The Afternoon Rant from the new Iron Cap to the Hood and Spawn.
A conversation between Omar and I (Chris) that turned into a bitchfest mini-podcast.
Omar69: How goes it man?
Simpson: hey man, I'm doing well how about you?
Omar69: not bad at all.
Omar69: Booster is fucking Supernova!
Simpson: thats gay
Omar69: Booster, not dead AND competent and capable!
Simpson: oh you mean he is supernova. told you
Omar69: back to being classic Booster.
Simpson: I win! 52 right?
Omar69: I knew it too. I thought so when the character first appeared.Yeah, this was in last week's book.
Omar69: and Animal Man is not dead, Go Buddy, didn't think Morrison would let him stay dead.
Omar69: Thank God. ....
Simpson: ya know what I learned in my detective class?
Simpson: never have twins, it pisses off readers
Omar69: wha? Really? do tell
Simpson: just to never have twins like where one person dies and so it rules them out as a suspect but then as it turns out he had a twin. Readers can't get that its out of left field
Simpson: but of course in today's society (these were rules that are fairly old) everyone expects the unexpected a la soup opera he was dreaming dr.strange did it or Iron Man has always been Steve Rogers
Omar69: did you see the new post on the main page? Interesting picture by Silvestri
Simpson: yeah wtf. if this is true
Simpson: I'm done reading comics
Simpson: marvel comics that is
Omar69: alright Dan..lol
Simpson: LOL
Omar69: it will be really really fucking stupid though
Simpson: except ultimate
Omar69: really fuckingstupid! really...
Simpson: reallyreallyreally
Simpson: stupid
Simpson: show me someone who thinks it’s a good idea please
Simpson: don’t say Ben
Omar69: LOL
Simpson: I hope he is better than this
Omar69: damn...read my mind.
Omar69: he is pissed about the Hood though! I as well join him in that.
Simpson: I don’t mind it
Omar69: being the new Kingpin of the Marvel Universe!
Omar69: I think its bullshit the character was hardly a bad guy.
Simpson: at least its not retconing
Omar69: now he is an all out super villain. ALA Lex Luthor
Simpson: I just think its dumb how shit they are throwing out post civil war
all Bendis is doing is retconning a character that appeared in two limited series, one being his own. Bendis! King of Retcons!
Omar69: fuck you in the eye with a rusty nail BENDIS! One of these days my ass is going to be retconned and I won't even know it.
Simpson: yeah that part is whack,because I thought he was an anti-hero for the whole damn thing
Omar69: he was...
Simpson: bitch please
Omar69: if anything he's like Deadpool
Omar69: can you imagine Deadpool being the kingpin of Marvel!?
Simpson: if someone did that to my character I’d say blow me
Simpson: seriously
Simpson: blow me
Simpson: but I really don’t give a shit because I was tired of the Kingpin and it does need a fresh face. Anyone can rise up to that level if given the right circumstances
Simpson: why is Iron Cap's feet buried
Omar69: I don't know. Silvestri is the master at drawing feet...women feet. yum!
Simpson: I don’t want to draw the feet
Omar69: Liefeld always hid his feet as well
Simpson: so we'll just have him sinking in rock
Omar69: he admit it that feet were the hardest things to draw for him
Simpson: ya know they always gave credit to Mignola for doing it first
Simpson: Liefeld and someone else said that it was Mignola who was like just put a rock in the foreground or a fog
Simpson: I love Mignola, but what kind of artist doesn’t draw ten million feet until he has it down
Simpson: that’s what I did
Simpson: my feet people don't get much praise but fuck it
Omar69: I think hands are the hardest things to draw for me
Simpson: yeah I have to be in the zone for hands
Omar69: because its really the eyes and hands that move the art.
Simpson: thats true
Simpson: but I see fucking artists with cross-eyed people I'm like wtf
Omar69: its really fucking hard to draw some hands when they aren't in action poses.
Simpson: hence
Simpson: giant fucking weapons
Omar69: giant weapons indeed.
Simpson: penis cannons, basically
Omar69: liefeld always drew staple guns
Simpson: hence
Simpson: my brother with staple in his head
Omar69: what?
Simpson: kidding
Simpson: If I wasn't getting Spawn because I left I'd sure as hell dropped it now
Omar69: how come?
Simpson: they've killed the old universe and now there is a new one for spawn starting on 166
Simpson: basically more horror based
Omar69: thats what happened to Dragon and it got confusing.
Simpson: but I had my horror-based comics and I had my spawn
Omar69: how did they kill it off?
Simpson: well Spawn was always confusing and contradictory
Simpson: they had the Apocalypse
Simpson: and Spawn got God powers and tricked God and Satan and now neither of them exists
Omar69: right, who's writing this stuff?
Simpson: Hine
Omar69: I haven't liked anything he has written
Omar69: ever. so whatever.
Omar69: I'm sure his spawn is better than it was before.
Simpson: I really liked when Medina was on the book
Simpson: semi-directionless but fuck just tell me a good story it doesn’t have to have 30 plot lines.
Simpson: some Satan worshiper kills a cat, so spawn kills them
Omar69: Alright, that's enough ranting. Go back to your English class in England! Peace!







Whoa WHAT? The Hood? The Kingpin of the Marvel Universe? When did this happen, was I in some kind of drunken stupor. Why can't they leave that character alone, seriously. Stop turning a perfectly good Vaughan creation into shite.
