It's definitely difficult which is why the best examples are recognized as such. Try something limited like All Star Superman, it's only 12 issues and it's fantastic.
Anyone remember the book "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way"? It contained some good drawing foundations for one to build upon, and also provided young comics readers some insight into how a comic book was made.
More than a few comics artists took the advice it gives to heart, particularly this gem from the chapter on "action":
Now let's see this in practice, with some of Marvel Comics' leading men of science!
...
With great power comes great responsibility. And problems. Troubled by clones? Don't know how to discuss the nuances of the subject with your beloved wife? Not an issue for Peter Parker, co-inventor of the Spider-Mobile!
Format is one thing, but the sheer volume of comic content adds another layer of difficult. These guys had to write a lot of comics and they had to do it with deadlines. After a few months they had to be running out of ideas, so they just let the imagination go wild and start writing whatever they come up with. They had no time to fine tune or rewrite. They just pumped out the first thing they could think of. That's going to create a lot of dumb stuff.
Which reminds me of Lobo, who creates clones by regenerating his blood.
WHICH REMINDS ME of the most dumb moment in the entire history of comics.
So here is a little context.
In the middle of the 90's Marvel and DC made the DC vs Marvel comic event which not only created the Almagam Universe which is the best thing comics ever did for both the best and worst reasons, but they also made some kind of fighting tourney between their characters.
The problem was that it was not an actual writers understanding which character would win, it was a fucking popularity contest.
So we have this one that is Lobo vs Wolverine .. and Lobo would win because he is a joke character so he is super broken but not only that would make this dumb, but what makes it dumb is that the most ferocious characters active will fight and THIS is what you get
you ... simply don't see the fight
Skeleton? Pshhht he regenerated from a single drop of blood once
At least this came out of it
I love how the constant sliding scale of time that Western comics use, has lead to modern day Spider-man apparently going to college in the 60s.I kind of love this one really dumb moment :
If only because it gave us this :
I never read the comic or ever seen the page but based on pop culture osmosis I know it's Mark MillarBehold
It's dumb,but i'm not gonna lie, this shit is so damn quotable.STANDING
ON THE EEEEEDGE
Are we sure this wasn't a parodySTANDING
ON THE EEEEEDGE
Behold
Mark Millar's Nemesis
Manga can be weird too. I bet Bleach alone would take up half of this thread.
Didn't see it when I searched the thread but anyone mention when Archangel fucked his girlfriend Husk in mid air in front of her mother?
The guy catching the dress is Wolverine.
Remember when the Catholic Church puts a hit out on Wolverine, sending Dogma The Patron Saint of Assassins after him?
Also somehow every other religion will collapse because reasons and flock to the new church even though the marvel earth gets invaded by aliens and something demons or space gods every other week
Doomwank does get annoying as fuck at timesThe moment where the Panther God gives Dr. Doom the biggest fan wank of all time:
If you're still looking for the answer, it's from Injustice 2
this sn't too dumb, this is awesome.If you're still looking for the answer, it's from Injustice 2
Remember when Buffy got Superman powers and used them to have sex so hard she caused an Earthquake across the entire Arctic Ocean, smash through a mountain and then have an orgasm in orbit of the Earth?
Y'know...
