78258715
>>78258715
Wanted is just pure juvenile power fantasy, there's no hidden layer to it
>>78258726
>>78258735
No, dude, there is exactly ONE layer to Wanted.
"This is the future you chose".
It's a pretty dumb layer, but it's still alayer.
Even the villains in Wanted miss the colorful silver age days in it
>>78258760
Alright, recap is done
>>78258767
that's an unmanly pout
>>78258724
>Millar does his CRISIS
Wait is Millar going to write a Crisis on Infinite Millerverse story or something with all his characters?
>>78258774
That's a lot of Wolverine cosplayers!
>>78258760
That last panel is great.
>Like, he's about to stab me in the face. Tch, what a bummer.
>>78258777
That's sort of what he's been building up to, yeah.
He's mentioned that he's going to be entering into a second phase or something soon, whatever.
