My artistic tribute to the true #silversurfer #norrinradd despite the drama surrounding what #disney has done in the upcoming #FantasticFour film, the truth is that they missed a huge opportunity to bring this visually & narratively iconic #marvel hero appropriately to the screen

@PyroMaker3 Yep. The Hand plot suffers from bloat & an unclear concept w/ the whole “Black Sky” thing, but it has great moments & parts of it feel ripped straight from a Frank Miller panel. But it is lightyears beyond anything Disney.

Netflix Daredevil Season 2 is way better than Born again it's not even close. The punisher stuff by itself clears everything in Born Again. heck the shitty HAND plot is better than Born Again

@1carolinagirl We all Flooooat….

IT (1990) 🎈🎬

@K2strikes @DCOfficial I’ve always preferred it to be something that resembled the light suits from Tron Legacy. Drew this about 15 years ago playing around w/that idea & texture. Little too “busy” for what I’d do now, but I like the idea of constructs that have a tangible aspect but pulse w/light

Do YOU Prefer The Green Lantern Suit ?... A ) Construct B ) Practical

@SKINSWukong Knightfall Knight’s Quest Knight’s End Tim Drakes role is essential in the story & a lot of the Gotham story is viewed through his perspective on the events as he’s left to deal w/a new Batman going off the deep end.

What are some good comic recommendations for Robin? #Robin #DC #Comics #DCComics

@mikemoviez @TonyRod59541987 High Plains Drifter Appaloosa Bone Tomahawk Deadman All are pretty wildly different in teens of tone & content.

I'd like to get a list of good westerns going, but not the typical ones. The John Ford and Sergio Leone stuff, Magnificent Seven, True Grit, High Noon, The Wild Bunch etc. I'm looking for good westerns that aren't mentioned as often or have slipped under the radar 🤠

Happy Thursday everyone With my focus on the #xmen lately, been using the characters to work on skills any time I have down time. A little #phoenix #spiral #mystique & original appearance #polaris

Biggest thing for me on this: I’ve taught 6 diff grade levels in elementary for 8 years, my own kids are all middle school-high school- NO ONE in that age range is talking about this. In the Infinity War-No Way Home years, all they talked about was superheroes. It’s gone for that group. You hear them talk a bit about Invincible, my own son is really into it & has started collecting those & Absolute Batman, but actual DC movies? Nope. Not one word. That’s bad.

New look at ‘SUPERGIRL’. In theaters on June 26.

@GeeksGamersCom Time to scrap the MCU. Consider it done at Endgame. No Way Home as an epilogue.

They M-SHE-U’d Peter Parker’s Origin Story "So in our minds, no, he wasn't responsible for Uncle Ben's death. That would have been a different interpretation. A more intense interpretation of the character."

I always think about guys like my Brother in Law: 20 years as a firefighter/EMT in the DFW metro area, great father, husband, & worked his way to Captain. I feel like Superman would be like that. Just a good guy who would help any way he could even if he were “normal” because there’s millions of people who just do good things all day long. So, this obsession w/ what if the most powerful person ever were evil is just… played out. A good man in a world that needs them is so much interesting.

Evil Superman is not realistic That's what teenage edgelords who never learned to get off their own asses and grow up think...

Rewatching the Netflix series w/ my son & I was just telling him how much I enjoy side characters like Ellison from that show. It was so well drawn, you felt like the side characters could have had their own show about their adventures. A whole show of him running the Bulletin & investigating crime would have been incredibly compelling & he was just one small part of that universe.

This is where Karen should be. I hate her vigilante sidekick arc so badly.

@ItsKarenPage I know. Can you imagine if some nostalgia weaponizing company had reversed an amazing, cathartic villain defeat that worked on every level. It would be a crime & rightly should be ignored.

I'm so glad that this is where Daredevil ended. ❤️

@ComicsBulletin_ Not quite a comic, but a superhero book focused on helping kids learn the alphabet through alliterative phrasing & creatively posing the animals: a.co/d/0hmlDETc

💥 Calling all #indiecomics creators! Use this space to share your work 💥

@monsterhunter45 Well done! Just put up a children’s book my mom (a fellow educator) & I did together to help kids learn the alphabet after we both noticed my youngest girl struggling after covid. Hope for a 10th of that success.

Top 300 on all of Amazon, is pretty damned for a new book release. Magic & Bullets is #1 in a bunch of New Release categories too. The only things ahead of me in most categories is stuff like Fourth Wing (Romantasy, which is absurdly huge) and Dungeon Crawler Carl (which is a massive hit sensation). So I will take it!

@InsightSee42007 @AuthorGFAllen @StephenKing Yeah, I’ve fallen off on his recent stuff. & he definitely went through a mediocre period. But if I’m working outside or in my garage, a short story collection of his on audio is a great way to spend the time.

@Southern_Inks @AuthorGFAllen @StephenKing I'm not a fan of all his work, but I - too - read IT when I was pretty young and it (punny?) blew my mind.

Have you ever finished a book and immediately thought, “Yep, I need to read everything this author has ever written”?

@MasteroftheTDS Doing the same thing with my son. We’re on the end of Season 2. Such a great series.

