    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    I never realised when I first read it just how damn awkward the art style was in the Rock of Ages arc. Has the artist ever seen a human being? Why do they keep tipping over randomly?

    That's actually a good comparison. It's like the artist was awkwardly posing the characters in Garry's Mod. Top panel ffs

    I've never quite understood the source of your ire towards me.

    Interesting parallel to the Flex Mentallo miniseries there. I should re-read this run in full.

    But goddammit now that I've started noticing the stupid leaning contortion people I can't stop

    English not being my mother language, I've never read a lot of comics when I was a child or a teen. And so, I'm sincerely grateful to this thread.

    For showing me I haven't missed anything interesting at all.



    Seriously, what the hell ? How is this entertaining ? I realize that the fact that these superheroes keep existing means that enough people keep buying comics about them, but it doesn't change the fact that they were already undeads 14 years ago. How long are these characters meant to exist ? They never truly change and when they do (as Superman illustrated in this very thread and as the recent DC reboot also illustrated), you can be absolutely sure that it will be reversed, Status Quo being the Law. The stories in which they're the heroes have no meaning whatsoever, because neither the heroes nor the setting are ever meant to change. Everything is pointless, whether its scale be small or large. It's worse than fanfiction, because at least fanfiction doesn't pretend it's coherent.

    And this meaninglessness will go on forever, until the distant day when sales get so low it stops being profitable ? Hell, that is fucking depressing.
    SCO Brofists this.

    Did you read the spoiler? I'm being sarcastic. The Codex needs somebody to rage at something as inane as not being included in a Kodex Komic.

    Well, I couldn't be bothered to explain Erebus the basics of sequential fiction and why he's being silly. I guess jimbob didn't either.

    Someone discuss something, gawd.

    I don't know what there's to discuss. I really hate their use of cliffhangers, especially when the resolution is weak as shit. "The JLA is disbanded, just kidding lolz"

    And missing so much of the story in between issues really makes it harder. Wait, that wasn't Diana but her mom? And Superman stopped being a weird electro-being? And they saw this starfish dick before?!

    I prefer storylines to be self-contained.
