LOOKING FOR OLD MARVEL COMICS TO DOWNLOAD!
Hello!
Does anyone have an archive or a link where I can download Marvel Mystery Comics #1 The Human Torch (1939) and Marvel Mystery Comics Vol 1 (1939–1949)? Or all comics from 1939 to the present day?
I've searched hundreds of sites and even went into the darknet comic archives, but I couldn't find it there either! The only place I found it was on Internet Archive, but the quality there is pretty low. I wouldn’t be picky, but I’ve come across high-quality versions in the browser that just can’t be downloaded. If anyone can extract them from those sites, I'd be very grateful.
Ongezellig Thread
This Dutch gem of a cartoon recently finished production. 20 minutes through 6 "deels" show the journey of 3 girls through the trials and tribulations of… finishing a school presentation. Voices are in Dutch but there are English subtitles, and 3 weeks ago a fan-crafted slowburn kino English AI voiceover was released as a separate video. Thoughts?

When Maurice and the rodents meet a bookworm called Malicia, their little con soon goes down the drain.

Why are there so many scenes of boys showing their underwear and butts?
It doesn't make me laugh, and I know people who don't either. It's been repeated enough in so many cartoons and media in general, why?
It's strange how that's done a lot with kid characters too. Like in wedgies where they even show their butts. Also they almost never do this with female characters. Is there a reason why the writers have done so much with boys characters?
The Joy of Abilify (Small Town Cops)
You know, comics are meant to simplify a student's IQ, through identifier for medication to reduce function of taxes accounted.
Falsely called Down's Syndrome, it actually means you found a manner of completing alchemy, and had a criminal record without ROTC recommendation to write papers for a professor as to a black bar, a military program.

Pre-lindelof watchmen
>Damon Lindelof admits in interviews HBO was about to move along with their watchmen show before he joined the project in the last minute
>HBO had a strip for a watchmen sequel before the theme became about Race
>Looking glass backstory the only new character that fits in the original without any retcons
>Pirate Jenny and Red scare did nothing and were being set up to be major characters in a second season
>No one in the cast and crew called HBO watchmen a mini-series before the show was canceled
What would HBO watchmen be about if Damon Lindelof didn’t join? Sister night and hooded justice retcon were spawn from Lindelhof's involvement. Wade Tillman was probably the main character in the pre-Lindelof script..

