"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." - Albert Einstein
And the pandering continues. About five years too late.
Hawkeye you piece of shit. You deserved to be cucked by Ghost Rider's dad, you virtue-signalling neo-liberal. OLIVER QUEEN IS A LIBERAL. OLIVER QUEEN IS A FRIEND OF MINE. AND YOU, SIR, ARE NO OLIVER QUEEN.
So it's… Hawkeye does the A-Team? Well, here's the preview, if anybody cares to take a look. archive.is/VC1RU
Xavier Hernandez
I'm more concerned about how writers are going to address the fact that Clint killed a fellow superhero (Banner) for no real reason and got off scot-free. I haven't heard great things about David Walker's writing, so there's that.
Luke Lopez
That's it I'm fucking done with marvel except X men
Elijah Richardson
Only just now are you done with them? You should long be done with them. I haven't bought a marvel comic in years get on my level nigger
Anthony Sullivan
Isn't that the point of heroes for hire?
Ryder Turner
..You're friends with Oliver Queen?
Goddamn, that have to be suffering on the next level.
James Rogers
It is, but it sounds like Hawkeye does it for free.
Asher Thompson
If he does it for free how does he get the money to pay for his equipment?
Anthony Cook
So Hawkeye is now a socially acceptable version of The Punisher.
Justin Ramirez
I want to joke around about his new native american partner and paying for it with casino money, but this is starting to look like a book about Hawkeye going around America on a road trip and teaming up with a new hero every other issue, so I guess a joke like that wouldn't make much sense.
I don't think the writer or the editor have actually given the question much thought, to be honest.
Brayden Campbell
Didn't Captain America and the Falcon do this already? Hell didn't Green Arrow and Green Lantern do this? Shit even Superman did this.
Henry Morgan
Sounds like he's couch surfing, tbh. I wonder if he times it so he shows up right before dinner?
Lol, Luke Cage's couch. Clint will be smelling Black Cat's love slurry and Cage's babby batter for days.
Andrew Turner
Wow… Don't know why, but that description is making my heart burn.
Superheroes are a privileged class? Because you fuckers turned them into that. You know what? I want an alternative universe where all Marvel superheroes are fed up with how ungrateful and shitty Marvel's citizenship is and decide to just retire and let them be eaten by the weekly supervillain.
Brody Ward
the slut
Eli Wright
I think what's so insulting about it is that *of course* superheroes are privileged. That's the fucking point. They'll literally better than normal people, and yet they dedicate their lives to helping out normal folks without anyone asking, and in many situations, without anyone appreciating them. Spider-man spent 80 years wallowing below the poverty line because he felt responsible to help out people, rather than use his powers to make mad money.
This proves it: Marvel has literally forgotten what it means to be a superhero.
Gavin Russell
I'd be perfectly fine with this event if it happens alongside a cosmic event and we get to see a cosmic hero lambast an earth hero for not having their shit together.
Frankly, that was the best part about Civil War.
Luke Mitchell
With shit like this I still wonder why the rest of the universe didn't decide to blow the earth out just out of spite.
Wyatt Fisher
Well during Christopher Priests run on Black Panther he explains that aliens made earth an off limits zone and dumped all their criminals there because they don't want humans fucking up the galaxy.
Hudson Brooks
This actually explains a lot.
Jack Torres
Seeing Richard Btfo of everyone one earth was so amazing. They are bring him back, hopefully it will be good
Leo Cox
I thought it was considered Space Australia because the incident rate of Humans developing overpowered abilities was millions of times higher than the average across all other species. Humans are the animals that make Australia so fucking dangerous.
Camden Perry
That never happened.
Aiden Morgan
Let me guess, that was Black Cat from Earth-712?
Isaiah Adams
You know, for years The Defenders were basically whoever was couch surfing at Doc Strange's.
Robert Green
Mad tax benefits.
Luke Martin
...
