Q-boy, Death Poll & Kill Screen On The Greatness Of Popularity (Censored)

ccc-90-qboydeathpollkillscreenc

I’ve seen a guy from “DC Comics” way “fuck “Marvel””. I’ve seen actors whine about, give excuses for, and talk about “great deleted scenes in “Suicide Squad”. I’ve seen pretty much of the whole cast of “Suicide Squad” give the middle finger the critics. What I haven’t seen is class.

For some reason “DC” especially in their movies want to to be the “bad boy”. And that just isn’t what makes “DC” what it is. All their movies so far have these awkward moments where they try to be “edgy” and it’s just weird and kinda sad. It like if the kid everyone knows is a goody two shoes all of a sudden started smoking. You would just give him the side eye as he struggles not to cough.  What makes “DC” what it is are two things. Legacy and possibility. Anything can happen in the “DC” (multi) universe even the whole thing being (repeatedly) rebooted.

Stop trying to be bad. No one’s buying it, and even if anyone did that’s not gonna make anyone like your movies. Embrace what makes you great. Let “Superman” smile, and hope really hard “Marvel” doesn’t take over “Hulu” too. Cuz’ if this “Runaways” show they got planned is half as good as the comic they will.

Tomorrow The Minstrel returns along with Q-boy and Slowku to talk about how Slowku avoids popularity. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

The Innovator, Q-boy, & The Minstrel On Sudden Popularity (Censored)

ccc-89-theinnovatorqboytheminstrelc

Names can be hard to come up with.  Sometimes I find it to be the hardest part of making these comics.  So what I’m about to say isn’t being said without sympathy…

… In the comics “Iron Man” has this 15 year old black girl protege named “Riri Williams”.  It was looking like “Riri” was going to take “Iron Man’s” place after “Civil War II” possibly even using the name “Iron Man”.  Yesterday it was revealed she’ll be using name…. *drumroll* “Iron Heart”…..

“Iron Heart”?!  Really?! I mean “Iron Girl” or “Iron Woman” aren’t great but “IRON HEART”?!

Maybe I’m missing something or it’s just me, but I’m not feeling that name at all. Anyone feel the same? Different?

Tomorrow Q-boy returns with Death Poll and Kill Screen to talk about the perks of popularity. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

The Minstrel, Q-boy, & Slowku On School

ccc-88-theminstrelqboyslowku

Don’t really have anything to say about this comic so I’m going to go off topic and talk about the animated movie “Batman: The Killing Joke”. I finally got around to watching this and wow does “Batgirl” get done dirty. So if you don’t know the in the comic this movie is based on “The Joker” shoots and permanently paralyzes “Batgirl” (until the “New 52”) as part of his plot to drive “Commisioner Gordon” insane like himself. It’s a great comic but kinda problematic because “Batgirl” is basically just used at a plot device and there some real dark stuff suggested that happens to her as well.

It seem likes the movie tries to make this better (and to fill up time since the comic isn’t enough material for a whole movie) by adding a “Batgirl” adventure to the beginning.  This makes things a lot worse.  First of all it just doesn’t fit with the rest of the movie. It’s very badly done and it’s jarring when the story just switches.  Also the story doesn’t make “Batgirl” look very good. It makes her seem pretty amatuerish and “Batman” REALLY talk down to her. Then she kinda throws a tantrum and tries to fight him… Then she gets all hot and bothered and bangs “Batman”. I knew going in that this happens and it’s so much worse than I thought.  It’s really gross.

The part that just adapts “The Killing Joke” is pretty good, but again wow was the “Batgirl” stuff unnecessary.  They should have really made it clearly two separate stories. One about “Batgirl’s” last mission before she retires (where she’s competent and doesn’t bang “Batman”) and then “The Killing Joke” story. That’s just my 2 cents though. What are yours?

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 Minstrel, Q-boy, & Freedom Female On Anxiety (Censored)

ccc-87-theminstrelqboyfreedomfemalec

Can “Wonder Woman” break “DC’s” streak of bad movies? It’s possible. The trailer was pretty good. The only thing is there’s still no clear villain.  I see this as a bad sign.  This seems to indicate there’s either no real villain or the villain sucks.  This is a tough area for “Wonder Woman” as she only has 2 villains that a decent amount of people would know.  That’s “Cheetah” and “Giganta”.

On top of that you gotta fit whatever you plan to do around World War I. Having the movie take place during World War I as opposed to World War II where “Wonder Woman” actually debuted in  the comics is a decision I find particularly strange.  The only reason I can think of for doing it is to avoid comparisons to “Captain America”. Those comparisons to are unavoidable. It’s already noted that both feature soldier’s named “Steve” played by a guy named “Chris”.

I guess only time will tell… Tomorrow The Minstrel and Q-boy return to talk about school along with Slowku. Hope you emjoy and see ya then!

The Minstrel, Q-boy, & Muffina Winters On The Olympics

ccc-86-theminstrelqboymuffy

I haven’t watched one second of The Olympics.  I just don’t care.

So I decided I’m going to run with this whole “trying to make the comic relatable” thing I started last week for a while. Also as the comic suggests I’m keeping The Minstrel (my “Harley Quinn” based character if you didn’t know) around to ride on the wave of popularity “Harley Quinn” has gotten from “Suicide Squad”.

Muffina Winters (my “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” character if you didn’t know) if you notice is referred to as “the former
“Murderess Of Monsters”. She appeared a few times in this comic and “The History Of Comics With Q-boy”.  I have a whole story about it if I ever get around to it.

Tomorrow The Minstrel and Q-boy return and are joined by Freedom Female (the “Wonder Woman” character) to talk about anxiety. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

The History Of Comics With Q-boy #59 Broad City AKA The One With The Other Comic (Censored)

I was 6 of these comics ahead at one point then I totally changed my mind on what I wanted to do, and blew through that.  Then eventually I got 6 of these comics ahead again, and now… I’m maybe a little over halfway done with the next one.  “Writer Ricky” keeps wanting to put too much material in each comic and “Artist Ricky” has to tell him that means it got to be a double page. “Writer Ricky” says “so be it”, and that’s how I got where I am now.

All that aside, “The Bastardized Ninja” is actually the title character of my other comic (which is currently on hiatus but will return at some point). You can check out those comics here http://qr.net/bWPD8

Anyways like last time this comic is based on the work of Will Eisner.  Let’s get to the panels:

Next time a man known as “The Outlaw” tell his story of how got involved with Q-boy Comics. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!
