Good evening owls of /co/,

our grand project is done

let us begin anew
>>
>>82534068
HI OP

I'm preparing for tomorrow, when the masses get CWII. It's gonna be beautiful.
>>
Just cause we loved Wildfire doesn't mean we have to read about every exploding hero
>>
>>82534068
Was Captain Atom even in the JSA?
>>
>>82534095
I completely forgot about CWII

I can't wait for the masses to see Shulkie take a missile to the tits
>>
>>82534095
I am very curious as to what the reaction will be from comics fans not hardcore enough to haunt the sites that ran all the leaked issue, yes
>>
>>82534110
Captain Atom was on a team with Black Canary at least once, and Canary was on the JSA. One degree of separation.
>>
>>82534109
Don't we? Do we have a reading list for the Human Bomb?
>>
>>82534095
A couple of the popular comic sites covered scanbro's storytime so I think the masses have to mostly know by now, right?
>>
>>82534110
we're ecumenical in our reading habits, here

>>82534136
there we go!
>>
>>82534143
nah, there's still a shitload of comics readers that avoid leaks and stuff

did any major sites besides BC run the spoilers?
>>
>>82534095
I hope people are mad because most people who heard about the leaks weren't impressed by them
>>
>>82534143
Many news sites are still treating the leak/s like it didn't happen. A lot of people I've come across legit don't know.
>>
>>82534068
Hello Storyteller.

... It's weird that we're done with the Legion. But hey, Captain Atom, which I have read nothing of.
>>
>>82534166
I can't wait to see all the inevitable 10/10 reviews
>>
>>82534162
I know at least Outhousers had it too
>>
>>82534190
We still have some odds and ends we haven't gotten to.
>>
>>82534218
Shit, I can't wait for all the people to buy Civil War I not knowing they just bought a Millar comic.
>>
I've read some of the Ditko Captain Atom and I have to say it's one of the ugliest costumes I've ever seen
>>
>>82534222
Outhousers isn't a major anything.
>>
>>82534250
It's a major piece of shit is what it is.
>>
OP, have you read Thunderbolts yet?
>>
Here's hoping for #titgate
>>
>>82534218
I too can't wait for them, just to see how they justify that 10/10
>>
>>82534126
Sorry, had to stick the dog

Been going MUCH better with the treat bribery involved

>>82534261
I have actually still not, wtf self
>>
>>82534246
Yeah, the all-silver look is a great improvement.
>>
>>82534126
>>82534149
>agreeing to have unspecified SCIENCE done to you by a guy named Dr. Megala
... Yeah, Nate. This won't go badly AT ALL.

>>82534231
There's a Legion/Star Trek crossover. Which still blows my mind.
>>
>>82534282
Oooh that's pretty
>>
>>82534282
These are the nice new digital scans; I wonder if the older ones out there have the letters in them, and if anyone's anal enough to tag the letters onto the digital scans? I love it when they do that.
>>
>>82534316
I find myself preferring digital scans for older comics, but I can't put into words why.
>>
>>82534312
Well, he agreed under let's just say extreme duress...
>>
>>82534231
I could run Superboy's Legion as an extra.
>>
>>82534316
The conversion looks really clean and accurate. Top work.
>>
>>82534312
It's pretty good. There's also Superboy's Legion, Spider-Boy, and that one Gates' Supergirl annual.
>>
>>82534266
>#titgate
Do I even want to know?

>>82534282
>I have actually still not, wtf self
Honestly, the art is not the worst I've seen, though it is pretty bad. I've heard arguments that it's an intentional 90s throwback, but I call bullshit.
>>
>>82534305
It's bizarre because usually Ditko knocked it out of the park when he designed a character
>>
Not sure how to feel in these new dark waters, unanchored by the legion.
>>
>>82534364
Better than a webcomic artist in any case
>>
>>82534364
War Machine killed She-Hulk in a way that wouldn't be out of place in Injustice.
>>
>>82534348
Because the bright colors were made to stand out against the dull newsprint, and putting them on white makes them look garish.
>>
>>82534404
Sly phrasing, 8/10.
>>
>>82534348
They're cleaned up but they've kept the flat coloring, so you can really see the linework

>>82534364
I was working on getting ready to do some painting tomorrow, prep is essential
>>
>>82534423
Recoloring old comics with gradients is a fucking awful practice.
>>
>>82534423
>>
>>82534423
Speaking of linework, hnnnnnng.

even if that's true it's still pretty ugly

Oh right, that. I was afraid this was yet more shit about nerds aping out over "DA SJWS TAKIN AWAY MAH TITTIES".