Aaron Anderson
If only there were some sort of, I don't know, act that required superheroes to register or be regulated so their would be consequences for their actions.
Camden James
Are you retarded?
Thomas Cook
So far this looks like how they're gonna address it.
Leo Bennett
Marvel civilians deserve suffering and death. They are the most ungrateful faggots in creation
Camden Green
First off, to even suggest that superheroes are 'privileged' and just cause destruction without any repercussions is so insanely backward that it sounds like what a supervillain would say. In fact, I'm pretty sure the guy who started up the Sentinel program said that shit. Can anyone look at how many Spider-Man's loved ones died and call him privileged? This is on the level of saying you have 'real bravery' to a war veteran because of your self-indulgent self harm scars. I really hope people get disgusted at this like they did at Champions.
Jose Ramirez
Well, that's enough Occupy for me. I'll see you all in 8 months when this shit gets cancelled and everyone blames it on capitalism or something.
James Phillips
Wasn't that the entire premise of a crossover event? (Maximum Security)
Christian Hall
ALL THESE SUPERHEROES ARE JUST GIANT PUSSIES NOW! WHAT THE HORSE FUCK IS GOING ON?!
Lincoln Peterson
Doesn't Tony Stark regularly rebuild entire parts of the world? Isn't that why they form teams and try to protect cities and planets, to mitigate destruction? Isn't that exactly why they tried launching Hulk into space?
This is literally the motivation of about 90% of the heroes currently making up Marvel's present publications. "Doing it for the little guy" is why Spidey stops purse snatchers and muggers on a daily basis.
the guy who started the #StandWithChelseaCain tag & Nighthawk
Benjamin Evans
If these faggots hate Cape comics so much, then they should go write something else, instead of spending all their time trying to "deconstruct" the genre with their terrible hamfists.
Elijah Martin
How long were they sitting on this script?
Ryder Roberts
Reminder, Nighthawk was canceled as well
Charles Ross
That's because its not actually America. The Indians have had majority control of it for hundreds of years.
Yet somehow whites are the reason these Indian reservations can't govern themselves.
Jeremiah Jackson
Also, not sure, but didn't the Indians not use the wheel until the Pilgrims came over?
Henry Bailey
They launched Hulk into Space because they have no genre savvy. Nothing good ever ever comes of tricking Bruce Banner in order to pull one over on ol' Jade Jaws.
Nolan Clark
I think the implication is that being white is a superpower
Evan Allen
which is good
Andrew Johnson
Didn't he bawl out Tony AND Cap in an Elseworld where part of the Annihilation Wave reached Earth?
Jaxson Gray
If only there existed a way for the layman to disguise himself without wearing a mask. Like a wig Or sunglasses Or a fake mustache Or scar makeup Or an eyepatch Or fake piercings Or fake tattoos Or contacts Or speaking with an accent Or not wearing a shirt with your personal trademarked logo on it
Jaxon Bailey
I just wish for a "What if" where all the superheroes go to an strike and let supervillains do whatever they want.
Writers that have no fucking idea how superheroes work and try to 'deconstruct' the genre when having no idea how it works to begin with.
I love indians and the noble savage trope and all that shit, but thinking they are not just savage retards who can't even manage themselves is a mistake.
Jack Jenkins
Oh Goddamit the more I see this the more it reminds me of stories that did this better like the Gruenwald run on Captain America or Green Arrow and Green Lantern going on their cross country adventure fighting social injustice. Its like comics are just pale imitations of what came before nowadays.
Mason Hernandez
That only works when the ethnic minority in question is shown to be morally pure in comparison to his surroundings. Modern American Indians reject things like modern medicine and live in hovels for no reason other than tradition. The thing their ancestors used as a guide for the young has become a crutch that now prevents them from advancing as a society.
Brayden Reyes
See Old Man Logan for that particular apocalyptic scenario.
Thomas Gomez
That's why I said the trope, not the actual fact.
