Some guy putting on a costume and beating up criminals with a painted bat.

JRjr's art best not be as rushed as it was in WWH. I mean, he's one of my favourite artists...but the panels he was giving us in WWH? They looked pretty awful

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Wasn't that Nite-Wing?

The concept's been used a lot. Granted, Millar's using the twists that this guy's his universe's first superhero, and nobody else has powers. But angry-guy-with-bat? Nothing new.

 

[JackRembrandt]

Wouldn't it be awesome if the character's name was Mark Millar and he gets way in over his head and is beaten to death in the end?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'd buy three copies.

 

[JackRembrandt]

I'll be first in line for the movie.

 

[sandwraith]

But comic book movies suck???

 

[JackRembrandt]

Not all the time.

 

[sandwraith]

Millar getting beaten up...yeah, that's silver screen gold right there. 10 bucks says that this guy runs around like a fruitcake ala All-Star Batman, beating up Cops and banging chicks...in costume!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

That would only be cool if the chicks were in the costumes.

 

[sandwraith]

Fishnets? Or Super-heroines beaten up by their superhero husbands? In costume???

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Now you're just promoting misogyny.

 

[sandwraith]

Bah, filthy American big word. As far as this series is concerned...well...I dunno, Millar gets WAY too overpolitical in his comics. If he decided to dumb it down a little, I'd say this is going to be a cross between Wanted and The Goon. Am I interested? Nah. Why settle for something second rate when we can read The Boys?

Sting?

 

[JackRembrandt]

From the Police?

 

[wolvie2020]

It does kinda sound like Nite-wing. I wonder if the main character of this book will be a little crazy, too.

The difference is that this is set in our 'real world,' not some fictional universe.

I for one thinks this looks great, and I can't wait to check it out!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

If this guy doesn't get shot in the face within a couple of issues, you can bet your ass he's definitely in a fictional universe.

 

[JackRembrandt]

Exactly. There's no way this can end any other way without the dude getting himself killed.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Unless he's running around terrorizing suburbs with a baseball bat. That'd be pretty funny and relatively safe.

 

[JackRembrandt]

That's not very dramatic, though. I mean, I guess it'd be good for a chuckle or two, but in the long run, no. I wanna see this *****e try and stop a drug deal go down and get his ass popped.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Haha, that would actually make a great comic--start it off with some dude who goes out to be superhero and then he gets killed within the first arc. Maybe it'll happen. Millar loves the shocks.

 

[Harlekin]

How's he a superhero anyway? He's a guy running around with a baseball bat.

 

[JackRembrandt]

Did you miss the ENTIRE point?

 

[Harlekin]

Nah, just the fact that it's redundant to use the term 'superhero' when it doesn't even involve superpowers or supervillains.

 

[JackRembrandt]

It's about a guy who loves superheroes and decides to make himself into one. Does that make him a superhero? I guess that's up to the reader.
