Post your wife taking Jamarcus and Deyquan up the ass.

Why does the concept of hope trigger you?

he's asking for blacked content so it's probably just an alabama thing

>>149425042
superman wasn't in escape from new york, you're thinking of snake plisken.

>>149425077
Freedom for criminals means slavery for everyone else.

>>149425060
Americans.....

>>149425171
Snake Plisken only has one eye, you're thinking of Nick Fury in Winter Soldier

People always post the suicide teen but I always found this moment more moving

>>149424861 (OP)
Has anyone ever drawn this but he pushed her off?

Ennis should write a script for the next Superman movie

>>149425660
>giving up never helped anyone
Oh yeah Superman? What about Nazi Germany?

No.

>Lois doesn't wash her cooch

>>149425772
There have been a few Snyder based edits. Made by retards like you.

>>149425925
if he could do it then, then he could have done it earlier

>>149425782
It's weird how the otherwise edgy, cynical UK twats will somehow always turn around and make an uplifting, sincere Superman store. Ennis does it, Millar does it, Moore did it, Morrison is famous for it. Has Ellis ever did a Superman story?

>>149425937
It's just funny because of the way the panel is framed it's a natural visual joke

>>149425008
>Don't stop. my suicidal daughter!

>>149425937
The snyder edits are great, because they show what people hated about MoS.

>>149426032
>IS THAT *WEEZE* SUPERMAN ACTUALLY FIGHTING!?!
If you want to be hugged so much go watch Barney.

>>149425951
How do you know that?

>>149426382
women wearing stiletto boots is so sexy

>>149425572
this shouldn't be as funny as it is

Who is the essential Superman artist?

>>149426585
I always liked Mcguinnes

>>149425677
I need this Lois and Roberta from this comic in this art style engaging in lewd activities or at least be naked

>>149425981
Because you actually have to LIKE a genre, passionately, before you can critique or deconstruct it. Doesn't mean the shit they wrote is automatically good but they at least understand it to an extent.

>>149424861 (OP)
I encountered this page many times before I saw it in context and discovered that Regan here is a boy.

>>149426385
because

>>149425981
he wrote Superman in JLA Classified #10-15, had a couple of good moments

He also wrote an article in 1998:

>WHY THEY’LL NEVER LET ME WRITE SUPERMAN

>Brief, Disconnected Notes On An American Mythology—Warren Ellis

>I’m not a superhero fan. I had to learn the subgenre when I began writing for the States. I’ve had to learn to read them. Now, I can appreciate some of them. Not many, it has to be said…but some.

>The one I always wanted to like was Superman.

>Superman is a uniquely American icon, and the first true myth of the electronic age. One special facet to it is that it began as a myth told to children by children. Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster were youths when they created Superman, a far cry from today’s handful of twentysomethings and carloads of middle-aged men who give today’s children their superheroes.

>(Perhaps this is why, to me, a strong adult story told with Superman would seem curiously inappropriate – and, conversely, the 20th Century social nightmare given inky form that is The Batman seems to me strangely inappropriate as figure of children’s tales.)

>Superman, then, is the agent of modern fable – the most compelling fable the 20th Century gave us. Soap opera is unworthy of him, and, as has been proved many times, is not big enough to contain him and the central concepts of his story. At the heart of myth and legend is Romance. That is not the same as the weak, whiny demands of soap opera that begin with “characterization” and crap on with demands for ever more levels of “conflict”, “jeopardy”, “ensemble writing”, “tight continuity” and all the rest of that bollocks. These things are unimportant. Many of them just completely get in the way of the job at hand.

>SUPERMAN requires only the sweep and invention and vision that myth demands, and the artistry and directness and clean hands that Romance requires.

>>149426953
>SUPERMAN is about someone trying their best to save the world, one day at a time; and it’s about that person’s love for that one whose intellect and emotion and sheer bloody humanity completes him. It’s about Superman, and it’s about Lois and Clark. And that’s all there is. That’s the spine. That must be protected to the death, not lost in a cannonade succession of continuing stories.

>That’s what, in the continuing rush to top the last plotline, I see getting lost.

