about to mute this one because people have once again presumed i use twitter to have any sort of a conversation let alone debate

the twitter auto-translate function seems to be leading us to the third world war

even with the myriad ways he was fucked over by the comics industry, alan moore really lucked out that his loudest and most persistent critics for 40 years have been adult fans of superheroes, just a lion lazily swatting away gnats with his tail

i feel like i must have read this at the time and then completely forgot, but either way 30 years later rivers being a big joe matt fan is a real "mr. policeman i gave you all the clues" situation

Insane to make that Fugazi comparison to Cerebus considering this came out AFTER the "female void" stuff. Lol!

funny how the current version of this site is making me meaner and angrier than ever, but i'm also probably posting less than ever, so it probably evens out

if there's been a point to twitter since (at least) 2020 it's probably been arguing, but it's much harder to argue when most of the people saying the annoying shit are either literal children or close enough

"For fans of Bolaño and Houellebecq" RIYL: beloved and the turner diaries
Dalkey Archive Press@Dalkey_ArchiveOct 16
A work of pitch black noir set in a Spanish underworld where crime, art, and metaphysics meet. For fans of Bolaño and Houellebecq, THE STARS is Carlos Maleno’s best and most ambitious novel yet.

comics vs. manga always essentially boils down to two groups fighting over which nation has the best YA books, but also there are probably more US comics readers who know about yoshiharu tsuge or kuniko tsurita than US manga readers who know about gary panter or lale westvind

the audience for anything actually interesting (and actually aimed at adults, rather than just more seinen melodrama or direct market genre junk) in both comics and manga was and remains extremely small, most of what's produced is mediocre or worse, true for anything

i have also read a lot of crappy comics (from many countries) and crappy manga, and it's fine, another minor soothing distraction on the way to the grave

idly scrolling the replies/quotes to this and getting a real "there's probably no actual hope for the US" style headache

obviously just one strand among many in the current predicament but not a great feeling to see thousands of bootlicking imbeciles clapping like seals while the richest man on the planet does the tech industry version of stupid pet tricks

many replies (especially to the quotes) claiming the right is path to economic prosperity. buddy a turkey sandwich costs approx. $900 right now, the spending power of the US dollar is probably the last thing you want to use to prop up your rickety ideology

i have no particular hope (based on being alive for many decades) that the democrats are going to staunch the bleeding if/when they return to power, but j.d. vance telling half or more of america to start boiling their shoe leather like depression era hobos is also not the way

this looks mediocre at best but it's always hilarious to me how this comic turns 20 year old superhero fans into amateur mary whitehouses. "this comic is evil, it shouldn't be adapted!" it's a mean-spirited parody of the 00s zombie boom, complete non-issue, wrap it up etc.
Carnival of Horror
@HorrorCarnivalOct 8
🚨 The nightmare is finally coming to life! 😈🩸 CROSSED is bringing one of the most disturbing post-apocalyptic horror comics to the screen. When humanity's darkest impulses run wild, the infected aren't the only thing to fear. Sometimes, the real monsters are still human.

by which i mean the first ennis run. the rest of it (from what i can tell) operates on the basic avatar press logic of there always being a small but enthusiastic audience of guys whose lives were forever changed by seeing the cover art for tomb of the mutilated

also like basically every ennis comic ever written (except the true "just for the paycheck" crap) it's a lot more sentimental than its reputation suggests, the ending of original night of the living dead is arguably bleaker and more misanthropic

i mostly stay out of current punk/hc (certainly emo/pop-punk) discourse on here because i'm damn near 50, but it's always an interesting feeling when music you were "there" for recedes so far into the past that it becomes (at best) abstractly "classic" to current artists/fans

anyway one of the biggest professional bullets i dodged was not having a lukewarm review of welcome to the black parade lurking in the pitchfork archives (it was spiked by mutual agreement) because I'd still probably be getting hate DMs from angry 18 year olds around the globe

Has any good hardcore come out this year? I haven’t heard a single record that moved me yet, I need to get caught up

basic formula for a good hc album: take the number of songs and multiply it by two, total runninng time should be less than the resulting product
