The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

[Herald]

Also for the wannabe Herald poster known as Punchy, I made a post recommending Phonogram 81 days before you ever even mentioned the comic on Old Rama.

You sir are a poser of the worst sort.

Now, now. It's not Punchy's fault that he's not as intelligent as I am.
Some people come by this naturally; others... lag behind.

With a TON of daily practice, he might achieve these heights in a few decades.
"Rome wasn't built in a day", you know...

of course. they don't want to be grouped with the same people that made us suffer through lorna and weird worlds

If I hadn't even hit puberty yet and was still one of the premier members of the board with a cult following and proven to spark debate where ever I go, I would have to be a child genius.

So either I'm a genius, or I'm old enough to wank. The balls in your court.

In America we call that his mouth, not his "court".

[Starlord]

Apparently "court" is British teen slang for "mouth"?

Beat me to it!

Johns and Bendis are two peas in a pod, just none of you can bring yourselves to admit how similar their writing is. In fact they are so alike, I am going to refer to them both as "Johndis" from now on.

Which rhymes with jaundice.

This is the funniest post in this thread so far! The truth does hurt.

I should read this again and try to catch up on reviews.

Bendis' earlier work which includes two of the best runs ever on superhero books, as well as his none superhero work elevate him above Johns. Furthermore Bendis looks towards the future (killing Alpha Flight, his new Avengers, Ultimate Spider-man) whereas Johns is preocupied with the past (fear bug, Hal Jordan, Barry as Flash).

A typical Bendis retcon (e.g the Illuminati or Beyonder) will often contradict continuity, but provide interesting new ideas to propel the universe forward. Johns retcons (supermans origin or Yellow fear bug) will be there to reset things to the status quo and how they were originally.

Hence why a lot of older fans love Johns and hate Bendis. Johns will bring characters back constantly, and always look to please character fanboys. Bendis often ignores continuity and characters to make a story stronger which will piss off character fanboys.

Apart from that they're both on major titles with a lot of free reign, but also restricted as they are the companies flagship, and don't want to lose too many readers. Johns GL has descended into a mockery as it's just different coloured lanterns fighting, whereas Bendis' Avengers seems to be tying in to much to the past whilst playing fast and lose with continuity.

That was remarkably coherent and possibly almost entirely free of ridiculously-grandiose claims.

Who did you get to post that?
