Looking back did Liefeld's run on the Crimson Chin deserve the cancelation?

>>149399507 (OP)
It was a bold and interesting adaptation of the classic character. Admittedly, his translations of some of The Chin's villains were gratuitous, and we all know who his favorite was, but the core was strong and deserved to at least wrap up it's big cliff hanger. Or at least not get replaced with what came after.

>>149399507 (OP)
Yes but I wish they could've at least properly finished the story.

>>149399507 (OP)
After he tried to screw Marmelman's mom out of residuals? Absolutely.

>>149399507 (OP)
It was a bit much. Though I will admit I love the idea of a chin pocket, really seems like great utility CC was missing up until that point.

>>149399507 (OP)
Even when parodied, the 90s Extreme superhero aesthetic is just inherently cool, and appealing to the teenage boys who used to be the core audience for cape comics, and it's time we stopped pretending it's not.

>>149399507 (OP)
was decapitating his foes with his chin really necessary?

>>149400383
No,but it was hilarious and cool

>>149400113
>Have Crimson Chin kill off half the body of evil in the first issue.
>Replace them with shitters like The Khromium Knee or The Ventinihilator.
Don't get me started the Krimzon Kill...

>>149400383
What? You didn't like the Crimson Upperchin? It was at least better than the time they went in reverse and he would crush them with his chin.

>Bronze Kneecap beating the shit out of Nega-chin
All is forgiven when ever I think about that issue

>gave the Titanium Toenail a tragic but understandable backstory
>years later Be dis ruins the character by making him a gay lover of Bull-E
I hate this gay EARTH

>>149400318
This much I can agree with.

>>149400383
That was the Nega Chin in disguise. Though to be fair no one read the Author's afterward and the comic getting cancelled before the reveal didn't help at all.

I did like Cat-Man's look in the 90's. Its not popular only because they decided to make him a full-on werecat and people these days think that was meant to appeal to the furry community. I just think he looks cool.

>>149399507 (OP)
Did Bronze Kneecap really need to rape that girl? I mean I’m not one of those people that gets their panties in a knot over it but it just felt out of character. Like he was a fucking Jai Lai player that mostly did petty thefts or basic ransom shit. Rape is way out of his purview. Not to mention making Charle Indigo a heroin addict was retarded. And I could have sworn that cleft made a later appearance yet he showed up in issue #25

>>149399507 (OP)
I've seen strippers wearing more clothes than some of the women in that comic and it was supposed to be for kids.

>>149399507 (OP)
It 1000000% deserved the cancellation. I mean, a goddamn CHIN CREDIT CARD?!

>>149399507 (OP)
What did you guys think of Grant Morrison's run? I liked it but it's a bit overhyped

>>149400296
It's funny, as much as that used to get memed on in forums back in the day, it really only came up three or so times.

>>149403693
It is, but for good reason. It's pretty much a protoype of Morrison's later work, but also a perfect distillation of him at his best. The Choose Your Own Adventure issue alone is worth the accolades. And the finale only gets better with age. It's like the complete antithesis to the end of his Batman run.

>letting catman win the match up
>using the cat-armor he wore only once ever in a spin-off
the only good thing to come out of the crossover was a pretty sick publicity event in dimmsdale where they showed off a life-size prop of it that actually moved

>>149403648
he really didnt, but people were starting to flock to the nega-chin and bronze kneecap just didnt feel threatening any more
so they needed to make him feel more threatening

>>149404706
Maybe they should've just made him less of a fucking jobber instead.

>>149405007
Come now anon that would make sense

>>149403693
the part where grant morrison has the crimson chin meet and then have a conversation with his original creator was straight out of animal man

So what the fuck was the fetal position issue, how did people react at the time?

I preferred his run of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy.

I don't like how Garth Ennis made a thinly-veiled Crimson Chin parody character in his comic and had him fuck propstitutes to death with his chin, felt needlessly spiteful. Also the reveal his chin is a tumor AND an erogenous zone was a bit much.

The amount of comic book jokes and shout outs in Hartman works is pretty impressive to say the least

All the edgy stuff that came out later really pales in comparison to the Denny O'Neal where he had the chin combat issues like police brutality, the oil crash, and drug addiction.

>>149405467
I really liked that bit. I also loved how the original creator was wheelchair-bound. It was a subtle nod to the ending of Crisis of Infinite Chins when Nega-Chin beats the shit out of him

>>149405845
>beating up heroin peddlers while rocking that hairdo
the bronze age was surreal

>>149399507 (OP)
Yes, having guns is not a super power.

>>149405508
I remember Wizard and other comics mags trying to shill it as being "avant garde" and experimental but pretty much everyone hated it. I think Mackie is still getting death threats for it to this day

>>149405508
Rob Queen's run on Crimson Chin just really sucked.
The whole thing just consisted of Chin just sobbing and feeling bad for himself over the crimes against humanity he committed in the Middle East.
Not even sure where that plot point even came from. It just feels like Queen didn't give a shit about Crimson Chin lore beyond the surface level wiki page read.

>>149399507 (OP)
yes, many women felt uncomfortable in his presence.

>>149406320
You should see his silver age stuff. The summer of love arc was crazy.

>>149405788
Did you forget that they gave Garth Ennis his own Chin book? Crimson Chin MAX was legendarily edgy. Remember when the Nega-Chin raped Cleft? I wish I didn't.

>retcons Nega Chin to be the one that kill's Chin's parents
That's where I stopped, that whole fucking arc where Chin nearly beats Nega Chin to death, only to have Cleft convince him not to kill him was so retarded.

Bump.

>>149407632
They were weak

>>149409653
>if you ka-chin a killer, the number of killers in the world stays the same!
Such uninspired hack writing. Giving the Chin a no-kill policy was such a stupid move.

>>149408306
>we will never see the golden arches used again
Feels bad

>>149405856
>It was a subtle nod to the ending of Crisis of Infinite Chins when Nega-Chin beats the shit out of him
grant morrison treats him a lot better too
he was depicted as a fat loser in his first appearance