And that's all, folks!
We have officially created a new board over at https://8chan.moe/co/
Come join there if you're sick of pictures getting deleted for no reason at all
I breaks my heart...
…to see /co/ below boards like fucking /jewess/.
I want you to know I always loved you, 8/co/. You, the board, not the people (although I loved them, too). I want you to know that. There was a time when you knew me and I knew you, and my first and last stop between sleep periods was spent with you, feeling like I belonged.
I made people here laugh and they made me laugh. We all felt like we were part of something amazing, and now I see you empty and miserable, and I'm genuinely sad. If I hadn't had to leave for health reasons, maybe you would still be alive. Then again, maybe you were meant to end like this. Maybe we ALL end like this.
I don't like the new /co/ over at the new 8chan. It's missing something vital, and it's just too depressing going through the motions.
Goodbye, my friend. I miss you.
Gwen Tennyson
Well was rewatching original series again and some stuff seemed off,so i started questioning some stuff like
>Is gwen really ben cousin?
>Is gwen even related to ben?
I know the original story was gwen was supposed to be love interest along girl non blood related to max,they dropped this idea since grandpa max was babysitting gwen which was neighbours child as he passed the summer with his grandson ben and sounded kinda pedo.
Yet the important part is that one.
Let's see gwen relationship with rgandpa max
>Gwen has grandpa max by the balls
>Grandpa max please her in any way she wants
>Grandpa max telling her about keeping everything secret
>Grandpa max going in a van around the country for summer instead of just one place.
>Grandpa max buying gwen expensive clothes
Gwen disappeared lot of time and was alone with grandpa.
This makes a lot of sense and indicates a story a little more dark of grandpa max grooming and having a sexual relationship with gwen (reason of why he was removed later on)
I love the series but i don't see this discussed so let's start.
Comics & Cartoons
My favorite cartoon is Gone with the Ghosts. The graphics are amazing, the story is great and vivid. Beautiful characters with hanfu clothing, just like the one I bought myself https://store.newhanfu.com/ . Fascinating plot about a teenage girl who, by coincidence, finds herself in the service of a powerful sorceress from the spirit world. "Gone" is undeniably a brilliant canvas, every frame of which you want to cut out and hang on the wall like a painting.
Die Schule der kleinen Vampire
What's the deal with this show? I mean, I've seen a couple of episodes and it's fun! It's actually pretty cool! Could it be that I watched the two good episodes by chance? Maybe, but I don't think so.
How come they never released it in English? Or Spanish, for that matter. As subs go, I'd be OK with either, but when I look at it I see a perfect show for broad distribution in America and other English-speaking countries.
What's the deal with the lack of distribution?
I wanna watch the whole thing. Are illegal methods the only methods? I'd buy a DVD set. heck, I'd even buy it in the original German. Are there DVDs in German, at least?
There are torrents, but all I can find are TV rips.
Just saw Leafie, a Hen Into the Wild (2011)...
Read a good chunk of my library thanks to Kung Flu lockdown. So while watching a film theory ep, I saw a link to Steve Reviews of "Leafie A Hen Into The Wild" and I was curious to see the English subtitled version.
https://youtu.be/hxHIF70Ll64, Here's the steve review. I checked out the subtitled movie and it really does tug at the heart strings. Made me glad I sent my mom some valentine well wishing since she's not here for me to hug.
Anyone else see this?
Hazbin Hotel
Is this ever coming out? I've heard that there's plans to release the pilot in October but nothing that confirms this.
While I don't think they can pull it off, I do hope it succeeds as a show. It's a unique idea that's not just endless crass humor with low effort animation. It's refreshing in the adult animation scene to have actual animation.
Dream Anon?
Back in 2015 an Anon used to post here on /co/ in the /sueg/ thread (RIP) about his lucid dreams with Lapis.
Does anyone here remember him? I never screencapped any of his posts. I found him to be pretty interesting back then and sadly there don't seem to be any archives to jog my memory.
Mike Mignola uses Hellboy to promote Biden Harris 2020
I don't particularly care who he votes for (even though the candidate he supports has made a ton of gaffes as well as has questionable mental health). I just feel that it's cringe to use your own creation to promote real world people, especially during an election. Just say it as the person yourself instead of through an avatar. Also the art is pretty lazy as support. Is Hellboy weak to covid that he has to wear a mask even though there no people wearing masks for rioting and marching on the supreme court after RBG died?
How much longer will the "calarts" style be around for? To be more specific the noodle arm, bean head, bean mouth, incredibly simple geometric bodies, etc. When will there be more animators doing their own style? I know indie animation is a thing, but in mainstream cartoons everything looks the same.
Scooby doo is dead
R.I.P
https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/joe-ruby-dies-dead-scooby-doo-1234750948/amp/
Is this even worth pirating if I liked the first one? I want to see more, but I've seen people mercilessly shitting on the sequel. Often because of the huge downgrade in art quality and huge tonal shift. Judging from screenshots and small clips I've seen (and the fact that there are fucking songs) I can see their point. I haven't actually seen the whole film yet though, so I can't say that much about it. It doesn't look great.
Dark Nights: Death Metal
Anyone else hyped for this? In an interview, the creator compared the event as the equivalent of Crisis on Infnite Earths and is a direct continuation of Year of The Villain.
https://www.newsarama.com/49249-dc-s-dark-nights-death-metal-is-the-anti-crisis-c2e2-20.html
Everyone on /co/ is whining about more or less suble political messages in cartoons, or that cartoons nowadays lack the balls to show darker content. Meanwhile this happens in a cartoon named Afred J. Kwak, which I grew up with:
>Alfred's parents and all of his siblings die in a hit and run by two corrupt businessmen who are distracted while driving, and afaik never caught in the whole series.
>One of Alfred's schoolmates is an obvious gypsy analogy Magpie who keeps stealing stuff, but everyone accepts his apologies (even the judge during a trial), because he's a Magpie, and stealing is what he does. He later looks like a gypsy stereotype.
>Alfred saves the whales by leading a protest with them.
>One of Alfred's friends has an inner conflict, because he has the chance to be the captain of a modern, huge ass fishing ship which is a well paid job, but that ship destroys the ecosystem, which shows that it's not a one-sided topic.
>Alfred hides illegal black duck immigrants at home and uses his influence to get them a visa.
>One of the illegal immigrants had to flee his country because he's a Malcolm X type of character, and in his 3rd world home country there's early 1900s American racism between geese and black ducks for some reason.
>Alfred falls in love with his daughter. She's a constantly jealous bitch.
>One of Alfred's former schoolmates is a white supremacist goose.
>The goose is openly racist against black ducks.
>Alfred's crow bully, named Dolf, tries to get rid of the immigrants by winning (another) election. He later breaks out of jail after an attempted mass murder and takes Alfred's GF hostage.
But the best part:
>Alfred's school bully Dolf the crow is scared to end up being mocked, because he's only a half-blood crow. He paints his beak black since it's yellow to hide it. As a kid, he swears everyone will fear him.
>Both characters have a strange Xavier/ Magneto rivalry.
>Dolf learns in history class about how "different" people were exiled from the village in medival times and loves it.
>Dolf grows up to look like Hitler, his two friends like stereotypical nazi thugs. They try to raise money, because Dolf wants to overthrow the monarchy.
>Dolf becomes the new leader because the king doesn't know anything about politics. He jails everyone who doesn't support him.
>Dolf's friends are actually nice guys, who aren't shown as evil, but they simply idolize Dolf and don't understand what they do wrong.
>Alfred manages to storm his castle with his friends, right at the moment when Dolf was about to start a mouse holocaust, because a mouse failed an "assassination" against him (which revealed his yellow beak).
>in the end, Alfred loses his shit and scares Dolf away with a gun.
In total though, it's actually a great because the characters grow up, get jobs, it gets weirdly political, its kinda deep (Dolf only went to power to impress Alfred in the end). Some conflicts are presented in a way too naive way. Like when he lets the immigrants live in his home and there are neither issues, nor does anyone complain (implying nothing could go wrong).
The Last God
The Last God is an upcoming series from DC's Black Label delving into horror and dark fantasy. The ancient gods existed before the world came into being with none more sinister than the titular survivor.
The aesthetic of the concept art kind of reminds me of games like Dark Souls, Bloodbourne and to some extent Castlevania.

Why deconstructing something?
If you like or even love a certain type of medium or genre then why should you feel the need to deconstruct it?
If you don't like or even hate a certain type of medium or genre or don't like certain aspects or tendencies of it then why should you feel the need to deconstruct it? Just ignore it and move to a genre or type of medium you like or offer your own take on it in a constructive way.

