Comics!

I'd say he's more bitter than crazy. His overarching point is that superhero culture has played a large role in the infantilization of the public, which lead to certain political outcomes he disagrees with etc.

Even if I disagree with him, it's not an insane concept.
 
I'd say he's more bitter than crazy
but being bitter doesn't make him sane
even if he has a legit reason to be bitter
he's bitter over situations where he felt he was fucked over
but if we agree with Alan Moore that Alan Moore was fucked over, than it really just makes him look even more crazy

his bitterness could have been used to do productive things
like Image comics being created when Todd McFarlane felt that Marvel and DC were fucking over the creators of individual comic characters

and instead of bitching about the industry as a whole (the industry which gave him all his money and the fame to have people hear him bitch)
he could just be bitter an bitch about the specific people that fucked him over like when a writer/artist gets pissed off at one comic company and starts doing the exact same job working for another, or how Nicolas Cage ended up playing Marvel Comics character Ghost Rider only After the whole thing where Nick Cage almost played DC character Superman

Jack Kirby died broke
Jack's wife kids and grandkids blamed Stan Lee and eventually became super rich by winning a lawsuit where a judge basically agreed with them that Jack had gotten fucked over and should have had a fortune in his bank account when he died

Alan Moore getting fucked over isn't resulting in Alan Moore making more money or any kind of improvement of the industry he's complaining about
it's just resulting in Alan Moore making the crazy rants about how superhero culture somehow affecting political elections and causing Brexit
 
Superhero culture is a part of mainstream culture.
in America
superhero-dorks are liberal democrats to the point where the popularity of the Superhero movies got Joe Biden into office
as opposed to dumb-ass Alan Moore thinking superhero dorks voted for Trump getting into office
the popularity of superhero movies didn't put Trump in office, it prevented Trump from getting the second term
 
See this is how I know you're too retarded to understand what he's saying, you think he's talking about the voting pattern of "superhero dorks" lmao just shut the fuck up you stupid cunt. :lol:
 
Barack Obama getting on the cover of The Amazing Spiderman totally helped Obama get a second term
the idea that superhero movies putting Donald Freaking Trump into office is just completely ludicrous
most American Hard-Core comic-book-dorks recognized Donald Trump as the guy that they already hated before he even decided to run for 2016 president
 
the voting paterns of superhero dorks prevented donald trump from getting a second term you dumb-ass
 
seriously
Dick Grayson becoming Batman made sense (and even Terry McGinnis, kinda) but Tim Fox becoming Batman was just What-the-fucking-hell??? kinda moment
so apparently any random male in Gotham can get in-shape, put on a mask and become Batman now??
this is pretty clearly DC doing a "black Batman" thing the way that Marvel did a "Black Spider-Man thing" with Miles Morales
 
One of the comic shops I visit is running their twice annual bargain comic sale. Stuff is 50 cents a book. And they've got a reported 40,000 books to offer. I took the trip yesterday. While most of the stuff was material I either had or didn't want, I did find a few things. Some Sgt. Rock, some various Richie Rich comics, a few Doctor Who comics from the Marvel Comics series and a couple of random things that caught my eye.

But the big takeaway was a nearly complete set of the Jon Sable, Freelance series by Mike Grell. There's 56 issues in the series and I got 51 of them yesterday.

what are your thoughts on this??

To be honest, I've stopped reading most of DC and Marvel superhero titles. So my interest in what they are doing is extremely limited.

Bruce Wayne is always Batman regardless of whatever crazy shit the publishers pull to make people think otherwise.

it seems like Marvel and DC aren't even really trying to make good superhero COMICS anymore because they're just competing to make good superhero MOVIES

Don't look for me to argue with you on that point. Most of my pull list is made up of non-superhero titles from smaller companies and the stuff I get from Marvel is either Star Wars or Conan related or on the rare occasion that they publish new stories attached to something I read growing up like New Mutants or Power Pack.

DC, I don't think I have any regular titles I pick up from them at all. Although I did pick up the first issue of the new Checkmate miniseries because I was a big fan of the original series back in the 80's/90's.
 
i kinda gave up reading Marvel comics when they did an entire issue of The Amazing Spider-man that didn't actually have Spider-man in it
the "supporting cast" had so much shit going on with their lives that i ended up paying for the issue of Amazing Spider-man that didn't have either Spider-man or Peter Parker in it at all

An issue of Spider-man that didn't have Spider-man in it seemed really lame, and since i had actually paid for that issue i felt ripped-off

i kinda liked reading Superior Spiderman but then i was pissed about the way they did the re-numbering after Superior Spiderman
i kept waiting for Amazing Spiderman #701
