Hmm, a somewhat unpopular reaction to Slender Man.

Okay! Next up, get your Chucks on and wrap a flannel shirt round your waist cuz we're going back to the 90s:

The Maxx

Spider-Aziz · 11-01-2012, 10:27 AM

I got a feeling you asked about this pokemon before

Wesley Dodds · 11-01-2012, 10:39 AM

Did I? I'm pretty sure I haven't.

Just did a brief search, and I couldn't find anything.

Anubis · 11-01-2012, 12:57 PM

Awesome.

Never could get into the Maxx. Didn't read the comics, but I did use to watch the animated shorts on " Liquid TV" on MTV back in the day, but couldn't understand what was going on.

Don't know much about The Maxx. Doesn't look terribly appealing.

I watched that series in pretty much a single night back in college. Cant says I entirely understood what was going on either... It still managed to be awesome though.

'Kay! New character!

Scud

Wesley Dodds · 11-02-2012, 12:21 PM

I'm pretty interested in Scud.

I've seen him around for a while, but listen to the Wiki description:

Scud: The Disposable Assassin (published from 1994 to 1998, and 2008) is a humorous, hyperkinetic science fiction comic by Rob Schrab about a world in which one can buy robot assassins out of vending machines, the most popular of which are intelligent robots that kill a specified target and then self-destruct.
The protagonist of the series is Scud, an average Heart Breaker Series 1373 model assassin. On his first mission, he is sent to kill Jeff, a rampaging female mutant with mousetraps for hands, an electrical plug for a head, and a squid for a belt.

During his first mission, Scud glances in a mirror and sees the warning label on his back explaining how he will self-destruct upon completion of his mission. Realizing that he doesn't want to die, Scud mortally wounds Jeff, shooting off her arms and legs, then takes her to a hospital placing her on life support ensuring their mutual survival.[1]
Scud: TDA's main plot follows Scud's career as a freelance mercenary and assassin, working to pay off Jeff's medical bills.

With a synopsis like that, it's gotta be worth a look right?

Anubis · 11-02-2012, 12:55 PM

Yeah, he's pretty cool.

Spider-Aziz · 11-02-2012, 01:21 PM

Fido Dido

Wesley Dodds · 11-02-2012, 01:24 PM

yeah, there's a definite similarity there. Whatever happened Fido Dido anyway?

ShredderX · 11-03-2012, 04:33 PM

Scud was pretty cool. Haven't read anything with him in it since the 90's though.

Wesley Dodds · 11-03-2012, 04:43 PM

Mmmkay, so it's been a while since I've done a "theme" here, I think it might be interesting to temporarily expand this thread's parameters a bit and focus on non-Marvel/DC books, as opposed to just characters.

Tonight's:

Maus

Anubis · 11-03-2012, 10:36 PM

Great story. One of those comics that elevates the genre.

Wesley Dodds · 11-03-2012, 11:25 PM

Yeah, I've heard it's incredible.
I've sorta deliberately put off checking it out, just so I know I'll have something that'll be good to read when I run out of "classic, genre-defining" masterpieces.

It's my "In case of emergency, break glass" book, if that makes sense.

BLACKVULCAN · 11-04-2012, 01:54 PM

Maus isnt a comic book....... IT'S A FREAKIN "WAR AND PEACE NOVEL!"
anybody that ever thinks comics are for kids and &^% just let them read that (but people who think comics are for kids only probably cant read!

)
THAT *&^^ IS AWESOME!! ON 1984 George Orwell AWESOME!!

Wesley Dodds · 11-04-2012, 05:22 PM

Black Hole

Anubis · 11-04-2012, 05:47 PM

That was good. I liked it.

One messed up STD.

Also, that chick with the tail was hot.

Wesley Dodds · 11-04-2012, 05:49 PM

Yeah, agreed on all counts. This book was cool, and Charles Burns artwork is just unreal...

Spider-Aziz · 11-04-2012, 11:24 PM

Why are the eyes covered with red tape?
Man, those are too many comic book characters I never heard of

Anubis · 11-04-2012, 11:27 PM

Black Hole isn't a character so much as it's a story.

Like Maus.

It's about a nasty STD that's going through a small midwestern town in the 70's that kinda mutates whoever gets it. It's different for everybody. Some can pass, most are so f**ked up they end up livin' in the woods. Basically like the X-Men minus the creepy bald guy, the melodrama, the super fights, and snazzy costumes.

Wesley Dodds · 11-05-2012, 03:00 PM

Persepolis

Wesley Dodds · 11-06-2012, 07:39 AM

From Hell

Anubis · 11-06-2012, 08:24 AM

I only saw the movie Persepolis. Pretty good.

Same with From Hell. I liked it. I heard that if I had read the book I probably wouldn't.....I've chosen to go with willful ignorance on this one.
