Fighting relativity

Basically, he's a rogue Doctor.

In the Authority, the Doctor is Earth's Shaman. He's a reality warper that can do anything as long as he can think of it in poetic terms. Previous Doctors included Jesus, Mohammad, Buddha, and some other myth figures. The current (at the time) Doctor is Jeroen, a Dutch billionaire genius who ended up burning out due to the stress, going broke, getting the powers of the Doctor, and getting addicted to heroin and horse pornography to drown out his responsibility.

The scale of his powers? He once went to another universe and held Italy in place while the rest of the world rotated, drowning the entire country.

To get help with some shit, he promised to give the only living previous Doctor, a madman who had his powers stripped from him, his powers for one hour. The first thing the renegade Doctor did was get rid of the time limit. Then he proceeded to fuck everyone's shit up, including raping Angie as a child, just for shits and giggles. Until the rest of the Doctor's powers, such as empathy for every living thing on the planet, kicked in.

Wally, please

Wouldn't be the last time she gets literally screwed, either.

In another storyline, the characters all get the shit kicked out of them and captured. The metal chick has all of the nanomachines in her blood pumped out of her and replaced with an HIV positive drug addict's blood, stuck with a bunch of child actors who make her life hell, and an abusive husband. And she works a dead-end retail job where no one respects her, but that's normal for retail.

>striking the villain when they get careless

Was actually going for Khepri, but that works to.

Should have posted what he did to Inertia.

He didn't beat Inertia by forcing him to watch the moment where his fiancee was murdered over and over again.

God capeshit is such trash.

Ashley is his ex-wife. She wasn't dead. What he's reliving is the moment when he gave bad advice to her father, a police negotiator, about what a suspect was likely to do, resulting in her father's death. That, in turn, not only destroyed his career in the FBI but also lead to his divorce.

What can we say? It's Millar time.

Hiring Mark Millar to follow Warren Ellis is like hiring Uwe Boll to follow Brad Bird.

My bad. Misremembered.

Still, a totally different thing. Inertia's defeat doesn't fit the description. Zoom's does.

It'd be terrible if Goldielocks wasn't terrible himself. Kinda ironic Taylor finds herself resorting to being a bully a lot, though.

Try to hold back your cringe but I had a forum RP character who was fine.

Lifelong bodyguards for each member of the family line, leading up to a destined event. The character himself having been saved from several time travelling assassins and a few bombs that detonated right after appearing.

Making the bodyguard question why so many wanted to kill a baby.

He did kinda leave him imprisoned in his own body as a statue, forced to stare at the source of his inadequacy.

so wait, he traveled back in time and sexually molested her during the conversation?

I've only ever read the Warren Ellis stuff. Holy shit. How does anyone that bad even get hired?

He didn't travel back in time and molest her. He retconned the universe so that he had always molested her.

Decently hawt. What's her name?

The Dark Knight Returns

Bit of a fine point of distinction, considering per definition all time travel to the past would necessarily involve retconning things so that x would have always been the case, but okay.

Isn't everything "bad news" in the authority? That character was de-powered and had her memory re-written to be the wife of a an abusive husband with every STD known to man and have 3 or 4 children who hated her. Then she ended up as the brianwashed sexslave of some guy who made her bake cakes all day so he could dump them in the trash then make her give him blowjobs until she passed out, every day for years.

It's just the mustache twirly capeshit way to say time travel.

Like those fags who say graphic novel instead of comic books, shit is the same thing they just change the name to sound clever.

its so bad its good / ironic liking

>The Dark Knight Returns
that's FRANK Miller you dingus

wtf, this must be fake

It's not and it's incredibly stupid.

nope

Vagina set to explode if aborted? Or that any random bored playboy 1 million in the bank can hire some kind of super-villain make a wish foundation and hold the entire planet hostage?

This is amazing.

That is the funniest thing I've seen in ages. Please tell me the rest of it is this good

I'm downloading it now.
Brace for impact.

That's small time.

...

>Edgy overhyped capeshit is such trash
Remember when capeshit was fun?
Like the Young Justice comics?
I remember.
How the mighty have fallen.

This is the biggest masterpiece of humanity

...

It's in the miller's "wanted" universe. Bad guys won, re-wrote the entire universe was re-written where only bad guys exist, they get to flash a badguy license at cops which allows them to kill AND rape everyone in a police station without even the slightest resistance. Every famous person has been repeatedly raped by the badguys.

By reading Bananas Enough for Time Travel and not worrying about anyone's ability to change the past

Thawne's cool and all, but Zolomon was a better and more terrifying Zoom.

Remember how Young Justice was literally ended by robot Superman murdering chunks of thier team so they coukd be rebooted into the TV teen titans?

Nemesis was in the same continuity as Wanted? That's a fucking shame. I just thought it was just Millar presents EDGY Batman".

i'd like him to GM a game for me to see where it'd go
his ideas are interesting, but he always edges them up

he's also down with the fur

I don't remember that from Nemesis unless it was in the sequel

...

No, Wanted was something entirely different.

So why Zoom hates Barry so fucking much?

Thawne hated Barry, Zolomon honestly thought he was helping Wally.

