From THE CHAMPIONS to THE ORDER

[yenaled]

I love Milo even more after this issue.

 

[LemonSunday]

Great minds think alike.

 

[Anubis]

Paraplegic mud sex. Awesome.

I thought it was interesting. "Gross"? Maybe, but if Garth Ennis, Alan Moore, or Grant Morrison had written something similar (and I am sure some of them may have), everyone'd be claming how brilliant it was. I thought it was a good combination of their powers considering the situation and it was certainly something I didn't predict. That counts for something.

Milo is a bad-ass.

Anyway, I will miss this book terribly, and I can only hope that Fraction brings some of the Order with him for his Iron Man book. That may happen, considering Pepper "Athena" Potts was a Stark supporting character anyway. And Henry "Anthem" Hellrung has been ret-conned into one.

It would've been gross regardless of who did it. I don't know what Ennis, Moore, or Morrison have to do with anything.

Anyway, I didn't even mean it negatively. I liked the issue. That moment was just one of those moments where I sat up and went "eww" while reading a comic.

 

[LemonSunday]

I sat up and and went, "Milo's a badass."

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I thought he was a genius after the initial ick factor.

 

[LemonSunday]

You're such a prude.

I brought those guys up because I recalled when in Morrison's NXM, they had that bit with Nova is revealed to be an evil twin/parasite thing and Xavier as a fetus strangles her in the womb. That to me was one of the most sickening things I'd seen in a comic. Because it was Morrison, though, everyone reacted like it was the best thing since AMAZING FANTASY #15. It was personal.

I thought it was cool. To each their own.

 

[Anubis]

Pfft, that wasn't even in my top ten of sick s**t I've seen in a comic. Hell, the first arc of Garth Ennis' The Boys series alone has several scenes that pwn Morrison's X-Men, and paraplegic mud sex. Now had it actually been on panel, and involved a bit of coprophilia, i'd consider it a contender.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The Boys has some pretty ****ing nasty moments...

 

[LemonSunday]

The Boys sucks. Shock storytelling for shock storytelling's sake blows.

 

[Anubis]

I disagree.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It's not Ennis' best work, but I enjoy it.

 

[LemonSunday]

I'm not too fond of Robertson's current style, either. His earlier Transmet issues were killer.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

His current style is pretty oppressively dark and scratchy. I preferred his earlier style too.

 

[LemonSunday]

He's also one of those artists who does well to not ink their own work, I've noticed.

I don't doubt that. I don't read THE BOYS, though.

 

[Anubis]

You should. If for no other reason than to have more to contribute to a conversation about sick s**t in comics besides something pathetic like embryo homicide.

 

[yenaled]

Meh, I dropped the Boys like a bad habbit a long time ago.

But Grant Morisson's The Fifth - that has some real ****ed up **** in it.
