Comic Book Thread: Combined for greatness

[Delirium]

whole list is fraudulent. Nothing about Nicholas Cage in Ghost Rider, nothing Supergirl, nothing Elektra, nothing about Jessica Alba or the guy who played Reed in Fantastic Four(although the guy who played Doom was mentioned).

[grantlogan]

No Ben Affleck as Daredevil??? He was AWFUL!

[Delirium]

apparently Rob Liefeld is saying how amazing he is for creating Deadpool. He basically said that his creation(which everyone knwos was kind of a rip-off of Deathstroke originally) has gone through no costume changes in 20 years(which isnt entirely true) and has had nothing but D-listers work on it. As if guys like Mark Waid, Joe Mad, Daniel Way, Joe Kelly, Ed McGuinness, Skottie Young, etc are somehow garbage.

[grantlogan]

Oh Rob. But Daniel Way is a D-lister! It's sad that Liefeld is looking for validation since for whatever godforsaken reason Deadpool is hugely popular the last few years.

[tyven]

i would think deadpool is more than "kind" of a rip off. mercs, slade wilson, wade wilson, healing factors.

also why am i the only one that like fabian niceiza or w/e the fuck his name is?

[grantlogan]

Cuz you crazy.

[tyven]

@Remender Truth hurts. Did I miss the Brubaker Deadpool arc? The Millar Deadpool arc? The Loeb Deadpool arc. Get over yourself.

only leifeld would call loeb A-list

And Liefeld has that ugly ass pic of Hawkman on his twitter.

[Delirium]

I've been a fan of Deadpool since I was a kid, so idk. He was kinda bleh before Daniel Kelly got a hold of him though, even Fabian Nicieza has said it. I also like Daniel Way, his is the only Deadpool I've liked over the past few years(except the evil deadpool arc which was too over the top for me).
Bleeding Cool summed it up

It was, as ever, a Rob Liefeld tweet that started it.

"Testament to Deadpool’s appeal and durability is that he thrives regardless of being regulated to D-list talent. Marvel A-list never touches."

Now instantly my head was full of Joe Kelly, Ed McGuinness, Joe Madueira and Kyle Baker but Rob Liefeld clarified, saying “still no A-listers in decade”.
Dave Johnson replied

"Yes!!! I’ve been elevated to the “D list” of talent. Thanks Rob. Now if I can only learn how to ink while driving a car."

While Marvel Editor-In-Chied Axel Alonso tweeted;

"Welcome to the D-list, @GerryDuggan @thebrianposehn @tonymoore! Howdy Doody just put your name on the list."

Deadpool-featuring Uncanny X-Force writer Rick Remender replied ;

"Lot of talented people you just called out as D-list. Might be a better way to congratulate yourself?"

Rob tweeted in response;

"Truth hurts. Did I miss the Brubaker Deadpool arc? The Millar Deadpool arc? The Loeb Deadpool arc. Get over yourself.

The flip of my statement is that Marvel doesn’t feature their prize talent on Dpool and the character does well-Mostly newbies, hence D-list"

Rob has also been writing about his frustration that Deadpool is used as a Wil-E Coyote type figure in the Marvel Universe, pointing the finger at Axel Alonso. But I don’t know, my favourite, absolute utter favourite issue was when Deadpool goes back in time and rewrites a previous issue of Amazing Spider-Man from the sixties, with a perpetually dancing Mary Jane Watson. A hell of a lot of slapstick and a wonderful comic to boot…

This may continue into the wee hours but I’m off to bed. Night night.

I'm interested in reading Brian Posehn. His stand-up kills me but I had no idea he was a writer nor interested in comics.

100% this. Although, I thought the same about Kevin Smith and his stuff has been pretty mediocre so far with moments of awesome.

I liked Affleck as Daredevil. It was just so poorly written :/

[Epysian]

I really liked his Daredevil (Guardian Devil), but the rest has been kinda meh. Or good ideas that just fall apart (Spiderman: The Evil That Men Do).

I love Brian Posehn. And Deadpool. So this is pretty much right up my alley

Fraction on FF and Fantastic Four. I feel like there's gonna be some rage here.

[grantlogan]

Godamn it. Hickman transformed the Fantastic Four, in my opinion, from one of the lamest comics to the absolute best. Now to be handed off to shitty Fraction, blarg. On the upside, Remender going to be on Cap, who is in dire need of a good writer.

[Delirium]

<3 Fraction, deal with it

[Tajin]

just read that deadpool drama, fuck that guy Wily E. Coyote is the shit.

[Delirium]

I laughed

[grantlogan]

New Avengers was actually really good! I was fully expecting more filler but it was full on Illuminati.

[tyven]

I laughed

lol i came to post that

[Epysian]

I think I picked up the first two issues of that tie in and got bored really quick. If it got much better I may have to break down and buy the rest when I get some more money.
