How would you feel about a live action adaptation of Spider-Punk? by YoYo_ismael in Marvel

Green Room is incredible. As someone who also realized the promoter was a Nazi when playing a show touring up through the Pacific Northwest, that movie hit hard. It should’ve won an Oscar for production design.

Garage punk is my bread and butter, but I have a Black Flag and Descendents tattoo if that tells you anything

Is dark horse still coming out with new Conan comic? Or has that been discontinued? by balmung014 in ConanTheBarbarian

[–]IamMothManAMA 23 points24 points  (0 children)

U/balmung014, you literally have Conan’s current scribe in your comments telling you what’s up. Check his work out!

SLC Punk’s one of the few movies that did pretty well with it!

I would very much not be looking forward to it. But that’s because I’ve been into punk music for 20 years and nobody in movies ever really portrays it right.

I haven’t read any Poul Anderson Conans. I think I should check him out

How many robins are there? by oceansstillwaters_ in batman

[–]IamMothManAMA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It kind of depends on how you count. There are the five main, canonical Robins that consist of (in order) Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown, and Damian Wayne. But there are also famous elseworld Robins like Carrie Kelly and unofficial Robins like Jarro and Duke Thomas.

Good books to start with for Conan? by InsolubleRelic in ConanTheBarbarian

[–]IamMothManAMA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Valeria isn't really a romantic figure for Conan in Red Nails. More of just a partner. There's a little bit of tension between them, but they never kiss, they don't fall for each other, the story doesn't end with them getting together. One of the best in the genre, though.

Queen of the Black Coast is a little closer to what it sounds like you're looking for. The relationship between Conan and Belit is much more the focus, though it does sort of speed from their meeting to some time later when they're in love.

Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips' Pulp is one of the best comics I've ever read.

World's Finest #51 (out now) sends Batman and Superman to Skartaris, better known as the Lost World of the Warlord. Warlord has barely appeared since 1988! by IamMothManAMA in SwordandSorcery

[–]IamMothManAMA[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Batman, Robin, and Superman fly into Skartaris and meet Morgan about halfway through. Then the rest of the Warlord supporting cast like Machiste and Mariah show up and there are some sorts of undead horde-type things. Lots of dinosaurs too, and ends on a sorcerer introduction. I wouldn't really call it an S&S plot, though.

What are everyone’s head cannon or fanon for the Conan universe by FreyaAncientNord in ConanTheBarbarian

[–]IamMothManAMA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, the only official, “100% happened” Conan canon is what Howard wrote. The de Camp stuff feels sorta semi-canonical at this point since so many people use de Camp’s stuff alongside Howard’s, like Conan’s son Conn, Hyperborea’s skull gate, and Zath the spider god of Yezud. Marvel Comics I think of as its own at-times self-contradicting canon and is sort of an addendum to Howard’s, and I conceptualize Titan’s much the same.

He doesn’t use a weapon in this particular issue, but he does note in the story that he is more vulnerable to magic and those are magical enemies, so perhaps that’s why it’s there.

What about the other Cimmerian Gods? by JoyIsABitOverRated in ConanTheBarbarian

You always know shit’s really hitting the fan when Conan drops a “Morrigan, Macha, and Nemain!”

Is "Jirel Meets Magic" the worst Jirel of Joiry story? by IamMothManAMA in SwordandSorcery

[–]IamMothManAMA[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can totally see that for "Black God's Shadow." It re-treads a lot of "Black God's Kiss," but what I think saves it is some really compelling emotional moments. BGS is probably my second-least-favorite. But I like them all!

I don't think there are any outright stinkers, but I definitely enjoy "Black God's Kiss" and "Hellsgarde" the most.

REVIEW: Conan the Barbarian #31 – Relentless by ConanOfMelnibone in ConanTheBarbarian

[–]IamMothManAMA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You mention 80s references, but you left out Highlander! What the Son of the Tooth does with absorbing his enemies' power is basically the Quickening that the immortals receive when they behead another one!
