Yeah. I mean I didn't cry or anything but I'm not made of stone.

>>148990506 (OP)

Mirth? Yes

Anger? Yes but usually directed at the creator

No. Comics can't be serious inherently, it's in the fucking name. I guess if I were to read a non-fiction comic about some tragedy, but then it would end up me responding to the tragedy rather than the fact that it's an emotionally manipulative comic.

>>148994618
The important part is the "Home is run no more." The guy getting eaten by a seagull is missing the context of the dog saving him because he's "a good dog."

I recall reading Doktor Sleepless made me very emotional. No other comic has filled me with hatred like Warren Ellis having yet another mouthpiece protagonist whinging about how the police and government are all corrupt and incompetent, yet also need to be trusted to supply food, water, housing, etc. to everyone in society, and whining about how as company who bought his patent was making consumer goods instead of immediately leaping for the transhuman bullshit he expected. Calling it "boring."
After Ellis tacked on some discount Lovecraft shit with Elder Evils from Beyond eating his parents (which is why human extinction was for some reason a good idea), I realized that he needs an editor with a leash and a cattle prod ready to have him write something *good,* and that Transmetropolitan is probably the only worthwhile series he's added to comic books as a medium.

I had to put my old dog down two weeks ago. He'd been living with my brother for the last couple of years because I couldn't walk him often enough but I'd had him since a puppy so he still saw me as his primary human. Last night I had a dream where he was back in my apartment protecting me from sleep paralysis, but my stupid brain won't even let me have those moments because it immediately goes "oh this is a dream, because they're dead" whenever I meet someone dead and then I start lucid dreaming. I used the lucid dreaming to pet him, told him he was a good dog and that I was sorry for all the years he couldn't live with me and that it wasn't his fault, then I woke up.

Sandman is about a character called Morpheus, also known as Dream. He is one of the Endless, these anthropomorphic representations of high level concepts like destiny and death and destruction.
It starts out as a typical DC Vertigo horror book but turns into this beautiful story about stories and the man/god/thing that inspires them in all of us, pulling from mythology, history, classic literature, and more, getting really philosophical with it. He's a stoic, manipulative, mercurial asshole, and he catches beef with everyone from the Fates to the Fae to the Devil himself, and he's killed for it. In that death arc you can look back and realize that he knew what he was doing. It's implied that he had orchestrated the events that led to his death.

It's a great comic, everyone should read it.

I believe the Gaiman quote about it is something like "The plot of Sandman is the God of Dreams must change or die and he makes his choice."

It's essentially an elaborate way for a being who is, for all intents and purposes, an unchanging, immortal aspect of the universe to finally be able to escape the cycle of abuse and violence he himself is a agent in. He can't actually change, like a person, but he can remove his current incarnation and be reborn as a new version of himself. One who is kinder, less petty, less classically furious in his godhood, dolling out punishments and terrible curses when angered. It's not him, even in story it's clear it's not even symbolically the same individual, but it's a New Dream all the same and the old one has finally "changed."

>>148997801

Name of series? got interested

>>149008525
I'd like to dispute this. Dream's death comes because he finally finds the capacity to change. He stops being a petty bitch and gives his son the death craves. He knowingly made himself a target of the Kindly Ones by finally showing kindness to his kin. The choice was change or die and Dream said YES.

>>149008768
What I like the most about this one is the brevity of it. It's not drawn out like >>148991458 is. I'm not saying the longer one is bad or even necessarily worse.

I had to go back and re-read because I missed the setup - the doctor being on a derailed train Superman saves. I think that helped to make the scene work. Regan's doctor did get held up and he's just a small, incidental part of something that's not really that important to the overall story of All Star Superman, but is also really important at the same time. Because with everything else that's happening, the average person wouldn't give a fuck about Regan. But with everything else that's happening, Superman gives all the fucks about Regan, and about everyone else too. We all matter to him, and he sees us as more than the aggregate of all our faults, flaws, and failings.

