Iambaytor Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 That was rather clever. But then some of them were just crazy. Remember Speed Demon? I don't know why they felt the need to combine Ghost Rider, Etrigan, AND The Flash into one being. I also don't know why it sucked so much when they did.

alive she cried Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I have Lobo the Duck... As do I, but I have it in DC's Amalgam TPB, along with Darkclaw and the cross between Jonah Hex and X-Man (I think) that was actually pretty fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jables Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Hex Man? I never heard of that one either. Christ Alive but let Apocalypse have an evil moustache with which he plays as he ties whoever Megan Fox is playing in the movie to railroad tracks.

Thelogan Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 What the fuck was it called? I have to read that just for posterity now. Generation Hex. Chamber was essentially the Jonah Hex character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iambaytor Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Apparently there was another mess of comics that came out after Marvel vs. DC wrapped up, apparently 90s comic fans weren't as tired of mediocrity as they'd originally thought. (Then again in the 90s, mediocre comics were top shelf shit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Now that they've given Nemesis an origin I like him & the book a little more. More than a little curious to see how #3 pans out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 wait, when did #2 come out? i've been looking for that shit. fuhh! *edit* Just read it, and the story has deepened--a bit. As JZA wrote, the titular character was given an interesting backstory, and--I'm not sure how big a stone someone will throw at me for writing this---it almost felt like a Garth Ennis tale. Like Ennis light in a way. Which, isn't a bad thing necessarily. Anyone else get that vibe from this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 So issue #3 finally dropped this week, and, wow. I think Millar is really trying to usurp Ennis' throne as the most fucked up mind in comics. Hero cop's daughter impregnated by her gay brother. That's some twisted shit! The fight sequence w/ the riot cops was also spectacularly gruesome. My guess is Nemesis's disguise is as his philanthropist uncle. Although, I have to say Millar's logic for the hero cop's actions is pretty fucking spotty. There's quite a few holes in how a cop so brilliant can behave so ridiculously idiotic. He really thinks his "henchmen" are not a threat? And he also has an undercover mole in Nemesis' organization, but he doesn't pull him in for de-briefing until after Nemesis escapes prison?!?! That was just fucking retarded. Also looking forward to Kick-Ass 2 and this new series SUPERIOR Millar has coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 ah, was waiting for this one to come up... yeah, i get that this is exploitation-Millar, but this issue went silly. ok, i get it, dude can take out 99 riot guards, even if i only saw a baker's dozen. he planned for everything! even having new camrys for every prisoner (props on setting that up in the parking lot without arising suspicion), but personally, i think i drew the line around the vagina-bomb. so its wired to go off if she has an abortion, but not via delivery? uh, ok...i guess they don't have staircases in millarworld. seriously, going from where we started with the japanese top-cop being hit by an oncoming train and all, i get that this is about being more over-the-top than stallone, but we're reaching a point that if the resolution involves wizards, im not gonna have the right to say "this is where we jumped the shark!" go on & tell me i shouldn't expect more from Millar, but frankly, i was going along for the ride when the pentagon got gassed & then its contents put on facebook; "i kidnapped your kids for a few hours, jerked off your boy, dumped it into the girl, she's already conceiving somehow so yeah VAGINABOMB lol" was just...no, man. no. yeah, totally gonna read the finale, just not expecting to buy the trade at this point. VAGINABOMB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 NZA. . . It wasn't a vaginAbomb, was it? I think the doc said if they abort her womb would collapse and she'd be unable to conceive. Yeah, it's still pretty way beyond far fetched and lame as far as logical impossibilities go yet it's not quite as genius bad as VAGINABOMB! WE ARE VAGINA BOB-BOMB!!! 1--2--3!!!

Jables Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Vag-bomb, vag-bomb You're my vag-bomb and baby you can steal mah kids Throw something in about 99 riot cops but a bitch ain't 1, and it's probably the best review going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 +1 to JZA's review. chris - yeah, it won't divide by zero and cause middle america to implode, it just wrecks her uterus in a way that she'd survive but not have kids, and then he'd be able to leak to the news (assuming dude wasnt dead) "TOP COP DESTROYS INCESTUOUS RETARD-BABY WITH HYPOCRITICAL SMART-VAGINABOMB", which only gets interesting if nemesis runs in a local election against him, somehow, and creates the greatest political ad ever with "WRONG ON RED/BLUE VAG-BOMB WIRES, WRONG FOR AMERICA." my god, somewhere in here is a story that only Warren Ellis can tell. again, still along for the ride to crazy-town, just wondering if my conductor is one of those "Frank Miller has only gotten better with age!!" people.

The NZA Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 you'd think, but the internet has taught me to never, ever say "no one says this" in absolute terms. the quickest offhand comics example i can muster is the forums at newsarama: despite having actual industry writers/artists/editors, last i stopped there (admittedly a year or more back), there was still a sizable community voice of "BENDIS HAS RUINED MARVEL FOREVER." also, you managed to enjoy shyamalan's Avatar, so what the fuck do i know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 So... from what I've read here, Millar has borrowed some of Frank Miller's mercury pills and is pretty much just jacking off on newsprint and laughing like an idiot at this point. Is that about right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Yeah. Basically what I saw Kick Ass as, you all are now seeing this as. I eagerly await your comparisons to Wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Yeah. Basically what I saw Kick Ass as, you all are now seeing this as. I eagerly await your comparisons to Wanted. Since I became the official custodian of RIO COMICS, LLC, I've been reading some actual (as opposed to virtual) comics, and WANTED was a mini-series I re-read a week ago. I liked it even more than the first time I read it a few years back, and wish the film wouldn't have totally neutered the insanity in order to focus on curving bullets. Meh.

The NZA Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Nemesis # 4 - bwahaha, i just got trolled, hard. Millar is a master of his craft.

Iambaytor Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I feel this review deserves 2 threads: I liked Wanted though in spite of the fact that it was written by a racist manchild who seemed to learn how to write from Frank Miller's id. Unfortunately even that fuckwit didn't even seem to be present for this book, this book is short-bus-window-licker retarded to a point that it reminds me of mid-90s Image siphoned through a filter made of Mark Millar's black soul. I hope they make the movie of this into something that doesn't even vaguely resemble this book, fuck I wish they'd just take the name "Nemesis" onto old laserdisk copies of Steel and market that as the adaptation because Shaquille O'Neal 3-point shotting grenades is still far more entertaining than any part of this horrible thing. Bring on all the jetpacks, magic looms, and McLovins it takes to make this something actually worth a shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DONT YOU GUYS FUCKING GET IT, HE PLANNED FOR THIS DUDE TO TURN DOWN A JOB FOR A DEPARTMENT THAT DIDN'T YET EXIST CAUSE HE WROTE IT ALL TEN YEARS AGO Well, the DHS came about in 2002, so if this thing is set in the "not too distant future" then that little bit about DHS not-existing when he wrote it wouldn't hold. However, I'm not defending the 10 year gaga at all. It's still a lame way to end the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
