A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

Why does he look less like he’s going into a fight and more like he’s doing a dance number

Also he murders the mutant leader? What is this comic even?

He also kills the Joker. And Superman kills him, under orders from Ronald Reagan It's a very dark take.

spoilerHe didn't kill the Joker. It's a pretty important plot point that despite psyching himself up to finally do it, he's still unable and the Joker somehow finishes off his neck break and taunts him that even though he couldn't do it, everyone will think he did.

It's almost fifty years old.

It's 38. And it doesn't cost me anything to mark spoilers. If one person who hasn't read it is spared being spoiled then it was worth it. If not, it only took 5 seconds.

Wow, the jokers final trick worked on me! I had totally forgotten that.

Superman also doesn't kill him, he faked his death and superman figured out at the end, but decided to ignore it.

that's just semantics. they fought, batman died (literally, according to some definitions of death), superman believed he had caused it - as he intended. Superman killed Batman.

He didn't kill the mutant leader, but his thorough takedown of him destroyed the Mutants as a group.
