In non-Diaz news I guess Paul Levitz is writing a Huntress comic wherein Helena wears her good costume and kicks the shit out of child slavers.

So that's one DC comic I actually kind of want to buy.

fuck

It's cute how Diaz's apparent opinion on what's wrong with superhero comics is that there isn't enough pandering to nerds.

Diaz doesn't know his ass from his elbow when it comes to DC. He's going for a sort of Rocketeer inspired style and it just doesn't work with everything. That and he has a fundamental misunderstanding of most every single DC character. Seriously, how do you fuck up Gorilla Grod?

**Satan's Onion** · 10-08-2011, 10:05 PM

Wait. Why does Lex Luthor look less like Superman's nemesis and more like a professor who gives lots of "extra credit" to co-eds who make "appointments" with him in his car. Why is that.

On topic, very broadly speaking, I just started reading Transmetropolitan. It's pretty awesome.

Huntress was not bad. Like... obviously pretty harsh subject matter and killing dudes but as far as I know Huntress has always pretty much done that. It was a good read anyhow.

I would just like to point out that most criticisms made here of Diaz were actually covered in his write-ups below. For instance, Fifth said "Someone should tell Diaz that his outfit for Superman is already Martian Manhunter's." In his write-up on his Superman outfit he points out something like "it's one half something something, one half Martian Manhunter."

On his write-up for Lex Luthor, he points out that he wants him "to look like Steve Jobs or Bill Gates". Hey, who wore tweedy jackets with leather elbow patches? Steve Jobs.

Not saying these are good! Most of them are pretty terrible. Just that he does indeed explain his designs if you bother to read it.

BTW what is Dresden Codak, anyway? I have never heard of this guy and I think I just heard of Dresden Codak tangentially.

It's a real science fiction webcomic. Great art, questionable panel layout, once in a blue moon update schedule, amusing enough writing when it's not taking itself too seriously, and can be a tad hard to follow at times.

Just the author's kind of a douchebag.

So I read Hawk and Dove, there were only about three instances of horribly malformed feet and a couple of oddly shaped faces with eyes at the wrong height relative to each other, etc. Also the plot was only mildly incomprehensible, the characters only somewhat horrible, only nine instances of gritted teeth.

I think Rob Liefeld is losing his touch.

If you ask me pandering to nerds qua bein' nerds would be a vast improvement of DC's present policy of pandering to nerds qua penises.

I mean let's be honest, if nerds liked the comics they publish they'd sell a hell of a lot more comics than they do now.

My favorite of his reboot posts is "DC reboots Dresden Kodak" because it's the most negative & a couple of years of exposure to Fifthfiend has left me favorably disposed towards unalloyed negativity.
