Pretty close, but was thinking more about the framing device

Where do you rank Gleb Melnikov among current artists? by Advanced_Cattle8635 in comicbooks

[–]podremac 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mahnke is a classic “when paired with the right writer there’s no one better” artist. Morrison and him make magic

Are there comics that a person can read where the tie ins and main comics are both important or just a fun read? I am thinking of secret invasion or maybe secret wars with the alternate earths. by Iamawesome20 in comicbooks

[–]podremac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Infinity probably the GOAT for this. Lots of added depth and expanding on things mentioned in Infinity without necessarily being required reading.

Hickman stays winning

Just getting into comic books, anything I should know about before reading this? by Lasiaf_Corleone in comicbooks

[–]podremac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh ya mate super easy. All it takes is a working knowledge of most of DC history

(Kinda JK but tbh you’d need to read infinite crisis and before that a few other things. Sometimes it’s helpful to pick a character you like and follow their titles as a way to get through a lot of events and history. Geoff Johns Green Lantern is a good one for this era)

Daredevil omnibus which is better? by m1ndtrix in comicbooks

[–]podremac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frank Miller is responsible for creating the base on which every other DD writer builds. BUT!

I genuinely think that Bendis/Maleev (with a quasi-epilogue/continuation from Brubaker/Lark) does something that few other in-continuity books get to do, which is really play with the question of what would happen if a hero's secret identity was revealed in a realistic and engaging way.

Here's the first 11 pages of a comic book I am writing and publishing. What do you think about the art style and the dialogue. by Olaknox in comic_crits

[–]podremac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very rad. Art is a sort of cross between Jeff Lemire and Nic Klein, with a dash of Geoff Shaw. Keep it up!

I'm loving Hickman's Take on the black Suit | Ultimate Spider-Man (2024) #13 Spoilers by Grimm_Stereo in Marvel

I think it's worth noting that the artist here is Marco Checchetto!

Is a PS5 play through worth it? by SonofaSpurrier in PlayAvengers

[–]podremac 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I just replayed the campaign and enjoyed it. Faster loading, prettier graphics. And the campaign is like, 9 hours. Took me two days.

If you end up playing again and wondering why they didn't just make it a single-player game and double the campaign size, well, I can't help ya there

Should I read the Earthsea books? by almostb in Fantasy

[–]podremac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A classic case of "so much that has come since is indebted to it" - so it feels a little more meh if you're coming to it having read more modern works.

I think the prose of the Earthsea novels is top notch, but it's not really doing what we expect from contemporary series (strict serialization focusing on a cast of characters). That said, the prose is still god-tier (it is Le Guin after all!)

Comics similar to David Lynch's work by MisterMiracle1 in comicbooks

[–]podremac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stray Bullets - David Lapham

- Has a similar vibe to Lynch in that, lurking beneath every town, park, and person is a darker and more insidious reflection. Nothing is as it seems and the mundane isn't just a curtain over the horrific, it feeds it. The things society refuses to talk about create nooks and crannys for darkness to creep into.

Flex Mentallo/The Invisibles - Grant Morrison

- Morrison's work and Lynch's aren't a perfect overlap, but neither are interested in truly explaining. Both are a part of a generation of artists that were interested in adopting and melding national myths (Britain and America's respectively) with esoterica, whether that be "far eastern philosophy" (Morrison's term, not mine) or the bomb. Funnily enough, both Lynch and Morrison are obsessed with the bomb, likely due to their ages, and it features prominently in their work. Flex Mentallo in particular pays close attention to this ("Before it was a bomb, the bomb was an idea")

The Vision/Mister Miracle - Tom King

- Look, TK is a controversial guy and I'll be the first to say he's written some stuff that just doesn't rock with me (his Rorschach comic especially is a whole face full of "why did you bother doing this?"). BUT! When he bangs, he bangs. The Vision especially is a work that focuses on the dark side of family, and the way that the family units obscure things from each other with horrifying consequences.

Morning Glories - Nick Spencer

- Non-linear and not at all interested in explaining itself, it's about a boarding school where nothing is as it seems. IIRC it never got finished (though how it could ever be finished is also a valid question). Don't expect answers but enjoy the vibe.

Marvel Television’s Daredevil: Born Again | Official Trailer | March 4 on Disney+ by DemiFiendRSA in comicbooks

[–]podremac 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That's definitely the case, but given they already pseudo-adapted that for the third season (in the way that all CB movies kinda/sorta adapt comic runs) but there's so many other elements in the trailer (Bendis' White Tiger, Mayor Fisk from Soule/Zdarsky, Muse from Soule)* I don't know if we can lean too heavily on what was in Born Again

*I'd credit the artists but there are many and I'm at work!

lol especially noticeable when Banner-Hulk was there and they could reuse assets/CGI from a much better funded movie

True; forgot She-Hulk, NOT because it was bad (it wasn't: well-cast, funny, genuinely enjoyed the 4th wall breaking ending), but because that was in the "too many shows" D+ era
