Post your Hot Takes here! 1 1

Oooh steamy!  

Post a sizzling take related to comics or comic collecting here.

To start us off, here's something:

Tim Seeley is the best writer working in comics today.

Tim is a pretty good artist too, but his writing is leagues better and extremely underrated. I truly believe he could write the next classic if he was ever given the reigns to a big two event. However, i'd rather read him write his own characters anyway. 

[Ken Aldred]

Not convinced Seeley is objectively the best, as I like a very wide range of comics and subject matter to choose from, necessitating me to cast wider with less focus and to respect more than just the one A-list writer.

Nonetheless, he is extremely talented; Hack / Slash, Revival, Grayson / Batman / Nightwing, all great stuff.

Superman is way too powerful. 

Seriously, how could he ever struggle with anyone? Yeah yeah kryptonite sure. But that feels forced and how often would that really come into play. It's not like it's just laying around.

He basically has every power including invincibility.  If superman existed in the real world no other super hero would ever be needed. I'm not a DC guy so I've never read a superman comic entirely, but I cant imagine how they came up with enough material to keep writing monthly issues for over 80 years for this guy.

Fraction and Brubaker are the two most important writers in the past 20 years.. from a writing, storyline, and literary standpoint

Unlikely you'd even have a few small pieces; remnants of a shattered planet light years distant, ending up making it all the way to Earth?

Hot take: Peach's art will fizzle out within 3 years.

Superman isn't interesting because of his power set. He's interesting because of his human psyche and his morals.

Yup.  The moral compass given to him by his upbringing with the Kents.

Superman changed the face of comics forever in 38,without him super heroes comics would be very different today

Watchmen holds up really well, but The Dark Knight Returns really doesn't.

[unclezebo]

Hot take:

The reason why most 90's comics are drek, is because of a lack of....

1. Pouches

2. Edgy heroes

3. Wolverine in more books

4. More artist who could draw feet like Rob Liefeld.

Read DKR's as a satire, it's much more enjoyable.
