J Scott Campbell's pencils are fun as fuck and then Gary Frank does fun stuff

I've spaced the last few storytimes and only participated in comments but this would be good and I'm all in
James Ward
Didn't the movie/cartoon have caitlin's boobs?
Leo Watson
Uhhh, we're going to read some and decide what we feel like because that's a lot of Gen13

Hello, Storyteller.
So today, I learned that Foreskin Man exists. And now I want to set myself on fire :D
How was your day?

Hey OP.
I cracked my tablet. Boourns.
Also, just finished reading the first trade of Strangers in Paradise and hoo doggy is that a book that the internet would hate. (I enjoyed it though.)
David Howard
What happened to our Bludhaven of Pain Storytime?

Sebastian Morris
I can get it uploaded for ya OP.

That's excellent news!
Wow, this dude isn't creepy or suspicious at all. The janky art doesn't help.
Julian James
Those kids have some big damn heads.
Kayden Scott

Christopher Cox

i want to cry,bros
Brody Rogers
drawing children is harrrrrd
Jose Watson
damn, doesn't skip leg day
Nathan Rogers
I ended up hating that series by the time it finished. If you finish it, please update the thread with your thoughts, because Moore does some things near the end that got quite unpopular.
And the SiP 25 miniseries this year was rough too.
Isaac Watson
and if you had incest on the bingo, check off a square
Jonathan Flores
All of 'em are uploading as we speak.
Including the 1/5 issue that takes place right after the intro mini
Jaxon Cox
And here we go...

The opening mini is included and the only one labelled by year
Asher Young

she's not the sharpest tool in the shed, is she
Adrian Kelly
Meh. The 90s had some good stuff, but it was buried under a massive pile of trash.
Ivana seems like the kind of gal who wants to make you an offer you can't refuse.
Nolan Price

so what was good today?

Green Lantern was pretty damn neat haha,
And DCeased has Taylor's most "ISN'T THIS WITTY" writing since "trickle down"

Beasts of Burden, Gogor, and hey, new Age of Bronze. Neat week all in all.
Aaron Clark
>4.0 grade average
>doesn't notice there's bullshit afoot
High in INT, low in WIS.
Green Lantern was solid.
Young Justice remains decent. Steph is so damn cute, my gosh.
Year of the Villain was, surprising no one, pretty shit. Nothing happened. This is why comics are dying.
Ryder Stewart
Camden Lewis
>This is why comics are dying.
>saying this when War of the Realms is crushing it and Age of X is rocking
Bentley Phillips
Yes they will
Can't lose hope, brada
Owen Hill
lies, no one ever finds anything that fast on a DOS system
William Murphy
(they come there to fuck)
Joseph Jackson
Gen13 is the only franchise that I'd want to really write for
Jonathan Baker
Replying again, is the first trade the first three issues, or does it contain more? The second chunk of issues (twelve I think) is more like what the rest of the series was like.
And the internet would love parts of it, especially Moore's thoughts on Hillary Clinton.
Jaxson Ross
Jayden Gray
Blake Allen
blatant lies
Juan Hughes
this gave a whole generation this kink, I am sure of it
Charles Rogers
Ah yes, the classical proportional ideal of 10 heads tall.
Lucas Bennett
Thanks for sharing my favorite comic with the world OP
Ayden White
The animated movie somehow had the boldness to show more.
Angel Sullivan
Dylan Martinez
This art is just... bad. It reminds me of when Gonzo stretches their budget too far.
Nathaniel Nelson
ahahaha WOW
I try to bring joy to the owls of Yea Forums
William Nelson
If I post slow I had a bad night and am kinda hurting, but I'm here
Andrew Davis
Huh. I guess I missed it.
Isaac Roberts
desu it's been a strange-feeling week
Landon Smith
Hope you feel better soon OP
Thomas Myers
Joseph Gonzalez
I just gotta 1) stretch 2) get some proper sleep which did not happen
Luis Morris
I have doubts I will. I lucked into a 20 year old printing of the first three issue trade you mention below at a localish comic shop.
But Katchoo being such a militant lesbian feminist woulda definitely triggered some goobers.
Adam Phillips
Every time I look at these early issues it amazes me how much Campbell improved in such a short amount of time. He only drew like 20-30 issues but by the end of his run he is already superstar artist Campbell.
Evan Nelson
I did get all my mechanicing done, at least
Juan Powell
Nolan Watson
>German
Caitlyn, you're in a fiction story post 1939. This should raise red flags.
Jose Ortiz
fite me
Kayden Edwards
Leo Nguyen
I remember jerking off to this comic so much when I was a kid.
Alexander James
Even if you like J. Scott Campbell you can't possibly believe this early art of his is any good
Daniel Moore
Thomas Bell
Practice makes perfect, eh? Damn.
Bentley Ortiz
thank you for sharing

