I've been a good boy this week so I deserve THREE comics (or more!) but there are only maybe two I'd actually spend my hard-earned shekels on ...

Speaking of which, (I KNOW "There's no crying in Whitechapel") but I'd be very interested to hear what my Whitechapel brothers and sisters think about Before Watchmen. (NOT the concept, not really even the ethical implications, the actual books themselves. I was somewhat onboard until Kubert died AND THEY PUT A FUCKING AD FOR THIS P.O.S. IN HIS GODDAMN OBITUARY and I'm still outraged over that so I haven't purchased any further 'episodes' since. From what I can tell, I haven't missed much - RORSCHACH was apparently laughably bad & Dr. Manhattan was "meh" at best. I LOVE Darwyn Cooke but MINUTEMEN ... I dunno. It's like watching your sister strip or something. There's something ... off, about it. (Ah, the ethical implications of such a project again!) So yeah, this could be a good forum, rathering than starting a new thread.

1) Do you purchase the Before Watchmen titles? (Or download, whatever. What am I, your priest?) HAVE YOU READ THEM?
2) Do you enjoy them? Hate them? Your thoughts, sirs and ladies, as you are without doubt the finest group of minds ever virtually assembled.]]> Comics on Sale This Week (sept 5) http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10819&Focus=339543#Comment_339543 2012-09-02T19:16:40-07:00 2013-05-21T11:40:53-07:00 ebullientsoul http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=7705 Defenders #10 Dial H #0 Hawkeye #2 Re: Before Watchmen I don't look at or buy the comics.

Watchmen was a complete story, it doesn't need to be expanded upon. I see no problem with them making the series. DC owns the right to the characters which were a direct rip-off inspired by other creators' characters. I looked into them when people first started talking about them and the stories didn't interest me, the creative teams are good but none of them are any creators that I follow closely.

Related Note: I follow creators rather than series. That may make a difference. I know some people that have been getting the Before Watchmen stories because they like the original series / characters and therefore they want to read everything they possibly can about it whereas I'm really only interested in the characters as written by Moore.
That being said, if Moore was writing all of the Before Watchmen stuff, I probably wouldn't buy it unless I liked the ideas that the stores were saying.

Or something like that. I don't know. I'm tired.]]> Comics on Sale This Week (sept 5) http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10819&Focus=339596#Comment_339596 2012-09-04T00:39:14-07:00 2013-05-21T11:40:53-07:00 dok101 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=7187 Before Watchmen Silk Spectre #3 (of 4) Cape 1969 #3 (of 4) Dan the Unharmable #5 Dial H #0 Epic Kill #5 Hell Yeah #5 Lady Death #21 Thief of Thieves #8 Cape 1969 #3 (of 4)

as far as BW: i dont buy or read them. i dont understand why they exist (well, thats not true, i know $$$, but whatever). just like a ebullient said, part of that is the creator treatment, but its mostly because they represent a creative dead end of investing your big talent into books that i dont want to read, filling in old 'gaps'.

I think you've got the right idea about not looking backwards in comics. Often, that's where some of the best stuff comes from. Of the many things I owe Mr. Ellis and Mr. Casey for, its reminding me that the single issues I buy are meant to be disposable. Strange bursts of new ideas or low-fi Futureshit, I suppose.

That said, the majority of the Marvel/DC axis is based on backwards looking or leaning comics. That's not to say there aren't weird things floating around in the ecosystem, but that's not what those ecosystems are for. Those ecosystems are good for a shared universe, which is one of the things I read comics to enjoy.

As for six people posting here, I happened across a half price copy of Bad Signal 2 in July. I can tell you, from reading that, the World Has Changed. You can find more places to talk about comics on the internet and its much easier to find information about those issues and the creators, too.]]> Comics on Sale This Week (sept 5) http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10819&Focus=339697#Comment_339697 2012-09-05T22:09:58-07:00 2013-05-21T11:40:53-07:00 Warped Savant http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=2376 Joe -- Yeah, it's too bad that so few people post in here about comics now...

EDIT: I bought the Prophet trade last week. The art is exceptionally detailed, even if the story is hard to follow. I /think/ I'll tradewait it. Unless there's a particularly good team on an issue. (I don't think I have anything unique to add to the talk about this series.)

I'm bummed that Saga is going on a three month hiatus, but whatever. It'll come back around the time Stumptown wraps up, which is the S comic I'm really interested in.

As for this week, I'm still working through the pile, but-

Hell Yeah!- last issue for me, probably. It concludes the first storyline, but nothing in the previous issues grabbed me. Oh well, I like to give things a chance.

Action Comics- Grant Morrison really needs to do a non-DC Superman clone character, where he can tell all the stories you can see he's got for the character without having to fit it in to whatever screwed-up continuity plan DC has come up with this week.

The Road to Oz- Love Shanower and Young's take on the books.

Black Kiss 2- This issue had a woman sucking off a horse. So that was something.

Hawkeye- I've been trying to find a Matt Fraction book to read, and Hawkeye is it. Two issues in and it's risen straight to the top of my weekly reading pile.

Thief of Thieves- I really liked the first story but there's a writer change happening here. I'll give it a shot, but I wasn't expecting that. Haven't had a chance to read it yet.

Fashion Beast- Haven't had a chance to read this either.

Ultimate Spider-Man- Bendis and Spider-Man are like peanut butter and chocolate.