>>149006402
I believe you are misinterpreting the events.
I don't think Sandman is some elaborate suicide plot for Morpheus. I don't believe he orchestrated the events that would lead to the Kindly Ones being sent after him. Dream does not know the future and is not really shown to be a schemer beyond the short term. When Desire tries to trick him into killing his kin for example, he is entirely unaware until close to the end of the storyline.
Morpheus truly believed he could 'beat' (or at least 'endure') the Kindly Ones and Rose using her boon when she did was unexpected and led to his death.

>>149013668
i know what mango means you fucking sped, if you want to talk about mangas go to the fucking manga board, why come into a thread about western comics and start talking about manga?

Oh my bad. I thought you took offense at the lingo.

Kingdom Come blew my fucking mind. Bought it on a whim as a teen, and it was my first exposure to Alex Ross. I was impressed by what I saw until I got this panel, and I just remember sitting there staring at the page. Just thinking "holy shit" to myself looking at this.

Jesus, I miss loving comics.

>>148991000

>I miss loving comics.
you could always try harder, or is that too hard?

>>149013724
And, on that note, this was the last comic I bought from the "Big 2" some 20+ years after I bought Kingdom Come. Been an avid comic fan since the late 90s, and each event and issue just wound up feeling weaker and more hollow and then I read this Superboy Prime comic and every fucking thing he said resonated with me. Particularly the line about edgy villains doing stupid shit and him having read it all before but better a long time ago. I still read the scans here from time to time, but this was the last time I need to own something about dudes with capes.

Does this actually happen?

>>149013827
No, that's not a real comic.

>>149013827
yes, around the age of 5 or 6. i remember reading about it when i was preschool worker. young kids associate talk with something and then they kind of stop one day and start thinking independently, its usually them mimicking their own parents asking them questions, but towards their toys.

Here's a weird one for you. Some of you may have grown up reading Nintendo Power in your lives. If you're like me, you dropped the magazine long before it completed it's run. But you probably remember reading the Howard and Nester comic that ran throughout it's run. I didn't discover this until years after it had run, but this was the final Howard and Nester comic. Enjoy.

>>149011153
Good pick. The ant line got me.

>>149014311
Every time I reread this issue, I think about how modern comic authors would rather literally slit their wrists than dare suggest that a foreign people should try to assimilate into their new country. Hell, I bet Ennis, himself, thinks this viewpoint was racist and ignorant and regrets writing it. But here it is, preserved in amber forever. Proof that everyone wasn't always batshit crazy.

>>149014352
And continuing the Ennis/Superman train, there's this page. Did Ennis ever get to write mainline Superman? Because it's clear from how he uses him in his Hitman appearances, that he genuinely loved the character despite being an immense edgelord.

who are you quoting?

>>149015249
Anon, I know you're brown, or possibly Irish (which is the same thing), so your empathetic abilities are primitive. But people can be nostalgic for almost anything. In the comic he's not crying, he's not saying life is over or that life was so much better back then. He's having a human moment of realizing the finality of something. That something he used to enjoy has now conclusively ended. There is a sadness, however small, in something enjoyed ending. There's a small pang of gloom, but ultimately the prevailing emotion is one of optimism. It's bittersweet.

A bunch of the fuckers on /vp/ felt the same thing when Ash was retired from the anime. Was the anime shit now? Yeah. Did any of them watch it at this point? Most didn't. But it still felt like the last nail on a coffin. The true end of an era that started way back in the 90's. Even though the anime was a dumb show, it still had an impact on them.

I did keep the subscription until it ended and did see this comic in the final issue.
I had those magazine in a bookshelf, hundreds of them. The binders made little pictures for some years when placed in the correct order. My brother and I used to reference them a lot back before the internet was useful or accessible. The tips and cheat codes and reviews of games were the best intel we could get at the time.

I had to get rid of them all a year and a half ago when cleaning out my parents house after they both died.
At least I didn't have to throw them out. Traded them in to some local store for a couple hundred dollars of in-store credit. Gave that away to a friend before I moved since that store doesn't have a branch where I am now.

It's not so much the comic that makes me sad, just the lack of anything joyful in my life now.