Fite me.
Joseph Wood
imagine that, an appropriately ironic nickname
Blake Sanchez
The Sonic movie looks like hot wet trash. If they wanted realism, why not make him a realistic looking hedgehog? Would've been better than that weird accidental parody of Sonic.
Don't cut yourself on that edge, pal.
Thomas Cruz
Moore does some things with that starting in the next chunk of issues that does not endear the feminist characters.
By the end of the series literally every other militant feminist character is part of an evil giant feminist mob that uses their girls to infiltrate and dictate international policy for their mob intentions. Clinton is one of them
Jason Nguyen
It looks more boring than anything else to me.
Like...oh, hey, he's on the run from the military,
How exciting.
Daniel Cox
it looks fun
Jace Lewis
Pffft.
That sounds self indulgent and wackadoo.
Xavier Gray
Xavier Jenkins
Jaxon Morris
Nathan Green
>internet would hate.
It's the second most redpilled comic in existence. Every woman is terrible in it, and a secret cabal of lesbians run the world, castrating and killing all the men who oppose them.
Xavier Walker
ahhh, 90s goes at diversity casting
Jayden Collins
It does straight up look like a nothing movie. Looks cheap, feels cynical as fuck, and it's yet another "character goes to the real world" movie. Does Hollywood not understand that nobody likes that idea, at all?
... And is it just law now that every speedster character be electrical? They gave Sonic the fucking Flash lightning for no reason.
Isaiah Murphy
Aaron Thomas
Somehow Quicksilver managed to evade that.
But yeah it's pretty egregious now.
Cooper Young
Jayden Parker

is it more consistent than all black dudes having zap powers?

