Great Comicbook Art Thread

Eisner's Postwar Spirit is still like a masterclass in the artform.

I still have all the individual issues of Kitchen Sink's reprints
 
I think I've stated before my love of Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol. To a lesser degree I also like Gerald Way's current run on the series. That said, there's a part of me that wishes the DP's original deaths back in Doom Patrol #121 had been allows to stick. There's just something so powerful about the ending, our heroes knowingly dying for a handful of people they've never met, especially in contrast to what DC was generally publishing in their superhero comics in the late 60's.

I consider them two different continuities, specially as Morrison's Doom Patrol very deliberately leads into The Invisibles, with Crazy Jane crossing over

Nice try, but a little too far-fetched. Next you'll say Bucky Barnes, Jason Todd, and Gwen Stacy were revived. Sorry, I don't buy it. No comic book company could be that creatively bankrupt. Plus your timing is off: April 1st doesn't come along for seven more months.

Every day is April 1st for a comic book fan.

They started good... getting his measure. But they didn't really follow through.

I think part of it is that he doesn't really have any history in the movies. You should know, going into Thor Ragnarok, that he's a decent match for Thor physically and, I don't know, not a coward. Whatever else there is Skurge was never a coward.

This was a Superman you didn't want to mess with. I remember reading this as a kid. Need to look it up again. It really stuck with me.

I like the idea of Superman alive so long that he goes insane and starts doing a bunch of weird stuff like splitting the earth in two. What next? Arranging the asteroid belt to make his S symbol?

Long story short, he split the Earth so that he could re-heat the core with his heat-vision. He then welded it back together. He brought atmosphere and plant and animal life from other planets around the galaxy.

Heavy.
 
I remember reading Logan's Run sometime back when I were a wee lad - and its sequels Logan's World and Logan's Search. I've seen the TV series, which was forgettable enough that I can't remember a lot of it, and the movie, which had a vestigal '60s/'70s phychedelic vibe but was made just as that was going out of fashion.

The books had a slightly different vibe from the movie. The felt to me like the author was trying to be trippy and write serious sci-fi at the same time. I can't say I'd rave about them but they had a definite style of their own.
