Wow things must be worse than I thought

>>149556208 (OP)
That's not Batman: Dark Patterns

>>149556208 (OP)
>loser villain gets to act cool as a hero
Love to see it.

Best of the Big 2? Its in the running but idk

Top 5 mainline Marvel:
Moon Knight
Hulk
Thor
F4 (but its marred by OWUD)
fifth spot is uh I guess McKay's X-Men

Top 5 mainline DC:
Aquaman
Supergirl
Green Lantern
New Gods
Batman: Dark Patterns (if that doesn't count bc reasons, then Green Arrow or JSA)

8 Ball's journey from a gag character that Moon Knight occasionally terrorized to being the most based member of his gang is great. It's a shame that he'll go back to being nothing once MacKay is no longer on this book, much like Batroc during Hastings Gwenpool

I love Marc and Tigra's relationship

>>149556208 (OP)
No. It's Aquaman

>>149556679
I'm one of only 3 people at my local shop subscribed to this. But yes Moon Knight is a top book

>>149556658
>part of marc finally getting his shit together and living as a functional human being is a hot catgirl girlfriend who's also blessed by a crazy animal god and enjoys brawling as much as he does
best girl for sure

elaborating on this. if I were to list the mainline books (no Ultimate - Absolute - Elseworlds - intercompany crossovers) from both companies that range from Good - Decent - Entertaining - Not bad, I'd go:

>Marvel
1 Moon Knight
2 Hulk
3 Thor
4 F4 (hurt by OWUD)
5 X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, Wolverine (X-line is in dire straights)
6 Eddie Brock Carnage
7 Venom
8 Ben Percy's DP/Wolverine and Hellverine (both canceled)
9 West Coast Avengers for Bluebolt (canceled)

>DC
1 Aquaman
2 Green Lantern
3 Supergirl
4 Waid's Action Comics
5 Krypto
6 JSA
7 New Gods
8 Green Arrow
9 Dark Patterns
10 PKJ's Batman and Robin
11 JLU (does Worlds Finest count as mainline?)
12 Birds of Prey
13 Poison Ivy
14 Honorable mentions: recently wrapped Metamorpho, The Question and Challengers of the Unknown mini series

DC clearly takes it

>>149556208 (OP)
When does it get good? I read the first TPB and there's nothing really good about it so far.

>>149556869
What's OWUD?

>>149556869
Come on, guy.

One World Under Doom

on amazon the first trade I can see is just issues #1-6, I'd say the Moon Knight 2021 run (the current titles is Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu but it's the same continuous plot and still all by Mackay. just relaunched after the 2021 series hit like 30 issues) really starts getting good once the House of Shadows becomes the Midnight Mission (which is like #9) and the best arcs are Zodiac, the Vampire pyramid scheme with Tutor, and the finale.

it's notable for being one of the only big 2 books to have a consistent author for 4+ years at this point allowing actual character development and story arcs to play out without constant resets to the status quo or editorial meddling stopping any progress.

I just got into comics recently after being a mangahead for years.
Rec some good shit bros.

>>149557204
Alright. I'll give it another two trades. Thanks.

>>149557204
god I love this looney-tunes motherfucker so much.

>>149557487
>Magen David
So that's the actual Hebrew, I presume?

>>149557604
yeah that's what a star of david is in hebrew, Magen means shield so it's basically david's shield/the shield of david

>>149557630
I learned something today. Thanks, anon

>>149557201
what about it?

>>149557487
Pretty sure that's not how it works........

>>149557735
mackay's using World of Darkness logic, True Faith in anything is enough to repel bloodsuckers if you're a genuine zealot

>>149557735
It's a pretty obvious rules patch in a universe where crosses work on vampires but canonically Abrahamic God is a guy with issues who had nothing to do with Christianity, Judaism, or Islam.

>I'm gonna fuck that cat so much when this is done

>>149558208
I know lucifer and shit are real in DC thanks to stuff like hellraiser and Spectre being literal old testament god's vengeance but does marvel have actual biblical angels and god running around? I thought they had "one above all" as their generic macguffin stand in, even Mephisto has a family friendly name change rather than being literally Satan or The Devil and Hell/Limbo is connected to mutant shit like nightcrawler and magik. in marvel the 4 horsemen are actually apocalypse's ancient mutant henchmen

>>149558350
Marvel has biblical God. He was one of the architects of the universe who argued for sapient life, and created Death as a compromise/appeasement to the others on the project as a limitation on life because they were scared of their potential.

But other than that he's an old man with some mental and family issues, phenomenal cosmic power he doesn't use much, and so on. Guy's had to be saved by Ghost Rider and Howard the Duck on separate occasions from attempts at creating a superior, more active and invested God who kind of...well usually the result is an insane megalomaniac.

The only religion he ever helped start was Zoroastrianism as a joke he played on somebody else, and he IS canonically Papa Legba though, probably as a way to help out his "daughter" in her duties, though it's not elaborated on so I'm guessing there.

Angels exist too yeah. They're the ones doing most of the work running Abrahamic Heaven but they don't really....show up or get involved too often. Also had to be bailed out by Ghost Rider at one point.

"The Devil" *probably* actually exists, but a lot of people try to pretend to be "The" Satan. There is canonically a Throne existing where all the Hell realms overlap belonging to him a few of them have tried to claim over the years but none have managed it. He's only *maybe* appeared like, all of once ever and that might have been a hallucination or someone else pretending to be him.

>>149556869
Almost all of these are shit. I know this without having read any of them.

>>149558447
No, the Devil is real too. Hes only appeared in the Immortal Hulk run so far where its revealed he's the One Above All's Hulk, effectively. Everything bad about God/divinity in general comes from Him

>>149556869
>7 Venom
fuck off

>>149556641
>Hulk
My nigga, it's criminally underrated. It might not be Immortal but it's definitely not Cate's dogshit

>>149559279
One Below All =/= The Devil in the same way that God in the Biblical sense isn't the One Above All in Marvel, separate but similar entities.

>>149556208 (OP)
That's really sad because MK is shit.
