Comic Book Thread: Combined for greatness

Big if true

[Vagrant]

I can imagine him taking over the Justice League title and doing some big flagship event there.

[Zealot]

DC already did Hickman's Secret Wars and called it Final Crisis.

[tyven]

idr if final crisis was the one i liked or not. Which one had superman prime kill super boy or w/e

[Krandor]

That was infinite crisis I believe. Final Crisis was Grant Morrison going full Grant Morrison.

[tyven]

i think i liked final crisis for the most part too. thats the darkseid one right but somehow the main bad guys were vampires from the future and superman whistled at them?

God I love Grant Morrison.

[Cantih]

On that note, Klaus has hit stride.

[Delirium]

DC announced a bunch of creative teams for Rebirth.

[Kaslo]

I'm just looking forward to Jessica Cruz + Simon Baz story.

[Krandor]

Hmm, I actually like alot of those there, especially the double dose a month of Rucka on Wonder Woman.

Agreed, but the twice a month shipping is going to be fucking rough on my bank account. I don't feel inclined to buy any of them because of this.

[Krandor]

So, I just read Nameless (Grant Morrison Image series)... Anyone else who might have read this mind explaining it because I literally have no idea what I just read.

[Kaslo]

A Grant Morrison book. #nailedit

[Krandor]

Yeah but like, I can normally at least halfway decipher his stuff. But here I'm fucking donezo.

Spoiler: show

So Razor House happens, where they get into the communal hippie circle to communicate with the alien mind from the alternate reality imprisoned on the shard of the planet Marduk but the alien is actually God who possess Nameless and makes him kill everyone with a hammer before trying to claw out his own eyeballs. And then the doctor gives him magical super drug thing that makes him forget everything including his name and then he apparently kills the doctor and goes on some kind of psychopathic walkabout for 10 years before getting hired by the people he murdered to steal shit from people's dreams and eventually gets hired to go on some space mission to save the Earth from aforementioned evil Marduk shard that's on a collision course with the big blue bitch. Yada Yada demonic possession shit, some stabby bullshit, but apparently everything after Razor House is actually just him hallucinating since God made him go crazy and is slowly taking him over, so none of it is real except apparently the shard and the entire mission that is only occurring in his head actually manages to crash into the moon thus saving the Earth that has gone full purge mode with the impending Apocalypse. And then the book ends.

Fuck why did I read anything by Morrison during the work day, I'm not gonna be able to focus on shit now.

[grantlogan]

There is no clear true reality, it's left ambiguous. Hopefully Morrison will continue writing it. I loved Nameless because it felt like a return to his earlier writing.

[grantlogan]

Cap is back y'all nuggets! Just in time for the Civil War movie. Read the latest Captain America: Sam Wilson to see how, it's a good read.

[Kaslo]

Yeah I loved the Cap 75th Anniversary issue, was a good romp through Bucky, Cap, and Falcon.

[noblemountain]

Thought it was a great issue also. Loved seeing Cap back and damn handsome too!

[Delirium]

Black Panther and new WicDiv tomorrow. Hype train!
