World Doc Ock's lair

[Hobgoblin]

Ramos may not be the greatest Spidey artist ever (certainly better than Jim Lee's version in "Shush," eh Doc? ) but I enjoy this Ock pic. I think of this pic every time I wear my black trenchcoat.

Ok here we go.First off we have a nice little panel of Peter giving his thoughts on Ock.As you can imagine,he doesn't have anything nice to say about him:

What he did, Pete, was hand you your ass and then rub salt in the wound.

...I had a nice long post all done up about the previous scans and SHH ate it.

..... must.... study.... must understand... the difference between anticholinergics and antipsychotics.... *brain goes blank*.... more coffee... studying... good....

Awww.... **** it.... time to repost this silly art.

Moral of the story: artwork on cruddy paper is always, always a bad idea. [Both versions are still up in there, for those one or two interested in seeing what I changed.]

The quality on that pic looks much better

I have to say,despite Ock being a chubby guy with a bowl cut,nobody finds it unreal,or ridiculous when we see him making out with a hot lady.

Silver if you don't recognise that short haired girl now,then I'm gonna give you a b1tch slap of my own

Keep at the study Sym.Don't be brilliant but lazy

Absolutely. I don't know why he's not there already - of all the writers I've seen handling this material, he is one of a handful who not only "get" Spidey, but also his villains. That's why I don't like that Peter David guy's novels: he has no clue as to what makes villains tick. We need a good representation of both sides of the story.

Just reading that quote you gave earlier,imagine what he would have done with Ock and GG.Such awesomeness I cannot imagine.

*sigh* So much untapped potential.

The story from which you have posted,and which I got Mr Venom_uk for Xmas , was a great story indeed.

I didn't hate that look.But I'm not a huge fan of it.It's ok.On a scale of 1-10 it's about a 5 or maybe even 6 with me.

The worst Ock costume ever is the one from Spider-Man: Chapter One,where he wore some metallic outfit Metal on his arms and legs etc.Yuck.

I'd love to own a trenchcoat.I'd probably stand in front of a mirror wearing it with a pair of shades on

 

[Symbiotica]

What's amusing is that he "overwhelmed and humiliated" Peter, so that immediately means he's "evil personified!" Hah. Sounds like more than a bit of denial to me.

These images in this arc were effective in that despite the deformed renderings of the characters, Ramo's portrayal of Ock let his disdain for everything and everyone shine right on through... and they were beautifully colored.

The other half has a long black leather trench I bought him for Christmas a few years back. Despite his professed disdain for all things comic, it never fails to please him when I refer to him as my "personal supervillain" whenever he wears it.

Ock is the first villain to hand Spidey his ass,and make a fool out of him at the same time.

Wouldn't you be bitter too??

Ock is evil personified,but not because he b1tch slapped Spidey.Call me crazy,but a guy who tries to blow up cities,snap people's necks with a whim,carry out giant criminal schemes at least twice a year,form super villain groups,start gang wars,exploit trusting old ladies for their inheritance and use their home as a hideout etc, is not exactly flying with the angels

LOL!

Get him to put a pair of shades on.And trick him into saying an Ock line

SEXay. :tssssssss-hot:

 

[Silver S]

Wow, I'd better start adding something of some value here again. The majority of my posts lately have been one liners and b**chfests, and that's not very productive. I haven't had much to do with Ock or even comics lately, which is probably the root of my problem.

 

[Nicklogic]

one liners still rock hon The wittiness is the key of your posts.


By the way, I mentioned a black trench coat to my mom for Christmas we'll see eh? Here's hoping!

 

[Symbiotica]

.....Geez, are these new pop-ups just more annoying than ever, or is that just me? That jete'-ing Circuit City girl in particular makes me want to grab the nearest firearm and take aim.... not to mention she hijacks my cursor...

My opinion: if the one-liners and b*tchfests are witty and amusing, they are more worth reading than reams of crap from the less-talented. The Spoilers forum is an example: we have a relative newbie in there who's basically taken over the forum. After miles of text, he's yet to say one single thing worth noting, compared to when I come in here and I always see something that makes me smile, even if it's just a sentence long.

More scanning [and yes, I did manage to get more studying done today than you might think]....

