Thread 150422305

ITT post and discuss /co/ media that is /x/ tier. Has anyone here read The Department of Truth?

>>150422305 (OP)
No

>>150422305 (OP)
No, sell it to me.

>>150422305 (OP)
Inside Job is /x/ tier except it is not spooky.

>>150422305 (OP)
Does Hellboy count as /x/?

>>150422980
The Department of Truth is about a government agency that cover up conspiracies or anything paranormal. Think of it like the Men in Black series but broader.

>>150423094
So basically OG MIB?

>>150423512
Yes

>>150422305 (OP)
This comic is great. I loved the storyline with the tulpa bigfoots.

DC's version of the BPRD, actually more like the BPRD than even SHADE

Always down for some conspiracy stuff. Thanks for the post.

>>150425553
Sam the Sandown Clown is a relatively obscure include. Gonna give this a shot too.

>>150424485
Is this more mystical or military focused?

>>150422305 (OP)
Afterworld definitely has /x/ vibes.

Look into Grant Morrison the guy is a literal fucking wizard

It looked cool until the woke fag couple showed up

Great cover.

Would Promethia count?

Does this count?

>>150426088
god you are such a pussy snowflake, aint ya

>>150427107
I don't know but this sure does. Alternated between ghost stories and other stuff. Most of the ghost stories were probably made up and the stuff that wasn't they took liberties with.

>>150427107
yes

Man this is some good shit. Thanks for pointing me towards this OP

What comic?

There are comics about the SCP Foundation, but I am not sure if they have been scanned or ripped online in high quality.

What in the OP, The Department of Truth

>>150428352
I've always wondered about these. There are Manga Doujins of SCP stories as well that I've been curious about.

>>150422305 (OP)
Not media, but his entire existence is /x/

>>150422305 (OP)
I am surpised nobody has posted Gravity Falls yet.

>>150422305 (OP)
>Has anyone here read The Department of Truth?
I have. The art is great.

>>150423016
I don’t see why it wouldn’t count

>>150428665
Invader Zim is overall /x/ for its atmosphere and aliens.

>>150428749
Alex Hirsch is a fag

>>150425753
>Is this more mystical or military focused
I'd say military focused, they were made to fight aliens and non-supernatural stuff mostly but they have the facilities, staff and equipment to deal with ghosts and demons.

The miniseries ends with them invading a section of hell, deposing it's leader and occupying it

>>150428007

>>150428869
I'm kind of happy and kind of sad we never got more Global Frequency. It's a series that is perfectly suited to Ellis's strength as a writer; every issue there is a single, strong sci-fi idea. The characters are pretty secondary, it's essentially a series of one shots with a dope or weird idea. I feel like we need more shit like this.

On the other hand, Ellis has some advanced form of ADD that makes him ruin anything he writes for too long, so it's probably good we only got the twelve issues.

>>150422305 (OP)
out of curiosity - why people prefer to post /x/ stuff on /co/ instead of /x/? it's not only this thread, it seems to be common. I'm not complaining, I jsut don't get it

>>150437373
It's mainly a chocolate and peanut butter situation but I think more /co/ anons know /x/ stuff than /x/ anons know /co/.

>>150437432
I just glanced over /x/ and I think I start to understand... it's mostly christcuckery and boring threads. I guess that had OP posted it there, it would get 0 replies. And to think that /x/ was my favorite board 10 years ago.

>>150437373
/x/ is basically dead and full of unironic schizos now
Like the idea of the nobody has become totally inverted

>>150437516
schizos are one thing. christcucks are a special breed

>>150437547
They're jut schizos with cross accessories

>>150437373
Interesting threads die out too quick or get derailed by a schizo. It is also not a good place to talk about comics.

>>150422305 (OP)
my series, ∆S, if all goes according to plan

>>150437771
What is it about?

>>150438151
team of specialists composed of aliens and hybrids go around the Pacific Northwest (along with larger US area and some other parts of the world) to both clean up after an Alien-Human research initiative fuckup and clear out ancient alien blacksites left behind after a war
the newest member on the team (whose also a hybrid) is secretly being trained up to take the reigns of the aliens (now balkanized) empire after another hybrid fucked it up badly
its a fanwork. im using the world and adding my own story

I have never known about this series until now. It looks like it will be entertaining.

>>150422305 (OP)
Cool logo.

>>150438607
A fanwork of what?

