there was a weird phase for awhile on this site where everyone pretended that gerard was like a shitty mid tier comic writer and like. You guys dont read enough comics. you dont know what bad comics look like.
#barry.txt#of course im wildly generalizing people are allowed to not like gerards comics#but some of it felt like grandstanding and it completely drowned out and kind of killed any interest ppl had in actually discussing them#either as art connected to mcr or totally seperately#and then that fucking show happened.#like the opposite of the doom patrol adaptation. Dragged down every character and fandomized them#so the fandom didnt have to try and do it themselves#stripped it of its satire and creativity. I liked s2 well enough but it bungled the dallas arc and it sounds like#s3 was even worse. which is INSANE bc hotel oblivion is some of gerards best work in comics#bc like. tua is a comic fans comic. in tone and structure and art. Like i enjoy it way more now that ive put a lot of#time into learning and reading more classic AND contemporary comics. Now i see what gerard is pulling from#what hes mocking or homaging. The kirby-esque coloring in hotobv when spaceboy and diego are in the Not Starship Enterprise#augh#anyway i have more to say but i need to check out a book and go groccery shoppjng ive been loitering in the library for like an hour#which is so funny bc i didnt even get to my actual point which is some of you havent read a lot of bad or mediocre comics#you didnt read the kupperburg doom patrol run before grant took over. ive seen things
