everybody thinks drawing is impossible because they draw a few things in their free time and get mad that it doesn't look amazing by the fifth scribble. You really gotta draw constantly to get to a point where you like your own art. lots of life drawing and landscapes too, even if all you have for references are photos. and even then if you're into comics you gotta learn to place your panels right so the page flows well, though that's easier to get used to than drawing itself. but over time you start to notice an improvement. six months after you hunker down you notice your art doesn't look like shit. a year later you notice you're drawing certain things well without a reference. and so on. but it will be very gradual. there's how to draw books but you can't base your whole style off one guy. though the loomis books are pretty good I gotta say.

also yeah I enjoyed that scene too, and the one where the son mashes that one bully's face in. it seems he didn't escape unscathed but he was a lot less fucked up than the other one.He never needed robot powers to defend himself, just confidence and bravery. Oku never bothered making the mom more likeable though. she throughout the story she's just a total uncaring selfish bitch until she suddenly isn't. The daughter got the bulk of the the family's characterization and character development time overall.

Do people srill read Marvel?

>>43275
it's that or dc if you want a shared superhero universe. there aren't really any competitors in that niche. all the old ones got bought out or they died out anyways. I have a feeling kids don't read marvel or dc anymore though.

>>43275
I read X-Men. This new era of X-books feels promising. They're treating the team right these days.

I read the fuck out of Ultimates and Ultimates^2. It was probably the single best ongoing series Marvel was pumping out, which is why it has just been cancelled,

Moon Knight is also having an enjoyable renascence at the moment as well.

And I also enjoyed what parts of Secret Empire I've read so far.

Negan ruined the book IMO. If the series ended at issue 99, it would be a god tier run. Now its the same never-ending shit that Kirkman makes fun of Marvel for, propping up meme characters to drive sales and using Negan like Deadpool.

>>43172
I also liked it. I don't care about Dwight but I guess he's going to try and fuck Rick up at some point now.

Also Rick is back in telephone territory.

>>43172
If you liked this issue, check out Here's Negan chapter 14, he was bad ass in it.

Please please please Kirkman let Maggie kill Negan in issue 200.

Can we all agree that 170 was the gayest issue yet? Not that there's anything wrong with that

Predictions:

My roomate insists Eugene's gonna just push Siddiq off that building and kill him then and there. Given how much he was down to torture/hurt Lydia to get at Alpha we already know he has a bloodlust, and the only time he's killed a man was by shoving him off a ledge. I differ though, I think that a time will come soon when Eugene could save his life, but instead chooses to let him die

Also Aaron and Jesus being in love just has me worried that the writers are setting the stage to off one of them, I pray it's not Jesus, but Aaron is a pretty dear character too

Marvel is dead to me.

>>43253
and why would that be?

>>43248
Fuck Marvel with their whole character race changing policy!

>>43255
yea! why would they swith deadpol for a muslim woimen wering a hijab- fucking globalists

srsly what the fuck does that have to do with gwenpool.

>>43264
Shitposters know nothing of what they shitpost about. News at 11.

I'd have to know more about each character but appearance-wise there are some similarities. Some combo's like tanned/dark skin blonde hair contrast nicely and look good based on general appeal without the benefit of inspiration from another fictional source.

Marvel's X-23 closely resembles Fathom's Aspen. Whether she was "inspired" or not is hard to say, 30-40 years apart as they are, but then again there isn't that much room for customization on base human palettes unless you go nuts with the hair dye and body mods.

I like it

>>43187
I'll admit there's stretches of it where I find it boring. some of the screencaps people post on /b/ and shit crop out the funniest parts and people might go into expecting a laugh a minute gag comic (and sometimes it can be). Not liking it is totally fair though. I almost never enjoy pure slice of life myself. Pretty much just this and yotsuba. unless you count sitcom tv shows, the bits in always sunny and king of the hill where they're just shooting the shit being themselves are really entertaining.

>>43187
You're right. The most that happens is just like the odd character revelation. the main appeal is their decadent and depraved lifestyle. I agree with you. i don't think it's really funny but i still read it for some reason. I think what keeps me reading is to see how messed up their lives become, despite, yes, nothing seeming to happen.

>>43187
My best friends had a lifestyle like this for a while, so we were crying from laughing.

You probably need to be near or among people like the heroes and successfully escape this kind of behavior to find the comic hilarious.

<- this one is painfully real

>>43193

Pretty much this, I think, yeah.

>>43193
The situation is really real life, so when its funny it brings you to tears.
When its just normal life it may be boring, but life is boring.
The surreality of it being witches, werewolves, and animals should get you through it.