Cancertown
Anyone else read Cancertown? It is a story about a man with a brain tumour which allows him to see what he views as a hidden layer of reality.
His companions in Cancertown (name of the other world) range from whimsical faeries to nightmare fuel and in the 'real world' they consist of a combination of the homeless and the mentally ill.
Think Hellblazer meets Through The Looking Glass and Dream Quest of The Unknown Kadath and you are there.
Marshal Law
Recommendation for people who are waiting for Season 2 of The Boys.
Marshal Law follows the story of a superhero hunter in a world of super-powered degenerates where unmodified humans are the minority.
If you can get past Pat Mill's Leftist politics (not going to lie, that man is as subtle as a brick), it is pretty enjoyable.
This may be a long shot but…
Back in 2014 when alot of people came over to 8chan we had our own version of the co creation threads.

READ ME BEFORE ASKING FOR ANYTHING
Due to the smaller userbase of comics compared to films and video games, torrents are usually less seeded, if they even exist. MEGA links will be primarily used as they are faster and reliable for the immediate future.

Vola https://volafile.org/r/kVIkT3
>How to remove Mega's 1.5gb download limit/bandwith quota?
Download MegaTools or JDownloader 2. Copy/paste links and it will download at full speed and won't care about limits.
Leechers
1. Before you request, search online for the file you want.
2. Look first in the archives and on volafile for the file you are looking for.
3. When requesting, be as specific as possible. If you have the cover art of the file you want, post it on in the thread. Especially if there's more than one run i.e Batman #1-10 refers to many different issues.
4. Due to fun police, links to files will be split in half.
If you see something like: c12fe1c06bba254a9dc9f519b335aa7c1367a88a |or| c12-fe1c-06bba25-4a9dc9f519-b335aa7c1-367a88a, it's an Info Hash. Most/all torrent clients handle a hash. Same as using a magnet, just copy/paste it.
Uploaders
1. Upload whatever. Don't ask if someone wants it. Merely being there might incentivise someone to read/watch it.
2. Don't upload to a filesharing site and expect it to stay there forever. MEGA is not for storage. It will eventually get taken down in the long run.
3. Split links to confuse bots. See "HowtoContribute" file.
Volafile
1. Don't upload 100 issues individually if you can. Uploading a .zip would be both easier for uploading and downloading, and doesn't clog the Vola. If anons are wary of downloading .zips, upload a few issues individually to prove legitimacy, then .zip the rest.
2. Don't turn the Vola into a circlejerk, posting reaction images and discussing your penises in the chat.
If the site goes down, there are no true bunkers for /co/. Other sites like endchan.xyz and 8ch.pl exist, but they are mostly for the big 3 boards.
Age of Reptiles: The Complete Storytime
I'm going to go through in chronological order, series by series, and share Ricardo Delgado's Age of Reptiles in its entirety. This dinosaur comic is one of Dark Horse's hidden gems, they didn't just make great Star Wars comics, they also produced plenty of original content worth reading. The really neat thing about Age of Reptiles is that there is no dialogue, it's all visual storytelling.
Starting with,
Tribal Warfare
Which was originally just titled Age of Reptiles, and got its subtitle when collected for trade paperback.
Art is of course by Delgado, and colors are by James Sinclair.

Superdickery
Has there ever been a comic where Superman (or any super durable hero) consumes spicy food and mentions if they feel it? Capsaicin works as an irritant and would logically (as little as that applies to superheroes) have a diminished (if any) response to it. Could have made for a fun silver age story where Clark has to fake it.