this is a good looking page

Not quite there
But aiming for it though
The letters pages about it are a sight to behold
Jason Green
Evan Anderson
James Carter
Not quite as common, but yes, getting there at this point.
>I never asked for this.
Speaking of cliches...
Like, we all get the symbolism, but it stops being cool when damn near everyone does it.
Dominic Price
Not sure I'd read the Benes issues but I'd be tempted to look at the pictures. I do like the first 44 and the stuff Warren wrote at the end as well as Bootleg and the minis.
Jaxson Richardson
exposition man~
Dominic Collins
To be fair Campbell didn't really hit his stride until the ongoing started.
Anthony Perry
Josiah Perez
that was fairly hardcore
Isaac Scott
1) quality rapeface
2) bitches in catsuits
Daniel Sullivan
Xavier Price
>second panel
All according to keikaku.
Grunge, pick one.
By the way, I understand this series has fans, and I don't mean to insult it. Just a lighthearted riffing. Honestly, the comic is fine so far plotwise, though the art does suck.
Ryder Price
Levi Lee
Ethan James
Lucas Price
All the minis are randomly hella fun
Gabriel Gonzalez
she gotta gun!!!
Isaiah Gomez
this is, in fact, entertainingly stupid so far
Jackson Carter
Kevin Ramirez
Wow. Reading up on the series on wikipedia, I'm starting to think the word of mouth about the series I remember from the 90s left out some important details.
>Sonic
>trash
I mean, sounds like they are staying true to the character then...
William Butler
A 90s gun at that!
>extra magazine duct taped to loaded magazine
And this is why 90s heroes have pouches, to avoid stupid shit like this.
Lincoln Bailey
Even the Flash lightning used to just be a visual effect from the yellow bits on the costume.
Luis Fisher
thanks for reading, we should be back either late-late show Saturday or just plain Monday
Bentley King
Grunge, maybe you'd be less cold if you PUT ON A SHIRT.
Jack Taylor
Thanks OP!
Jaxon Butler
The worst part is when the lightning isn't even drawn, just added digitally by the colorist. So ugly.
Nathan Lewis
Thanks for posting as always, Storyteller.
Gen13 seems alright so far. Silly, certainly, but at least it clearly has distinct characters and an actual plot. Puts it far above most 90s books.
Do feel better. Highly recommend you read this month's Green Lantern if you haven't. You'll probably get a good laugh out of it.
Eli Myers
People were either split between
>wanting slice-of-life stories about the girls and David
>wanting more of the lesbian cabal and their sex slaves, and all the spy/politics in it.
Moore had been doing little flash forwards throughout the series, but they were all leading to something that some fans didn't like. So he literally wrote issue 50 as a "lol, one character actually has premonitions of a dead timeline and we won't be going there."
Then he did anyways at the end.
Anthony Ramirez
I wish I had this as a poster
Alexander Peterson
How did the little girl not get shot.
Alexander Baker
>Reading up on the series on wikipedia,
Yeah. Slice of life comedy aboutba love triangle into
>alternates with the mystery and intrigue regarding Katchoo's past as an underage lesbian hooker and the Parker Crime Syndicate
Kevin James
>exposition man, tell us what you can
>try as you might you won't live whoa
Ryan Johnson
God damn, that fishnet stitched catsuit is over the top.
Jack Cook
Shit, Freefall has a gun too!
Jungle Style has been a real thing for decades, and what is the 90s if not Tacticool nonsense?
Wyatt Flores
I miss a whole Storytime bc of hectic work goddammit
Christian Green
thanks user.
John Bailey
wow, calm down user that is too much Gen13 for a single person.
Adrian Perez
I reread it and loved it.
Haven't read the revival mini yet, save for the free comic book day issue. IIRC it was more or less generic spy/crime thriller and not identity politics shit.
Julian Scott
Volume 1 was 1-3 issues
Volume 2 was 14 issues, but the 14th issue was the infamous "Molly and Poo" special which was reprinted in V3 and collected there in TPB.
Volume 3 was 90 issues long and the first 5 issues were in color (only the Image parody scene however, is presented in color in the TPBs).
Adrian Reed
Katchoo mellows out once she realizes that Francine is legit scared of her when she goes mental and finally leaves her when she convinces Francine to leave her husband and then promptly fucks her ex-boyfriend's trophy ex-wife; causing her to reconcile with her husband.
Aiden Hughes
Not exactly true.
V3 #1-42/43 IIRC, was supposed to lead to a "bad future" that was seen in multiple flash forwards, that Katchoo and Francine would break up and not see each other for 12-15 years and that David died during that period.
Then 9-11 happened.
Moore got cold fucking feet because of 9-11 and wiped out the flash forward as being part of a novel that Francine and Katchoo's kid wrote (complete with meta commentary about how repetitive the story was in terms of the constant breaking up and reuniting just to break up again) and then made that ending a fake-out dream.
