Oh, Adam Hughes, why can't I quit you?

He will say the most obnoxious things, but I do love his art.

This image, here is, yes, saved on his server as DC_babes.jpg, and does, as always, look rather boobtastic, but guys. GUYS. Peej's boob window in a context where it makes sense.

And then, even more wonderfully, the crew of firefly, as you've never before seen them: happy. And nobody even looks boobified. River looks flat chested.

So, if you're not into comics, I'm not sure I can convey the ridiculousness and surpassing beauty of Rob Liefeld criticizing Alan Moore for being a diva. But if you show the vaguest signs of interest, I'll be happy to attempt it. At length. For everyone else: Dinosaur comic-form. (src)

Why didn't anyone tell me that Whedon had an awesome webcomic? I could have requested it for yuletide! You're all fired. It's got girls and robots, and reads like Whedon wrote it after a 72 hour Invader Zim marathon. Oh, and the art's by Fabio Moon.

Oh, Comics.

First, DC releases this preview cover, and ( so mild as to hardly be a spoiler ) Thank you, DC, for helping me cross another fanfic cliche appearing in comics off my list. Best part: ( Read more... )

Then, Marvel, feeling that they are falling behind in homoerotic subtext, releases this fabulous statement.

I eagerly await DC's press release about a story-line featuring Bruce Wayne as "a Liberace-like party animal."

Guys, reading this thread has made me SO FOND of fanboys! SO FOND. On page twenty two one of them asks, "So, Cass vs. Boba Fett?" and I just went "n'awwww!"

Of course, there's another fifty pages of the thread, so they still have plenty of time to redeem themselves. Maybe I should stop now.

I've kind of been on sabbatical from comics. Not from fandom, but every time I read a comic I came out feeling depressed, stupider, angry, or just... whatever. I wanted to know what was happening the characters I cared about, but I'd open the comic and it'd be about some other character with the same name. Feh.

So. Pretend I haven't read anything since Infinite Crisis. Without spoilers, what should I read that will make me go, hey, I like comics?
