>>4195Oh, I have some of my father’s old Superman comics
You guys probably know for certain about the Death of Superman, but I like how they played around with the concept of “replacing him” for a bit. Haven’t read any modern comics, so I can’t compare, and mostly will make assumptions, but I wanna express my love of how they handled it then.

Anyone watch the joker movie yet? If so, how was it?
Anyone watch the venom movie?
I saw the venom movie, cgi was great, story was a bit shakey, over all, 8 out of 10. I LOVE it and i can't wait for the sequel. (I love the fact that eddie was an absolute mess, you know. A regular guy freaking out, jumping in a lobster tank, grimy looking with no time to change to expencive clothing. Just your regular, symbiote possessed average Joe)
Great comic book anti-hero too.
Anyone gonna watch the Crisis on Infinite Earths television event?
How do guys feel about
Marvel?
DC?
personally, after all the weird pollitical stuff, i'm tired of modern comicbooks.
Whenever i get the chance, i'm gonna read my first comic book: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?
Haven't read it in years, and i might talk about it here after i read it..
I forgot i just read several comicbooks about the silencer, great new dc character by the way, gread series.
Another question i have is : what is your favorite comicbook character?
No.4834[D][DF]
>>4220I still haven't seen it yet. The reason is because I never have anyone to go with. People are always busy.
I'd go alone, but I've never gone to the movies without someone, and going alone just seems weird.

A NEWFAGS GUIDE TO COMIX
(I'll post resources to everything below)
As we all know, as the times became politically extreme, comicbooks seems a little less fun to read. Well how does a newfag or even an oldfag getting into comicbooks, Well, get into comicbooks again?
Dont buy comic books. Or grapic novels.
Only buy stuff that you like. If the comic book is priced more higher then a dollar, then it's a ripoff. Why? Because comic book companies started to reprint older comicbooks, which lowered the value. Of course, knowing the GDR system helps.
Grapic novels arent a great deal either. Why? They can put only so much stuff into it, so they might take out comicbooks, and youll miss the full story. Do reasearch into what your going to buy.
Best way to read comicbooks is to go online, or to a library.
I would reccomend that you read by a character by character basis. I.e find a character that your interested in, and start with the first comic book he/she appears in, all the way to the last comicbook. You know, the 1940s onwards. And if it splinters off to another character, and if you like it, keep going onwards.
And finally,
Study the writers, companies, editors, other people connected to the comicbook.

Anyone read doomsday clock yet?
Slightly sucks, but it patches a lot of mistakes that dc made over the years.
>the comic archttps://readcomiconline.to/Comic/Doomsday-Clock>the wikipedia articlehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_Clock_(comics)Spoilers below
[spoiler]Malcom loungs (rorshach's black psychiatrist) son becomes the next rorshach.
Some watchmen characters migrate to the dc univerce
Dc plans to do a crossover with marvel
Batman has a daughter and dr manhattan has a son
Jonathan and Martha Kent brought back to life
Dc univerce is now a metaverce, not a multiverce. Meaning that it's in constant change
And the justice society is back for the 9000th time.[/spoiler]
If anyone has any other comicbook related news, your welcome to post it.
Kinda wondering how long these companys are going to last. Dc mentioned in the story that it might last untill 2065 (i think)

i've read comics that are adapted from various books, and they all seem quite lovely. Do androids dream of eletric sheep, a nice word for word adaption of philip k dick, done by warren ellis. Logans run, by adventure comics, another beutiful adaption word for word, drawn by the same guy who made the elf quest series. and the last one i read is a true classic, but not as faithful as the other comics i mentioned, john carter, warlord of mars. adapted by marv wolfman. if your new to comics, read it! if not, and you havent read it, might as well do it anyway. the story takes place inbetween the original john carter book, but you don't exactly need to read it to enjoy the story.

I've been watching a show on netflix recently and it's been quite lovely.
It's called daredevil
every season (around three) has a diffrent perspective on the characters, and they develop quite well. the main character, matt murdoch is a hero not because of his powers, but it's his civic duty, and he doesn't even have money, or superpowers in the way you would think. just martial arts, and hightend senses. (although he is blind) he doesn't even have the perfect life, he almost loses his frens, and his job. the only thing that keeps him going is his faith which is something you don't see. and some modern shows tend to play cheesy pop music which they dont do, and matt always gets injured terribely and has to deal with his injurys the next day. humor wise, its not overbearing where it takes you out of the story, or it's too serious where there's no fun at all. nor do you need to read comics at all to enjoy this show. i must say, its quite gorey but it's bearable to see.>>4195

ok so there's the old joker from the 40's
the joker from the killing joke who's sort of evil but campy at the same time (aka the original), and the new 52 joker.
so besides the killing joke joker, the other are like, just there? also in the killing joke graphic novel, joker's wife had a miscarrageand also got killed so why are they alive and how the hell did batman figure out joker's identity? so many plot holes.
No.9476[D][DF]
>>9473It's only 3 issues so it wont take up too much of your time
>>9474Oddly enough, I dont think New 52 Joker is any of the jokers in the story, and if he is one of them its not really clear which one, since the only canon deed we get for the third joker is killing Jason Todd. I guess Johns is too busy jerking to old alan moore stories to acknowledge current continuity. His clear affinity for the Killing Joke is odd though since, as you said, 3 jokers directly contradicts it
No.9477[D][DF]
>>9476what sort of tragic too is that alan didnt want the killing joke to be a main part of the continunity because it was "too dark", he just wrote it because he wanted to tell a story and play with jokers origin, see how batman would react if he was pushed to his breaking point.
he said that if he knew that they would make it cannon, he would've never wrote it.
No.9555[D][DF]
>>9477Killing Joke is usually only seen as half canon by most fans at least because its pretty clear the ending implies batman killed the joker. And killing joke being kinda canon did give his Barbara as Oracle which most people agree was when she was at her best. So Killing Joke being canon was really a net positive

Alright /b/, Let's talk our favorite versions of Spiderman! Any version from any media with him in it. Personally, i like the andrew garfield version, He was a dick, who was hated by everyone, with a sharp sense of humor, whist still caring about the people he loved. Reminds me of the older comic book version, who was hated by both the fantastic four AND the avengers, he went put of his way to actually bully flash thomson. (I'm guessing stan lee actually based spiderman off of himself since he uses the same catchprases, and a similar personality, but that could be a stretch) Not a perfect movie series, but a good characterisation to say the least.

>I'm guessing stan lee actually based spiderman off of himselfI dont know how true this is but I think Peter Parker was actually pretty much a Steve Ditko self insert but I dont know how much there is to support this apart from the fact that they look alike and they're both introverted assholes
