JSA Storytime: Gen13

I have this one too. I purged a lot of this sort of stuff from my collection, but kept all these and Savage Dragon (1-100 or so).

Is that Oswald I spot?

I hear you. I’m all about old comics these days.

Roxy's fine, she's not lusting after the Alphabet Agency minion that's old enough to be her father. Who was, in fact, in a kill squad with her father.
I'm just going to imagine Lynch was the youngest of the group, makes things less fucky.

lean into how wrong it is, it's the only way

don't worry, only three months until Marvel #1000 saves the industry

It's okay for her to have a crush...now if he reciprocates however....

Lynch is the wildstorm universe’s John Byrne.

I don't wanna harp on it till it becomes a meme like Vision/Omega Men, but Immortal Hulk really is just plain good comics that could have come straight out of 80's Marvel in a lot of ways.
It uses past continuity to its advantage while also pushing the characters into new places, it's building a longterm story, arcs last exactly as long as they need to from a monthly perspective rather than stretching out to graphic novel length, and I've felt satisfied with the story of each issue as its own while still getting excited for the next one.

It really reminds me of 80's Spectacular Spider-Man. Goes to dark places with very little pretension. Also at the risk of sounding hyperbolic, it has a little bit of Alan Moore with the author's own literary interests infusing the comic with personality.

Not gonna hype it as some masterpiece, but it's the type of comic I wish there were at least three or four of per publisher per month, the level of quality I think should be the bar being shot for.

Along with Black Cat #1, Marvel will manage to have TWO million sellers!

That's what we used to say about Babs.

Okay, let's actually examine this. How old is Caitlin? If she's legal, then fine, her being interested in someone older is not an issue. If she IS underage, then frankly, the problem is with the writer/artist, who are presenting Caitlin as fanservice bait along with the rest of the cast. Let's not miss the forest for the trees here.

Hi thread! I haven’t read any of this weeks comics but I’m finally caught up with the exceptions of War of Realms and X-men stuff!!

What’s the deal with Black cat 1 is it a comic gate thing?

I'll catch up on that eventually

Aye, for me there's only been one black mark with Immortal Hulk, but overall it's been the exact kind of self-contained and completely committed run I've been wanting in forever.

I’ve looked at it off and on. I think i need to see it in print. Hopefully it lasts long enough to get an omni.

I've tried it, it's not for me
Meet the Skrulls is alright though

Oh shit, the pages are out of order and not all of them have page numbers, ugh.

I see you're back to your old bullshit, cranky. I'm pretty positive at this point you have a legit mental illness.

I can't believe Ewing went from the guy who got all his series canned to outselling fucking Batman.
That says a lot about King too though.

I’m furious bc that I still wanna buy trades to support it but I want the good collections. I hope it’s doing safely, Ewing getting 1000 makes me think it is

does the letterer do the CRASH

I am astounded that Mister Miracle got an amazing looking hardcover and the immensely better (if only still just okay) New 52 Forever People never got collected.

Wildstorm characters initially aged in real time, I saw them as being late high school age (17-18) in 1994 when the series began which would have made them in their mid 20s when the series ended

Marvel's taken the wrong lessons from Image with the idea that five issues is a reasonable size for a trade.
Unfortunately DC's done that a couple times too

iconic

The mr miracle dislike on Yea Forums is the outlier. Gotta accept it

I still don’t know how I feel about that mini

I'm not astounded at all, regardless of actual quality the series was legit popular and even increased sales as it went on, which hasn't happened in the Big Two in like forever

>Forever People will never be fun again
not fair

>outselling fucking Batman
The numbers are slightly fucky. It had a second printing that month, and there was an option for a 1:25 wraparound cover.
One store by me had four people who wanted it, so they had to order 100 copies to get four.
Those people were charged the equivalent of 25 regular copies for it.

Exactly, I might hate the third arc, but I was still gonna do my part.
The cover didn't even "cover" the page cut!
It was just sticking out.
Jesus.

Yeah, but at least Ewing seems to be keeping it episodic in a sense, so that helps.

Yeah, pretty sure Caitlin was shown as being in college at the start.

>she even looks right the fucking camera with a "wah wah" expression
I certainly hope she's of age, because this would be pretty awful otherwise.

... Who am I kidding, this is still cringey as fuck.

