Tell me why I should read Y: The Last Man

I don’t recommend garbage. Remember that.

I think I am acutely aware of this fact.

I was mainly getting amusement from the juxtaposition of “having pulled for me every month” and “All Star Superman.” Every month? ASS wouldn’t even qualify as a quarterly at this point.

Y is as good as Lost Season 1 - you should definitely read it.

Then we can all come back and talk about how it should be a 3 season TV Show.

Y is currently in development to be a movie. BKV finished the first draft himself, last I heard. Not sure if the Hollywood assholes are gonna hire other people to rewrite it, but from what I understand, BKV is not going to allow other people to fuck up his vision.

ahh, went right over my head.

you are, of course, right that it doesn’t ship every month (it’s supposed to be every other month), I award you your No-Prize!

I thought you mistook All Star Superman for All Star Batman, and that was the impetus of your peals of laughter.

so, yeah, right over my head.

Well, technically, ASBAR could have fit the bill as well, since it is also plagued by delays. But yeah, I was referring to ASS.

Zephyranthes:

I don’t think sano qualifies as “rogue maverick” in any way, shape, or form. He’s the forum mod. In other words, he is the very epitome of THE MAN. By comparison, all of the rest of us have the potential to be mavericks.

There is no SRK Comic Book Forum Illuminati. Such a thing does not exist, and I’m not just saying that because I’m a member of it. There might possibly be something like the Secret Society of Supervillains, though - a group of freedom fighters which exists to subvert the evil status quo maintained by THE MAN (aka sano), who continually oppresses the unsuspecting masses.

I don’t think I completely qualify. I mean, I am Asian, so that satisfies the “earthling minority” part, I suppose. But cracking lame jokes at inopportune moments? Not possible. All of my jokes are fucking awesome and delivered with lethal precision and not corny at all.

I nominate P.Gabby instead. He’d be the perfect enforcer.

FOR EXAMPLE

Taichi: Ho hum. I shall make a new thread… Okay everyone, tell me why I should read From Hell.

box: Because it’s awesome.

goody: Nobody understands Superman like Alan Moore. Read “Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?”. It is perhaps the finest and only example (other than Morrison’s superbly excellent All-Star Superman) in known history of a talented creator “getting” Superman perfectly.

Rocky.C: WE3 is a great read.

Zephy: [6 paragraphs of hyperbolic praise.] And if you don’t read From Hell, you can eat an ASS BAR.

Clinty: If you don’t trust the SRK Comic Book Illuminati, we will fuck you up.

Painy: Carpet Lint loves Origin.

Clinty: Good thing that book didn’t ever happen. At all.

Nightwing1990: lol i like nightwing hes awesome you should read year one its the best imho

maxx: I’mma find that damn TPB, get the fuck off my case Zephy

Ragey: All worshipers of the Great Bru, the time is NOW!

Deathy: If you’re not reading the Immortal Iron Fist, then you’re dead to me.

P.Gabby: Fuck all of you all. David Lapham and Matt Wagner ftw.

sano: Okay, question answered, thread closed and locked! Good work, P.Gabby!

P.Gabby: Oh, and Rucka >>>>>>>>> Bru

Touche my Friend.

Touche.

Lmao that was one of the most clever and funniest posts ever, you can’t be a sidekick. Maybe underground indie who doesn’t hit it big until a motion picture of it comes out and everyone claims to have been previous hardcore fans.

To Deathy: I’m glad someone else reads Immortal Iron Fist. I haven’t been able to keep up lately, with hardly anything in comics, so I need to make a pit stop soon and drop $50 on new and old stuff lol.