Archer & Armstrong- The only Valiant book to get my interest. It's a fun read, but it also makes me sad Barry Windsor-Smith doesn't do comics any more.

Dan the Unharmable- The first thing I read this week. This is a vicious bastard of a book but also a ton of fun. The last panel alone was worth the entire price of admission. :)]]> Comics on Sale This Week (sept 5) http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10819&Focus=339724#Comment_339724 2012-09-06T08:47:20-07:00 2013-05-21T11:40:53-07:00 joe.distort http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1173 What do the rest of you say? works for me im currently re-reading GLORY because the trade came out and i love this. im pretty sure GLORY, SAGA, and FATALE are all taking a skip month or two ...

im currently re-reading GLORY because the trade came out and i love this. im pretty sure GLORY, SAGA, and FATALE are all taking a skip month or two :(

also going through ABSOLUTE PROMETHEA...i fell into a bit of money and, after being responsible and using it on things An Adult Would, i grabbed these on discount. they are the only Absolutes i own, the format is just wonderful. you guys know how i feel about INVISIBLES, and always considered PROMETHEA to be the only thing that can even hang around the same conversations. after reading it a few years later, in bigger format...i think it may hold up BETTER. the single creative team and lack of outside knowledge needed to get everything out of it helps this to be a more cohesive work (albeit with a similar overall message).]]> Comics on Sale This Week (sept 5) http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10819&Focus=339729#Comment_339729 2012-09-06T10:23:44-07:00 2013-05-21T11:40:53-07:00 AtomicSloth http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=390 I do read this thread every week to keep up date with whats coming out and what other people are digging, but I never post here because I tend not to read a comic every month as it comes out. I ... I either tradewait (Saga and Prophet (Brandon Graham's previous book King City, possibly the best comic book I own) top of my to-buy list atm, but I'm constantly broke so it can be years before I get to catch up on a great new series) or I *cough*pirate*cough* the issues.
Even then I wait until a sizeable story arc has been released before I read it.

I try to keep the... downloading to Marvel/DC non-creator owned etc and stuff that, if I didn't have access to scans, I probably wouldn't buy anyway: new writers, old stuff, genres I wouldn't normally try etc.

Having said all that I wont even download pirate scans of Before Watchmen, the whole thing disgusts me (rich I know coming from a guy getting hundreds of comics for free constantly). I'm sad to see Brian Azzarello on it, since he can be a genuinely great creator and writer on his own. Darwyn Cooke I usually love, but then his whole schtick is adapting other people's work.

Anything by Hickman I usually love. A big omnibus of the whole of his Fantastic Four/FF run would be one of the few company superhero comic books I would pay good money for. I constantly tell people that Hickman's FF and Uncanny X-Force (though I'm behind on both of them) are the best, and most essential things at Marvel for years. Love Hickman's The Nightly News and Pax Romana too.

I keep meaning to check out Morning Glories, seems interesting.

I miss Daredevil as well, Joe. I quit on almost everything superhero when everything went all 'renumbered'. I enjoyed DD, as the title seemed to be left out of the crossover/event stuff, but then it, too, got swallowed up in crossoverland, and from there, I let it go.

I don't buy many singles and I've recently started getting a few more things in trade... but still, that's pretty much everything I've been posting in my buying reply for the past year or two now...

Everyone that doesn't normally comment -- There's nothing wrong with listing what you're going to pick up eventually / are curious about. That being said, there's nothing wrong with not responding either. But it is nice to hear from you guys...]]> Comics on Sale This Week (sept 5) http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10819&Focus=339808#Comment_339808 2012-09-07T13:50:07-07:00 2013-05-21T11:40:53-07:00 Flabyo http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1306 Have to say I'm enjoying Fraction and Aja back together again doing Hawkeye.

Phonogram

im soooooo scared/excited for the return of this...one of my favorite series of the last decade, but i find myself worried it will cross the threshold of wearing out welcomes/too cute-clever. i have faith, fingers crossed, sigils drawn on 7" labels (seriously...i did the art for a few records, one of the center labels has sigils in it)

DROPPING:
Frankenstein

me too. was really digging this, but i feel the momentum got lost, the art started to look rushed and the ability to read as single issues kinda diminished. will probably check out the third trade, as i just sold 1-12. it started so promising, like a DCU hellboy influenced by morrisonian sci-fi :(]]> Comics on Sale This Week (sept 5) http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10819&Focus=339844#Comment_339844 2012-09-08T21:43:30-07:00 2013-05-21T11:40:53-07:00 ebullientsoul http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=7705 @Joe, Phonogram's gonna be awesome.

Phonogram's gonna be awesome. Gillen's written a bunch of comics now. McKelvie's drawn even more comics now. Shit is gonna be so cash. I mean Euros. Pounds. Whatever. Point is: Everyone's gotten better at what they do, they WANT to tell this story and the history of the comic is based in things that are too clever by half. Gonna be awesome.

Frankenstein, I feel the same way. I don't want to say dropped off, it's still good, but I don't feel like going into Rotworld for three issues and I need to spend less money anyway. I'll take another look at the issues after work tomorrow, but I did notice a change around the 7th or 8th issue of the series that bugged me.]]> Comics on Sale This Week (sept 5) http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10819&Focus=339846#Comment_339846 2012-09-08T22:42:08-07:00 2013-05-21T11:40:53-07:00 James Cunningham http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=2925 I dropped Animal Man for the same reasons regarding crossover.
