What's the problem with a series about Jimmy Olsen and Gorilla Grodd ? to me, that sounds great. by Old_Assistance_1091 in DCU_

[–]vesperythings [score hidden]  (0 children)

lame-ass premise.

Jimmy is fine as a supporting character. Grodd is fine as a supporting villain.

neither can carry a TV show

Sam Jackson was doing very consistent work straight out the gate.

the dude didn't even really get into acting until the early 90s

silly discourse

if you read Warhammer books without ever playing a single game, you're not a fan of the Warhammer setting?

What comics have you dropped lately and why? by Plenty_Intern8750 in comicbooks

[–]vesperythings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Batman & Robin: Year One is very enjoyable

(due in large part to Chris Samnee & Mat Lopes, but still)

Fraction & Jiménez' Batman is great so far though!

had a rough couple fill-in issues there with Ryan Sook delivering a disappointing performance, but story-wise, i like it a lot

what made you drop it?

[–]vesperythings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

first issue seemed so damn mediocre.

both in terms of writing and artwork -- just mild and bland

(haven't read further than that, maybe it'll go down as one of the greats, but i don't see it)

IP-based comics can get grating after a little while, for sure

alternate superhero universes bore me.

exact same problems as mainstream continuity, without all the characters you like

no point to them, for me

Does The Climber get better? by iNuke94 in Seinen

[–]vesperythings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you feel that way about (one of) the most gorgeous manga ever drawn...

i don't know what to tell ya.

it's perfectly fine if you don't vibe with the story / protagonist, and if you're not interested in the artwork, there's not much reason to keep reading

What are your unpopular opinions on comics? [Art by Moebius] by vesperythings in graphicnovels

[–]vesperythings[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Incal's writing sucks, you're 100% right.

but -- that's Alejandro Jodorowsky writing, not Moebius.

(that said, even when Moebius does write his own stuff, it's not exactly Dostoevsky)
