The Comic Book Thread

He wrote Flash several years ago when Wally was still Flash, yes. But he also wrote Flash: Rebirth and the following ongoing, as well as the New 52 Flash, too.

I liked Johns' take on Wally West in 2000, but never liked the revival of Barry Allen even though I did read the first 12 issues he wrote before the New52. Francis Manapul wrote and penciled the New 52 Flash (issues 1-25 with a fill-in here and there).
Anyway, I understand where you are coming from... This argument is not going to go anywhere. We have different opinions and I respect yours and respectfully disagree that he is still a top-tier writer.

You're right, I just Googled it. I was picturing the cover with Flash bending down to put on his boot for the New 52 cover, but that was the Flash: Rebirth cover, my bad.



I still don't think that affects what I was saying much, though. He's still current with DC, and many a comic fan are still talking about him in the internet comic community.

So in your mind the comparative historical, cultural significance in the world of art, within mind their strengths and weaknesses:

"an art house video of someone shitting on Cheerios > Shenmue"

Yeah. Shenmue is really bad.

We should discuss this on the guest podcast, which Aaron mentioned he would like me to be a part of.

[BurningDoom]

I can't deny the quality and production-value put into Shenmue. But that said, I find it to be very boring.

[Luke]

I find it to be very boring.

It was meant to be. That's the point.

Are you kidding me? In this place? You don't accept sarcastic rebuttals? I never directly insulted the guy, get off your high horse, dude. I simply disagreed with him. I vehemently disagreed, yeah, and I still absolutely do; but I never said you suck or called him names or anything.

Very well, BD. Since SB doesn't seem interesting in pursuing this, I'll lay off.

Part of me wants to... but because I'm a mod I feel the need to squash trouble by ignoring it and being the bigger person.
I was/am offended by the way in which he responded to my post ESPECIALLY since he did not read it and made fun of my opinion based on something I did not say - or something I did say that he ignored. I realized that he doesn't feel bad, and now I know not to discuss opinions with him. I will keep in mind how other opinions are treated... and like I said multiple times in this post - I can be biased. Lets move on...

Someone shitting on Cheerios > Shenmue > Braveheart > Geoff Johns pre-2005 > Geoff Johns post-2005 > snow > lawyers

Actually, we may have hit the bottom there...

I agree with this. I - literally - have to deal with those assholes all day long.

There is no reason for an alert here. I - literally - have to deal with lawyers all day long.

I just imagine Luke has an IFTTT search happening for the word "literally" and doesn't parse whether usage is accurate or not.