Well, I really prefer savages who are just stuborn but can learn, like orcs could if any good writer could do.
Bentley Jenkins
Well, most orcs are decent people. It's those slutty elven whores that give them a bad name.
Joshua Jackson
Mah Nigga!
Ian Lewis
Like most Natives were probably giant assholes, but I think its unfair to call them retarded. Mostly because we don't really know what they were like since early European explorer's killed most of them by accident with diseases.
Justin Flores
If only they had written accounts instead of playing telephone with the tribal wisdom and entrusting the history of their people to the best storyteller.
Charles Hill
But that is a "what if" the villains won and massacred all heroes. I just want all heroes to say "fuck you all. You don't deserve us".
Connor Gray
The Mayans left written records.
Ayden Gray
so kind of like what Rorshach said?
Oliver Stewart
One hopes that it was written when Occupy was relevant.
Knowing Marvel and knowing comics, however, they probably thought it up last week
William Bell
I'm just saying both scenarios would have the same ending. Trust me, if I developed superpowers in the Marvel Universe, my first priority would be to flee Earth.
Jace Lewis
Dont worry! Two years and they will publish a story based on the Ferguson chimpout.
Noah Foster
I miss old cosmic
Jason Johnson
I miss old cosmic
Alexander Allen
How about this?
>Highly circumstancial very questionable "evidence" might point to Spiderman having passed by the scene an hour before or after the attack SPIDERAPIST STRIKES AGAIN >Everyone at Avengers HQ is scratching their heads over how the actual fuck their golden boy could be a rapist >Assures Peter that they will definitely catch the real perpetrator before the deadline >Points out that the only person who can even try to compete with him on moral purity is Steve Rogers (after the Hydra thing blows over and he's back to normal) SPIDERAPIST THREATENS VICTIM
Jack Wilson
I'd read it.
Colton Morgan
Can Jessica Jones with a strap-on be the rapist?
I'm asking for a friend…
Sebastian Bailey
I don't know the specifics, but I do know that Luke Cage was mistaken.
Asher Perez
Can Itsy Bitsy be a rapist?
Nathaniel Jenkins
That's a really stupid costume and name
Easton Roberts
I'd fuck it.
David Long
Damn thats a great story user.
Charles Thomas
user, you beautiful fucking bastard.
Grayson Carter
Instead of boring Purple Man there can just we have a "Spider-Man hs a psycotic break" again?
I always enjoy Peter Parker losing his shit and lashing against the marvel universe
Lucas Smith
Opinions are subjective, but "Psychotic Parker rapes woman" is not as good as "Supervillain engineered controversy"
Cameron Johnson
not for the purposes of a superhero comic, no.
I'd read it.
Brody Gray
Care to post that quote user? Im too lazy to download the whole comic again
Julian Foster
Care to post that quote user? Im too lazy to download the whole comic again
Bentley Hernandez
I'm not sayong he really rapes her.
I just want him to break a bit from the pressure and controversy of something he didnt do. That way he can rise again stronger.
Asher Kelly
I bet it was Copycat again, lol.
Jordan Scott
I've always loved how Jameson going after Spiderman can be counted on in the same way that people expect the sun to rise.
Jason Cook
Dammit Holla Forums, you need drawfags on good stories like this whenever they pop up.
Joshua Wood
Not that user, but I think he means the quote that says "The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"… and I'll look down and whisper "No."
Liam Williams
...
Ian Williams
Can we commission someone to draw this?
Colton Parker
Well done. Now write it.
Evan Stewart
If you wrote and actual script for this, I would definitely spend money to hire an artist to draw it.
David Roberts
How does one write a comic script? Am I supposed to decide panel layout beforehand, or just write it like a stage play and figure out which angles would be interesting later?
Blake Ward
Decide panel layout and what goes into each panel
Charles Cooper
The Official Marvel Try-Out Book, and Gen 13: Magical Drama Queen Roxy cover it pretty well.