ComicsGate General
After being attacked by twitter morons for having rules where he had the audacity to respect customers and hire people with talent, they made him cuck from providing a cover for Doug TenNapel's kickstarter Bigfoot Bill 2: Finger of Poseidon because of his anti-trans views. Now they want him to end his relationship with Blake Northcott for CG with the usual guilt by association. The comic industry is small as it is but can an industry survive under 6 degrees of alt-right purging? Can people of differing ideologies work together anymore as just business or is this how it's going to be for a while? I'm afraid I already know the answer to that question.
Yes is from Twitter.
No, I'm not gonna watch it.
TTG got some edge over time and I can respect that as insulting it is.
SU is godawful. But that was the BEST those incompetent buffoons could muster.
I'm afraid to pirate /co/.
Ok. I might watch it as soon as the torrent is ready.
Birds of Prey
Don't know what happened to the last thread but we got a full leaked look at what Harley's new costume is. Looks like trash. They're even trying to go for the forced "we want the deadpool audience" comic run references with the stuffed beaver.
This movie is destined to fail but thots across the globe will praise it while listening to Billie Eilish.
Tales of the comic shop.
So I went to my local comic shop to get a nice graphic novel, so I could sit down and read it with some pastries and a nice cup of tea. However when I went to the store, I had to be buzzed in and low and behold, it's fucking ghost town. I was the only person there with no one else to be seen other than an old lady by the TV watching Fox News.
Now I had a nice chat with said old lady, and it turns out she was the owner of the store who was open for over 40 years and were considering closing. But she can't because there are so many damn comics lying around in big brown boxes, with the big two constantly shipping them new comics.
In fact they even admitted that they don't even specialize in comics anymore. Their main business is sell their backlog to mexicans who then sell said issues on eBay for hundreds of dollars. I was wondering if most comic book stores are like this, or was this just the minority.
MCU Thread: Black Widow Edition
Well Black Widow is getting her own MCU movie now. One that won't matter because the character is canonically dead in Endgame so nothing in this movie will matter beyond establishing her replacement.
So besides this movie looking like an incredibly generic Mission Impossible meets Fast & Furious action movie, what really irks me is Taskmaster. They went through the effort to give Red Guardian an actually somewhat comic inspired costume. Making him look like a real cape hero. Then we have Taskmaster who looks like he got out of an airsoft tournament. Something tells me they didn't give him a skull mask because China wouldn't like that. Then of course Red Guardian gets to be a big hero because the power of communism. Thanks China.
Movie Trailers
Pixar released another trailer for Soul today. It's better than the other trailer but that's not saying much. The designs for humans are pretty ugly, the other world looks boring and uninspired, and this entire story just seems like a rather generic 'life is good' plot
Chink Animation
So a new chink film called "Nezha" is breaking records over in China, besides Lucky and Pie whatever happened to those guys I dont recall any notable films coming from China. The only ones that do come to mind are those cgi Monkey King movies, Batman Shanghai and whatever bargain bin trash they vomit onto Walmart.
The Ogre Gods: Petit Storytime
Im going to storytime this excellent graphic Novel
>Petit is the son of the Ogre King, and the littlest giant in the royal clan. Scarcely larger than a mere human, he is the latest sign of the family's rapid degeneration, which makes each generation smaller than the one before. His father wants him killed as an embarrassment, but his mother sees in him the possible regeneration of the family lineage, since he could mate with a human, just as the Founder of their lineage once did. Confused, she confides in great Aunt Desdée, the oldest of their clan, who was once dishonored because of her love for the humans, whom the Ogres consider little more than labor and food. But contrary to her guidance, she decides to raise Petit in the family traditions, including the violent impulses that this entails. So Petit grows into manhood, torn by the hunger he inherited from his upbringing and the sympathetic education he received from Aunt Desdée . . . will he find his place in this world divided between humans and giants, neither of which truly accept him? And will he survive the voracious appetite of his own monstrous family?
Dumbing of AIDS
New thread.
Why is it so hard to talk to this guy? Amazi-girl has some skill in martial arts, doesn't she, or am I confusing her with something else? Even still, what's the worst he can do? I get being nervous, but in a situation where you're dealing with a supposed bad guy, shouldn't that be empowering?
Bob Iger out as Disney head
Bob Iger is gone from Disney!
He's being replaced by "Bob Chapek". All I can find is his official bio which states he was previously in charge of parks. Can anyone find anything else about him?
The timing suggest this wasn't a retirement, but a termination. People don't retire in the middle of a week then get replaced by an internal hire.
Superman: Red Son
Well DC's back at it again with the straight to blu-ray movies. This time with a pretty okay Superman alternate universe story in glorious low framerate animation. Let's just hope it's not as bad as The Killing Joker or as drastically different as Batman Hush.
/co/ toy thread
Discuss any recent buys, figures you want, or just to complain about shitty toys. Must be /co/ related in some way.
I'll start us off. So Deadpool got popular again in the eyes of normalfags because of the movie, right? So how is it there's no figures based on the movie version except the HotToys figure? Seems like all the ones being made sense then are only based on the Gerry Duggan design. The average person isn't the greatest thinker when it comes to popular "nerd" shit but you'd still think toy makers would prioritize using the designs of the most popular or recent version of the character.
Swamp of An Industry
How bad has the animation industry really gotten? You'd think when a site like cartoonbrew publishes an article about how some newly hired Disney employee decided to leave the most corporate company on earth, it would be ignored and laughed at (its fucking disney what did she expect?). Then you have mountains of vitriolic idiots descend from out of nowhere and sperg out over something so dumb. Later major people in the industry felt the need to come out and make a statement/video on the subject.
It reminds me of a video by some ecelecb called EZ PZ, where he interviews someone supposedly blacklisted in the industry for having the "wrong views". It also got dogpiled by a similar legion of idiots spewing the same shit and that was back two years ago.
Not going to embed the video to avoid shilling and I want to post images instead.
Star Wars- High Republic
To no one's surprise, High Republic is a shittier EU with diversity as one of its main goals. Also, the reveal video for it is about as corporate as it could get. Books spanning multiple companies so who knows how they'll keep continuity in check since they couldn't do it with the Disney trilogy and they scrapped the EU because they didn't want to worry about it. All pushed by Kathleen Kennedy so you know somethings bound to be cancelled for not living up to her standards.

