Let's Read Intermission: The Five Hundred Million Dollar Man

[Vaarna_Aarne]

As our last intermission, my personal favourite issue of Global Frequency. Global Frequency was a WildStorm published series by Warren Ellis (not part of WildStorm Universe) that was essentially a series of sci-fi thriller stories loosely connected together by two recurring characters that depict the actions of a global civilian organization called the Global Frequency that connects specialists from parkour experts to quantum physicists in response to various crises.

So, now you're on the Global Frequency.

Holy shit, they built a HUMAN REAPER

Well, his motivations are much better.

I consider the line "There is a wire in my brain that simulates sexual pleasure when I kill people. That's all I have now." one of the creepiest ones I've ever read, especially when you remember that it's all in a machine-voice. Really shows just how fucked-up his existence is now.

 

[laclongquan]

Really show just how idiotic those designs of his is. Any smartass think of linking sexual pleasure will killing need to get their balls cut off (or their clits, I am not sexist). there's a fucking reason why such design dont exist in nature, it's too dangerous.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Well they were just building a WMD.

Kwazistan gonna kwazistan. I wouldn't be surprised if they actually did that to somebody in the future.

i find that Global civilian thing more derpy,but anyhow.

I'm just happy that Ellis does not have a political agenda. That shit would show through and make me roll my eyes in bemusement.

That being said this was mostly entertaining. You got more?

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Yea, but I've promised Grant Morrison's run on Justice League as my next upload extravaganza.

 

[Random]

No political agenda? Looks to me like he despises the USAF.

But then, who doesn't? Elitist bastards.

In which Random fails sarcasm check.

 

[Random]

Oh no, not again...

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Anyway, here is a question for you bros to answer:

Do you wish me next Let's Read to be...



Justice League of America, the enormously acclaimed Grant Morrison run that many consider among the finest comics of all time.

or

Doom Patrol, the enormously acclaimed Grant Morrison run that many consider among the finest comics of all time.

 

[laclongquan]

Whichever has more tits and asses (kingcomrade option)

 

[oldmanpaco]

Whichever has more tits and asses (kingcomrade option)

Pretty much.

I've already read Grant's Doom Patrol, so JLA.

Pretty much.

Bare or barely covered?

 

[SoupNazi]

This was actually pretty good. I'd like to see more.

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

JLA... then the other one.

BLOOD FOR THE COMICS GOD

Are you telling me comic artist got the balls to do bare? I wouldnt have thought they have the cojones.

Doom Patrol was one of the most important series done by the "Alan Moore farm" Karen Berger set up to produce mature-audiences comics for DC. It's got several occasions of bare breasts. In American comics nudity is a-ok if your comic is labeled for mature audiences and not part of the mainstay big name IPs (though nowadays okay with some of those too).

Keep in mind, the most significant thing keeping swinging blue balls away from American comics is the all-audiences label they still cling to (though personally I'm not sure nudity would improve anything, it's just nudity and I've got a fucking internet), which is occasionally more than a little weird considering the nowadays common dark subject matters and brutality.

JLA

Even though I suspect there'll be a lot of Batman fanwanking considering it's Morrison. It's not that shit where Ra'as al Ghul steals Batman's contingency plans to take out the JLA, is it?