Here's the better quality version of that picture

Eddie is back, bitches!
http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Edward_Brock_(Earth-616)

I don't really care if it's Eddie, Lee, Flash, Mac, whoever... The symbiote is the real start of the show now IMO. I've been enjoying the series (praised the first issue, lost some steam but still pretty good). The one thing I don't get is Eddie Brock's morality... Maybe they explain it in the upcoming issue, am I wrong or is Eddie not the type to merc a government security type in cold blood to get the symbiote back?... Also doesn't Eddie hate "Venom"? I know a lot of stuff has happened over the years but I thought he was more happy about the Anti Venom situation than the original suit.

I liked Shiver as a kid. Venom literally rapes someone, well...the symbiote rapes someone. And Idk if it's even the same symbiote as "venom" anyway but still. Fucking hardcore. Happens off panel too though. But what can you expect? It's marvel. Anyway shiver is basically The Thing, but with Venom. It starts bonding with people, controlling them/making them mad with power, and then using them up so fast they die and it needs a new host. It pairs with "Run", where Venom fuses with wolverine, the only one who can survive as a host because he heals as fast as venom feeds on him.

Eddie is the best one

>>42512
Looks like Hitman Monkey

>>42512
That's HitMonkey

He was just in the seriously disappointing Howling Commandos book and he's going to join the Mercs for Money series

He's a creation of the Daniel Way Deadpool era; he had a mini series that was alright. Minor cult character that they haven't run into the ground

Need more of that!

>>42385
Britain obviously wasn't insulated from the American market by the war, and consequently they're joined at the hip with America as far as comic culture goes.

>>42364

>thinking the germans didn't develop an own comic-culture

Werner-Comics, Ottifanten, Horrorschocker, Fix & Foxi ...

just to name a few.

>>42413
A bunch of random cartoons isn't the same as having a solid tradition, IMO.

Everything from Franquin rocks!

>>43239
He did some pretty dark (yet funny) stuff too

>>43236
Jeff Lemire sucks, so its prob not gonna go anywhere.

Looks cool, Plastic Man in the hands of Lemire could be nice.

Scratch that, just noticed Thanos Quest.
It's short, fun and accessible, which is why it gets recommended on its own as a self-contained mind-trip, but it's slap bang in the middle of an epic some 30 years long so you miss out on a lot of context that would make it even better.
As an introduction to the character himself, it cannot be topped. He's been tempered by those first 15 years of experience and not yet condensed by the following 15, striking the perfect balance of complexity & penetrability. But if you have the time, and want to know the WHOLE story, maybe try out his first two arcs first (Quest is the introduction to his 3rd).
Both were published in the 70s. There was his feud with Mar-Vell, and shortly after that his tussle with Adam Warlock. Both storylines featured the Avengers heavily and had issues scattered all over the place, but Marvel compiled it all into "Captain Marvel by Jim Starlin" and "Warlock by Jim Starlin" if you can find them. Alternatively there's an "Avengers vs Thanos" TPB which condenses both into ~1000 pages. It skips some of the Marv/Adam context but includes every issue Thanos appeared in, including one or two that Marv & Adam didn't.

You know what? Read Thanos Quest. If you like it and want to know what happens next, read the classic stuff first. It'll give you all the backstory for what you just read and all the context you need for what follows. Plus Quest's short enough that if you wanted you could read it again with that new context in mind before starting on Infinity Gauntlet.

>>43127
love the image you posted. where's it from?

also came here to ask the name of a comic i'm looking for. it's not a big two publication. it's sort of like suicide squad inspired there's even a character that looks like deadshot but it's an underground comic that got famous. just forgot the name of it.

>Hellboy
>Miracleman
>Avengers Geoff Johns run
>Morrison new x men
>Kingdom Come
>Green Lantern Will World, Emerald Dawn, Emerald Dawn 2

>>43205
90% sure it's an issue Warlock & The Infinity Watch. The monthly comic that spun out of Infinity Gauntlet. Likely one of the tie-in issues to Infinity Gauntlet's sequel, Infinity War.
Nota Bene: Infinity Gauntlet marked a big turning point for Marvel as a company & as a setting. Too much continuity, too little freedom, too many investors etc. meant something had to change. Some even claim Gauntlet itself is a story about the death of old-school Marvel. Point being, the period that pic's from is a whole 'nother animal from the period everything I splurged about in the last post is from. After Gauntlet there's Watch, then War, then Crusade, then Abyss, then Revelation/Relativity/Entity/Finale, plus the Malibu Comics crossover, plus Marvel The End, plus Thanos' 12 issue ongoing, plus the whole Marvel Cosmic renaissance... Things get complex, impenetrable, and unfortunately a lot less meaningful. Starlin even wrote in a "Thanos made clones" subplot to explain why other writers kept ignoring his character development. So if you're interested, adjust your expectations.

No idea what comic you want but it makes me think Mark Millar. Wanted, maybe?

>>43215
There's a bunch of torrents that have things in proper reading order, I just got one last week and read all the first Thanos appearances where he fights Iron Man and Captain Marvel.
