The Official Loveless Thread

[Sarge]

Im surprised no one has made a thread about this yet.

Brian Azzarello+Sergio Leone western=me masturbating

Check out the preview here. (http://www.dccomics.com/media/excerpts/4281_x.pdf)

Sounds cool. The name caught my eye since it's the title of one of my favorite albums of all time by My Bloody Valentine. Azzarello can write gritty like a mofo, and when you add that style to the "spaghetti western" genre, sounds like a match made in heaven (or hell, if you prefer). Kick-ace art, too!

[Sarge]

Also, that cover is the epitome of kickassity.

woot!!!

[Sarge]

There has to be more than two people hyped for this. :o

[sinewave]

Give it time, they'll come around. Maybe post a pic from the preview.

[Sarge]

They can just click the link the lazy bastards.:mad:

Plus, it's in pdf so I can't really put it directly into my post.

[sinewave]

I dunno, man. Maybe change the thread title to include Azzarello and Leone's names That'll catch some eyes.

[Sarge]

Screw it, I'm going to keep bumping it. Someone else has to post in it some time. :mad:

[sinewave]

I'll do what I can, too.

[CantThinkOfAName]

I cant wait for this either. I was looking forward to it the first time I heard of it (a small mention at like last years Comic Con, i think). This is gonna quite awesome:up:

[Sarge]

What's disappointing is that we're given no references or clues as to the actual plot of the book, but I can deal with that because the concept itself is so spooge worthy.

[sinewave]

bump.

[The Watchman]

I can't wait, this is going to be the new "buzzed about" Vertigo seires.:up:

Great sig. I would have Tobias' anal-babies. I've said too much...

[Sarge]

I can't wait, this is going to be the new "buzzed about" Vertigo seires.:up:
Hopefully this will be the new Hellblazer/Sandman/100 Bullets type book. :up:

[Sarge]

bump. :o




(Tim Bradstreet should be doing the covers.)

[Elijya]

I signed up for it at my shop weeks ago :up:

[The Watchman]

I had to sign up in blood, is that unusual?

im not sure i like the art and panel layout buy i sure as hell am getting this. When is it coming out? I had no idea.

[Elijya]

no, that's normal. Blood is so passe' these days. It would have been weird if it was any OTHER bodily substance

[jackcool]

The preview pages look good so far. And I'm glad that Marcelo Fruisin's art is looking pretty impressive. His last few issues of Hellblazer were pretty average.....

[Sarge]

I like the panel layout, it makes everything feel cinematic.

[LanternFan]

Well I tells ya.

I don't know from who or what this here thing came from, but I loves to see me a buncha soldiers catching a beatin from some fella they figured they could just walk all over.

Looks mighty fine t'me.

[Elijya]

first issue hit with a bang. Would this be considered Western Noir? I think it might....

[Anubis]

I haven't gotten my comics yet, but I would assume it was good if you felt the need to make an official thread on the first issue. So, what happened?

[DBM]

I haven't got my comics yet either but I have been looking forward to this.

[Elijya]

if you're a fan of 100 bullets, you'll enjoy this. Azzerello is in top form, the art is very similar to Risso's, and Patricia Mulvihill is doing the colors

thus far, it's set in the days just after the civil war has ended, and discouraged confederate veterans are still at odds with the controlling Union soldiers

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm not sure I get why this book is so highly anticipated beyond Azz's name, since I haven't been keeping up with much comic news. The first issue was pretty good, though. It would've been nice to see a different kind of art than just another would-be Risso with Azz's writing, but similarities in style notwithstanding, the art was decent. I'll be getitng the next issue.

[The Ether]

im gonna get it tommorrow. just interested, but i want to hear more people state there opinions about this book

[Anubis]

Finally read it. Could done without the use of the N-Word, but, I suppose it added to the realism of what life was like at the time. Overall, good first ish. Definatly picking up the next one.

[Elijya]

it's about a confederate veteran in the days after the civil war. I'd expect ALOT more use of that word in this series, Anubis

[Anubis]

Yeah, thats what pretty much what I figured.

[The Leaguer]

This was a great issue, although the twist (for lack of a better term) at the end was pretty predictable. I also felt like this was sort of a waste of an issue. While well-written, it just seemed overall unnecessary. All that really happened was that the main character introduced and all that was really conveyed is that he has a shady past, no one really likes him, including the army, and he loves his wife. Nevertheless, it was good, and I'll be sticking with it.

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, the ending was totally hot, so that's something, at least. :)

[The Leaguer]

True, nudity makes most things okay.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, it did wonders for Howard Stern's career.

[The Leaguer]

Yeah, that career would have sky-rocketed if it weren't for Howard Stern.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah. Wait, what?

