You were right, this is nothing like the movie. Thanks for posting.

Looking forward to Supergod, a Friend of mine bought it Years ago, and gave it to me.
...I left it on a Train before reading the first Chapter. ;_;
No.4854
>>4833That's propably the edgiest comic I've ever read. Kinda funny that it has almost nothing to do with the movie. Why adapt a comic and then make it completely differnt?
Well either way, thanks for posting.
No.4936
...and that was it.
So, what can I say?
Supergod is about as pretentious as Wanted is edgy.
It has some things I like, like the 6 Billion Dollar Man, the 4th wall breaking un-sanity creature and underlying casual racism.
What I don't like is that utterly british style of telling the story, though it might just be intentional because the narrator is some uptighty bong. I don't know.
I also didn't like how all those ideas were just tangentially touched on, but never actually used beyond some rule of cool spectacle shit. It feels like the author had gone on a Wikipedia binge and just put everything in there that sounded cool, like quantum tunneling and global mycelium and interface to god and whatnot.
Having someone more talented who can actually pursue a thought deeper than the surface write an actual book about this, like, say, Asimov, could have been really great.
And the artstyle is something I didn't really enjoy. Way too stiff and inexpressive for depicting the happenings here. Someone like Alex Ross who could have properly shown the statuesqueness as well as crazy deformations, or Tradd Moore with his excellent kinetic feel would have been suited way better for this story.
Oh well.
I hope you enjoyed it, I'll see what other fun trash I can dig up.

>>4936I liked that a lot more than wanted. I guess it would have been the other way around in my younger years maybe.
>What I don't like is that utterly british style of telling the storyCan you elaborate on that? What makes it so british? Since Ellis is a brit and the protagonist is british too it kinda makes sense?
>I also didn't like how all those ideas were just tangentially touched onI had the same thought reading it but maybe it was just Ellis having fun with some topics he read about on a Wikipedia binge that sounded cool and I can't be mad about a guy just having some fun. I would read some Spinoffs for sure tho.
>And the artstyle is something I didn't really enjoy. Way too stiff and inexpressive for depicting the happenings here.I kinda agree on that one. I mean it could be that that was intentional too. It does fit the stoic retelling of the horrible things happening imo but it could have been better.
All in all it I gotta say I really enjoyed it. Loved the creative writing and it had some really fun ideas and even a Cthulhu close to the end :D
Only other thing I read from Ellis was, of course, Transmetropolitain. I actually re-read it about 2-3 years ago and still really liked it. Maybe read some issues of Planetary and since I read a bunch of Hellblazer, I guess I also maybe read his run. Can't remember. I also really liked the animated Castlevania series he wrote.
Thanks a bunch for sharing!

The art style really brings down them "serious" American comics tbh

>>4999Ugh, no DAD, these are "graphic novels", it's a very different medium within sequential visual storytelling with much more mature themes for mature readers like me, demanding way higher intellectual investment than "comics".

Neat, thanks guys. Not sure if I will actually read through MILF Magnet, but Wanted and Supergod look fun.
I'll look through my comic books collection and see if there is something worth giving back.

I read Wanted slowly during the last week at wörk and now I wish the movie adaptation would have been done by Uwe Boll.
No.5097
>>5088Nice, it certainly would have been a much more faithful adaptation.
Although I think he wouldn't have quite been able to hit the same tone.
For that someone like David Ayer would have been better suited, he has the necessary smugness and lack of self-awareness.

No.5156
Wow, what a ride.
Also, what was it with "Palmer", of course it's Conner. Probably conflated her with Palmiotti because those two are always together.
But this was fun, like a proto-Boys (hardly surprising since it's Ennis), but still having a strong "Hitman" vibe, which made it way more fun than The Boys.
That said, I just remember that I have some Hitman issues somewhere; provided you don't also have them, I could post something.

>>5133Ernst hivemind in full effect. After finishing
Supergod and
M.I.L.F. Magnet, my mind immediately turned to this, which is in my backlog of books to read.
My primary critique of
Supergod has already been mentioned: broad ideas are touched upon but not explored deeply.
M.I.L.F Magnet was exactly what I expected from the title.

I think millar might just genuinely be a dumb guy
I used to think that the unfunnies and nemesis were weird outliers, but it seems that his general output is mediocre crap, with some forays into absolute so bad it's still bad trash.
Maybe I should dump the unfunnies.

>>19629Shame, I thought I had it, but I can't find it anymore.
I think it was basically a female cenobite taking his lips, putting them on another man and making out with him while lipless would have to watch or something like that.
I liked that story because it's not about actual physical torment with hooks and chains and getting ripped apart, but pure psychological terror.
