read BratPack again and. Do u think Cody was disgusted by Karlo's drug and alcohol problem like he was with his parents. Do you think he thought Karlo was weak or pathetic for it. Or do u think that, after everything they lived through, Cody wished he didn't have the morals to stay sober. Do u think he wishes he could be an addict without letting go of everything he is just so he could get through his life as Chippy

I was just rereading Rick Veitch’s Maximortal for the first time in a few years (his follow up was finally completed and i wanted to refresh my memory before diving in) and i was wondering if you were at all familiar with the work and if it was an influence on Uber. Reading it back, while quite different, there’s definitely some structural similarities, using vignettes through a time period to tell an alternate history with super humans with characters weaving in and out.

I've never read Maximortal, but probably should. There's relatively little Veitch in my reading.

Lemme think, i liked The One but i think i appreciated it more in hindsight as presenting ideas that Maximortal expanded upon. Maximortal and Boy Maximortal have been specatcular and i love them a lot. Brat Pack was good but i COMPLETELY disagree with folks who say it’s Veitch’s best work or that you don’t have to worry about any of the other King Hell Heroica stuff. Like it’s a great comic but the things i find most interesting are how it examines a particular era in superhero comic history (mostly the late 80s but you could apply it to the dark age in general) and coupled with its look at the comic industry during that era i think the other stuff in the saga is totally worth checking out. And a lot more pleasant too LOL i was a little 😟 at points in Brat Pack. I know that’s the point but still.

Have you read Maximortal (and the Maximortal/Bratpack special (and Boy Maximortal))?

yep!! maximortal and the super special were such wild rides, tbh- like, bratpack definitely had pretty clear themes, but also a very straightforward narrative approach? but rick deffo went in a more abstract direction with the others, almost closer to crypto zoo in style than bratpack.

2022 comics reading log

In the early days of last year, I was inspired by some twitter mutuals to post my comics reading in the new year and kept it up from Jan 1 2022 till just about the bitter end. Something about it really helped keep me invigorated by the medium even in some pretty bleak times, so I’m going to keep it going this year, but here at Longboxd instead of on twitter, which I'm trying to spend less time at. Before I can do that though, I want to archive the 2022 entries in a spot that’s more permanent/less twitter-iffic, so here we go—pretty much every comic I read in 2022! (As transcribed from here)

Part 1: 1-21 (of 387)

(I can "only" post 30 images at a time here, so that’ll dictate the length of these catch-up posts)

1) Timeless #1 - I mean, Lol at that final page reveal but this was a fun comic. I like Kang stories and this is good Kang.

2)  Service Industry by T Edward Bak

3) Human Target #2

4) Grrrl Scouts Stone Ghost #1

5) Krania #1 by Brian McCray - “I will unmake you” - I sorta wish this was hornier?

6) God Bless The Machine by Connor McCann - A messy dystopian exploration of tech and social media etc that trucks along efficiently, wraps up nicely. Definitely some JTHM energy in the drawings that is chunkily satisfying.

7) Reckless: Friend Of The Devil - A fun read, but didn’t work for me as well as the first. Less "badass/men’s adventure magazine moments"  than in vol one, maybe.

8) Cult Of The Ibis by Daria Tessler - Like Tove Jansson designed the "oh fuck I’m losing it" nightlife montage from your favorite noir movie.

9) Firepower #18

10) Future State: Gotham #7

11) Future State: Gotham #8

12) Rust Belt Review #3 - Very solid anthology that seems firmly targeted at the more "literary" side of alt-comics (though of course there are some rowdy exceptions). 2-3 cartoonists clearly influenced by Sammy H, lots of humanity in the stories. 

13) Tuki vol 1 - It's nice to have a new Jeff Smith comic to enjoy—he's great at this (this being funny/intense/heartfelt adventure comics), it's easy to sorta forget just *how good* until a new book comes out. Glad it's in B/W too.

14) Crisis #53 - The late 80s/early 90s was the best time for big format anthology magazines, great for just flipping through. Random issue of CRISIS has Sean Phillips doing his best McKean/Fregredo, & Steve Whittaker’s colors(!) on these Munoz SINNER pages are interesting (but print muddy).

15) Crisis #54 - This one has a Paul Grist/Mark Millar prison comic.

16) Avengers #98 - They don’t make ‘em like they used to (kind of bad, chaotic, and hard to read)

17) Nightwing: Leaping into the light TPB

18) X-Men #6

19) Human Target #3

20) Boy Maximortal #3 by Rick Veitch - Veitch found a new life in POD publishing in a way that feels like it’s a spiritual sibling to those Ditko/Snyder joints, & we are richer for it. These are uncut Metaphysical Boomer Cape Comics & I love them unreservedly (also the indicia warmed this slow cartoonist’s heart)

21) Ninja Funnies #1 

To be continued!

ugh

okays o

there was a writer and artist who worked for Swamp Thing. Who took over it’s second incarnation after it’s initial author left

I’d put in more details but fuck it.

I just read Bratpack and Maximortal and.

Yeah for series made to be a commentary on the state of comic books and on the treatment of sidekicks?

It’s nothing more than EVERY excess it accuses other people of doing. Hell, it’s all the excesses brought up to the nth degree, horrible behavior and slander and absolutely NOTHING that explains anything.

Because it isn’t a story, it’s a morality play.

And my brain needs bleaching.

Why would anyone praise this shit?
