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

ccc-90-qboydeathpollkillscreen

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

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!

Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations #84 The Minstrel, Q-boy, & Nodachi On The Struggle To Eat Healthy

Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations #84

The Minstrel, Q-boy, & Nodachi On The Struggle To Eat Healthy

ccc-84-theminstrelqboynodachi

“Katana” is a woman named after a sword so I just picked a different sword for this chatacter based o her, “Nodachi”. A nodachi is a super long sword like the one the “Sephiroth” from “Final Fantasy VII” uses.

So the general idea about this comic was making fun of attempting to make this comic more like a “normal” webcomic (many of which are focused on gags based around relatable topics).  Enough of this, back to talking about “Suicide Squad”. Let’s get to “Harley Quinn”.

In previous comics I made it pretty clear I wasn’t a big fan of “Harley Quinn” being part of “Suicide Squad” or her costume changes over time.  It just makes no logical sense why anyone would pick “Harley Quinn” to be part of “Suicide Squad”. She is unstable, unpredictable, and has no powers.  If any fairly athletic chick with a bat can make your black ops team you need to shut that team down and start over.

“Katana” much like “Jubilee” in “X-men: Apocalypse” is given very little to do. I think she only has two lines that are actually in English.  She’s just kinda thrown into it, and that’s it…

“Captain Boomerang” is given the big intro treatment (that leads to a “Flash” cameo (and he still looks stupid)) that “Deadshot” and “Harley Quinn” get but again he doesn’t do much.  There’s no part of this movie that really required the use of a boomerang.

“Killer Croc” looks really stupid and barely even speaks. I wish they made him like the version in “Batman The Animated Series” but that’s purely personal preference because that’s the version of the character I know.  He does actually use his special abilities by swimming through the sewer at one point (you don’t see it) and using his strength to throw something.

The other characters I either covered last time or it would be spoilery to talk about them much. The villain is stupid and their plans completely change without explanation. The plot shows no need for this particular group of characters besides maybe “El Diablo”. The action is weak. These so called “worst of the worst” are actually pretty tame and damn near heroic. All that and all the humor falls flat.

We’ll finish up with “Suicide Squad” as Q-boy, The Minstrel and in his first appearance (the “Joker” character) The Mad Jester discuss dating. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

The Innovator, Headmaster Fresh, & Mr. Stretch On People Who Can Predict The Future (Censored)

ccc-45-theinnovatorheadmasterfreshmrstretch

Early on when coming up with these characters I thought it would be interesting to switch how the “Mr. Fantastic” and “Dr. Doom” characters interacted with each other.  So I made Mr. Stretch obsessed with Dr. Do and supremely arrogant, and generally a lot worse than him.  When you think about it “Dr. Doom” being obsessed with “Mr. Fantastic” is kinda silly.  The guy rules a country.  Weirdly enough with him being part of “The Illuminati”, “Marvel” had made “Mr. Fantastic” more like Mr. Stretch.

That’s it for this week. We start off next week with a new “The History Of Comics With Q-boy” where Q-boy along with The American World Protectors Of America help their teammate The Underwater Monarch with a problem.  Then Tuesday-Thursday new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations”.  Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Apex, Facsimile, & Freak Creeper On “Fresh-men: Armageddon” & Facsimile’s Mothering (Censored)

ccc-57-apexfacsimilefreakcreeperc

It’s kinda weird how in “X-men: Apocalypse” there’s no mention that “Mystique” is “Nightcrawler’s” mom, especially when there’s all this stuff about “Quicksilver” being “Magneto’s” son.  It’s even weirder when “Nightcrawler’s” dad is clearly established in “X-men: First Class”.

Some other stuff hinted at in this comic is “Wolverine” killing his son “Daken” (who somehow came back and was re-killed by “Mystique” of all people) and his female clone “X-23” (who has taken the mantle of “Wolverine” since “Wolverine” is dead, although he supposedly appeared in an “Agents Of Shield” comic, and his older alternate reality counterpart “Old Man Logan” is running around).  Comics gotta love em’.

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 #56 Succubus & Red Witch On “Motherly Advice” (Censored)

Succubus & Red Witch On “Motherly Advice” (Censored)

ccc-56-succubsredwitchc

So in the comics “Rogue” and “Magneto” had this flirtation or something that never seemed to go anywhere after he saved her from a machine messing with he mind or something.  I don’t really remember. Then in the “Age Of Apocalyspe” they were married and somehow had a kid.  The Scarlet Witch at one point says “No More Mutants” and decimates the mutant population.  Fast forward a lot to after “Avengers VS X-men” and a team of  “X-men” and “Avengers” members is formed in “Uncanny Avengers” with “Rogue” and “Scarlet Witch”. “Rogue” naturally is hostile to “Scarlet Witch” as everyone should be sense she’s crazy and indecipherable powers she can barely control.  All of that is to say I thought it would be funny if “Rogue” went all “stepmom” on “Scarlet Witch”.

Tomorrow… Well the plan is a comic with my versions of Wolverine (Apex), Mystique (Facsimile), and Nightcrawler (Freak Creeper), but there’s a lot work I gotta do.  I’m pretty sure I can get it done though.  Hope you enjoy and see ya then!