Image prices them cheaper and they're usually on sale too, so it's more understandable, they're basically creating gateway trades for new readers

Sort of, boomer speculators have the usual interest in it because of 1) being a #1 related to Spider-Man, which always sell really well with specs and 2) being J. Scott Campbell who's one of the classic big sellers of variant covers because people like to buy cheesecake, but at the same time some of said speculators are artificially hyping it to increase value, so some loony toon cg-ers picked up on this and are trying to use it as "evidence" that SEE SEX AND ONLY SEX SELLS, THIS PROVES THAT ONLY PERVS BUY COMICS AND SJWS DON'T!!! WE WON GUYS

So just typical industry nonsense nobody who actually reads comics to read comics and not to either posture or make money cares about

On the one hand I'm very glad quality is being recognized, but on the other I know that a huge portion of the sales is the usual vultures knowing this run will become "seminal" and therefore back issues/complete collections will go for big buck$ later on, and Marvel preying upon that with scummy variant shit. The comics food chain continues on.

Vertigo was the one that made that the standard I think, Y the Last Man was the first series I remember like that.

Die has been a good seller and Gillen does well with trades so I guess there's a bit more confidence in that front
Speaking of Pope, I hope THB gets reprinted some day

it shows their core designs/personalities could be translated in almost every style, even so early on

He can't, the title ended 8 years ago. I think DC did some sort of reboot thing, kinda obscure. I think it was on TV once or something.

I think they were doing the whole loss leader thing but it wasn't really profitable for most smaller creators, only Kirkman, Gillen, BKV, Rucka can do it

Y'know, odds are decent that same idiot posts on Yea Forums to this very days bitching about DA SJWs.

It's laughably pathetic, but it's about what I expect considering Marvel staff seem to repeat the company lines as if the executives are sitting nearby with their fingers on the Dr. Evil-style trap door chair buttons.

These are the people who said without a hint of irony that variant covers were going to change the industry.

DC One Million made sense since it was set in a future date in which Action Comics #1,000,000 would come out.
On the other hand, Marvel #1000 makes no sense since it isn't even referring to any specific series or issues, it makes even less sense than the fucky Legacy number and is even more hilarious when you realize it's going to be released as Marvel #1000 #1.

I agree, Gen13, Lolita would be better if Lolita was a stacked amazon who could deadlift a Buick.

how do I make a poster of this and give it to my 12 year old self

I'll give you that but still, that series changed names with the very next issue, hasn't been published in perpetuity as Action was, and even if it was it still wouldn't be at issue 1,000.

(granted, Action only was because of at times being a weekly and at times double shipping, but still, Action has 1,000 published issues, Marvel Comics has 159, being generous.)

>Action Comics 1000 had exactly ZERO good stories
so who cares

If you want to go the legacy numbering route then Marvel Mystery Comics is retitled Marvel Tales and runs all the way to #159, with Marvel Tales vol 2 that goes up to #450. There is no Marvel Comics vol 2, Marvel Mystery Comics vol 2 or Marvel Tales vol 3, so that's where it stops.

Why does Rainmaker look less bothered by the lusty guy grabbing her than Roxy?

"The Confederate Flag" only exists retroactively as a banner of bitter Southerners angry that they lost the Civil War and 'Carpetbaggers' made them build fountains for Black people instead of hanging them for being thirsty.

Oh, it will be nuts for sure, but since it's canon (I think) I don't feel like it'll be Odyssey levels crazy or even Superman levels either.

Tired. Work is super busy and it is making me tired.

That's a shame, I've given a few series a try out because of that policy. A lot of them were pretty bad, tho.

thanks OP, its very fun

Not as fun as Generation X Underground. But then again, that was all Mahfood.

It's too late for the flag. How could we even try to take back the ok sign? Do we even want to? To me it's synonymous with Beverly Hills Cop.

Rich posted about it like years ago on Bleeding Cool.

And I mean isn't lesbian porn extremely popular with straight men anyway? Though I guess here the lesbian thing is only like 70% for wank purposes and the rest is actually out of interest in having a diverse cast, which is the part that's simply unacceptable and evil.

>sitting cross legged in a makeshift skirt sitting on a table.

No. Fairchild is for Lynch.

Funnily enough, there are also people who get mad when their wank fuel is NOT gay.

Marvel Comics became Marvel Mysteries or something literally in issue 2, then became Marvel Tales until issue 150 something.
Which possibly explains why out of nowhere Marvel brought back Marvel Tales recently, to help them boost that number a little bit closer to #1000, though no matter what it's still only going to be ~960 something months since Marvel Comics #1.