David's death was dropped as a plot point but Katchoo/Francine split again and stay apart until the end of the book, which was way shorter than the flash forward had it be. David's terminal illness was then brought back and he was killed off.
Thomas Ward
Lets see they fly me to a area 51 looking place, my care taker is some Rusian lady and they gave me a weird uniform,
Yeah something is definitely amiss.
Ian Turner
could be fun
Oliver Torres
Maybe he knew how to draw, but because Liefeld artstyle was popular at the time, he had trying to imitate him?
Logan Brown
That's not exactly true
SiP operates under the idea that the Mafia/5 Families are an Illuminati-style evil cabal that caused the Great Depression of 1929 and basically has been secretly running the United States ever since.
One of the "junior" branches of the Illuminati-Mafia is a blackmail/extortion ring run by the daughter of a major Yakuza crime boss. This branch is the "Parker Girls" and basically run by Darcy Parker. Darcy is a full-on degenerate: lesbian who fucks underage girls and will only have sex with her brother (David), who eventually becomes a born again Christian due to his sister's depravity/sexual advances.
Darcy employs women called "DUCKS"; deep cover honey pot spies who seduce men and women and become their spouses and wives, to allow them to spy/control the actions of the rich and powerful. Hillary Clinton is one of Darcy's "ducks", who was sent to seduce Bill early on in order to turn him into a Mafia stooly doing as they order him to do. Another is Darcy's much abused/neglected Asian/American cousin Veronica, who basically drives Darcy around when she's not seducing a JFK Jr Stand-In.
Darcy's pretty wreckless and acquires a huge amount of power for the Illuminati-Mafia and even given provisional big boy status in the "Big Six" (a play on the "Five Families" organization of New York Mafia). But Darcy's standing is very much fragile and the Senate is running a huge mafia investigation in Congress that the Big Six wants shut down. So shit happens and Katchoo (who as an underage runaway was pimped out to Darcy, before becoming her girlfriend and advisor) is forced to work for Darcy to seduce said Senator running the investigation, so he doesn't find out about the DUCKS and the DUCK fucking not JFK Jr.
Oliver Martinez
Sadly, Darcy had her cousin leave JFK Jr to start fucking one of Francine's exs and had her run a company that hired Francine, so Darcy could spy on Katchoo. She dumps the ex in violent fashion when she is ordered to go back to JFK Jr and when he sees her on the arms of him in public, narcs her out to the FBI. Meanwhile, Katchoo finds a reporter covering the Big Six and gives him the full details. The Big Six then orders Darcy's bodyguard Tambi (who is a spy for the Illuminati Mafia) to kill Darcy so that the investigation dies with her.
Isaiah Cruz
Months later, Veronica gets out of prison due to her mob connections and decides to restart the Parker Girls. She tries to kill Katchoo and David, since Darcy's will included membership in the Illuminati Mafia and Katchoo inheriting it if David couldn't accept it. Veronica and Katchoo/Tambi form rival companies (Veronica continuing to use the DUCKS, Katchoo/Tambi taking over big tech companies in their infancy) with it ultimately revealed that Katchoo is Tambi's half sister. Their dad was a Chicago mafia hitman that ended up pissing off Sal, the leader of the Illuminati Mafia and was killed. Tambi vowed revenge and has been planning to destroy the Illuminati Mafia and manipulated Darcy and Katchoo to do it.
They end up pulling a corporate takeover bankrupting Sal and taking over the Illuminai, with the rest of the Big Six caving to them. Tambi kills Veronica and the DUCKS are left on their own, as conspiracy theory. However, the US government freezes all of Darcy's criminal assets, and ultimately bust Katchoo when Sal ends up dead at the hands of a mystery assassin.
The mystery assassin is a DUCK who was paired off with a cocaine smuggler in Florida that was outed and left to die in a burning building with her asshole husband by Tambi. She survived and basically started killing DUCKS and everyone involved in the Parker Girls operation. She tries to seduce Katchoo as part of her killing spree but gets killed by a sniper friend of Tambi who was BFFs with Casey, Freddy Femure's ex-wife who herself was a generic bimbo accountant with the Illuminati Mafia that Tambi sent to spy on Katcho and Francine that she could trust to report solely to her. Casey knew she was a DUCK and had her murdered to protect Katchoo.
At the end of the series, Tambi offers to use what's left of the Big Six under her and Katchoo's ownership to kill terrorists overseas because America Fuck Yeah. Freddy gets Darcy's estate unfrozen and the money given to Katcho and Francine.

Did you miss an issues user? or did the book had some weird timejump?
