^^^ i'd say he's the worst writer in comics that consistently gets put on high profile projects...his shit, especially lately (hulk, ultimates 3, ultimatum") strikes me as a pre-teen that thinks he's being provocative (blob eating wasp and then giant man biting blob's head off? seriously? that's a 9 year old playing with action figures not good writing)
he did write some killer batman stuff (long halloween, dark victory, haunted knight) but that's the only thing i can think of that i could stomach from him. his dialogue is banal and the plotting is always poorly thought out.
dusk, i'm working on scripts too, we need to build
im pretty focused on something im writing right now, personal shit....im (unfortunately) writing like 3 scripts at the same time
^^^no that's cool sounds about like what i'm dealing with lol
re-reading morisson's batman run right now, it's very inconsistent, there are some individual issues that are brilliant though, like the joker prose story, the club of heroes, 'joe chill in hell'...there are moments where it has the feel of a philip k dick novel or a david lynch movie, tony daniel's art in the later issues kind of let it down though, he's a good enough artist but not weird enough to capture the feel of what morrison was doing, jh williams iii should've done the art on the whole run
ya
the rip was good but his whole run seemed blah then they started talkin shit about how the whole run was to set rip up... I think that cat was feelin himself in his interviews and shit.
yall get down on geoff johns or however you spell his name?
^^^haven't read enough to say really, i read some of his superman stuff with gary frank (superman and the legion of superheroes and the braniac story, have those as hardcovers) and liked it, that's about all i've read other than flash rebirth #1 which i didn't care for.
wow comics are my new guilty pleasure ! finished reading my 2 series and i want to buy a joker's serie, anybody can suggest me a good one ? (idk if theyre called series but wtv you guys get the point)
the killing joke, the man who laughs...etc.
holy shit, you weren't joking hahaha. my amazing spider-man omnibus came in today. its heavy as fuck, like twice the size of my bible hahahaQuote:

enjoy your reading, the first few issues are corny, but once ditko starts co-plotting and the subplots get cooking, it's really involving...issues 31-33 are undisputed classicsQuote:

"i warned you about overconfidence a million times angel! now you have your back turned and i am throwing another trap at you which you will see almost too late!"
"oh my god i am turning around now and am seeing a trap that the prof threw at me unexpectedly and now i am going to dodge it using my incredible maneuvrability. yes, i dodged the professor's unexpected trap using my maneuvrability but i almost saw it too late so i should try not to be so confident."
^^every first six pages of the first 10 issues
but im up to the sentinels saga now, and its getting less and less corny every issue. stories are getting better, and they're starting to build some background for the characters which is great. dialogue is improving too, thank god haha. its cool to see the progression in quality from the first issues.