Colton Campbell
I'll give it a shot then.
Is there any leeway on the number of pages for a Comic, or do writers have to only use a set amount?
Charles Martin
Usually set for an even number like 22 or 16. Twelve or fourteen would probably be best.
I mostly shoot for 22 but that's just me and depends how much of a story I wanna tell in the issue.
Dylan Bailey
I'll go for 22, then. The pages might be cramped, since I roughly estimate around 140 panels to tell the greentext as a comic, especially since I was seeing the newspaper headlines as splash pages.
Jace Rogers
I thought for sure this had to be some kind of joke. That is really dumb.
Thought about it for a moment and realized it is a little too beautiful. Purpleman could easily create a rape victim who could say but to purposely make her statement questionable is terrific. I'd say that would in a very dark way create more doubt than if she was told to vehemently claim it was Spider-man.
Aaron Foster
I'd read the shit out of this, but my only question is what Purple Man's endgame would be for doing all of this.
William Nguyen
When I wrote it, I was assuming that Purple Man's end game was to create a rift between heroes and the public.
A few minutes ago, I decided that it was as a favor to Kingpin, who broke him out of prison, but his own plan succeeded beyond his wildest expectations. Because it was so successful so quickly, it throws off Kingpin's timetable, causing him to have to rush the remainder of the preparations, which allows Spiderman to thwart the plan, revealing that Kingpin was behind the rape scandal via Purple man.
The kicker would be that Spider man wasn't looking for this data. He just never stopped doing hero work because saving people is what heroes do, and this caused him to notice the suspicious activity by Kingpin's men.
I don't know what Kingpin's plan would be, but he's the only Spiderman-affiliated villain that I could think of that would have the clout to get Purple Man's assistance.
Jaxson Ramirez
What's up with those panels? Spider-Man gives people cancer now?
Josiah Ward
These days most Marvel comics do.
Michael Cook
It was from a really shirty, edgy Elseworlds comic where Spider-Man had to come of retirement in a "dark" future. Mary Jane died from his radioactive spider sperm.
Blake Davis
He fucked his wife to death
Ian Ortiz
Oh I think I know that one. Is that the one where Spiderman comes out of retirement to fight an authoritarian dictator of New York and the dictator sends the sinister 6 after spidey?
Austin Williams
I hope Red Wolf gives Clint Indian AIDS.
Kayden Nelson
Color me surprised. Shit writers never get fired, they just move them to shit other titles up.
Isaiah Hall
...
Grayson Harris
That ending was a nice twist. See look at this, we are coming with better shit than people that are getting paid to create this shit.
Leo Robinson
WHEN A SINGLE MOVIE FLOPS ITS ALL GOING INTO THE VAULT FOREVER YOU KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHEN THEY SOLD TO DISNEY
Julian Sanchez
AND IT WILL HAPPEN SOON REMEBER WHOLESALE DOLLARS ARE BEING COUNTED AT COMIC STORES
Jackson Hall
...
Jack Thomas
GOOD
SPIDER-MAN HOMECOMING AND CAPTAIN DYKE HAIR MCBITCHFACE ARE MOST LIKELY TO FLOP
Brandon Roberts
At this point, I'd welcome the end of the super hero genre in movies. I was optimistic because I liked The Dark Knight trilogy and Iron Man. But in my opinion avengers was pretty shitty, and would like to see the genre take a nose dive.
Henry Gutierrez
At this point, we might end up seeing the death of the superhero genre everywhere
Ayden Roberts
I miss Carol's old look.
Sebastian Gonzalez
Or a modern art critic.
Dylan Turner
Aren't they equally destructive?
Robert Cruz
Almost. I think the modern art critic manages to do more damage in the long-term, due to not getting sent to prison on a regular basis, though.
Luke Perry
True. And not being discouraged by repeated fists to the face.
God, I wish you could give these people the Star Platinum treatment at least once in their lives, compulsory.