I've recently been rewatching the Netflix Daredevil show before Disney's Daredevil: Born Again. There's genuinely no comparison. The Netflix version clears Born Again in basically every category: lighting, choreography, atmosphere, dialogue, characters, even the way scenes were shot. Everything was done with such care, and even in the not-as-good episodes, it shines through. It honestly sucks knowing we'll probably never get another superhero show that reaches that level again. Rewatching it just reminds you how special that run actually was.

On the further character destruction front: Sunspot goes from being a hot head who was always the first into a fight (his first girlfriend was killed by a stray bullet when he was kidnapped in Brazil), who refused a Magneto in Fatal Attractions to being a whiny, spoiled, follower, who signs up for global genocide. They make Cyclops somehow both a whiny cheater & a cuck in the same 5 minutes. & although the same 3 clips get shared around to show how “badass” he is, he cries more than Toby Maguire in Spiderman 3, & gets his ass handed to him by the X-Cutioner. On lore they get wrong: Gambit cannot charge Wolverines skeleton. That would at least severely incapacitate him. There’s a throughaway line about Nightcrawler teleporting the whole team from NY to Scotland. He can only go 2 miles max, has to see where he’s going, & carrying someone is a massive strain, that trip would over 2k jumps for him-one way. Wolverine & the X-Men actually showed how it would work. The Phoenix Force is just a huge Deux Ex Machina that can be turned on and off. And the end w/ Astroid M is a shot for shot rip off of the end of Age of Ultron. There’s more, but I’ll let it that for now.

I’m in that small but vocal minority that absolutely hated season 1, which really is in no way a continuation of the 92 series. The tone was completely different, the characters changed immediately to fit the “modern audience”, & huge plot points are ignored, disregarded, & retconned. ~~~~Break for those jumping in to attack: these are my reasons. Long & thought out. Lifelong X-Men/Marvel/Comics fan. So, yes, I have my arguments nice & detailed. Read on if you want. & if not, cool. I’m used to the eloquent “SYBAU” commentary from standard fans of this show. What made the 92 stores work was that it was Jim Lee’s “magic year” 1991 design aesthetic, but most of the stories & plots were classic Claremont golden era, Proteus, Phoenix Saga, Morlocks, Reavers, Noble Magneto on his path to a more centrist view. That’s what was so magic about the 92 series beyond it being masterfully adapted. This bastardized show had no interest in that. It cut ties w/that era almost immediately & what it did bring in: Magneto’s Trial, Life/Death, Inferno, Nathan’s infection it truncated, twisted & missed the point entirely. The 90’s stories it brought in, Zero Tolerance & Fatal Attractions, it destroyed to put in a modern the “Terrorist has a point” messaging. The Trial of Magneto turned into a Jan 6th allegory w/ human extremists attacking the capital. Magneto then flies the tribunal up into the atmosphere & threatens them w/death of they don’t comply. Magneto grooming a young inexperienced girl into an explicitly sexual relationship. Said girl who is delivered to him in a bikini by the woman she calls “Mama” when she’s only kissed a boy to that point. Turning Captain America into a lame, ineffectual fence sitter, who gets to be called “Americas Top Cop” in Rogues girl boss moment before she throws his shield over a mountain. Rogue turned from one of the most diehard members of the team, who multiple times in the og series refused to give up her powers or her team because she was so committed to helping innocents, into a psychotic Chippy whose down w/wholesale genocide. Magneto being turned into a Granny Goodness looking psycho terrorist who is possibly the worst example of the bizarre & disturbing Disney trope of “terrorist chiche” where the ideology that if you believe you are part of a marginalized or victimized group any violence you carry out or innocents you harm in the process is justified. It was clear this was where they wanted to get to from the beginning: the New X-Men “modern era” which allows them to put in all the new messaging they want. Not tell stories about heroes. But stories where “Magneto was Right.” This by the way, they also got wrong. Morrison wrote that line as an ironic indictment of Magneto being used as any kind of heroic symbol. Specifically, the psycho murdering terrorist version this show has who, in the show would have killed millions with his EMP wave & then is forgiven ( another huge departure from the comics where Xavier shuts his mind down knowing he’s too far gone). What Morrison had to say about that version of Magneto: “What people often forget, of course, is that Magneto, unlike the lovely Sir Ian McKellen, is a mad old terrorist twat. No matter how he justifies his stupid, brutal behaviour, or how anyone else tries to justify it, in the end he’s just an old bastard with daft, old ideas based on violence and coercion. I really wanted to make that clear at this time.” So, this show can play at being “X-Men”: it isn’t. It’s something else. A twisted modern Disney product born of weaponized nostalgia that brings in the “OMGoawsh!” Crowd, but destroys everything the X-Men were about. Which, I really wouldn’t mind as much if the fans of it weren’t so damned obnoxious about it being “accurate”.

Eu quero a opinião sincera de vocês sobre X-Men 97 Tudo o que vocês gostaram e tudo o que vocês não gostaram

Happy Wednesday yall. Procrastinating on some video editing I need to do & wasting too much time at my desk on a slow workday. Gloomy TX weather doesn’t help. Anyway, posting some artwork from my college days of the X-Men. Have a great one

@x_bobby__ You’re coming at me for not reading this stuff & referencing the CHUCK AUSTEN run? Seriously?

@Southern_Inks // this is not from 2015, what’s your excuse? And I’m blocking the hell out of you after your response because of your blue mark, you ain’t getting money from this

// You gotta be so fucking stupid to say this, you only show that you read the comics for the art and didn’t read anything in there 😭
