Neat
Thanks for the bump, user
No problem, recently i've been thinking about getting back into reading anthologies but for some reason my mind hadn't gone to Heavy Metal.
It's always just kind of been "there", but it's comforting in that way too
I love that cover.
HM always has the best covers
Probably an odd question, but for anyone who's read from past to present:
My father was a Heavy Metal oldfag, collected from 1981 to the mid 90s. When he picked up some relatively modern issues (circa '07 or '08), he felt that the direction had shifted towards stories that had "tits and dicks and blood and violence" but which weren't as interesting as the old stories.
Did his complaints have any merit or were his nostalgia goggles on too tight?
Idk user, we did just have an entire issue centered around sex
End
As a fellow HM collector yeah your Dad is right. Some people dismiss the entirety of the Kevin Eastman's run, but I still find a lot of good stuff in the 90's issues. Richard Corben left HM for almost 20 years in 1999 and that's about the time I feel like the over all quality was dropping, not just because of Corben, but just looking at what was actually in the magazine
Also the covers got really bad, like some Zenescope level shit. By the 80's pretty much every cover was a sexy woman in some fantasy/scifi setting, but by the mid 2000's they were just half assing them
What
Do these still get print or only digital distribution?
I liked the love special that had a sexy bunny on the cover.
I don't know why, but I just feel infatuated with this kind of imagery.
Imagine.
Thanks for sharing OP this is pretty cool stuff.
Is Morrison still working as the editor?
goddamnit
it's exactly like those terrible dust youtube movies - the only interesting idea that belongs to it is left for "what's next"
there is no story there is only a lead in
piss off heavy metal
i remember you for being better than you; i was wrong
Thx OP
Corben? Fuck yes.
Goddamn, that's a nice illustration.

God why does this feel like a relationship with a terrible wife?
Heavy Metal without a booty-heavy Bisley babe on the front page just ain't Heavy Metal. Have a bump, though.
You serious?
>that 4th panel
jesus fuck, why does it all look like ass?
So, no more Grant Morrison?