[The Leaguer]

Some people say cucumbers taste better pickled.

[Elijya]

I had a hamburger last night for the first time in 6 months


wait, WTF is going on here?

[TheCorpulent1]

Some people say cucumbers taste better pickled.
Those lying BASTARDS! :mad:

[The Leaguer]

Those are words only one who has never tasted a pickle would utter.

[TheCorpulent1]

Oh, I've tasted my share of pickles. And I think you know what I mean by that.

[Motown Marvel]

i LOVED the first issue...this series is gonna rule. the art was awesome!

[Elijya]

can we go back to talking about nudity?

[The Leaguer]

Oh, I've tasted my share of pickles. And I think you know what I mean by that.
I do. Oh, I do.

[Xofenroht]

can we go back to talking about nudity?

Yeah,

how's your mom?

[TheCorpulent1]

can we go back to talking about nudity?
And the stickiness. :up:

[Elijya]

Yeah,

how's your mom?
she's good. She just got done shooting Wrinkled and Old Debutantes 34. It has her first DV/DA scene

[Xofenroht]

she's good. She just got done shooting Wrinkled and Old Debutantes 34. It has her first DV/DA scene

Let me know when it's out on video. I used to direct some of her movies.

Anyway...I think I'm going to put this on my pull. I need to make a whole new one any way.

[Assassin]

Havent read it yet, but bought it

[Elijya]

King illegal forest to pig wild kill in it a is!

[Assassin]

wheres peck?

[Elijya]

right behind you! :eek:

[sinewave]

Just read it. It was pretty good, but I kept expecting the person on the horse who's face they never showed was going to turn out to be zombie. That would have been pretty cool, but then again, it ended pretty well. :)

Crap, zombies in the Wild West would've been like a thousand times cooler...

[The Watchman]

Such a badass first issue with a great setup for the series, been really looking foreward to this one for months and it payed off.

[The Leaguer]

Crap, zombies in the Wild West would've been like a thousand times cooler...
Nude zombies.

[The Watchman]

fighting ninja-pirates.

[sinewave]

and maybe throw in some rock-a-billy fighter pilots, too! sorry, old Conan joke.

[Elijya]

with jet-packs! jet packs make everything cooler. I think that's what's wrong with the modern comic market: not enough Jet-Packs

[The Watchman]

You need to read Batman: Gotham County Line # 1 :up:

[Anubis]

Whats a jet pack without a ray gun to go with it. Everybody should be just like f**king Adam Strange.

[sinewave]

Yes, jet-packs and ray guns by the bushel! Here here!

[Elijya]

why by the bushel? why not by the barrel?

[sinewave]

can't argue with you there!

[Assassin]

what they need are giant robots, dc hasnt had a case of giant robots yet, they have to be from outer space tho. Or a jonah hex lovless cross over, u know one where they do-it :up:

[Anubis]

Get the hell outta her, everybody knows giant robots suck.

[Assassin]

[The Ether]

Read Loveless, issues looks like it's heading to a good start. Didn't know the setting was post-Civil war and your looking at the side of the confederates and what they lost and all. All in all, good issue i'll be picking up the next issue for sure.

[Bullseye]

i liked the first issue of loveless. cant wait for issue 2. everything i read the Azzarello wrote i have liked.

[PUNISHER51]

Have you guys been reading Loveless? It's awesome! It's been one of the best reads ever. Does anyone know when the 5th comes out or how many they are making?

[TheCorpulent1]

It's pretty good. I'm not entirely sure I understand everything that's going on, but Azzarello's one of those writers that likes to show you bits of the puzzle slowly until the image forms almost without your realizing near the end, so I guess it'll make more sense as I go. Loveless is published by DC's Vertigo imprint, though, so you might want to make your comments in the Loveless thread over there:

[Silver Sable]

Sounds like a depressing comic by the name

[TheCorpulent1]

Dude, it's about a Confederate soldier who comes back to his hometown to find his house seized by the Union army and all of his old friends turning their backs on him. So, basically what I'm saying is that it's a LAUGH-FEST! :D

[Silver Sable]

I know but the title doesn't sound right lol

[Lackey]

hahaha :D

[Silver Sable]

:o :o :o :o

[CConn]

I bought the first few issues, but then dropped it. Mainly because I couldn't keep both Loveless and Jonah Hex, as Corp said, Azz's writing is really more condusive to TPB.

[kypade]

Would this be recommended to someone who hasn't read comics in over a year and who found the thread while searching for one on the MBV cd of the same name?

[Bullseye]

I enjoy Azzarello's writing on this book.

Azzerello also has a new book coming out in October under the Wildstorm imprint.
