It doesn't. Which is why his ignorant self is allowed to spew nonsense on the internet. I bet they actually pay him to vent his ego a little on the web so that they have some room to breathe.

... if you see how many crap is churned out, comic-wise, right now by both marvel as well as DC, you do wonder where it all went wrong.

You just have too many different series coming out each month for certain characters/groups. That automatically means you also have a lot of poor writers and artists at work.

Also, there's still the whole 'shock-value' storylines, likes major characters 'dying' just to bring them back from the dead again, plus too many cross-overs and such.

I just want 1 or 2 Batman comics a month, with the best writer(s) and artist(s). Same goes for Superman and Spider-Man etc etc. Cause right now, these stories and characters are all over the place.

Now about Europe, and I assume he's talking mainly about France: Lanfeust of Troy, Black Sad, Largo Winch, and a bunch of other series.... they are EXTREMELY good!

It's amazing to me that Lanfeust hasn't been translated into english yet. Story-wise and design-wise I feel it's easily on par with Lord of the Rings.

I'd love to see Marvel or DC pick up the rights and release it in one of the big hardcover books, including artwork and interviews and such. I'd easily pay 60-80 bucks or something for that.

You're forgetting belgium... mister
Never heard of XIII and Largo Winch, Tintin...?

You forgot the Uk dude, Judge Dredd and The Watchmen come to mind. The latter being regarded by many as the best graphic novel ever.

I think the problem is that I really shouldn't have mentioned France in the first place because they're dwarfed next to USA. But you're right that if I've mentioned France I should probably have remembered Belgium as well.

Watchmen is also one of the biggest standalone releases ever, so UK might've been considered too. Now, apart from that companies like Marvel and DC individually have bigger production lists than pretty much the entire Europe. Especially when talking about super heroes.

I totally agree with you about Ryan Reynolds. He always has to be this sarcastic funny guy. I even hated him as Deadpool, AND I LOOOVE DEADPOOL. He came off as the wrong kind of obnoxious.

Yes, I meant the second Punisher and I forgot to mention Daredevil...there are a lot worse out there if you think about it hard enough.

Yes, I meant the second Punisher. I liked the first one with Thomas Jane and John Travolta.

I liked the one with Thomas Jane too...but they ruined it with the guy in the second one.

Now...I don't agree with you about Iron Man 2...but I love Robert Downey Jr. so maybe that's why I'm protective of him and his movies and all. When he was having all those drug problems I used to worry about him and hope that he'd get help because I thought he was very talented then and he finally did get better.
