Would anyone happen to have The Question: Zen and Violence? I've looked all over and can't seem to find it.

>>5775
Does anyone have any of The Question? I've been wanting to read some of the stuff, none of that newer shit though.

Hi hi.

Could anyone be kind enough to upload Marvel Civil War 054-106.rar to rapidshare? I'm in China right now and their internet is blocking Megaupload, amongst everything else that reminds me of the west.

This series is pretty damn good but it has me hanging. Will be indebted to you.

>>5800
Really? I've never heard that before.
The fables were the original inhabitants though so that would make them Palestinian. Unless you mean that the fable outpost in america is Israel?

If this is true then it will annoy me greatly.

>>5826
The writer admitted it at some point, saying he was "just rabidly pro-Israel"... I don't know if it's an exact parallel of the real world but the way I see it, they were exiled from the Homelands (Israel) by the Adversary (Palestine and other Arab nations) so they've been living in diaspora communities like the one in New York (which incidentally is the largest Jewish community on Earth). But they get harassed by their old enemies everywhere they go, so they want to resettle in the Homelands, except the Adversary doesn't want to let them, etc.

It's not so much the basis in reality that bugs me, more the fact that the good guys are all brilliant and virtuous and their enemies are pure evil, not to mention pretty incompetent and stupid at times. Like, if it IS an allegory, then they kind of shit on the Arab states, despite the fact that they often have pretty defensible motives in the real world.

>>5830
Except that when they finally declare war on the adversary, Fabletown allies with a bunch of Arabians. The only Israel parallel I saw was when Bigby compared Fabletown to Israel at one point. Even then, it seemed to be used more as a parallel for Israel as a homeland for wayward jews after WWII, than anything else.

>>5830

>they were exiled from the Homelands (Israel) by the Adversary (Palestine and other Arab nations)

Except the way I see it, it's kinda the other way around -- Palestine was an Arabian land, and then Jews, led by Moses, thought "Here's a nice piece of land, let's all move in and the hell with the original inhabitants." This has also happened in recent times -- pic related.

>>5834

> Jews, led by Moses,

According to Jewish Mythology, they were actually returning home after being enslaved in Egypt.

That planet looks suspiciously like Earth.

>>5811
My god your right.

erm, this seems pretty interesting. What comic is this?

>>5823
It's the prologue to Skaar Son of Hulk.

He's eating a hotdog. I had a hotdog, once.

with this one

>>5022

also, Tank Girl.

either deadpool or tank girl. or maybe alfred. we'll bitch about how wayne is so needy and needs to smoke moar, and maybe lacing his shit with lsd and blame it on the joker

>>5024 OR the punisher......

>>5840
He would fuck you up.

Awesome show, embodies the majority of the internets childhood.

I support every post in this thread.

90s Marvel and DC cartoons were the shit. I can't think of one that wasn't fuckwin.

When I was younger, I didn't watch the show because it was "too real" for me. I have no idea what I was thinking back then, and if I could see myself back then I would kick my own ass.

THIS ONES FOR YOU MORPHH!!!!! AAARRRRGGGGLLLLAARRRGGGGHHHHHHHAAAAHHHRRRHHHHHGGGHHHHHAAHHHHHHHHRRRRRGGHHHHhhhhhhhhh..........

>Why is it that manga is respected and read by every age group in japanese society

I don't think it is. I think people who read a lot of comics in japan are still considered social outcasts lol

>>5771 >>5807
Where the fuck do you live that reading comics makes you a social outcast?

>>5808
The good old days when comic books had ads for D&D and fantasy based NES games instead of Disney Channel and Foot Locker.

>>5807

No.

Just no. For fuck's sake.

Yes there are otaku in Japan who are social outcasts, and yes a lot of them are highly into the whole manga-anime-video game scene, but manga itself doesn't have a whole lot of stigma (except manga with subject matter that are obviously going to raise a few eyebrows like Kodomo no Jikan). Period. End of story. We can't proceed anywhere unless this is accepted as a factual premise, because that's what it is.

my theory
western comics started out as entertainment for young boys. This obviously changed but the association remains.
Manga was for kids and adults, as there have always been manga with adult themes (violence and complex/long storylines)

the format also makes a difference (magazine vs book)

marvel masterworks

If you have the money, Omnibuses. The idea of Essentials is that they print old stories cheaply

They usually only have the ones that are essential and if they were in color they'd be way more expensive.

I love this dude's comics but I don't know his name

>>5701
I have a whole ton of those, I don't know if he has a website or anything but I couldn't read it anyway since it would be in korean.

Does anyone have Herogasm 6 / The Boys 35 yet? I think they were both released today, but they're not on any torrent sites yet. Or mycomicpost.com. Any help?

Anybody got Herogasm 6 / The Boys 36 yet? Both are out today, apparently.

Oops. Accidental sage and double post. How embarrassing.

ehhh, I think it has it's moments, it's interesting to see how fucked up they can make the stuff that happens in that universe, like the st patricks day issue.

>>5817

Yeah, it's definitely a bit hit-and-miss. I expected a lot more from the last issue of that Payback arc. Stormfront somehow didn't end up being nearly as scary as I had expected him to be. Shame.

Still no joy finding scans of the last Herogasm and The Boys 36...

>Carnage is timeless compared to the bright rainbow-coloured faggot heroes from the '80s and the metrosexual faggot heroes from the present.

Sorry, bro.. but, uh, you don't really know a whole lot about comics, do you?

>>5688

I was just over-simplifying and generalizing like that fella did with Carnage. You can sum up pretty much every character with a few terms, but that doesn't mean it's correct.
In fact, everything can be put into a little box. But who gives a shit.

Carnage is boss.

80's fags want revenge on the 90's market for crashing comics so they crap on everything that happened in the nineties. Don't listen to these people.

Maximum Carnage was fun it was awesome read for yourself and judge.

For shame guys, he comes here seeking knowledge and answers from him and the best we have is HURR DURR CARNAGE SUCKS, MAX CARNAGE SUCKS!

Just give him the god damn link then when he posts his reaction to it you express your opinion.

Here, enjoy friend

>>5636

I think I have everything of Hellboy and BPRD. Tomorrow I'll upload it.

I already requested this in that other thread, but, here goes again. I'm looking for X-factor issues 33 to today. Much appreciated.

>>5765
I'll go check my back issues and see what I have

>>5769
Thanks, even if you don't find em.

/r/ing any star wars plz

Comics from b4 WWII are worth more because they are rare. Paper was being recycled and many comics were the victim of it. Comics after WWII are too common and are therefor not as sought after.

>>5379

Post WWII comics still have quite a lot that has some demand (even then the idea of keeping every comic wasn't done that often). EC stuff, early Marvels, Silver Age DC debuts, and so on.

It's when you get into the 1980's stuff that there's lots and lots of fucking copies of things since comic shops started springing up around that time, and would store back issues.

>>5065
how about a little salt on that wound?