>>150441463
if it's not clear by the picture, there's going to be a vibe shift. going to bring back the more fantastical aspects of it too, along with the sci

>>150422305 (OP)
Loved it at first but it really started to peter out and be more anthology than the driving plot from before, dropped it around the (pretty good) bigfoot issue.

>>150442188
Why bother with a fanwork? Just steal the premise. Sugar fucked it up so bad that a decent execution would make the plagiarism unrecognizable.

>>150442231
technically speaking, I already am. like the setup is around the same just with some factors shuffled around.
even then I'm going to balance out the character work with a lot of locations and make the world seem alive?
i've decided to just throw in stuff i find cool, then work backwards to make it work via the world's own rules.
fantastical, science-fiction, occult. i've picked out several inspirations for this work and i'll give Department of Truth a read over too since it looks like quality.

>>150435874
Cool

>>150427028
Promethea. Yeah.

>>150435874
>a million different cases
>failed to actually get evidence and get the truth out
Are they failures? They saved the world from black goo but they still seem mostly incompetent to me.

>>150437480
There's been a few /x/ media threads that have gotten replies but but they don't usually last too long.

>>150438788
It's on Tubi among others.

...And just remembered Martin Mystery. Also the comic it's based on, Martin Mystere.

>>150435133
It was pretty neat.

This series is literally a magickal ritual, a hypersigil whatever the fuck that means

>>150446400
Same company. They even had crossovers.

>>150432637
>we only got the twelve issues.
What happened? I don't want to start reading a series if it's unfinished.

>>150448633
Nothing happened. It was meant to be a short run with self-contained stories in each issue.

>>150422305 (OP)
>Has anyone here read The Department of Truth?
It's mostly great but the recent 4chan arc was super cringe.

>>150448731
That's just /x/.

>>150423094
Interesting. And it's got Lee Harvey Oswald of all people as part of its group? I dig the art of the OP picture is anything to go by. Will check it out.

>>150449146
Lee Harvey Oswald leads the department but the protagonist is named Cole.

>>150448731
Eh, they get points for actually using "faggot".

>>150448816
What is this?

>>150448731
These issues felt like a smaller-scale, less edgy version of W0rldtr33. Which is kind of annoying to me, since that's also written by Tynion so it's like he's just rehashing his own ideas. I get that with the themes of media control which are so central to DoT it would be inevitable that they'd have to deal with the internet at some point, but it still felt like a rehash of the same theme without adding anything meaningful to either the "viral meme has real-world consequences" concept or the overarching story of DoT. In the end it's just a character backstory flashback so it's not a big deal, but it's still my least favorite part of the comic so far.

>>150422305 (OP)
I'm disappointed there are no Delta Green comics.

>>150449696
Dylan Dog. It's an Italian comic about an eccentric private investigator who gets involved with /x/-adjacent mysteries all the time. Not all of it has been translated into English as far as I know, but it's definitely worth reading.

>>150449755
Has a low-budget movie adaptation too.

>>150422305 (OP)
I haven’t read that one in particular, but I do love conspiracy stories. MIB was a solid set of reads.

>>150422305 (OP)
Monster House is a Halloween classic.
>>150435133
I'm surprised people did not feature the trio from Monster House in this. They fit the vibe.

>>150449739
I'm disappointed there's no Delta Green HBO or Netflix series, in the right hands it would be incredible.

>>150451103
I agree it can be good if done by someone competent.

Does cryptids and stuff count?

>>150452454
Absolutely

I was plotting out a series about a cryptid called the Goatman (it's a Maryland thing) which gets shanghaied into working for the FBI as they hunt down and destroy other monsters.

I gave up on it because I realized that even if I managed to write an amazing script, I couldn't possibly afford to pay an artist to see it through.

>>150449755
I didn't like it at all.

>>150423822
Man these old covers were great.

>>150452550
interesting

Obligatory

>>150455995
And this. There is more in this collection but they cover a lot of things like criminals and the wild west, those two are the best about this thread.

>>150422305 (OP)
I read it after seeing the thread, and I'm conflicted. I've never liked anything Tynion has written previously, but the series feels like it really wants to be a 20 episode mid 90s spooky mystery series by splitting half of its issues on one off events and trying to slap in a "myth arc" that hasn't meaningfully advanced since ||Hawk tried to get Cole to defect||. The way the conspiracies are presented in the case files and later issues feels like the writer is dismissing anyone dumb enough to believe them (in a reversal of the typical conspiracy nut knowing the "real story") and the 4chan arc was adorable in how out of touch it is. But thanks OP, it was an okay brain off popcorn read, but I don't think I'll keep up with it.

