Dr. Manhattan owns. I didn't mind Fear Before 5 years ago, but now, meh. Heavy Heavy Low Low needs to shut up and go away and possible die or get hurt real bad or get bad stomach aches and cry all night.

MattRamone (November 17, 2008)

I hope Ozymandias shows up with a giant squid.

brown (November 17, 2008)

why not just transport them to mars?

Misanthropee (November 18, 2008)

Not in the shit movie coming out next year, he doesn't...

JayTee (November 17, 2008)

I absolutely refuse to ever read or see Watchmen.

Thousands of pretentious man-children HAVE to be wrong.

SkolarX (November 17, 2008)

i say this as someone with probably 15-20 comic book tattoos, i completely agree. i think i might be one of the few people i know who has never read the watchmen

JayTee (November 17, 2008)

Thank god I'm not the only one!

I don't worship Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Frank Miller, or any of the other deconstructionist primma donna writers that today's dwindling fan-man readership does.

Give me Stan Lee's Silver Surfer or Spider-Man ANY day of the week over that bullshit.

branden (November 17, 2008)

grant morrison is so awesome. i don't see why you cant read silver surfer and read the filth and enjoy both. seriously man, youre bein crazy here. stop being crazy.

MattRamone (November 17, 2008)

Backed. And Frank Miller is awesome, despite the sexism. This is probably the only time I will say this out loud.

MattRamone (November 17, 2008)

Backed. And Frank Miller is awesome, despite the sexism. This is probably the only time I will say this out loud.

Cheesetits (November 17, 2008)

If it wasn't for Frank Miller, you would be dead.

Scruffy (November 17, 2008)

Read WE3. Then try and say Morrison is bad.

el_matt (November 17, 2008)

Watchmen is awesome, but only after the second read. The first time around, you'll be too confused.

MattRamone (November 17, 2008)

When someone labels a group pretentious, it usually means that they are the pretentious one. It's something you just can't be right with.
So, I guess by my own rule I'm pretentious.

MattRamone (November 17, 2008)

Pitchfork sucks.

RRK (November 17, 2008)

Amen, brother.

JayTee (November 17, 2008)

Fair enough and all, but I take it you are unfamiliar with aging comicbook fans and Alan Moore. I'm serious, you'd be singing a different tune.

MattRamone (November 17, 2008)

Alan Moore usually fails in the third act.

From Hell was great until the end. I didn't even make it halfway through V for Vendetta. And the Killing Joke was only so-so for me because he can't write Batman AT ALL.

JayTee (November 17, 2008)

Indeed! It's sad that DC tried to make that the Joker's OFFICIAL origin for a long time too.

Failed comedian with a family my ass.

MattRamone (November 17, 2008)

One of the things I LOVED about the Dark Knight is that they made the Joker have no real origin. He works best when he's an agent of anarchy and chaos, and humanizing him takes away his power as a character.

Also, Batman would not stand there and laugh at one of the Joker's lame jokes before shrugging and hauling him off to jail. Batman doesn't laugh, and he punches first, asks questions later. Alan Moore didn't really get the characters or why they're perfect foils.

el_matt (November 17, 2008)

The ending page of the Killing Joke was open to interpretation. Some people think it means that Batman killed the Joker at the end, that's why they both went quiet.

branden (November 17, 2008)

i didnt really like david lloyd or eddie campbells artwork that much, but from hell and v for vendetta were both good stories. killing joke i liked, but its too short to have much of an impact.

i absolutely love his swamp thing stuff.

Holy_Balls (November 17, 2008)

if there is a hot chick in watchmen, i will watch it.

MattRamone (November 17, 2008)

Cheesetits (November 17, 2008)

But guys, what about Fear Before?

victim (November 17, 2008)

I think they're pretty good, the crap they take on this site notwithstanding

Scruffy (November 17, 2008)

Wow. Seriously, read it. I liked it okay when I first read it eight years ago. I'm rereading it now, and it is nothing short of amazing. I am not a fan of anything else Moore has done, and while Watchmen and Miller's Dark Knight Returns are directly responsible for years of "dark," troubled, violent, antihero crap, both books are some of the best comics ever written. Stop being reactionary.

victim (November 17, 2008)

I don't know about Moore's fanbase, but I can easily see your point on that subject.

I haven't read it either and probably won't see the movie, but mainly for lack of interest. I am just not that captivated by the idea.

But all of my favorite comics were in the mid-90s and I was never inclined to psychoanalyze characters or anything like that. Nor did I consider any of it "great art". That may put me at odds with comics readers today.

MattRamone (November 17, 2008)

Having re-read some of them, the X-men in the early ot mid-90's were the worst ever things to happen to comics.

el_matt (November 17, 2008)

Early to mid-90's is the lowest point of the comic industry.

MattRamone (November 17, 2008)

Ironically enough, it was probably also its most financial succesful period. Discuss.

branden (November 17, 2008)

heavy heavy low low are amazing. so glad this is coming to chicago.

WYOR (November 17, 2008)

I hate Dr. Manhattan.
Total dicks.

MattRamone (November 17, 2008)

Go on.

reedard (November 17, 2008)

explain yourself boy.
as ive toured with them before, i can only say they've never done anything dickish. maybe the sarcasm gets laid on a wee bit thick or the idiocy can get to some, but "dicks"? i respectfully disagree.

Holy_Balls (November 17, 2008)

Dr. Manhattan are dead to you.

but i am bitten by the curious bug on why you think they are dicks.

HeyBarmold (November 18, 2008)

Fear Before is playing the Outhouse.

My band plays at the outhouse.

My band is as big as Fear Before?

Lesterfangs (November 18, 2008)

FEAR BEFORE

Bands who shorten their name are gay

speerman (November 19, 2008)
