The History Of Comics With Q-boy #55 Fuck That! We Fin’ To Ride!

qbs55

With this one I thought “what if a superhero team acted like a straight up gang?”.  For good measure I threw in a “Menace II Society” reference. Also in this one I introduce “The Spider” which is my version of “Cobra” from “G.I. Joe” only they’re not really that evil at all.  You’ll be seeing more of these guys over time. The panels of this comic are based on the work of Ramona Fradon.

That’s it for this one. Next time a man called “The Illusionist” is called in to solve a big problem. Check out new Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations this Tuesday-Thursday.  Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

The Minstrel On Bad Bio On The Mad Jester/

The Upcoming Movie With Her Character And Some Other Chicks

ccc-50-theminstrel

Wow hard to believe I already posted 50 of these!  The first part of this comic is about the idea dropped in “Rebirth” that the “Joker” is actually 3 people.  I actually read “Rebirth #1” and it was kinda unclear as Batman said something about “he doesn’t know what that means”.  Nice backdoor way to cop out.  Good thing it’s there because its REALLY bad idea!  Like “revealing “Wolverine’s” origin” bad!  The “Joker’s” identity should always remain a mystery because anything you come up with is going to be disappointing.

Let’s talk about “Rebirth#1” for a sec.  (Spoilers)

Here’s the thing, the comic actually tries and it at least seems to be coming at things from the right place, but kinda like with “The Flash” finale I talked about yesterday it tries to “have it’s cake and eat it too”. So Wally West is back, but they want to keep the black Wally West they made up too.  I get that they don’t want to piss anyone off, but now they’re saying this one family has 2 guys named Wally West in it that are BOTH speedsters!  Get the hell outta here! Honestly what DC really should do is just admit that the new 52 was a mistake and take everything back to what it was before.  Instead this comic tries to pass the buck on “Watchmen”.  Yes “Watchmen” took away the “hope” and “legacy” and “love” and “sunshine” and “rainbows” and whatever else is good in the DC Universe.  This is total BS.  And as I said before the “Watchmen” characters should never be used.  (end spoilers)

The second part is about this female-led movie that “Harley Quinn” is suppose to be in after “Suicide Squad”.  Seems WAY too early to be jumping up and down about it, but okay…  That’s it for this week.  See ya next Tuesday-Thursday for more “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations”! Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations #44 The Innovator, Proud Lion, & The Good Knight On “America-Man: Civil Unrest” & Being Rich, Smart, & Tough

Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations #44

The Innovator, Proud Lion, & The Good Knight On

“America-Man: Civil Unrest” & Being Rich, Smart, & Tough 

ccc-44-theinnovatorproudliongoodknight

With The Innovator I wanted to use colors not associated with “Iron Man”. We all know Iron Man traditional colors of red and gold, but he’s also worn suits that are red and silver (Silver Centurion), blue and gold, and all white (Superior Iron Man) among others.  I ended up going with a blueish gray and green for The Innovator’s armor.

It took a while to settle on a name for Proud Lion. I was sure I wanted it to be “something” Lion. I was thinking about Dark Lion or Shadow Lion, but black lions don’t exist and these names seemed too close to “Black Panther”.

That’s it for this week. See ya next Tuesday-Thursday for more Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

The History Of Comics With Q-boy #52 The Colorful Countess AKA The Secret Weapon (Censored)

The History Of Comics With Q-boy #52 The Colorful Countess AKA The Secret Weapon (Censored)

qbs52c

Marlene Severie is based on Marie Severin whose was one of very few female comic books artists during the Silver Age of comics. She started out as a colorist and eventually moved on to doing penciling and inking.  She is probably best known for her work on Marvel’s comedy magazine “Crazy” and the comedy comic “Not Branch Echhh”.  She also helped to co-create the original Spider-Woman.

Panel 4 is based on two panels from two pages from Not Brand Echhh #3 (panel 3 on the first page and panel 5 on the second page) which you can check out here http://comicsworkbook.tumblr.com/image/135398438602

I hear some people have been talking about that 3rd Captain America movie that came out…. So yeah I ended up seeing it twice on Saturday.  Some have said it’s the best Marvel movie… Other say it’s the best comic book movie period…. Does it live up to the talk…. Is it truly the greatest of the great?

(spoilers ahead)

Well first to be very clear it is a very good movie.  BvS can’t even be mentioned in the same sentence. The big showdown is absolutely awesome and ranks up with the best fights ever…. But no it’s not the best comic book movie.  It’s not the best Marvel movie.  It’s not even the best Captain America movie.  Marvel’s weakness in it’s movies are usually the villains and this one has a very weak villain with a plan that make little sense and with a weak motivation.  The big problem with this movie is in trying to keep the villain and their plans mysterious is make them confusing. Here some other nitpicky stuff

  • The movie tries to be a Captain America movie but it really should’ve been named “Captain America & Iron Man : Civil War”, “Avengers: Civil War”, or “Marvel’s Civil War”
  • Cap’s position is dumb.  I just can’t get behind it. They make Tony and the government go too far, but it just seems like there was a way to easily comprimise
  • Wanda literally just killed a bunch of people and Tony is like “she should lay low for a bit” and Cap’s reaction is like “you MONSTER!”
  • Aunt May being young and hot just feels wrong.  I think it’s important that Aunt May is kinda old and frail and Peter always has to worry about taking care of her.
  • Spider-man in general could have been fit in more neatly. You just change the “college” speech/grant scene to a “gifted student” scene and have Tony see something that gets him to figure out Peter is Spider-man
  • They just kinda wasted Crossbones
  • The kiss with Agent 13 didn’t feel earned
  • Kinda weak to introduce all these “other Winter Soliders” and then do nothing with them

