I mean, if you went through his entire body of work you could probably pinpoint the exact time that he became a snek priest.

Morrison is the wizard I will be supporting when the Mage Wars begin.
I saw a line mentioning that and I don't want to know anymore.
Yeah the female protagonist is subjected to getting raped for several days until she gets rescued by some creature. And some months later she finds out she's going to give birth to Cthulhu. This entire thing is fucked.
There's not much to know, it's just the one panel. But that entire book is fucked. I made the mistake of buying the hardcover out of curiosity without knowing much about it.
There are other creators who like Lost Girls, like Neil Gaiman and Brian K. Vaughan.
That book is gross.
That book is gross.
Now we know why Freeza pushes for a digital only future so hard.
Noooooooooooooooo
Lost Girls redux
I was asked to write about Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie's Lost Girls for Publishers Weekly . And once I had written the article, I discove...
Just roommates but both are bi and it's building up to a romance.
Shut the fuck up.
The second season is supposed to explore their relationship. The creators said they didn't want to do it in season 1 because the show starts with her splitting up with Joker and they didn't want her just jumping into a new relationship that fast.
There's legit criticism of stuff that leaves the representation up to fans' fantasy headcannon rather than being explicit.
It would be if it was actually a specific criticism targeting a medium that hadn't been confirmed, multiple times, to explicitly be showcasing an LBGT romance. Leveling this 'criticism', and that's being generous, at the HQ show is disingenuous at best and downright problematic at worst.
You know why? It's an entertainment product. It's fundamentally designed to 'get you to buy it'. That's literally what all comics, games, movies, TV, etc are about. That doesn't mean it can't have good messages, and it doesn't mean those messages can't be sincere. 'It's whatever it needs to be to get you interested' is the most milquetoast, needless bullshit critique you can level, and beyond that, why is it only ever brought up when progressive politics are at hand?
The show is not 'leaving representation up to fans'. It's explicitly about Harley and Ivy's romance, and if the poster didn't know that, then they should have googled it before needlessly running their mouth.
So I went back in the thread to look for this:
And I realized I missed this:
I would read runs of those comics written by Snyder in a heartbeat.
And I realized I missed this:
Snyder did an AMA a few hours ago:
LIVE Q&A: Scott Snyder writer of BATMAN and SWAMP THING! Friday, April 3rd @11am PT/2pm ET
OK folks! I have to run to help with the kids BUT, I’d love to do this again ASAP and keep asking me anything you want on Twitter as I’ll try to answer more often than I have been over there ssnyder1835community.dcuniverse.com
"Generations is more of a recounting of DC History right now, rather than being a big catalyst for things. The reconnecting of continuity - making it all one big story - is our job via Death Metal and we're honored and humbled and excited and terrified to be doing it "
5G (the future replacements part) is definitely dead.
also
" Hey! Thanks a lot. Doomsday Clock DOES play a big part in Death Metal. Nothing we do will change the (amazing) events of that book, but the effects of Manhattan's actions reverberate throughout the start of the story. Th goal with Death Metal is to say - look, DC has had all these great stories from long ago to just this year, but (if we're being honest) we've become too disconnected in out continuity. Black Label, other imprints, it's great to have standalone stories. But in mainline DC, it's become hard to tell what our history is, what connects. The post it on my computer for Death Metal is "everything matters" and our goal is reward you guys for your years of dedication and passion for these characters and stories by honoring as much as we can of the past, while blasting forward in the most fun way possible "
" I'd love to write a real run on Wonder Woman someday. I have a story I've been dying to do. But also Dr Fate. Marvel wise, I have a bog Captain America story I've been wanting to write forever. And a Hulk epic called "smash everything" that I hope to write one day. And a Wolverine idea… One day! "
I bet he's gonna branch out after Death Metal.
" I mean, there's no topping Stephen King, man. There was no getting over it. He was a blast, too - he was funny as hell, always messing with us on American Vampire by writing a script and then having Skinner or Pearl turn into a bat or mist or something at the end and I'd get all nervous about having to tell Stephen King our vampires didn't work that way, and so I'd build up my courage, get him on the phone and he'd be like, "Scott, I was just ■■■■■■' with ya." "
I would read runs of those comics written by Snyder in a heartbeat.
I changed "it's a" (specific) to "there's" (general) cause I haven't actually watched the show.
I read the first two parts of Batman: Damned for his art so cowboy Frankenstein would be a slam dunk.
Have more tact than this to other members of the community, please?
Sure, but again, they shouldn't get a free pass on making a general criticism of a specific product. It's disingenuous as hell.
I will, when they don't parrot dogwhistles from anti-inclusion shitposters.
What are you even talking about? He was making a joke based on the shitty way representation tends to be handled by these companies. I'm a queer woman, and he's definitely on my side. He would never "parrot anti-inclusion shitposters".
eh, no worries. Tone doesn't come across well on the internet and I guess I don't tend to pay too much attention to how my posts might sound in this thread.
We were discussing this exact problem (harley/ivy) here in last month's thread so I was just trying to riff off that.
DC's DC Universe Twitter account poster this for Valentine's Day. Textbook example of failing to read the room.
Remember when Harley abandoned her friends, murdered and manipulated people in an expert fashion to get back into Arkham Asylum to murder Joker (including bringing up to Cash that Joker killed his baby by giving him tetanus), only to NOT kill Joker and instead help him lead a mass riot which ended in a shit ton of deaths?
Boy Sirens went off the rails, huh?

The co owner of DCBS/IST has an interview on the 11 o clock comics podcast. I havent finished is yet, but she makes it sound like she thinks if Diamond doesnt start shipping soon and reopen their warehouse, Penguin or one of the other book publishers is going to take their place, maybe for good. Diamond is the only book publisher that isnt shipping right now, and the stores like hers that are open are not happy.
The only reason IST can do those amazing deals is 'cus they're right next to Diamond, right? At least that's what I've heard before.
Yeah, sorry to you too, specifically. Admittedly I was already worked up from another thread I was working on and I think you caught some of that. I'm just really over the 'messaging cynicism' I see a lot on Reddit, but I shouldn't have assumed you were parroting them.
Hahahaha. Eh, just been tired of some of the site's...quirks lately, and hit a boiling point. Sorry for taking it out on you guys.
Every time I see a dumb post I just put that person on ignore.
Save yourself some time and use the "ignore forum" button.
