Deep thoughts with Ryan Higgins
King's Batman is the greatest, you guys just don't like to think
Benjamin Cox
Levi Cook
He's right about how much of a non-EVENT Heroes in Crisis is. It's 8 issues of talking about feelings
Eli Allen
It’s barely even that, it’s a guy having a psychotic break and he goes to jail.
Mason Collins
After murdering everyone...
Brody Ortiz
He's right
Brody Russell
>#50 being an incredible issue
Angel Wright
Shut up Ryan. Even Bryce is less annoying despite his shrill voice.
Nicholas Jenkins
This guy has probably never read another Batman book except for Snyder's, why are we giving him the light of day?
Jace Campbell
He's an Eisner nominated retailer and his tweets often land in comic-related articles on various media websites (be it the beat, bleeding cool, cbr and whatnot)
he's one of the most twitter-connected retailers, for better or worse.
Nathan Watson
Okay.
King's run on Batman is still incredibly boring. Just because other people have bad taste doesn't mean I need to be subjected to this decompressed garbage.
Joseph Campbell
>Eisner nominated retailer
How does a store receive an Eisner?
Carson Morales
even if you like the "twist" of #50, it's still a shitty issue that's mostly just narration over a collection of pin-ups.
Aaron Lopez
like everyone else does, by paying for one

Reminds me of being a freshman in college and having someone angry insist that this nonsense by John Cage was "art":
>On August 29, 1952, at a rustic outdoor chamber music hall tucked on a wooded dirt road in Woodstock, New York, the piano virtuoso David Tudor prepared to perform the most jarring piece of music ever written. Or not written, depending how you look at it.
>Tudor sat at the piano, propped up six pages of blank sheet music, and closed the keyboard lid. He then clicked a stopwatch and rested his hands on his lap. The audience waited for something to happen as a breeze stirred the nearby trees. After 30 seconds of stillness, Tudor opened the lid, paused, closed it again, and went back to doing nothing. He turned one of the blank pages. Raindrops began to patter. After two minutes and 23 seconds, Tudor again opened and closed the lid. At this point, exasperated people in the crowd walked out. Their footsteps echoed down the aisles. After another minute and 40 seconds, Tudor opened the piano lid one last time, stood up, and bowed. What was left of the audience politely applauded.
Because, clearly, when you invite people to hear a work of music and then you sit there and don't play anything that's not just being sophomorically contrarian, it's just 3Deep5U!
Or, just possibly, the Emperor is naked.

Jesus fuck. I honestly didn't think I could have *less* respect for the Eisners than I already did ...
Nathan Lopez
trolling is a art
Elijah Fisher
fucking white people. eretrds

Comparing King's Batman to Cage's 4'33" is probaly the best analogy I've seen -- it works whether you think he sucks or he's great.
Christian James
>trolling is a art
Luis Torres
But 4'33'' technically IS a vanguardistic art. John Cage was (from what we know) the first person to do something like it.
King's Batman is a mishmash of ideas from Morrison's run, Knightfall and Hush with a sprinkle of King's own internal dramas.
Adrian Stewart
I think he's talking about how self-contained it is.
But Yea Forums is too stupid to acknowledge that.
Christian Davis
Next, you're gonna tell me that Yves Klein's monochromatic work takes talent.
It's just being pretentious shit.
Nolan Howard
>a vanguardistic art. John Cage was (from what we know) the first person to do something like it.
No, Empror's New Clothes Tier bullshit had been pretty firmly established in Modernism for some time, senpai:

Roy being dead was a plot point in Green Arrow.
Dominic James
And because of crap like this is that we got Interior Semiotics in the 10s
Lincoln Hernandez
Compare to other events, that's very self contained. Did Roy's death derail anything in Green arrow?
Legitimate question because I wasn't paying attention to Percy's GA.
Landon Myers
by that time, percy was already off the book.
Bentley Allen
>Did Roy's death derail anything in Green arrow?
It was literally the end of an arc: they were fighting a massively overpowered reality warping super villain and when he found out Roy was dead he just quit and gave up.
Mason Cruz
Who took up writing duties after Percy?
Robert White
Vertigo's powers don't work like that -- it was more like he made people believe reality was being warped.
And Vertigo had a hateboner for Roy since he was the last one to beat him up.
Aaron Price
>Compare to other events
I'll grant you it's not CoIE tier, but I have to question how much of that is due to the cluster fuck of Doomsday Clock's ever increasing lateness? Things like The Button were supposed to be going someplace and they actually delayed HiC a week so it would come out the same day as the latest issue of Doomsday ( although I haven't been reading the latter so I have no idea what, if any, impact that would have had ).
Ayden Myers
The Roy Funeral issue was done by the Benson sisters
The fight between Ollie and Vertigo was by Lanzing and Kelly, whoever they are.
Grayson Cruz
Probably that scene with Wally popping out of nowhere to yell at Manhattan
