These should be a thing. The problem is most of /co/ refuses to read, and some of those that do have a stick up their asses about how they engage comic threads. For example: >>149142589 >>149148032
>>149160678 Those are redditors who think they're "hardcore" for posting on "the infamous 4chan" and think they have to act superior to literally everything to fit in.

>>149158771 the fuck is that hand motion? saying goodbye like a child? doing the cat claw thing? wiggling her fingers at them?
>>149163259 >>149164113 The comic is more of a thought experiment rather than a proper story. It's about a world where the super powered people are SO superpowered that they are basically living gods and think in completely different ways from humans at this point. Walking cataclysms.
>>149163259 It's extremely short and essentially about how humans become so technologically advanced instead of building nukes they work on making Gods, since humanity has done that since the dawn of their existence. So it's about a hypothetical situation where there is an arms race in creating 'transhumans'

Third series focused too much on Luther's bitch and she was the worst part of the entire series. Overall it was OK, but still a step down compared to everything that came before it.

I cannot believe that Transmetropolitan is actually as good as it is, but even then, Spider is just a a leftoid whinge session away from make it just as insufferable as the others.
>>149190110 Yeah, Ellis made some decent comics. I'd take him over Bendis, King, Taylor, Slott, Wells, Fraction, Spencer, Tynion, Millar, Waid, Ewing, Camp, and any female western comic writer any day.
>>149190802 That's literally Spanish and the other guy just couldn't tell and somehow pointing that out is "Reddit" You guys are fucking bug-men who only use rage bait for you cannot provide anything to this website

>>149189903 He's definitely got more shitty comics under his belt than good but I still like stuff like Planetary and Fell.
Amazing how these profound british comic authors can only ever write scenes of mass destruction and dead bodies in a city while some self-important wanker gives a low IQ take on it. That's the most transformative future they can imagine
>>149193708 Anon >>149193417 is tired of the common tropes and idk what word to usw "characteristics" of British writers, particularly British comic writwrs who often create worlds (often grim dystopic worlds) where mass destruction and death occurs while narrating a cynical and bitter philosophical statement. This is of course because most of the well known writers were young Thatcher era rebel types and stuff.
>>149193090 >read first couple of issues >decide to buy the omnibuses >they've just gone out of print, with only the first one being available >wait >hear news of them finally doing a reprint >it's just for the first omnibus ??? >wait >now they're doing some huge library edition instead, which is more expensive and uncomfortable to read I swear this is my troubles with the Hellboy BPRD omnibuses all over again. I've been hoping against hope to find someone selling them all this time, but no such luck. Why won't they take my money?
>>149163259 I actually like it as a capstone, because the comic is on the cusp of some kind of blue gay garden eden-ia with his the-page-before-hand cyborg lover, and the purple guy comes in, calls everything but what's about to happen cringe, and dooms the entire planet to get eaten by mushrooms. A fitting end to the comic.

>>149197866 Same thing with TCGs like Pokemon, just a bunch of chuckles fucks buying as many packs as they can, not for the love of the game, but just to sell. Sucks when you have to tell kids we got no packs in stock because of it.

>>149204478 The one half-decent book I've read from Avatar was Extinction Parade, which is all about how a bunch of vampires bumblefuck their way through the zombie apocalypse and into starvation.
>>149212442 The only benevolent-ish super beings starts off their mission of saving the world by killing a hundred million some-odd pajeets. Oh yeah, let's add THAT to the list of Warren Ellis's shithead opinions: He's a malthusian misanthrope that thinks you solve a resource and living space crisis with mass murder.
Awful. People tend to post one of the following in these threads: >the same reposts in every thread >widely-hated or outright bad pages >single panels and partial pages >manga pages >double-splashes >cool pages from something recently read If all but the last two were eliminated, then we'd have something.
>>149208252 >>149208574 From Plastic i believe, about a serial killer super spy who loved a sex doll. This is the rape scene with the feminist college girl side character
>>149211593 Wasn't that a webcomic? The vampires end up having to protect a group of humans from the zombies to secure their own blood supply, in the hopes of finding more humans somewhere else?

>>149220263 I don't think it was meant to be a plot point, just that they all thought he was some off the grid crazy wetworker and he was just some random serial killer.

>>149222993 This specific art, with this specific monster design just looks like it would from a 70s or 80s superman or justice league comic. Dc had a certain style at that time, it's hard to explain. I have no idea who the artist is, but it wouldn't be surprising to if they worked for both.