The unsung hero of the movie is Falcon. He really kicks ass in the movie.  I was really cool seeing a more “typical” Avenger’s mission. No one feels like the they were over powered and underpowered in the fights. One small exception is toward the end when Iron Man and Cap are fight it seems like Iron Man’s armor suddenly get damaged way easier than normal. I’m not sure where I rank this movie about I think the top 5 comic books movies are…

  1. The Dark Knight (honestly may be unbeatable with Heath Ledger’s “Joker”)
  2. The Avengers (also may be unbeatable because you can never recapture the magic)
  3. Captain America: The Winter Soldier (just plain a great film. Avengers only beats it because it has all the other heroes)
  4. Guardians Of The Galaxy (another just plain great film. Cap 2 only beats it out because it’s darker and he end credits scenes are better.  It’s that close)
  5. Deadpool (pretty much every second is violence, something funny, or both. Honestly this might rank higher if I re-watch all these)

Next time with see the comic Marlene created with features a big fight with Kill-man.  Also Tuesday-Thursday new Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations #41 Succubus, Red Witch, & Drizzle On The Possibility Of The Revenge Squad & The Fresh-Men Being In The Same Movie (Censored)

Succubus, Red Witch, & Drizzle On The Possibility Of

The Revenge Squad & The Fresh-Men Being In The Same Movie (Censored)

ccc-41-succubsredwitchdrizzlec

Supposedly Marvel has been talking with Fox possibly about an “Avengers VS X-men” movie.  If Fox and Marvel make a deal DC REALLY has no hope being escaping being number 2. Could we actually get a good Fantastic Four movie? Deadpool in the MCU?  Avengers with Wolverine and Spider-man?

That’s the saddest part is. Marvel has literally been winning with both hands tied behind it’s back. And winning by a lot. I know I’ve gone on a lot about “Batman V Superman” but people aren’t grasping how big a failure it is.  DC pretty much gave you all of it’s best in one movie.  Again it put the 3 most recognizable names in the world in one movie.  You take the Batman and Superman logo anywhere in the world and people know what they mean. Marvel has no equivalent. The closest you could get is maybe Spider-Man, Wolverine, and Deadpool (after the movie) and you’d still probably have to add the Avengers and it still not the same.

I think the key is Marvel is still hungry.  You hear the Russo brother (the directors of “Winter Soldier” and “Civil War”) talk in an interview and you know these guy aren’t taking anything for granted. They write as if they know Spiderman is going to be in the movie so that Marvel has to fight to get him.  They don’t settle for less.

That’s it for this week. Next week starts with a new “History Of Comics With Q-boy” and Tuesday-Thurday we’ll have some new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations”. See ya then, and hope you enjoy!

Special-Girl, White Swallow, & Quickie On A Version Of White Swallow’s

Character Appearing On Quickie’s Show/ Season 2 Of Special-Girl  (Censored)

ccc-40-specialgirlwhiteswallowquiuckie

I kinda messed up here. I thought yesterday’s episode of “The Flash” was the one where another version of “Black Canary” was suppose to appear but that episode is in 2 weeks.  Oh well…

So can they renew “Supergirl” for another season already? It not the greatest show ever, but it’s better than pretty much everything else on CBS.  Otherwise I’m going to have find some other show to watch on Mondays that isn’t “Gotham”.  It’s funny a friend of mine still watches it and tell me about because he won’t stop watching it for some reason.  It sounds dumber and dumber by the second.

Tomorrow Succubus, Red Witch, and Drizzle discuss the possibility of The Fresh-Men and The Revenge Squad being in the same movie. See ya then and hope you enjoy!

Frag Count & America-Man On Frag Count’s TV Show (Censored)

ccc-39-fragcountandamericamanc

Marvel gets it.  It’s just that simple. They played coy with us for a while but we’re getting the “Punisher” show.  They give us a taste of something awesome and then give us more of it.  DC seems to have the opposite approach… We saw “Man Of Steel” and were like:

“Um we like the action… Like good job on that, but um… The movie seems kinda dark and gloomy… Which is odd for a Superman movie.  Also Superman’s folks should encourage him to save people cuz’ that’s kinda the whole point of Superman… See he’s like a God but he’s a hero because of the people that raised him.  And again the 20 minutes of action were great but there a lot of really boring stuff… Also Superman probably should actually save people and shouldn’t kill people. Especially not in his first adventure… And if he does have to kill… It has to be a really big deal…. In fact you guys should really start over.  Ya know you got this show “Arrow” that people like… You should base your movies in that universe.  And you know how Marvel has the little scenes after the credits. We really like those.”

DC replied with the giant “Eff you!” that is “Batman V Superman”.  “Oh you didn’t like our Superman movie, well we’re gonna screw up Batman too! And for complaining here our Lex Luthor! Now take this movie and like or you don’t even want to know we’ll do to Wonder Woman”.

“You know you already have a Flash people really like…. Nevermind”.

So anyways “Civil War” comes out this week. And wow does it look good. And the reviews are even better. People are saying it’s the best comic book movie yet.  Can it possibly dethrown “The Dark Knight” as the best comic book movie?  I hope to find out on Saturday.  Tomorrow (unless plans change) Special-Girl, White Swallow, and Quickie talk about an appearance on Quickie’s TV show.  Hope you enjoy, and see ya then!