>>82534377
Well, Captain Atom is kinda similar to Wildfire, so consider it a transition of sorts?
>>
>>82534475
WOooo, Cham
>>
>>82534464
I'm glad to see the noob Lanterns looking happy, and Barry (and Wondy's nice thigh)

I am less happy that the panel is Hal introducing his replacements to the JL/Barry who he won't see again for years
>>
>>82534521
This is quite the body horror
>>
>>82534512
It is technically taking away titties in that it is blowing them up.
>>
>>82534501
Yeah, there's nicer looking 90's art. Even Bagley, who I loathe, was less of an eyesore.
>>
>>82534475
I'm really disturbed that this is the only time Cham's pulled this master stroke

>>82534564
>>82534580
I think we should read some of that some time just because it's good comics
>>
>>82534450
though new comics with gradients also often look like trash, makes everything look really fake and not in a good way
>>
>>82534637
Also, fuck you Eiling.
>>
>>82534580
I've got the Simonson Omni, but I've never read anything else, pre-Onslaught, because Thor torrents are a bitch and a half to find, because Thor's a mythological figure so it's not easy narrowing torrent searches down.
>>
>>82534638
But it's even worse with old comics that were drawn with flat coloring in mind.
>>
>>82534603

What the sprock did you just fucking say about OP, you little squaj? I’ll have you know OP graduated top of their class in the Legion Academy, and they've been involved in numerous rescue missions to Sector 2814, and they have over 9000 storytime threads. They are trained in shipping and they're the top anon in the entire UP. You are nothing to them but just another shitposter. They will wipe you the sprock out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Oa, mark my sprocking words. You think you can get away with saying that grife to them over the Internet? Think again, squaj. As we speak they are contacting their secret network of Legionnaires across space and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. They can be anywhere, anytime, and they can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with their husbando's bare intellect. Not only are they extensively trained in random team-ups, but they have access to the entire arsenal of the Science Police and they will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little sprock. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your sprocking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re sprocking dead, kiddo.
>>
>>82534637

Doesn't it also have some nice long form plotting
>>
>>82534660
Eiling is a top-notch asshole
>>
Did Ditko work on Captain Atom? Or was it just Blue Beetle?
>>
>>82534666
No arguments there, Satan. Flat's a good look when you manage your palette well.
>>
>>82534603
I mean, considering she drools over women and men alike, I'd say she's probably bisexual.
>>
>>82534638
> Bad colorists can, and often do, overwhelm the art with poor choices. The computer age has had positive and negative impact on both coloring and lettering, and in much the same way. Too many times artists have been replaced with technicians, people with a box of toys who want to play with all of them, all the time

Does anyone else feel weird when John Byrne says something rational?
>>
>>82534687
Captain Atom, Blue Beetle, and the Question. Not sure if he did other Charlton characters as well.

Yes, very. It's like agreeing with your senile uncle.
>>
>>82534687
Both

He worked on Atom both before and after working for Marvel. When he returned he gave the character a new costume and Ted Kord was introduced as aback up feature. Then Ted got his own comic and the Question became a back up in The Blue Beetle
>>
>>82534367
I like Ditko's first Captain Atom design even if it isn't one of his best. The silver arms one is ugly as sin though.
>>
>>82534710
Broken clock, etc. Byrne's art sensibilities are also credible, even when none of the rest are.
>>
>>82534709
I think it's less "drooling" and more "artistic appreciation".

Either way it's still fun to laugh about it.

He can be sane every once in a while. Like when he said that the problem with adapting the Dark Phoenix Saga is that people forget that what makes the story is the slow build up to the end.

That thing about Morrison having total dibs on the Charlton characters can't be true since we're getting Ted Kord ala Giffen, but no one seems to care enough to bring me Nightshade :(

Eiling yelling names of dead people is off-putting and hilarious

God that's an ugly helmet.