 

[Symbiotica]

This is from the "Funeral for an Octotopus" mini, and boy does it REEK. Octo-Spidey, oh someone please just put me out of my misery! I do not have a single nice thing to say about it.

 

[Symbiotica]

Yadda yadda ya..... the rest of the Six end up looking like total poltroons, Kaine shows up and he's waaaay overpowered, Reilly shows up and does anyone care? Not me.... Vulture v.2, just a mishmash of undesireable reading ending with Spidey vowing to find Ock's killer. Send him over here when you find him dude, after reading this my will to live is just GONE.

 

[The Joker]

Thank you kindly for the scans Sym A funeral for an Octopus was a bad,bad,BAD arc.For several reasons.

Ok first of all it was bad enough Ock was dead,but now we have Spidey wearing the arms to fend off the other members of the Six,who also wanted the arms.Octo-Spidey.......

Second I was expecting "Funeral" to be more of a Eulogy. Instead it was a light-hearted running battle for the Doctor's mechanical remains. To me, this was a shame. Ock has been a big part of Spider-Man's history, and I think he deserved better.

Early on there are some references to the Doctor's past, particularly the deaths of Bennett Brant and Captain Stacy. Personally though, I was hoping for something a little more nostalgic and moving.

And another thing.Spidey knew full well why Ock saved him.He wanted to be the one to kill him.Ock told him so himself.Bah,no respect for continuity.

One decent thing about this arc was the art.I liked it.But other than that it was a lost cause this arc.Thankfully it's buried and forgotten in the sands of time,because Ock is back large and in charge

 

[Silver Sable]

I found this in Draw4u's fanart thread.Man this guy rocks!

 

[Nicklogic]

awesome inks on that one.

I'll drink to that - I'll take humor over dry, uninspired writing any day.

And.

...is...is the Spidey face being projected out of his...his crotch in that picture? And if so, why?

 

[Silver S]

The art is better than most the trash on the shelves today? At least, on this page.

 

[Symbiotica]

The art is the only, ONLY!!!!!! good thing about this arc. The story is just atrocious. I could write something better than that in my sleep! Hell, my 13 year old niece probably could [she's a pretty good writer for her age].

Those are the three best pages, aside from some assorted Electro panels.

It's so bad I am amazed this arc alone didn't raise Ock from the dead, just out of sheer outrage at the misuse of his name. Forget the ninja, we don't need 'em. lol

 

[The Joker]

The mystical ninjas were Shakespeare compared to that arc lol.Terrible.

Ock I've been rooting thru my Ock collection,and I decided to show this from the Owl/Octopus war I first scanned.I know I showed a bunch of pages of Ock trashing Black Cat.But really can you get enough of seeing her get beat up???

I know I can't:

Why did Spidey have to catch her??? Let her endure all she gets for messing with Ock.He may have saved her,but Crappy,being the brainless tramp she is,has to go and upset him more by taking his toy:

Honestly,did she really think she could steal Ock's toy on him like that??? Stupid girl.Very stupid.

 

[The Joker]

Now when it comes to criminal schemes,Ock always thinks big.If he robs a bank or an armoured van etc,you can believe it's only a small part of a much grander plan.

One of Ock's most nasty schemes involved an extortion scheme,in which he threatened to kill 5 million of New York's citizens,unless he was paid 20 million dollars in gems.
Ock had developed a deadly poison which he planned to put into the Daily Bugle's ink,which would absorb thru the skin of it's readers,killing them.And Ock being Ock,just had to double cross.Even though he recieved payment,he decided to poison them anyway.Gotta love him:

You know,I think Jonah would blame Spidey for the common cold if he could

LOL.

 

[Norman Osborn]

Thank you kindly for the scans Sym A funeral for an Octopus was a bad,bad,BAD arc.For several reasons.

I kid you not......just finished off the "Web of Death" arc....had "funeral for an octopus" pegged next to read......and then I read this........I'm still going to read it for continuity sakes .....but damn

 

[Herr Logan]

You know,I think Jonah would blame Spidey for the common cold if he could

I know Spider-Man himself said that at least once in the comics.

I think it is from his belt... but it sure looks like crotch-projection at first glance

 

[Nicklogic]

I am a fan of the "breaking out of the frame", as long as it isn't overdone and can be read ok. The last frame on this page, very much love the framing AND the perspective. And I do like the cropping on frame three, on the right.