YT Animation
Does anyone have any obscure YT animation channels they'd be willing to share? Most of the popular animators all deleted more than half of their portfolio because it's "cringey stuff they made as a teen" and now they draw shitty tame porn for twitterinas that want them to waste their creative potential. I tried newgrounds in 2019 and this was about the level of quality everything on the front page was https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/734574
Cold Sun Stortime
It's valentines. What better way to celebrate than a story about a loner and his robot wandering post-apocalyptic Europe.
It's near future. Human civilization is severely crippled by outbreak of a deadly epidemic. Desperate countermeasures only make matters worse. Story happens a while after the collapse. It follows an ex-military man who is looking for a safe place. He is accompanied by his quadruped robot and his trusty rifle.
Today I will story time the first out of three volumes.
SUPERMAN SMASHES THE KLAN
>Superman Smashes The Klan, announced at the beginning of last year, initially as a part of the DC Zoom line-up aimed at middle grade readers, is Gene Luen Yang‘s long-awaited and anticipated stand-alone pairing with the art studio Gurihuru. The comic will finally see its debut this October.
>“The year is 1946, and the Lee family has moved from Metropolis’s Chinatown to the center of the bustling city. While Dr. Lee is greeted warmly in his new position at the Metropolis Health Department, his two kids, Roberta and Tommy, are more excited about being closer to their famous hero, Superman!
>“While Tommy adjusts to the fast pace of the city, Roberta feels out of place, as she tries and fails to fit in with the neighborhood kids. As the Lees try to adjust to their new lives, an evil is stirring in Metropolis: the Ku Klux Klan. When the Lee family awakens one night to find a burning cross on their lawn, they consider leaving town. But the Daily Planet offers a reward for information onn the KKK, and their top two reporters, Lois Lane and Clark Kent, dig into the story.
>“When Tommy is kidnapped by the KKK, Superman leaps into action — with help from Roberta! But Superman is still new to his powers — he hasn’t even worked out how to fly yet, so he has to run across town. Will Superman and Roberta reach Tommy in time?
>“Inspired by the 1940s Superman radio serial ‘Clan of the Fiery Cross,’ Gene Luen Yang (American Born Chinese, Boxers and Saints, The Terrifics, New Super-Man) brings us his personal retelling of the adventures of the Lee family as they team up with Superman to smash the Klan.”
Try not to derail the thread this time.
Star Trek Lower Decks
Well, this looks like another Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! with an art style you'd expect. The Picard show at least looks like the least worse new Star Trek thing to come out until Star Trek Discovery returns. Any one care for this show that's headed by the Rick and Morty guy, Mike McMahan, that's guaranteed 2 seasons? They have to be self aware by calling this unimportant ship a California class ship.
Remind me again, why did he want to kill Anna ? I don't get it
Wasn't his plan to inherit the kingdom by marrying her ? Why did he need to kill her, he was eventually going to fulfill his wish
Was it because he wanted all the power for himself ? He'd be KING for God's sake, he'd already have all the power he needs
Let's pretend for a moment that he does kill Anna and becomes sole regent of Arendelle, now what ?
He'll eventually have to satisfy his urges and provide a heir, how does he plan on doing this if he kills the cutest and most adorable girl of the country ???
He'll have to chose someone else to marry, and he'd be back to square one
Not one part of his plan makes sense
After watching some footage from the new Harley Quinn show, it hit me.
Batman is 80 years old.
80 fucking years of this shit, of characters whose stories aren't going anywhere, like folk stories about some stock character except everything is controlled by one corporation and its writers. Time changes around him, fairly inconsequential stuff happens and arcs go by, some one-offs even toy with him getting older, but nothing really changes. Batman is never going to end conventionally and the clusterfuck that is comic book canon ensures DC will never write him a satisfying, final conclusion.
Maybe Batman's greatest foe is his own publisher and writers. His world's cruel gods and tormentors, who trap everyone in a neverending, ageless deadlock to wring more money and cultural control out of an old man and his enemies who should have concluded their stories or ascended to the public domain ages ago. Maybe the only satisfying ending Batman can ever have is through creating a new Batman narrative, Batman vs his editors, and through it taking a sledgehammer to the fourth wall and letting the narrative spill out into the real world until Batman's greatest foe, the one he can never defeat himself, is forced to let him go.
Comic books have long flirted with the idea of men being inspired by superheroes to take up masks and fight villainy too. What they do not realize is we already have our masked men, our anons and the pseudonymous internet masses. We are fucking internet capeshit with all the stupid bombast, glamor, and drama that comes along with it and we haven't even taken advantage of that.
Yes, this is crazy. I'm not even sure if it makes any sense to most people. But I think there's also a good idea inside this somewhere and I hope that even if I can't, another anon will.
DCAU thread
>Fatal Five is a good movie
After Batman and Harley Quinn turned out to be a vehicle for Bruce Timm's weird fetishes, I thought the DCAU was done for, but this movie was kind of decent and I'm looking forward to it again.
The DCAU was awesome and had a ton of amazing interpretations of DC characters, we definitely need a movie about the Question fighting the Uncanny condiment king.
Please Forgive Me!!!
Looks like this is finally back to doing regular updates on Mon/Wed/Fri, so I thought I'd make a new thread after the other one was doomed to fail from the start. Katie is back. I don't know if this whole thing will lead to some grand twist at some point, but it looks like it's still setting up characters and things for now.

2019 Summer Infinity Cup
GREETINGS /co/
The Infinity Cup is returning once again, and 8chan's boards will be fighting it out on the pitch to claim divegrass supremacy. As a board that has participated in the Cup at one point or another in its history, you are invited to the reveal stream for 2019 Summer edition of the Cup. On Saturday June 22nd, at 3 PM EDT/7 PM UTC, on cytu.be/r/8cup I'll be giving you guys an early look at the Cup's 5th edition, which will include revamped aesthetics, team stadiums and other quality of life improvements I've figured out how to do in PES 17. Hopefully this will get anons back on board with the Cup, considering it has struggled mightily since its 2nd incarnation.
So how is it going to go down? I'll be staging a couple of exhibition matches between teams using their rosters from the last Cup, and we'll shitpost our merry way through the stream. Once the stream ends, entries will be open for the Cup, and boards can start putting together/editing their rosters and kits. Entries will close in early July, the field will be determined, and the Group Draw will take place approximately a week before the Cup kicks off in August. I'm also hoping to possibly introduce managers for the Cup, although I'm still working out the details to keep this from devolving into a namefag dick measuring contest. I hope you all will tune in, and in case you aren't caught up on your board's history, I've provided some links below to get you caught up:

/co/ Christmas card
That time of the year again.
Those of you who've been here long enough (probably all of you if you were determined enough to come to 8kun) will know the drill: submit pictures of comic and cartoon characters (no backgrounds), preferably from stuff that released this year or is a /co/ meme. We put them in a /co/llage, slap on some season's greetings, and on Christmas Day we send the card off to whatever boards we like.
New art of /co/nrad to use would be appreciated as well, but we can always reuse older stuff if we have to.
LEGO Movie Rights Go From WB To Universal
Could mean no LEGO Batman 2. Which I'm fine with. Only the first LEGO movie was good. LEGO Batman had black swapped characters galor, a really Joker shipping subplot, & Dick Grayson who may as well be a completely different character. Then LEGO Movie 2 happened with an ultimate message of "masculinity bad" for all the young boys in the audience. Never saw the Ninjago movie. I just know it fucked with all the lore the series built up.
What are you waiting for? Finish Your Comic
Didnt see anything in catalog. Let's have a comic creator resource thread. Writers, artist, inker, letterer, colorist, or any questions pertaining to creating and publishing your work.
Publishers
Marvel - https://www.marvel.com/help/category/17/topic/30 - does not accept portfolios anymore. You need to know someone to get hired now.
DC - https://www.dccomicstalentworkshop.com/artists-workshop/how-to-apply/ - they have a workshop set of courses every year (or have been lately) that you can submit work and portfolios towards admission. This can lead to work and showcases, like the New Talent Showcase 2018 issue ( https://www.dccomics.com/comics/new-talent-showcase-2016/new-talent-showcase-2018-1 ).
Image Comics - https://imagecomics.com/submissions - Accepts Artists: We accept inking, pencilling, lettering, or coloring samples. Writers: We accept proposals only. Clique group. Without a name, youll find trouble getting support from Image. Knowing someone is best way to get there and having previous work or status (novels, film, etc). Not the 'indy haven' it used to be.
https://jasonthibault.com/definitive-list-comic-publisher-submission-guidelines/ - this is a longer list of publisher and guidelines updated for 2018 standards.
Crowd funding is a great way to get funds, but also entirely name based and getting info out there. Need twitter and other media. Youtube channel is very good if artist for basic livestream drawing sessions or critiques, helping improve art of followers, etc. Jim Lee has a good channel for this. Ethan van Sciver used to do insider talks on his work with Marvel (New X-Men with Morrison, his Johns Rebirth stuff) and how to draw various characters. Mostly shittalks SJWs now though. Archives good source for building audience though. Can use the money in conjunction with some smaller publishers too.
I'll post some resources for general comic creation in follow up posts.
Sonic Movie Preview
>The poster shows a couple of key updates to Sonic, and we had the opportunity to speak with the creative team behind the movie to find out new details about the upcoming movie. This telling of Sonic's story sees him as a bit of a fish – or hedgehog – out of water. Sonic, voiced by Ben Schwartz, finds himself in our present-day world, wherein he develops a relationship with James Marsden's Tom Wachowski and also finds himself at odds with Jim Carrey's Dr. Robotnik. As expected, mayhem ensues.
Why are writers so incompetent when it comes to redemption arcs?
You know maybe its because I'm just older and tired but I'm real sick of seeing people try to defend villains, trying to make them more complex when they almost always end up as dindu nuffins. I miss just straight up comically bad assholes who own their shit because for all you want to go on about complexity and repeatability some people are just cunts who enjoy being cunts.
What pieces of /co/ related media present the need for a hero to redeem someone as a negative and selfish desire?
Classic Simpsons Episode Starring Michael Jackson Will Be Pulled Permanently
https://www.vulture.com/2019/03/the-simpsons-is-pulling-the-episode-starring-michael-jackson.html
>Simpsons executive producer James L. Brooks told The Wall Street Journal that the season 3 episode “Stark Raving Dad” will be pulled from circulation. Not only will it be removed from syndication, but the episode will be pulled from streaming services like Fox’s EverySimpsonEver and from all future DVD and Blu-Ray box sets. “The guys I work with—where we all spend our lives arguing over jokes—were of one mind on this,” Brooks said. “It feels clearly the only choice to make. Brooks said that the Simpsons higher-ups were overwhelmingly convinced by the HBO documentary Leaving Neverland, calling the behavior of Jackson “monstrous.” The episode depicts Homer being committed to a mental institution and meeting a man named Leon Kompowsky who is convinced he’s really Michael Jackson. Jackson voiced the character under the pseudonym John Jay Smith. “I’m against book burning of any kind,” said Brooks, “but this is our book and we’re allowed to take out a chapter.”
Fuck me, this is one of my favorite episodes in the Golden Era.
Cartoon Network Adds Adventure Comedies 'Mao Mao,' 'Tig 'N' Seek'
The channel also has given season pickups to 'Summer Camp Island' and Apple & Onion
>Cartoon Network has expanded its programming slate with two new adventure comedies while giving season pickups to two current shows.
>The cable channel has ordered Parker Simmons' Mao Mao, Heroes of Pure Heart, described as "a high-octane ride that follows a crime-fighting samurai cat and his faithful sidekicks," and Tig 'N’ Seek, a "lighthearted mystery-filled show about a young sleuth and his feline partner" that was created by Myke Chilian.
>Meanwhile, Summer Camp Island, from Julia Pott, will also get a sophomore season, with George Gendi's buddy comedy Apple & Onion getting a full series pickup.
>All were piloted as part of the studio's global Artists Program, which aims to nurture "a new generation of creators and developing a pipeline of critically acclaimed work."
>Mao Mao will follow Sheriff Mao Mao, an explosive loner and famous hero; Badgerclops, a lovable oaf; and Adorabat, an adorable sidekick. They work together to bring justice and peace to the people of the valley. A sneak peek unlocks Monday on the CN App and On Demand, with a second June 3. Leading into the premiere, eight new episodes will become available June 28. The series will make its official debut at 6:10 p.m. July 1 on Cartoon Network, with new episodes continuing to premiere Mondays through summer. Mao Mao, Heroes of Pure Heart is produced by Cartoon Network Studios and Titmouse.
>Tig 'N’ Seek is about eight-year-old Tiggy and his gadget-building cat, Gweeseek, as they search for the lost items of Wee Gee City. With Tiggy’s cheerful attitude and Gweeseek’s exceptional inventing capabilities, the duo humorously navigate day-to-day dilemmas at the Department of Lost and Found. Tig 'N’Seek is targeted to premiere in 2020.
>Summer Camp Island returns at noon June 23 with new episodes as the magical journey picks up to follow best friends Oscar and Hedgehog as they learn to explore the unknown while embarking on more mystical adventures. In the second season, scheduled for later in the year, magical mysteries reveal themselves for Oscar and Hedgehog to investigate. On their journey, they uncover new worlds within the island where they meet elves, sasquatches, giants, monsters under the bed, aliens, yetis and teenage witches.
>Apple & Onion is slated to return this fall, featuring YouTube star Timothy DeLaGhetto, The Great British Bake Off's Sue Perkins and more. The series will continue to tell stories of best friends Apple and Onion as they experience big city living with their menagerie of anthropomorphic food friends.
The first episode of Mao Mao was released today as well:

100-PAGE GIANT COMICS FROM DC TO BE SOLD EXCLUSIVELY AT WALMART STORES THIS SUMMER (MUCH TO THE DISMAY OF SEVERAL DIAMOND CUCKS)
>Available July 1, Monthly Anthology Titles Combine All-New Stories by Top DC Writers with Classic Tales from DC’s Deep History
>Original Stories Featuring Jimmy Palmiotti, Amanda Conner, Dan Jurgens and Tim Seeley
>12-Part Superman Story by Tom King and 12-Part Batman Story by Brian Michael Bendis to Follow in September
>This summer, Walmart shoppers will receive a personal invitation to discover the lore behind their favorite DC experiences as DC Entertainment announced today that a series of “giant” monthly comics will be sold exclusively in more than 3,000 participating Walmart stores around the country.
>Available for $4.99, each 100-page anthology features all-new stories written exclusively for these books by some of DC’s top creative talents, including Tom King (BATMAN, MISTER MIRACLE, HEROES IN CRISIS), Dan Jurgens (ACTION COMICS, BATMAN BEYOND), Brian Michael Bendis (SUPERMAN, ACTION COMICS, THE MAN OF STEEL), Andy Kubert (NEW CHALLENGERS) and others. Each title will also include additional story arcs drawn from fan-favorite DC eras such as the New 52, Rebirth and the New Age of DC Heroes.
Each of the four titles – SUPERMAN GIANT, JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA GIANT, BATMAN GIANT and TEEN TITANS GIANT – will arrive in stores by July 1. Beginning in August, the Superman and Justice League of America titles will arrive in week one of each month, with the second pair, Batman and Teen Titans, arriving approximately two weeks later.
>“We are extraordinarily excited about working with Walmart to expand the reach of our books,” said DC Publisher Dan DiDio. “These new monthly books combine new and accessible stories with reprints of classic comic series. It’s a great way for new readers to get into comics and follow the characters they’ve grown to love in TV and film.”
DC ANNOUNCES YET ANOTHER IMPRINT: BLACK LABEL
With mature stories for mature readers, by acclaimed creators.
>The success of Batman: White Knight, Dark Knight III: The Master Race and Nightwing: New World Order has demonstrated a readership for more adult-suitable stories using DC Comics characters. So while DC Zoom and DC Ink offer comics aimed at a child and young adult audience I get the word that something called DC Black Label will feature comics aimed at adults using familiar DC characters.
https://www.dccomics.com/blog/2018/03/08/dc-launches-new-publishing-imprint-dc-black-label
>DC Black Label is an imprint designed to allow “an all-star lineup of creative teams” to “craft their own personal definitive DC stories.” According to DC’s official press release, the imprint is inspired by some of the publisher’s most successful prestige titles including Batman: The Killing Joke, The New Frontier, The Dark Knight Returns, and Watchmen.
>According to DC co-publisher Jim Lee, Black Label books, much like the predecessors that inspired the imprint, will be creator led, rather than continuity driven, takes on the DC universe. He said:
<Many of our perennially best-selling, critically acclaimed books were produced when we unleashed our top talent on standalone, often out-of-continuity projects featuring our most iconic characters…creating DC Black Label doubles down on our commitment to working with all-star talent and trusting them to tell epic, moving stories that only they can tell with the highest levels of creative freedom.”
>When thinking of DC Black Label, longtime fans might turn to DC’s “Earth One” graphic novels as a point of comparison. The Earth One comics, like Black Label’s future books, do away with the intricacies of the standard DC Universe continuity, choosing to focus on making their stories accessible to readers outside the direct market.
>Each of the Black Label books “will have a unique format and release schedule to best serve the story and creative vision.”
>This opens the door not only to standard single issues and OGNs under Black Label, but less standard formats such as Euro-sized comics as well.
I decided to make a new thread after all, but it is too late to remove my original posts in another DC imprint news thread. Janitors can feel free to take either this or my old posts down.

THE MOVEMENT
IT HAS BEEN SUMMONED.
In 2013, DC Comics finally released books to capitalize on Occupy Wall Street. Absorbing only the surface level "rich vs poor" ideas of the protests, DC produced two books. Representing the rich was The Green Team, teenage billionaires who stared at their phones for thirty pages, and the poor got THE MOVEMENT. While The Green Team was boring, and thus forgotten, THE MOVEMENT lived on as one of the most hilariously awful comics ever produced.
You better get ready to take to the streets, because it's time for

Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Storytime
Since the first issue of the threequel came out last week and that this crossover keeps getting better and better, I thought it would be a disservice not to share one of the only good and ==FUN== Batman books of the last decade.
Storytime: From Beyond and other Stories
Because it's too hot to go outside, I finally found time to scan "From Beyond and other Stories", which is a collection of several HP Lovecraft comics in B/W. I'm attempting to translate it for /co/, since as far as I know, there's only a Dutch and German version.
Had to do it with a decades old scanner and an even older computer.
The first story is about anon going outside. It's more text heavy, but other parts use traditional speech bubbles.

