State Your Opinion on a Character - Part 1

[Anubis]

Okay, who is he and where does he come from?

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Madder Red is the main character of Nick Spencer's new Image book Bedlam.

Basically, he was The Joker of his universe. A sick, twisted villain who killed thousands. I don't want to spoil anything but something happened, and Bedlam is the story of his trying to go straight and redeem himself.
Great art, writing, pacing... the woiks.

Nick Spencer... first Morning Glories, now this. Why is this guy not more famous?!

 

[Anubis]

Interesting

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Indubitably.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Today's character:

Parker

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Lead character of Darwyn Cooke's 2009 IDW adaptation of Richard Stark's novel, The Hunter.

 

[Anubis]

He's pretty cool. Anything Darwyn Cooke does is cool.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Cooke's cool. It would be nice to see him do a creator-owned title, though.

Pretty much everything he's done has been with other people's characters...

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Tek Jansen

 

[Wesley Dodds]

I really have to read this. I love Stephen Colbert so I'll be shocked if it's anything less than hysterical.

 

[The Question]

Tek Jansen has clearly had hundreds of girlfriends.

 

[Anubis]

Clearly.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Oh yeah. He's rolling in them.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Luther Strode

 

[Anubis]

He looks like Wildcat with a leather fetish.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

It's a new Image book I might try soon. From Comic Vine:

"Luther is your typical nerd, scrawny, clumsy, has glasses and is a target for bullies. Luther lives with his very timid mother (who seems terrified by the outside world, possibly due to an abusive relationship) and he has one best friend, Pete, who is also into comic books and video games as well as a nerd. Luther's new life started with a book. Desperate to finally get some respect, girls and get the bullies off his back he ordered "The Hercules Method." His miracle book instructs the reader to: "...focus the mind, body and spirit towards one goal. By bring all three into alignment, the physical enthusiast can bring all of them under conscious control." Unbeknownst by Luther practicing this he has developed some strange talents; incredible reflexes, a danger sense and strength."

Sounds like it could be Flex Mentallo meets Scott Pilgrim. Might be a load of bollocks, though.
Only one way to find out...

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Jansen looks like Colbert, that's just I guess

Luther Strode.....
Lori Strode's brother by adoption or something? He should kill Michael Myers

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Mace Windu

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

Sucks!!! That dude plays the same character whether it's with genetically engineered sharks or a plane with snakes! It's just Sam jackson with a purple lightsaber!! I don't get the appeal! Booooo that!

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Yeah, but I think "just Sam Jackson with a lightsaber" could have been just the shot in the arm those lifeless prequels needed, Vulcan.

Unfortunately, by the time they actually gave him something to do it was too little too late.

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

Yeah. Seriously "too late" and bad plots! By the time he showed up it was game over for those flicks!

Hell! Lando/ Billy Dee Williams is/ was waaaaay cooler than this dude!

 

[Anubis]

He was awesome on those Clone Wars Micro episodes.



Hell, everybody was awesome on those. Then sucked horribly in the movies.....go figure.

So, you know, he cool. Depending on where he shows up.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

He's ok, nothing more
Too bad Annakin killed him

 

[Duke]

He's ok, nothing more
Too bad Annakin killed him

Nope. Anakin just chopped off his hand, Palpatine actually killed him, lighting him up with all that Force Lightning & sending him through the window to his death.

Anyway, I like Windu & his no nonsense approach & attitude in the Prequels. I feel Lucas could've developed his character better & given him more scenes too. I also agree with Vulcan, in that Lando is a better character in the SW universe. t:

Alright, too bad that *****e was an accomplice in the murder of patchless Nick Fury
