At times like this I turn to my trusty trade paperback/back issue collection to cheer me up. It rarely disappoints.
The beauty of Doom Patrol is that in context this panel makes both more and less sense than it does on its own.

I'll always have DC...
Even though I'm sure it will be undone, seeing the lengths Marvel will go to to get attention depresses me. They've stooped low enough I don't really care what happens in the Marvel Universe anymore. Considering that I'm still a loyal DC reader after Infinite Crisis, that's quite a feat.

Best. Fill-in issue. Ever.
ReplyDeleteInfinite Crisis doesn't even come close to how bad Civil War has been. I think, in terms of 'spitting on their readers', it's more comparable to Zero Hour.
ReplyDeleteThis is just delicious. At first I thought he was being attacked by hamsters, but beards are even better!
ReplyDeleteSee, this is better than death, rape and dismemberment any day!
Why didn't Beard Hunter ever fight bearded Aquaman? Someone needs to cover that in JLA:C
ReplyDeleteI'm sure my "Captain America versus Ilsa the She-Wolf of the SS" will be just the project to revitalize the readers' confidence in the Marvel Universe. Are you out there, Joe Quesada?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I've been picking up the long-awaited trades for Morrison's "Doom Patrol" and it remains my favorite work in the medium. I still get tears - and a feeling of extreme satisfaction - whenever I re-read the finale.
For me, my 'at least I'll always have' is the Ultimate universe. The worst crap that happens there is late issues and when they show they tend to be good. I think that it helps that the line is small enough that the creators can all smack each other upside the head over the really bad ideas.
ReplyDeleteDid he ever catch Nicole Kidman?
ReplyDeleteFlidget's right; Zero Hour trashed one character, but Civil War trashed the whole Marvel universe. It's not even Cap that got the worst of it; despite being written completely out of character by Mark Millar, then made to give up, bashed by a bitchy reporter, humiliated, and shot to death, he's at least safely back in the hands of Ed Brubaker now.
ReplyDeleteIt's the fact that they turned half the rest of the MU into supervillians and then editorially decreed that the _supervillians were right_ that makes it worse.