I hate shit like this because it depicts the suicidal person as an attention-whoring degenerate and her problems as not real. "Just be positive, bro," rhetoric. These types of people do exit, and they should be mocked because they'd never go through with it anyway. (As much as I hate The Boys, they did well in depicting this.) The majority of people who commit suicide are men who do it in private to escape real problems that can't be talked out of with kind words.

>>149017058
>that can't be talked out of with kind words
completely wrong, a lot of times their sorrows are overbeating because it's their own thoughts drowning them in more and more misery, and they're unable to think positively because they think that's not rational or practical at the moment and what they need are rational and practical thoughts, which are suicidal. somebody else talking to you in that most vulnerable moment does wonders, even if they're simple reassuring words that don't mean a lot, because what's important is their trance being broken. now if that somebody just happens to be the biggest friendliest superhero on the planet, personally making time to help you, the trance could be broken within moments. it's kinda like constant doomposting in a way, all you need is an external stimulus at the right time.

>>149017058
Iirc, suicide is usually decided and done within a 5 minute time frame. So if you can get someone through that 5 minute time frame, they're overwhelmingly less likely to do it. Of course you need to get to the root of what's causing these urges, but they have to be alive to do that to begin with.

is Hitman just supposed to be DC's bootleg Punisher or something?

>>149017284
Nah.
I mean, that might've been the original intention for the dumb Bloodlines crossover event where it started, but it didn't go that way.

>>149007580
This goes hard.

This hit me like a train the first time I read it. Nothing else in BPRD or Hellboy came close.

>>149018993
why is it that 90s Spidey comics (despite being notorious for shit like the Clone Saga) exude an otherworldly sense of quality that newer stuff lacks? was it because of the ability to progress and not be stuck in a miserable status quo?

>>149017789
Context for the big self delete park?

Homer's scream of rage in this scene is genuinely well acted

>>149020524
World is in the middle of an apocalypse and these were people trapped in a city that was basically ground zero that was so bad the BRPD couldn't even penetrate it for a while so they obviously killed themselves on their own terms rather than potentially be turned into monsters.

>>149017284
Do yourself a favor and give it a read.

>>148990506 (OP)
On a less depressing and more European note, District 14 had a few hype moments. I like the slaughterhouse fight in particular. For context, Tigerman has presented himself as a goodie two shoes masked vigilante but is actually quite morally corrupt. The main problem is he has been immune to almost all damage up to this point. Elephant is the protagonist of the story, so to see him get some solid blows against Tigerman was quite fulfilling.

There's a reason that video games are the most popular form of non-internet media to ever exist, and kids stopped reading comics and stopped watching cartoons. Because video games are an inherently superior medium. You just have flawed standards and are unable to judge quality.

>>149029893
>Because video games are an inherently superior medium.
Nope, it's because it's easier to enjoy them. I love vidya, but that's a really dumb take. Kids don't want to read, so why would they pick up a book or a comic? And cartoons have sucked for almost two decades, so you should also consider that. Fortnite and 95% of Roblox don't have the amount of quality you're talking about

>>149029220
I'm not being funny. It's just gay.

>>148990985

I have no idea what the fuck that comic was supposed to be. It is just a fairy tale about whimsical fairies to me yeah i guess the fairies are aspects of the dead girl or something i guess but it doesnt make any more sense

>>148990506 (OP)
>file deleted
did the packaged meat trigger someone?

>>149030516
It's a story about the loss of innocence.
The small beings are the dead girl's "imagination" spilling into the real world, and in turn also losing it's innocence through interacting with it.
I'm sure there's a few ways you can interpret the rest of the story.

I don't have the panel with me right now but the part where Spidey learns that Jean deWolff had feelings for him and never told him about it. Her death storyline is already tragic, but then you get that gut-punch after everything's over and it hurts.

>>148990909
You and I both.

Oof, that one was a rough read.

>>148990909

imagine looking at a poignant and accurate description of what grief looks like and immediately going "nuh uh theyre trying too hard" like a bunch of retarded hacks

>>149032679
Sorry, anon. But it's just not good.
Maybe you're 50 years old and the brain damage you received from growing old makes you think otherwise, but it just isn't.