One of the Infinity game does this by trapping them in an endless loop, if I recall correctly.

depends on which one it is
there was a Reverse Flash that was just a petty criminal, Professor Zoom from the future who's a dick, and Zoom because Flash won't time travel to fix his personal problems

>im too good for google:the post

Is that scene as tounge in cheek as wanted or, played totaly straight? Because wanted was delightfully overblown.

There's more than one? Huh, I should get some time and read through that whole clusterfuck

By instilling belief in Fatalism.

There are three reverse flashes, four if Impulse counts as one.

Wait, not Impulse, Inertia, wrong speedster who's name starts with I.

The only good part of that shitshow was the president.

who you callin a dingus, dingus

there's also the new one from the Nu52

Now I can't see zoom without thinking of Azula

>implying that edginess isn't what makes Millar's run on The Authority fun
I bet you didn't like Wanted too.

Authority is a constant game of one upsmanship except what your competing in is seeing how much of an Super EDGY douche you can make everybody

Authority started out okay it was Ellis' Watchmen the idea being that you wouldn't want a Justice League analog to exist a group of people with godlike power deciding they know better than you

Then Millar came in and left his signature brand of shit all over the property sure it was edgy and tryhard before but not nearly to the levels the series got later in its run

>Loss.jpg

Strictly speaking Reverse-Flash is type of villain, a villainous speedster with a personal connection to the Flash. There are five Reverse Flashes: The Rival who fought Jay Garrick the Golden Age Flash, Professor Zoom who fought Barry Allen, Zoom who fought Wally West, Inertia who fought Bart Allen, and Daniel West, the only one to be named Reverse Flash, who also fought Barry Allen in the Nu52 continuity.

...

>the idea being that you wouldn't want a Justice League analog to exist a group of people with godlike power deciding they know better than you

That's not really true, Ellis' run is fairly neutral towards the Authority. There is a more negative tone towards them in Planetary, but that's in line with the differences between methodology of the two groups.

Nothing at all. I just enjoy all my capeshit as long as it's crafted good-like. The worse thing for capeshit is to be dull (see: Ms. Marvel, which is boring as shit, even if Kamalah IS cute).

Was wondering if anyone would catch that.

if they spice it up it'll be haram

Honestly, it's more of a Tumblr meme at this point.

Ms. Marvel is very obviously paced for the trade though. When it first was released comparing it to ANAD Ghost Rider was like night and day.

Sandman: the Overture is paced for the trade.

And yet, it was not boring as fuck.

In my defense, if I can't read through it in under 30 minutes it's a graphic novel not a comic.

>edge killing a none edgy line
It's like pottery

>The scale of his powers? He once went to another universe and held Italy in place while the rest of the world rotated, drowning the entire country.

In his defense, the entire country was full of elves at the time and deserved it.

"I will not be undone by such amateur hour horseshit as absorbing too much power and exploding!"

Didn't PAD step down after resurrecting Secret?

... the author of All Your Pain.

Pointing out that something compares unfavourably to Sandman is of no real value; Something doesn't have to look good compared to one of the best comics ever written to be worthwhile.

That can be your personal standard, if you like, and power to you for making a stand on what's worth your time to read. But if it was the industry's standard, well... there would be no industry.

post more of my waifu pls

Sauce on pic?

The uncensored pages of the volume %27 of the Authority, the Swift brainwashed arc.

In the original, Swift is almost robot-like and made to do humiliating things. In the censored version, she's a housewife that cries a lot because her husband is abusive.

I prefer humiliation robot Swift. That's all, by the way.

What a ridiculous "I'm 2edgy2evil" costume

And the replacement pages, because why not.

...

Angie Spica, The Engineer.

>Then she ended up as the brianwashed sexslave of some guy who made her bake cakes all day so he could dump them in the trash then make her give him blowjobs until she passed out, every day for years.

That happened to Swift, the winged chick in . It only lasted for a few weeks. He turned her into a 50s meat-eating housewife, despite the fact that she was a vegetarian Bhuddist beforehand

If anything, the Authority was the JSA. They were modern age heroes with modern power levels operating with a Golden Age mentality.

Is there anything by Millar that isn't edge for edge's sake shitshow?

The thing with four dimensional/time travelling anything is that generally if you beat them you're ALWAYS GOING TO HAVE BEAT THEM because of the nature of causality

So, stuff will either work out or it won't generally

Actually, yes!

He wrote a few episodes of Sonic the Comic, a few episodes of the DCAU Superman comics, a very Silver Age Flash story in the 90s (the one where everyone takes "Flash can run faster than instant teleportation" out of context. In the comic, he stole the speed of everyone on Earth and an entire planet of sentient radio waves to do it.), Starlight (It sets itself up as dark and edgy, but it's a fairly good Flash Gordon/Buck Rogers-style plot), and Superior (which is a straight up love letter to Captain Marvel and Superman.)

Then again, he's also the guy who brought us Trouble (The Marvel 'soap opera' miniseries that tried to retcon it so that Aunt May was Peter Parker's real mother), Civil War, and the Unfunnies.

that's kind of hot to be honest
