Seeing how there’s multiple /co/ related threads on the board. I think we should just put all of them into one general just for clarity’s sake.

Discuss anything related to comics and animations from comic recs, leftist animations to comic writers’ attempts to larp as leftists.

Seriously is there a worse anarchist in the UK than Alan Moore?

I mean there right

I kinda wish Crossed would get another entry. It's kinda one note but sometimes I just want to read some terrible fucked up shit. Alan Moore's entry in it wasn't bad though.

I love this mind-numbingly retarded move to stop piracy, lol.

surprised it was so good when every other disney+marvel thing has sucked ass so badly

>>43439
they're really convinced that it's piracy killing them and not that nobody wants to read that shit ey?

insert that greentext pics of some nerd store going out of business and all the warhammer/manga/etc gone and all the western comics left

>>43440
It kinda gives me hope for a renewed Gargoyles. The original is still a lot of fun, and it would be good to get a proper continuation before the original cast all fucking die.

>>43439
ok but how would this stop pirates?
this will only hurt people who buy the comics because the pirates who do the scans are just going to add the last page in
what the fuck

>>43444
Apparently it's not to stop piracy but people leaking stuff before release date. Or realistically it's just to collect people's data to sell

The Bojack Horseman episode with the really really long bridge is many times longer than the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, but it's still huge.

>>43447
I found out the new meme MCU movie is about like the Fox era of them I guess and so much of the news branding is like "that's right– we make fun of KEVIN FEIGE" and I was like ok well do you also acknowledge the Bryan Singer thing or how Halle Berry got fucked over or….

>>43447
>pic
Wow that looks godawful, is that really from the movie?

>>43469
What happened with Halle Berry?

>>43479
I think they're referring to the disaster of a Catwoman movie.

/co/ is so fucking whiny about Helluva Boss being also about interpersonal drama instead of just murder shenanigans which would be understandable if they didn't always make it like a show isn't allowed to go beyond its initial premise, a retarded opinion they always feel the need to say. I guess that's the idiotic mindset you get when you only watch children media.

>t. Moorefag. I am seen. You total binch.

Anyone got Brandon Graham's Moonray or know where to get it? It's not on libgen, anna's or torrents. Rain Like Hammers was good.

SOLD
It's pretty good so far anons and it's on libgen

The classic x men comic where the CIA tries to kill Magneto for killing too many anti communist nazis they allied with is so based lol, I know x men is a lib comic(sadly) but Claremont was real for that


Are there any good places to read comics online

>>41957
It depends on the show imo. There's room for more writer-driven animation. The Simpsons, for example, places the writing first and foremost, but at the same time, it has more than enough gags that are impossible to do in any medium but animation, justifying its existence as a cartoon.

>>41909
Some thoughts, after watching the first ten minutes of it:

-It's incredibly ironic that this is a reboot of a creator-driven show with almost none of the original creators brought on.

-It looks consistently inconsistent. You have great drawings mixed with awful drawings mixed with astonishingly mediocre ones. It results in a very strange look, and I can't really compare it to anything. All I can say is that it's overall not great.

-The colors are also kind of muddy, and there doesn't seem to be much thought to their selection. Reminds me a lot of the later seasons of The Powerpuff Girls, if I can compare it to anything. I've seen much worse, but I've also seen much better.

-I will, however, give praise to the storyboarding. The compositions can be maybe a bit too centered, buy overally they're nice and clear, and generally appropriate for the shots they're being applied to. The cutting, for the most part, is also pretty solid, and gives a nice sense of continuity.

-The backgrounds are also pretty good. They do a nice job of framing the characters, and provide context for their actions without ever getting in the way. I get the impression they were drawn by fans of the original show.

-The animation itself (the way it moves) isn't anything amazing, and it can be a bit to fast, but it's probably the best use of hybrid flash/traditional I've seen in a while. R&S's HB-influenced limited animation lends itself well to that kind of thing.

-Getting back to the negatives, the writing is mediocre-to-bad. There's good individual gags (I like the dumbass welcome to hell sign), but it just doesn't click together as a whole. I know John K. would say that Ren and Stimpy was never a writer-driven show, but the writing was indeed a very important part of why the original worked. Spumco had a very top-down, holistic approach to constructing a cartoon, starting with the very broad broad-strokes and then working its way down to the hyperspecifics of storyboards. It leant the show a very cinamatic feel, even without the high-quality final layouts. The reboot, by comparison, feels like a complete mess in terms of structure. Things move at a very flat pace; important moments that should get a good amount of time breeze by, and gags that should last a few seconds are held on way past the point where they're actually funny. The plot itself takes way too long to kick in, and is TV-y in a way that the original show did its best to rebel against.

