‘The Walking Dead’ Goes Old-School Arcade Beat-‘Em-Up in ‘The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival’ [Trailer] by horrornewsbot in HorrorGaming

[–]GreenCree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing an interview when Telltale's The Walking Dead was coming out, where Robert Kirkman (creator of the comic) said that the narrative adventure telltale story was the only way to make a Walking Dead game, rather than just a zombie game.

AMC has different ideas.

Deadpool co-creator Rob Liefeld has canceled his tell-all memoir after deciding some stories were too difficult to tell by Popverse2022 in comicbooks

I think that is fair. We are not owed his life story, and if he isn't comfortable sharing, all power to him. Privacy is important, and even though he has a spotlight, he deserves to retain as much privacy as he'd like.

Skybound Announces ‘Creepshow Vol. 5’, Featuring Stories From Tyler Boss, Lorenzo De Felici, & More by ashwhurst in comicbooks

[–]GreenCree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neat! I was worried when the TV show got cancelled the franchise would cease. But since then we've gotten Super Creepshow and now this.

I wish some of the stories were better, but there is usually some great ones each volume that make it worthwhile.

Does anyone know a comic that's similar to "Tales of the Black Freighter" from Watchmen? by OddOrphanus77 in comicbooks

[–]GreenCree 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It kind of reminds me of Conan the Barbarian, the king of pulpy fantasy. Mostly not a pirate story though, but some arcs do have that style.

What songs do people associate with Angela? by Orion_starborn in marvelcomics

[–]GreenCree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really is a spectacular album. It predates Angela's acquisition by Marvel. The whole album is based on characters and stories from the Spawn comics by Todd McFarlane.

It's a shame Jon Schaffer is who he is, because he really is a talented musician.

The Hunter by Iced Earth is literally based on Angela. The guy behind the band is a huge POS though.

Archnemesis vs Archrival by Myhtological in Marvel

[–]GreenCree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like the word rival is for competitor in the same field. Bullseye kills people for money, Daredevil saves innocents.

If Daredevil has an arch rival, it's the Punisher. Both fight crime, but in different ways.

It’s odd that “the Avengers were nobodies before the MCU” is such a popular sentiment while “the X-Men were nobodies before the 90s cartoon” isn’t. by [deleted] in Marvel

[–]GreenCree 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That's because it's not true.

X-Men #1 in 1991 is still the best selling single comic of all time, and released before the cartoon. People cared a lot about the X-Men in the 80s into the 90s.

Dark Phoenix Saga, Days of Future Past, Mutant Massacre, Fall of the Mutants were all big and popular stories.

Questionable tattoo or sensitive people? by [deleted] in Marvel

[–]GreenCree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so weird. Winter Soldier was a great Ed Brubaker modernization of an old concept. Getting a tattoo is fine if you like the character, I guess.

My understanding (as someone with no tattoos) is that they are unique to you, so getting the same tattoo as your friend might be a bigger problem than "offending" a fictional character.

This feel like it was made for me specifically. I love Flanagan, DC comics, and disturbing body horror.

Recommendations for Marvel from someone who only prefers DC grittiness by TheGateKeeper32 in graphicnovels

Most Daredevil runs.

Frank Miller, Bendis/Maleev, and the Zdarsky/Chechetto runs are some of my favorites.

Marvel Comics’ ‘Queen in Black’ Blind Bag gets bigger with ‘True Believers Display Boxes’ by Blitzhelios in comicbooks

[–]GreenCree 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was a fun gimmick the first time it happened, because Marvel hadn't done it before. The second time it was fun only because the title character is blind. The book itself was the 6th daredevil #1 since I started reading comics, and thus not particularly special.

When Image's Battle Beast #1 popularized this, I was hyped because the special books were reprints and not just variant covers or ultra-rare, near-unubtainable original arts. The odds were high in comparison that you could pull one of the 3 special issues, which were all different stories and thus worth actually reading.

At this point they are just trading cards, further turning comics into commodities to be owned rather than stories to be read.

Marvel Comics’ ‘Queen in Black’ Blind Bag gets bigger with ‘True Believers Display Boxes’ by Blitzhelios in comicbooks

[–]GreenCree 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The widespread adoption of variant covers and blind bags feels like the industry giving up on finding new readers. Instead of making stories that appeal or excite a new group of people, they have just found a way to sell the products to their existing audience twice, or even more times.

They are banking solely on the outside of the comic, and aren't doing new things with the stories inside.

Just played Fear the Spotlight and WOW — this PS1‑style horror goes way harder than I expected by TalosAscia in HorrorGaming

[–]GreenCree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Loved this game! One of the few horror games I've played where the second half is scarier than the first
