as i said, i pick up comics to read COMICS, not some short story or novella with illustration... if thats what i wanted i would buy it

 

[CConn]

And do you buy them?

 

[sethcohen]

no, its not what i want to buy... didnt i cover that?
i buy magazines, i read news articles on the internet... everyonce in a while i will buy a book and read it if im in the mood... any other questions? i like mexican cuisine and vacations in miami in vegas

 

[Anubis]

Does the mexican cuisine give you mud butt?

 

[sethcohen]

nope, i eat it often enough im immune like the mexicans... my mexican friends used to call me a wannabeaner

 

[raybia]

Hey guys, what going in with Batman in the comics currently?

 

[Anubis]

He's a nicer guy and he's got a son.

 

[WompuM]

Joker is meaner with a speech impediment.

 

[raybia]

He's a nicer guy and he's got a son.

I saw that issue. Didn't he get blown to bits?

 

[WompuM]

Yeah sure. And when Joker got hit by a semi in detective he died for good too.

 

[Anubis]

Pfft, you're kidding right? Since when does a big explosion kill anybody in a superhero comic? Hell, that didn't even kill Jason Todd, and he survived two.

 

[raybia]

Yeah sure. And when Joker got hit by a semi in detective he died for good too.

What a stupid way for an archvillian to bite the big one.

 

[raybia]

Yeah, I'm kidding, but has the kid been back yet?

 

[Anubis]

Not yet, but he's gonna have an arc coming up where he takes over as the Bat in the future during Armageddon and battles the devil, or something like that.

Wow, that sound pretty damn cool.

So...how old are you again? 10, 11?

In any case, while I certainly don't prefer the format Morrison used to standard comic storytelling, I think it was very, very fitting for the type of story that takes place in the issue. I think if it was told in the traditional way, with Kubert on art, a lot of the power and moodiness of the piece would've been removed.

I'm not a fan of computer generated art in the slightest, but, at least, Van Fleet's art set the mood perfectly, and pegged exactly what Morrison was trying to do with the issue.

I love this argument againt people not liking the format, the "You must be 10 or hate reading" argument.

 

[Mee]

"Reading...is an adventure!"

 

[Darthphere]

Butterfly in the sky.

 

[Mee]

I can go twice as high.

 

[Anubis]

I....can....be.....anything..

 

[incubat]

yes...you...can...

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

mmmm bop

 

[WompuM]

take a look

I love your assumption that I think seth is stupid just because I disagree with his opinion. Hey, squeakness said she didn't like the format (or the writing, or the art) in the other Batman discussion thread, and I didn't say or think she was a child. Why? Because she states her opinions clearly and intelligently. And while I may disagree with them, I can't help but feel respect for her. She's obviously a very smart person.

Old sethcohen is the polar opposite of that, however. I'm honestly shocked he's 8 years older than I. Every time I read a post by him I feel dumber even if I agree on whatever point he's trying (and usually failing) to make. What can I say? I can't stand stupid people. Can I be an ASSHAT now?

I....can....be.....anything..

dude.....take a look.....Its in a book.