Has there ever been a cartoon where the characters age?
Like,, image The Simpsons or something, but where the characters get older as the seasons go on. And I don't mean like how these shows sometimes have and occasional birthday episode or they bump up the ages like with The Simpsons. I mean actually age, getting older every year.
Seems like it could be a good way to keep the show fresh as it goes on, as different ages have different things that they do/

Saturday Morning Cartoons
I've been watching old network promos because I hate myself and want to indulge myself in a nostalgia-induced depression, but now I want to discuss the cartoons that aired around them.
What killed off Saturday morning cartoons? Was it the larger availability of viewable timeslots on cable networks such as Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network to watch cartoons vs the limited timeslots broadcast networks offered? Were the broadcast networks just not getting enough quality shows as old ones ended? Or did they just get canned because shows aimed at older audiences were more profitable on broadcast even without a change in viewership? Which block did you watch the most? What was the one cartoon you couldn't miss when it was on?
I remember watching Kids' WB until all the shows I remember anyone talking about were all moved to Cartoon Network around 2006 or so. I don't even remember what was left on Kids' WB after that. In hindsight, it's not too surprising that 4kids took over the block in 2008.
Young Justice: Outsiders
The next three episodes are now up on DC Universe (US only). Here's the synopses of them:

A distant conflict sends the team on an away mission, while the Happy Harbor gang decides what to do with Brion Markov and Halo. Brion Markov is determined to rescue his missing sister – even if it means throwing down against the entire League of Shadows.

Twelve Forever
So, her friend is black or some mutt now, and now we have nigger astro boy to boot. It seems to have really gotten more grit compared to the cartoon network pilot.
Who is this show catering to? The same immature pretentious san fran hipsters as before? This show seems to be all over the place, it's dissonant, the main character has a different standard from the others but blends in the same "manic pixie" shit that is always regurgitated.
Tom & Jerry Live-Action Movie Currently in Development and other WB news
>Sources tell Variety that Warners and Warner Animation Group (WAG) are in negotiations with “Shaft” helmer Tim Story to direct the new “Tom and Jerry” live-action/animated hybrid. The studio has also brought on Chris Columbus as creative producer on the new “Scooby-Doo” animated movie.
>Warners has been strengthening its animation slate since production on the “The Lego Movie,” which coincided with the formation of Warner Animation Group in 2013. Allison Abbate was tapped to oversee the division and executives, including Jesse Ehrman and president of production Courtenay Valenti, have made a big push to get classic titles like the Hanna-Barbera properties off the ground. The studio understands how much of its history is rooted in these iconic characters, and wants to give them as much attention as DC and Harry Potter projects.
>Warner Bros. is aiming for a balance of animated features and live-action hybrids, and in a rare move, the studio has made a concerted effort to make sure the animation and live-action teams are working hand in hand in developing these projects, something rarely seen at other studios. Executives also understand that for the animation to be strong for the hybrid projects, the VFX some studios use won’t work as well as going through the animation process, starting with storyboarding the characters, instead of pre-vis, to help develop each individual’s arc.
>“Tom and Jerry” is expected to be the first live-action hybrid to shoot in 2019 and insiders say timing helped when it came to landing the “Ride Along” director, who had worked in animation. Story recently finished production on New Line’s “Shaft” reboot, and was talking to WB execs about what he was interested in doing next. When the classic cartoon property was brought up, Story immediately mentioned his admiration for the characters and how he’d love tackling that property. For that film, the plan is to shoot in the real world with animated versions of the familiar cat and mouse duo. Sources also say that since Tom and Jerry didn’t speak and relied on physical comedy to draw laughs, this version will stick to that style and not cast actors to voice the duo. That decision should also help add to the international appeal of the film.
>The other major live-action hybrid expected to go next year is the sequel to “Space Jam,” with NBA superstar LeBron James stepping into Michael Jordan’s shoes as he teams up with the Looney Tunes on the court this time around. “Black Panther” director Ryan Coogler is producing with Terence Nance directing. Production is expected to kick off next summer during James’ NBA off-season. The studio is also making a “Wile E. Coyote vs. ACME” hybrid feature, with Chris McKay from the Lego universe helping shepherd development.
>On the animation side, the untitled Scooby-Doo movie is full steam ahead with an expected release date in the first quarter of 2020. Columbus’ interest in the film started when he was developing the “Gremlins” reboot, which he is producing. Insiders say his affection for the character and WB animation was apparent, and he was soon asked to join the production as a creative producer working side by side with director Tony Cervone. Kelly Fremon Craig is writing the screenplay from a draft by Jack Donaldson and Derek Elliott. Matt Lieberman penned first draft. WAG is also gearing up on its “Jetsons” movie with Matt Lieberman and “Sausage Party” director Conrad Vernon, and is also in deep development on “Flintstones” and “Wacky Races” features. Outside of the classic cartoons, the Lego universe is still a major focus, with the sequel to “The Lego Movie 2” set for Feb. 8, 2019. The studio clearly sees this division as one of its top priorities going forward in terms of building its business for years to come. As for all the DC-related properties and the possibility of giving them the animated treatment, one studio insider said, “don’t count anything out.”

WTF Happened to Comics?
I've been out of comics for several years (2010ish) due to how shit it was getting. How the fuck did it get so bad? There's no art. Nobody is drawing anything. It's all 3d sketch up backgrounds and even traced people. The coloring is the big blob of shit. Everything is flat angles - just straight on shots. There's no dynamic perspectives or action. Covers are all fucking portfolio pieces. They dont reflect whats happening in the issue - just random pose with a logo that could go on any cover. I'm going to post a bunch of examples of what I'm seeing for examples.
Look at these covers - what are the issues about? WTF is that Thor cover? You cant even tell what is happening - its just puked out colors and blobs. Who would pick that up and look at it? These are all covers that were just shit out and slapped on at random.