>I understand, accept and even to an extent agree with what’s going on; The SUPERMAN creators are trying to keep the books vital, keep them moving, keep those sales spikes coming. But they seem to me to be getting away from the sheer wonder of the Superman myth.

>(The single title that does seem to be hewing to the line I’ve just scratched in the sand is Mark Millar’s charming and energetic SUPERMAN ADVENTURES.)

>What SUPERMAN must avoid is genericism. It must live up to its billing. The comics must crackle with invention and mythic power. They must always resolutely be of Now, be utterly modern – if not utterly of Tomorrow. They must thrill and frighten and inspire and give us furiously to think.

>Crucially, they must not simply offer us a parade of costumes and odd single name/titles. There must be stories where something important is at stake. Something worth saving, be it the life of a human, the soul of a city, the fate of a world, or the future of a child.

>Mike Carlin always characterizes the ongoing thrust of the Superman titles as the “Never-Ending Battle”. Those battles must have stakes beyond those of smacking about this month’s new costume with an odd name.

>>149425799
You are... technically correct.

>>149426971
>Superman tackles natural disaster and human crime. It’s his belief that nothing else falls within his purview. War and the politics of famine, he feels, are part of human government, and so not his place. He will not interfere in the growth of the human race, as much as it sometimes breaks his heart.

>He merely, obliviously, shows the human race, by example, how to be great.

>>149426321
I love it when these two swap costumes.

every time I see this I think it's the edit where he pushes her

>>149425060
Why are white incels literally obsessed with black men?

>>149426585
Wayne Boring
Swan
Garcia Lopez
Ordway

>>149425060
Superman would do that

>>149427144
The estrogen fed slop hogs spamming these threads certainly would.

>>149427120
Porn addiction

>>149425001
Man, classic superman was so wacky and politically incorrectly by today standards, I cant really tell, which panel is edited, and which panes is the real deal.
And to be honest, that's hilariously funny.

>>149427125
>>149427136
I'm baffled how nowadays this place shits on Jim Lee and specially Alex Ross, the latter always takes my breath away when I look at his art.

>>149425042
Superman is destroying a wall so migrants can get in, bravo.

>>149424861 (OP)
That is the single most overrated page in all of comics history.

>>149426155
>posting a page from a stupid story to support the idea that Superman should be about fighting

Anime has ruined literally all online fandoms.

>>149427555
The whole comic was pretentious fanboy slop.
>>149427581
Superman by Jerry and Joe was a power fantasy, the focus was on Superman beating and humiliating criminals.

>>149427510
what's your point? Superman rejects that

damn, is every single green lantern just the absolute worst?

HATED the part in Man of Steel where Jor-El said that

>>149427420
4chan just loves to be contrarian retards. They hate everything that critics/the general public likes, but love godawful 90s/00s trash like MI2 or Shadow the Hedgehog just because it reminds them of their childhoods.

>>149429447
I like Lee I just think he gets stuck with shit writing. Superman For Tomorrow looked great but the story was all kinds of pretensions dreck.

>>149425360
>decades of being under a brutal regime that will torture and kill hundreds of thousands to millions is worse than a short period of strife which killed 10,000 or so

>>149426282
Terrible, honestly.
Alex Ross is great, but you can tell his composition here is being dictated by his models/ reference.
The flexing pose was turned into Superman grabbing the lightsabre; Vader standing rigidly, looking past Supes as though he were a figure in a waxworks.
As an aside, I'd be pissed if I was as talented as Ross and I was being put to work illustrating Superman vs Darth Vader schlock: may as well do Goku vs Superman next. Although he works for comics in the first place, so maybe his shame died long ago.

>>149424861 (OP)
Superman would never expend effort on some smelly little lesbian while people are suffering. Just throw the mewling little shit at some swaggering welfare queen. Everybody’s happy.

>>149428793
Solar systems don't get much more distant than those found in another universe.

>>149429559
>>149429566
Having Superman as your uncle would be the coolest shit ever.

>>149424861 (OP)
Still to this day I don’t get why this scene is so big and popular. Superman does this a lot in other runs. He literally does something like this in jurgens run like twice

>>149431239
Cause /co/ lusts for goth teens. That's the only reason.