I don't think I've ever seen Peacemaker in a comic, I just recognize the helmet. Wasn't he part of the original Checkmate?

That inadvertently hilarious Green Arrow: SJW thread reminded me of a line we got in Grell, that dominates Ostrander Squad, and that's popping up here, with the military-industrial complex and its shadier sides. A bit dated and yet always relevant.
>>
>>82534953
there's a Vulture article about Bucky that does a pretty good job explaining it all to comics n00bs

Nice visual parallelism here; oversized first issue
>>
>>82534995
What made Ostrander great was that he could present both sides of an argument without clearly being on one
>>
>>82535017
>>82535027
That is true, but I don't think his feelings on Iran-Contra were terribly subtle
>>
>>82534935
Does Eiling have a bet with General Ross to see who can be the bigger asshole?

>if anyone's anal enough to tag the letters onto the digital scans?

If they're the old fandone scans? The letters are there if you grab anything marked c2c. You also get any ads from the issue which can sometimes be fun.

Officially distributed scans by the company for Comixology or any other post iPad reader won't have anything like that, though. They're just straight reprints of the story like a TPB.

And I kinda wish I gave a shit about Harley and Ivy. They kissed in the new Bombshells, which really surprised nobody.

But then, does anyone else find it kind of annoying that DC's most notable lesbian couple is of two psychopaths? That probably shouldn't bother me, but it does.

People who do sexuality swaps seem to not have that respect classic pairings or they'd find a way to not shit on them.

I used to have a chunk of old Thor scans from back when I used to hang out on the comic scans IRC, but I think I lost them to a hard drive failure at one point.

Shame. I think that same harddrive had all the old Civil War I'm With Banners I'd saved from early days /co/, and those'd be fun to post nowadays.
>>
>>82535439
Because of Bennett's lesbian boner?
>>
>>82535439
there's a scattered mix of characters that do and don't exist

like Arthur is around but Bruce is just a child, and Hal is around but he's a British pilot

I don't think Scott's been mentioned at all, Barda is just banging Kimiyo instead of him
>>
>>82535460
I do, he's my favorite New God.

>>82535517

... What?

>>82535439
That reminds me, I was browsing through the archives of our first few Legion threads, and I came across that image of Aquawoman eyeing Mera.

Do you think either of them would be down? I mean, they're both genderswapped version of their respective significant others...

I feel like Darkseid has become a detriment to the New God mythos. Everything with the New Gods is either Darkseid, or something to do with him. It'd be nice to see some of those other characters for once.

Consistently a fuckstick? I mean, Bates knows how to characterize a guy, that bit with the envelope, presumably intended for Adam's family being torn in half was perfect.

Oh, I know. Still a "What?" though.

I hate this shit about Harley and Ivy being turned into antiheroes. They're both fucking evil, and they are not role models. This needs to stop.
>>
>>82535663
Since then, maybe? Or else I'm conflating a bit of what's happened in actual Ivy appearances with what the noisiest fandom wants to happen and will tell you about in detail

>>82535690

None whatsoever!

MBenz is just making changes on a whim, like Supergirl and Stargirl being Russian stepsisters

So why wouldn't the god like being that is Captain Atom,not just tell the pathetic mortal Eiling to fuck off?

anti-heroes aren't ever really meant to be role models though, that's two separate issues to me
>>
>>82535737
>Like, does this have any precedent whatsoever?
No, but they're clearly the odd characters out in that them having a storyline would be unlikely, along with Waller.
They're more likely to just show up everywhere together.

>>Like, does this have any precedent whatsoever?
Absolutely none, unless maybe if you consider Dr. Light being on JLI with Mr. Miracle for a bit.

Captain Atom in this is basically Doctor Manhatten with the serial numbers filed off and WITHOUT a full awareness of what he can do.
He does something later in the series that suggests he's got identical powers to Manhatten but doesn't use them because he has psychological blocks put up since the implications scare the shit out of him.
>>
>>82535801
I think he just failed to adjust to modern expectations
>>
>>82535766
He has fucking broken powers, but he's still just a guy who probably wants to see his kids at some point.
>>
>>82535818
He used to be a comics editor iirc

I think he pissed off Neil Gaiman for something Death related at some point too

Good writers end up crap years later for various reasons. New/different expectations, running out of ideas, recycling ideas, etc.
It's worse with writers who were just okay or wishy washy.
>>
>>82535849
In this very series. But he didn't make him mad, Greg just got something wrong and Neil set the record straight in a later comic.
>>
>>82534995
That shows up plenty of other places through the 80s-early 90s.

