Disregarding the "darkness" of it, Watchmen is incredibly well written. Like, shockingly well written. Moore can turn a phrase better than pretty much everyone.

Regret is probably too strong a word for what Comedian has, I suppose. He feels guilty at least. I view him as a Nihilist who always thought there was no meaning or purpose to anything, and used that...
Who would I star in it? How about the cast of Planetary?
And then I would call Warren Ellis and make sure he knows DC stole the rights from Planetary from him somehow.
Although I agree that applying "hero" and "villain" to the various characters is very problematic, applying "moral" or "immoral" is easy enough.
Viedt is mass murderer, who is also planning on...
I think people are too hard on Dan and Laurie. They're both basically good people who change for the better from their experiences. I would say they are easily the most moral characters in the book....
Anyone that thinks Ozy is a hero is a wierdo. The text itself explicitly states that he's become evil and he's killed more people than the Holocaust.
I don't think I count as a "Hulk purist" btw. I like Red She Hulk and Son of Hulk and the current Indestructible Hulk series.
Correction: he was the Protagonist of those stories. He was the main character. That's part of what makes them so terrible, IMO, is you have to at least identify with the main character on some...
It sounds like he's going to join AA, not feeling bad about being an unrepentant murderer. The only way he could redeem himself is if he checks into prison and stays there for the next 200 years....
I had a post that either got ate by the internet or deleted by a mod. The gist of it was that I read 30.1 and it was admittedly much better. Loeb's Red Hulk issues were the comic book equivalent of a...
Yeah, I can't take any more Rulk. Sorry Jeff Parker.
Finished Code Red. Now Rulk is just whining all the time about how being a sadistic a-hole makes it hard to have friends. His narration makes him sound like a fascist and he's a terrible person. How...
Ok so I skipped to #15, the Code Red arc that someone mentioned. Is Rulk being ironic? He's blatantly evil and a terrible person but is going around criticizing everyone else. And since when is the...
Ok, I will try some of the later stuff. I just can't get over how bad these first issues were though. It was like a bad 90s comic, Rulk just needed some huge shoulder pads. Here's how I imagine it...
What is that in?
I just read the first six issues of Loeb's Hulk and I feel confused. What is the purpose of this character? I get the feeling this is supposed to be a wacky romp like Nextwave or something, but it...
It's not like Action is their most famous title or anything...
The thread starter, presuambly, assumed that all comic people are hetero men.
Nu Constantine is a de-aged different character, yeah. Milligan said that up front when writing JLD. Not sure how much Swamp Thing continuity they bother using, but that's par for the course with the...
I just saw that Marvel somehow convinced Neil Gaiman to put Angela in the Marvel Universe and co-write Guardians of the Galaxy, AND they still have Garth Ennis writing MAX stuff. Just makes DC look...
Meanwhile, Marvel has Mark Waid writing two (or is it more?) books, Jason Aaron writing Thor and Wolverine and the X-Men, Matt Fraction being awesome as hell with Hawkeye, Bendis on X-Men (people...
Felt really meh. Constantine is my favorite comic character of all time. And I really can't decide if I will bother following this. Lemire's mainstream stuff is not inspiring me much, the art was...
It was ok. The plot sounds like something from a video game (hunt the world for magic items!) and it featured a brightly colored person shooting fireballs.
I pray Hellblazer can return one day.
This is the cover for the new edition of Dangerous Habits:

John Constantine standing on a giant evil pack of cigarettes and an octopus tries to sneak up on him...
For Bloodlines...
You can get away with a lot if you have no sex, nudity, swearing or drugs. Lord of the Rings has tons of killing and even decapitations in a PG13 film.