>>149032911
why don't you explain why it isn't good then? because from my experience it's exactly like it sounds. even if it's somebody not that close to you or someone you don't see as often anyway, the fact that you will never see them for the rest of your life is what hurts. it's the thought that things will never go back to before again that eats you up, that even if one day you feel the urge to talk to the person again you can't anymore

>>149010355
What? There's no way I feel like I would've heard about that

>>148990686
I love that he ruins his own premise with his artistic autism. The last panel is meant to be mostly blank so there's space to make your own comic because apparently the point of C&H was to inspire creativity and not to needlessly bitch about the materialist trappings of a post-Carter American society where the hippies clearly lost (no matter how many tickets the Grateful Dead were selling) and to make an 8 year old say big words. But he had to add stupid little details so it would read as a snowy plain. I mean, the characters left a trail getting there and that is gone but he just couldn't leave out that little cleave under them or in the corner. Because the real message of the strip was a man standing in his own way.

Although the strip has value today because you see modern society as an extension of the 1980s but worse because the TV became the Internet and you have to have it on you at all times or perish. But I guess the issue is that Pearls Before Swine is no Calvin & Hobbes and there was never another strip like it again.

>>149033393
Sorry, but you can't teach a blind person what color looks like.
Good luck with the rest of your life though!

>you just wouldn't get it!
typical midwit response

Anon, I could spend hours of my time trying to tell you how and what, but I'd honestly rather do something else instead.

Did I ever claim I wasn't one? But if I'm the midwit, what would that make you?

>>149033639

I'm not making any sort of claims about my self-important opinions about funnybooks being so above someone they wouldn't be able to fathom them, that's just retarded.

Well, that makes two of us.

>>149033970
Fuck me, I really am sharing this place with literal twelve-year-olds.

>>149033639
I mean, so far youve claimed the writer's description of grief (which is very subjective, mind you), is "just not good" and claimed I had brain damage. I asked you to elaborate why you think so and explained my thoughts, but youve dodged them under the pretense of "ohhh it'll be too long to explain so i wont" and yet you keep responding to this second person with all the time in the world. why act all intelligent and insightful if you cant back it up?

>>149034049
>but youve dodged them under the pretense of "ohhh it'll be too long to explain so i wont"
No, I refused to waste my time on it because you wouldn't understand. Big difference.
>yet you keep responding to this second person with all the time in the world
Writing short replies while doing other things is done within a few seconds at most.
You're seriously comparing that with me having to waste an hour trying to explain to you why MLP isn't a good show even though you really, really like it?

>>149034078
what the fuck where did MLP come from, I'm literally only talking about these six panels >>148990693
I already accepted your concession but for some reason you keep continuing without saying anything at all, which is a bigger waste of time. so much for the holier-than-thou attitude.

>>149034114
>what the fuck where did MLP come from
It's an example of what we're talking about.
You (a brony) are a fan of MLP (the comic panel in question). Do you see how much effort it would take me to convince you that MLP isn't a good show?

>>149034213
is your plan just to use unrelated metaphors to sound smart and sidestep the conversation? running out of material so you insist explaining your words straightforward is a "lost cause" hence why talking in riddles is better? I don't even know what that comic is about or what it's from, but that description of grieving a loved one is pretty accurate from my life experience. if you think otherwise, either explain why or just stay quiet and concede. stop dragging this out if you have no intentions to add anything valuable to the conversation

>>149034382
Yeah, I'm not even going to bother reading this one.
The point is, you're retarded. There is no cure. Good luck!

nigga how retarded to you have to be to constantly avoid the question every single time and then call the other guy retarded

>>149034078
>No, I refused to waste my time on it because you wouldn't understand. Big difference.
My dude, you're wasting plenty of time in multiple posts saying you can't waste your time to explain, obviously you can waste time you just don't want to and are using some dumb "I'm so above it all" poor excuse as a cop out.

>>149034213