I can't say for sure, but the culprit seems to be scripts. I'm not going to say that script driven cartoons don't have their place, because there's plenty of great script-driven shows. But in my experience as an indie animator, it's a lot harder to control the pacing of an individual scene in a script than it is a storyboard. Scripts are very this-then-that; you say the literal events that happen and the sequence they happen in, but you have very little upfront control of when they happen beyond the cadence of the dialog. It's a much more segmented way of making a cartoon, and it really doesn't work for a show like R&S.

-The voice acting is very bad. It sounds like a fucking video game tiein, where nobody knows or cares what they're saying and is just there to collect a paycheck.

Overall, it's not good, but it's a lot better than I was expecting it to be; about on par with the later games-era episodes. I find it more tolerable to watch than APC, but it's also a lot less interesting.

Allen Moore wrote that comics were once a artform for the people because they where readably available and cheap, now they're so expensive the only people who care are the ones who grew up with them and are now mad that they're no longer made for them. A artform for the working people would need to be affordable for them. Comics are not dead but the audience has become bourgeois while the young working people finds the new artform with more artistic freedom then the last.

I can't pretend that I'd prefer the pre 90s comics with their cheap paper and shoddy printing but it's impossible to deny that the individual comics themselves are ridiculously expensive and not very compelling on their own.

The last time I was seriously interested in marvel comics was back in the 10s when Thor got rebooted and plopped Asgard right down in podunk Oklahoma. That's the kinda thing I want to read about, ancient norse gods having to interact with a bunch of Oakey yokels and the effect this has on them both and the wider world.

But the interesting stuff never lasts. The manchildren just want to see the big men fight and the comics just became fodder for endless Marvel Events and to crib movie beats from.

The woman who broke the Neil Gaiman story had nefarious transphobic reasons for publishing about Gaiman, and it didn't work out how she wanted at all. She wanted queers to rush to defend Gaiman so they'd end up looking bad, lol.

>She wanted queers to rush to defend Gaiman so they'd end up looking bad, lol.

What? Where are you getting that?

>But that denial has not prevented Dark Horse Comics being the latest one of his publishers, streamers, or other platforms from dropping the author. In a post on X, Dark Horse Comics this week said: “Dark Horse takes seriously the allegations against Neil Gaiman and we are no longer publishing his works.”


I dunno, I think there should be some kind of trial before someone is condemned for mere allegations.

Where at all this this said or alluded to in the story?

https://brucebyfield.com/2013/02/17/garth-ennis-and-gender/

>Gender issues don’t play well in comics. The most notorious example is Dave Sims’ Cerebus series, which, as soon the topic was raised, degenerated from a hilarious and inventive series into self-indulgent, misogynistic rants that quickly became unreadable. By contrast, though, Garth Ennis has not only been discussing gender issues repeatedly in his series, but doing so in with an artistry that makes what he has to say intelligent even if – as I do – you have reservations about his opinions.


>This suggestion, I realize, requires some defense. Garth Ennis? The hard-swearing, raunchy, ultra-violent, hilarious Garth Ennis, who had to start his own publishing company to write the sort of things he wanted? And there is no denying that Ennis is fascinated by machismo and war, so much so that his treatment of super heroes almost always involves men trained in violence overcoming those with super powers.


>Remember, though, that this is the same writer whose best-known work, Preacher, ends with the hero literally riding into the sunset with the love of his life – the same writer who gave loner John Constantine a major love interest in Kit Ryan, a tough, cynical woman from Belfast, and even managed to make their breakup poetic and sentimental.


>If you focus on the scripts and ignore the often gratuitously sexist artwork, he is also the writer who manages believable portraits of strong women like Deborah Tiegel and Bloody Mary. Yes, there is a large degree of male wish-fulfillment in female characters like Tulip O’Hare or Annie January, but there is also an effort to give them their own inner lives and concerns in a way that few male writers of graphic novels have even attempted.


>I have read much of Ennis’ work, but far from all of it. To say the least, he is prolific, and some of his work, such as his war stories, would only interest me because they were done by him. However, three of works stand out as places where gender roles play a major role.


What does /leftyco/ think about Mafalda?