>>150422305 (OP)
Someone tried to make an animated pilot called Roswell. They tried to get funding through Indiegogo but failed to reach their goal multiple times.

The main SIKTC book is consistently good IMO. It's all the spinoff titles that are mid to outright bad.

>Dude, it's like conspiracies rule everything around us

Nixon hate is absurd at this point with all we know.

>>150462038
Bro do you even read before getting triggered or is being a screeching tranny your default mode? They literally explain in the comic that they made a conspiracy to get rid of Nixon because he was too smart for them and threathening to take away control of their shadow government bullshit.

>>150455703
Thanks!

>>150460112
Goatman stories vary in description from a huge man in a mask to a sort of genetic mutant to a demonic entity and I went with a merger of the former and latter, entwined with local NA legends and the story of regional witchcraft.

>>150450048
Don't watch that movie, go watch Dellamore Dellamorte from 1994 instead.

>>150461694
I've seen a LOT of REEE reactions about SiKtC in the past year(+), barely even mentioning it is enough to send schizos into a rage?
I didn't even find the sidestories particularly bad. But a major blunder in the main series, just as you got to know more about the setting and the houses, was removing Erica from them entirely, gradually neutering and essentially removing her from the story. What the fuck they were thinking with this, especially when you've got such a cool and likeable protagonist as the series had, is anyone's idea. They seemed to have realized this themselves, since the series pretty much instantly turned into a 'prequel' fare about Erica growing up in house Slaughter. A shame really, the thread made me re-read the first arc and it's fucking S+++ tier.
>>150461871
Splendid series, kino art and great cast. It's also a strange comic in that the main part of it feels like an all-ages thing, what with the goofy characters and monster action but every now and then it turns truly serious and grimdark, like something out of a von Trier or Gaspar Noé flick.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vmn9asN-8AE

>>150463472
From what I've seen most of the REEing about SIKTC is about the black gay dude who is barely relevant in the main title and dies halfway through, and his black gay boyfriend who doesn't even exist in the main title.

>>150422305 (OP)
Thank you for bringing DoT to my attention. I'm reading through it now and absolutely loving it. I'm someone with a literally autistic fascination with mythology, mythopoeia, religious syncretism, and related subjects, and so this is right up my alley. The page where we learn about the Unified Conspiracy Timeline is a favorite; it's absolutely phenomenal, and I'm also a huge fan of what they're doing with Crowley and the Scarlet Woman so far.

Thanks again.

Finished the illuminatus trilogy and it was a fun time. Very campy and hit all the notes I look for in conspiracy.

>>150427122
There are options besides fag or boomer

>>150463913
It is the Ur-Example of Conspiracy fiction, inspiring Dan Brown & Umberto Eco, so naturally it'd hit all the marks.
It also inspired The KLF, which I didn't even realize was the case until after I finished readings. I thought Kick Out the JAMs was a reference to them, but it actually refers to an even older song.

>>150461453
spooky

>>150461630
thank you anon
That seems to be the general consensus. right now i'm still workshopping many of the world's aspects and the people in it, but im hopeful i'll get to posting things from it soon

Confinement was mid. Get over it.

>>150463913
The follow ups, Schrodinger's Cat and the Historical Illuminati books are also good.

Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle also hits similarly.

>>150466311

The Sword Interval was an old great webcomic. Demon's Mirror was also fantastic and could probably be described as what OP is asking for.

Should've been the second series mentioned.

Along with Promethea.

Hickman's S.H.I.E.L.D. also still fits, even if it's more /his/ than /x/ schizo.

>>150447687
A number of Vertigo series seem to fit - Hellblazer and Shade being the most obvious ones.

>>150468613
Shade the Changing Man was less /x/ and more psychosexual drama really

He wrote 12 strong issues and that's it. Planetary is also short, just 27 issues and a few specials, like the other anon said Ellis works better with smaller series.

He seems like an interesting guy for sure but I need to take a break for my own safety. Very fun ideology to synthesize, I appreciate some real and honest anarchism in action instead of the larping masses. Not to be taken seriously but definitely should be considered.