Hama's GI Joe, for all it's toy sales propogandism, had a deeply cynical view of what soldiers were actually used for, best exemplified by Sierra Gordo's North American Banana Monopoly.

COMIC LEGEND: In a recent DC animated short, Greg Weisman picked up a plot point that he was going to explore 25 years earlier in a mini-series that was scrapped when Mike Grell took over the Green Arrow mythos.

STATUS: True

Greg Weisman has had a long and successful career in animation, as both a writer and a producer. He is perhaps most known for the acclaimed TV series, Gargoyles, which he developed and showran.

Well, around 1983/1984, when Weisman was roughly 21 years old, he began work on a pitch for a Black Canary mini-series. The pitch was approved and Weisman began work on the four-issue series, with art by comic book veteran Mike Sekowsky. The pace was slow-going, but by 1985, Sekowsky had drawn the first issue and had begun on the second issue.

Weisman planned on tying in with the acclaimed Alan Moore short story featuring Green Arrow and Black Canary, and in Weisman’s mini-series, the relationship between Arrow and Canary would progress to the next level. I don’t know if he was going to actually go so far as to have them get engaged, but close to it.

However, around this time, comic book great Mike Grell was being drawn to DC Comics by newly minted editor Mike Gold, and Gold pitched Grell on doing with Green Arrow what Frank Miller had done with Batman (Grell had drawn Green Arrow for a time in the Green Lantern/Green Arrow series). Grell agreed, and the Longbow Hunters was begun.

>Uh huh. Storyteller "appreciates" the "artistic" merit of Nura Nal's ass. Wink wink.

Wouldn't you?
It's pretty dreamy.
>>
>>82535926
Grell, though, specifically did NOT want Ollie and Dinah to be engaged, so Weisman’s long-awaited comic book debut was squelched.

Too bad, but at least Grell’s Green Arrow was good!

Fast forward more than two decades later, and Weisman was writing the script to DC Showcase: Green Arrow, a short animated feature included as an extra on the Superman/Batman: Apocalypse DVD last year.

In the feature, Oliver Queen is at th airport waiting to pick up his girlfriend, Dinah Lance.

>>Twenty-five years later, but Weisman got to get at least part of his story told!

Thanks to Greg Weisman, who shared this nifty story to reporters at last year’s San Diego Comic Con.

Man, and at this point they've both been horrifying superstrong giants, too so it also works literally.

I think terrorism of the current variety is now the comparative pre-occupation, that and invasive technology

Man, it feels weird to see Captain Atom getting mad over RFK. He's been a gung-ho Republican type for so long now.

>>82535980
oh that's right, we're in Canada now

It's sort of inevitable the way DC and the Big Two in general treat romance and relationships.

>>82536128
I think it's just inevitable with how omnipresent Batman's villains are.
>>
>>82536128
Yeah, if they were actually two heroines you bet your ass they would be separated by now, see: Kate and Maggie.

>>82536125
wait, author, he'd been surprised by those assassinations when he got woken up
>>
>>82535277
I've read two issues of Bombshells here on /co/ and they were both pretty much incoherent preaching. I really don't see the appeal. It doesn't even feel like 1941. Why the fuck would you do Donald Trump vs. Communist Batgirlism in 1941? There was a war on!
>>
>>82536162
Plastique time!
>>
>>82536159
Kate and Maggie are together in Bombshells, though

it's not like Harley and Ivy are actually together outside of a few teases other than Bombshells
>>
>>82535277
Megala's dialogue here is pretty choice. Would translate well to a movie or something.

He's the most macho hero out there. He's like what Guy Gardner THINKS he is only with Carter he's 100% serious about it and everyone agrees with him.

Yeah, and I'm saying "not surprised".

Speaking of female sexuality, I should probably save this question for the next time we do a porn comics, but fuck it.

Femanons, what is the female equivalent of dick size? Like, what is the ideal state of one's vagina? Is it about size, color, etc? Dreadfully curious for some reason.
