Let's Read Heroes Never End (LR: WildStorm)

[SCO]

Have you ever read the wildcards series Vaarna?

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Nope.

 

[SCO]

Well, you probably should considering how much you like superhero comics.

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

Onward, derpish soldiers.

 

[Sceptic]

Oh for fuck's sake, what is it with Ellis and making SO DAMN CERTAIN that any good ideas he has are drowned in an ocean of derp? Not to mention this guy can't write an ending if his life depended on it. Every single one you've posted so far manages to be stupider than the previous one.

And people complain about the Japanese and their anything goes attitude.

Read this piece of retrospective:

Alas, as fun as all this was, the amount of time and effort George was putting into devising new plots and strategies for the game meant that he wasn't actually writing stories (and thus, earning a living) anymore. Realising there had to be some way of making some money from the work done so far, he came up with the idea of a 'shared-world' anthology to make use of the many characters that had been produced for the game. He and Melinda then spent a day developing a framework for an ongoing series of fantasy books that would offer a more realistic look at the impact metahumans would have on our world. (There must have been something in the air - at the same time, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons were developing their similarly-themed opus, Watchmen, while Frank Miller was busy dreaming up The Dark Knight Returns. All three publications would premiere in 1986.)

Geeks...

Once you're done posting WildStorm imprint comics could you post Garth Ennis Punisher starting with either The Tyger or Born?

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

I could post Punisher: Born sometime. It's my favourite Punisher story.

I think that I'm going to be sick.... But doh well, it can only get better from here, right? RIGHT?!

 

[Kashmir Slippers]

Japan gets raped by thousands of phallus-shaped monsters.

I don't know if that is Bioware blunt or not.

Does the story start to vary soon? The whole three-introductory-chapters-and-one-resolution-chapter is getting old.

I still like it though.

 

[Teepo]

Imo the Authority started to get stale after the first story arc. Seems the author didn't have anywhere to go really. But that's really for you guys to decide.

I liked the part where the Superfriends knock offs fought the avengers knock offs...

Personally, I like Squadron Supreme a lot more.

 

[bandaid]

This is fucking pretentious.

 

[Sceptic]

Oh good, much better than the first arc. And this time the resolution doesn't come completely out of left field! A first with Ellis, from what I've seen so far.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

This is fucking pretentious.

 

[Holy Cow]

Not to mention this guy can't write an ending if his life depended on it. Every single one you've posted so far manages to be stupider than the previous one.

I just realized that Jenny Bitchpants is dead! Yaaaaaay! :D

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Anyway, next page Mark Millar takes over the book, and a few pages more and I'll start posting Team Achilles as well (I hope that counts as an apology to those who have been offended by The Authority for some reason).

 

[Holy Cow]

no. keep this a warren ellis only trend. just post transmet next if you have to.

 

[bandaid]

I'm not offended, I just don't get why they introduced the alien organism as 'god' (even though it supposedly created Earth). Seems like they just needed to make it more epic and grandiose; but instead of creating the proper feeling they just named it 'god' and called it a day. Laaazy.

It's still better than most comics I read. Carry on, maybe it will get better later.