Robert Collins
Didn't Thor: The Dark World flop?
Austin Jones
Even if it wasn't a wild success, it still made money.
Evan Cook
Jesus Christ. I mean it's not exactly untrue these days but that has nothing to do with superheroes themselves but because Marvel writers can't be bothered with that truth, justice and the american way shit and would much rather write about violent self-absorbed celebrities acting out on their selfish desires and personal grudges. And this is no different than that.
Robert Myers
I think they took the whole "Marvel heroes being relatable" a bit too far.
Anthony Watson
You and everyone else.
Adam Anderson
relatable to their narrow minded way of thinking.
Luke Ward
Good.
Lincoln Price
Or hologram watches that could display a completely different body shape. If only Hawkeye was trained in some sort of art of stealth, which might help him blend in and avoid notice in a crowd.
John Adams
But user, how then he will be recognized as a celebrity and bath in the adulation of thousands?
Justin Robinson
Well they do save the planet's retarded ass every time so I think they earned the privileged status.
Jace Rivera
...
Kevin Foster
only 6 years too late
Jose Campbell
To be fair, you've got to try it at least once, and it was unique enough that I thought it was a fair plan. Amadeus was right to stick it to Reed for not checking, though (and that's a perfectly believable characterization, it doesn't make them look like drooling retards, just a bit a overconfident).
There was a webcomic posted after Man of Steel got so much flak for killing Zod (I believe the position of the author is that regardless of how crappy MoS was, the action made sense in context). In it, the super hero murders a villain to save lives, and media won't stop talking about how horrible it is that he did that. So next time there's a planet-threatening crisis, he's just chilling out under a tree until everybody apologizes and begs him to help again.
A couple flaws: I feel like J3 accusing Spider-man of an actual crime with no proof is out of character. He usually needs photos or strong testimony to print actual charges, and otherwise sticks to general distrust or the unknown. He's been shown to be fairly principled, and I feel that, as a man he would be sensitive to a males position in being charged with rape. (also, I really like the copy pasta conversation b/t Brock and Jonah that explains Jameson's treatment as a crucible that makes Parker stronger)
Second, Purple Man being behind the whole thing negates a lot of the sting. The fact that he had string everyone along with multiple events doesn't really demonstrate man's inhumanity to man. Also, if he was manipulating everybody, why didn't he just have the rape victim accuse Spider-Man straight out, or at least give more damning testimony?
Isn't Kingpin anti-super? Kind of like the guy that hires MODOK in the new Gwenpool. He uses those he can control, but Purple Man seems waaaay to dangerous to let loose.
Wyatt Green
Loved the writing, these story interested me so much i wanted to sketch out at least one page. Sorry it ain't done….
Christian Peterson
What was it about wrestling being X years behind the general population?
Joseph Rodriguez
Oh God, that's all we need, fucking Occupy WWE.

Unless it's some eccentric Medicine Man but he's usually off the Rez smoking wild Marijuana.

Congratulations, you just got clickbaited.
Brandon Ward
Never take the cover or the solicit blurb at face value, as they're done months in advance
Joshua Fisher
Huhh, I never thought about it like that, but I guess all those crazy comic book covers in the 50's and 60's, you know, with Superman being a dick to Jimmy Olsen, and crazy gorillas doing crazy shit? They were like the original clickbait.
Andrew Ward
I'm surprised they didn't do something with the Dakota Pipeline just to be topical.
Jeremiah Sanders
Eyup.
Ethan Miller
So like, what happens if you drink some of that guy?
Ryan Perry
I think he can mess with your insides. They kind of show this in the Christopher Priest Black Panther run.
Connor Lopez
I'd disagree, since the stories had a habit of being way more nuts than the cover. If some site said "8 things that prove god is real! 7 will shock you!" and seven was actually a real recording of god returning to earth to usher in the end of the world, then I can't really get too angry, I'd be getting a lot more than I had expected.
