I'm aware of it- I read a lot of it and then stopped. There's so much of it.

Hold on just a fucking second here. Data is using contractions.Fortunately Locutus and Data can create Iron Man suits from the walls for themselves using their Magneto powers,
He's consistent with his themes, that's for sure.

Nope, nope, nope.
Nope.
Yeah, only for Wolverine to regenerate and kill Hulk from the inside.
But...womanizing "dad being dad" is somehow drawn lovingly supporting the woman he had a fling with who wants a termination because he's married? And she locked down hard on some poor random woman's uterus who's then conveniently used for her purpose and thrown away for a dramatic panel. I'm obviously missing the rest of the story, so maybe it is pretty good, but it rubs me the wrong way (probably because I just had a baby). But that seems to be his thing. Nice art, though.
I'll just say I won't post it here because it's pretty gruesome.
Hey this is America. Extreme violence is fine and dandy. Just no sex.
What is with writers having Hulk fight Wolverine? There is no reason Wolverine should ever last more than a minute against him.
there was a villain named Tenfingers in Daredevil. His thing is that he has ten fingers on each hand
these are his guns

A sentient dimension that gave her and Angel powers so that they could conceive it. The plan also involved turning Angel evil for some reason.

But like, why?
What's the point of having 10 triggers on a gun?
Especially one with a single barrel
How was that even cool?
This is suppose to be the Punisher's greatest villain, huh?
Taken out by Eminem.
IIRC, Barracuda is still alive, and/or the comics in which he dies are non-canon, like Space: Punisher.
In Grant Morrison's six (maybe longer?) year run on Batman comics, which I might add may be my favorite run on comics of all time, had a pivotal moment where Batman died. Twice. But not really. Neither time.
So G-Mo had two events running consecutively one after the other, Batman RIP and Final Crisis. Both were billed as featuring the death of Batman, which led into Dick Grayson taking over as Batman for a time with Damian Wayne as Robin (which was fantastic).
Batman RIP ends with Batman having fought Maybe-the-Devil™ in a helicopter and falling to his demise, only for him to appear like a week later in Final Crisis fine and dandy and solving a mystery of dead space gods. Only to then get kidnapped again and blasted by Darkseid's Omega Sanction and turned into a skeleton.
Canonically, he survived the helicopter crash, which if I remember was explained in neither of the two previously mentioned comics, and then really didn't even die from Darkseid's beams but instead was trapped in a time jumping from the events of one total eclipse to another throughout history.
It was good-ass comics but man was it dumb that he didn't die in a comic called RIP and that Final Crisis was in fact not even that Final of a Crisis.

This is how I understand it but anyone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Sim was THE name in independent comics in the 80s. He was the guy that kinda showed everyone how it could be done, from starting his own self-published comic and getting it distributed nationwide to compiling the issues into "phone books," large collections of previous issues to keep the story available to others. Sim was allowing Cerebus to show up in other indies to help their comics, he was paying tabs for other writers, he was donating appearance fees from bigger publishers, like he was what independent comics were. He wasn't trying to secure licensing deals for big movies or toy lines, he was making his comic because that's what he wanted to make. The early phone books, from Cerebus to Church & State II at minimum, but you could easily include Jaka's Story too, are some of the best comics I've ever read but I can't recommend anyone else read them because of what Dave Sim turned out to be.
Cerebus was always a reflection of Sim though, and Sim was never the most stable guy. Early on in the book's run, he was doing a dangerous amount of drugs and had to be hospitalized after taking a lot of LSD. It was during this time that he decided Cerebus was gonna run for exactly 300 issues, so he wasn't going to do ever be exactly "normal." He later turned out to be a giant, giant misogynist who absolutely hates women, which became clear with that wacko essay in issue #186. He tries to use old "I don't hate women, I'm anti-feminist" canard too. Like he really is the ur-Incel kinda guy. He even used to make people sign a contract that said "Dave Sim does not hate women" if they wanted to interview him. I think all of this came to a head after his wife left him and she has a book about him. I haven't read it but there might be some information there.
So after it turns out Sim sucks as a dude and he revealed it by making his awfulness a part of his work, it poisoned everything. His 300 issue epic that ran for decades was tarnished. Something that was the epitome of the DIY attitude of the indie scene and what can be done if you want to do it gets ruined because the dude is an unstable asshole. He finished all 300 issues but very few people were reading it by the end.
Not responding to anyone in particular, but I do find it morbidly amusing that a villain like The Joker is allowed to do all sorts of heinously violent shit, including a storyline where he attempted to murder actual babies.
But phew, good thing he never raped anyone, because that would be going too far.
Also reminds me of a time when the creators of Freddy Krueger had to explicitly state that he wasn't a child molester, just someone who liked to brutally murder children. "Phew, what a relief!"
Kind of worked. The idea of Joker as any kind of sexual creature feels ridiculous to me.

this villain would love resonnance of fate :
Holy shit hahahhaha thank you for that. He's just a simple dinosaur wanting to get some dinosaur friends
This is so dumb and stupid and perfect. I love it.
I have no prior knowledge so this is actually a complete guessNo context presented. Use your imagination.
The black suit is corrupting spidey and Daredevil comes up with a plan that involves him dressing up as Kingpin to trick spiderman into seeing the errors of his ways! How exactly he was going to do that by dressing up as Kingpin idk
A simple dinosaur named Sauron that decided he was so evil he named himself after the Lord of the Rings character.
Wrong it was actually Mike Murdock Matt evil twin brother that Matt made up so people wouldn't suspect him of being daredevil and then killed his fake twin brother after his girlfriend fell in love with Mike
A simple dinosaur named Sauron that decided he was so evil he named himself after the Lord of the Rings character.
please tell me this is real
And the reason he's a dinosaur?A simple dinosaur named Sauron that decided he was so evil he named himself after the Lord of the Rings character.
Well, the Comic Code didn't let you have vampires unless it was Dracula, so they said "Ok he's not a vampire, he's now a fucking dinosaur that feeds on Mutant Power".
He's consistent with his themes, that's for sure.

What. The. Fuck.
Thanos likes losing and I'm pretty sure that wasn't a serious comic but makes for good memes
He made an earthquake with it.
It's from an Electric Company tie in comic for kids in the 80s. Really not supposed to take it seriously.
It would be like posting an image of Squirrel girl beating Thanos and using as an example of comics are dumb
I'm pretty sure Joker has had sex with Harley at least. Heavily implied in Batman TAS, and she got her pregnant in the Injustice comics. I'm not sure if he has in the main continuity but probably.
I saw so many fans saying this will be or should be the ending of infinity war or part 2. It makes me lose faith in people every time
