None... It's hilarious/sad when you're trying to explain characters and their back stories to your friends who know nothing about comic books. They literally look at you like you're speaking another language :dunno haha.

Recent conversation has revealed that some of our friends have no clue who Poison Ivy, Wolverine, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are... Usually we just gasp and go shame on you! we can't be friends anymore! xD

Explaining ANY characters backstory to a non reader in the modern age of comic reboots is like trying to Explain Einstein Physics to CHIMPS. It just HURTS.

I tried to explain the Crisis, Zero Hour, Infinite Crisis, Blackest Night, Flashpoint, and the New 52 to an enthusiastic group of comic loving students this year, and HONESTLY I thought their heads were going to explode.
 
One of my anticipated pieces for 2014. Hopefully, they do something about the Spaghetti eyes thing. I'd love just a straight up light up feature.

Hey Spidey :) im a super newb but have been following these posts for over a year as i had mentioned in the Batman PF forum. Bit of a fan of yourself and of Bruce as well :bow (started watching Bruce's videos cause of these forums). I know exactly how you feel about trying to explain story lines to chimps.
I too orderd the EX and cannot wait - f@#$ the haters. EX or FAIL!

P.S. Bruce why you hate Marvel so much :(
 
You prob didn't go see Marvels Avengers right BCC?:wink1:

Lol King. But he probably saw Nolan's The Dark Knight Trilogy starring the World's Dumbest Detective or Green skin on the barfers post Green Lantern or SPOILER Superman killing Zod because Zod killed a family of four when Superman willfully led him into buildings full of thousands of ppl on his Super game of tag lol
 
Yeah I saw that flick it was ok if you like children's films sir.

GL was not exactly Spielberg or wait for it...even Brett Ratner couldve done a better job with that toilet paper script. Warner should sell DC to Disney lol or Nickolodeon (and wtf about cancelling the GL Animated Series)

Lol but I still think you're cool and have an awesome collection of wicked things. Also what are your opinions about Lantern Corps PFs (Toma Re, Killawog etc) as well as a Swamp Thing PF (as you are a DC fan) and do you thing think the DC license will give us a John Constantine PF? :pray:

lol King and Bruce, dont get me wrong I LOVE DC!, I grew up watching the Fleischer cartoons and 60's Batman, have the Complete Animated Series on DVD (have to rebuy BluRay) and have been into comics since a police officer came to my grade 1 classroom with a Spiderman comic made to deter kids from a life of criminality, when current 'comicbook guys' were still closet about being into this stuff. I love the characters their stories and origins and I have such a man crush on Batman (like who doesn't really) but I ***ing hate this stupid crap Nolanverse (**** you Nolanites he's a piece of **** and has ruined DC movies and the entire comic book genre with his ****ing stupid "vision". Fox and Sony and SINGGGGERRRR (probably the worst human being ever) ruined them for movies, and lol yes AVengers was like a 'kids' movie but when where Marvel and DC for grown *** men like us? It was fun, funny, entertaining, full of action and didnt try to be and turn itself into some pretentious piece of ****! And lo and behold the box office King of Comic Book Movies!
He turned the most obsessive detective/superhero into a moron that walks into traps that anyone reading a newspaper would know, he made the Big Blue Boy Scout snap a man's neck after he himself caused the deaths of tens of thousands of ppl. He helped himself and Snyder utterly destroy the essence of these characters and what makes them great. Movies aside, just wanted to know why he hated marvel lol. Marvel doesn't suck, Marvel made real stories about real ppl/mutant/heroes that were true to life and didn't sugar-coat things. SOme of the grittiest and best stories out of the 70's 80's and 90s that DC made were because of heavy influence from Marvel.
Just wish we didn't have a new 52 and the crap that comes out as comic book stories nowadays but whatever. Lol sorry for rant :(
 
Oh I was under the impression that this was not a serious conversation.

Sorry Bruce it wasn't. Im just really passionate about my characters (DC and Marvel) and the movie bit got me thrown off cause i hate the movies that are made nowadays based on comics lol and no one understands me like you guys would so sorry again for the craziness from the new guy:slap
 
tl;dr

lol I don't really hate Marvel dude geez. I got loads of Marvel comics. I was a DC fan first coz the the Reeve Superman movie. I don't collect Marvel figs tho (fortunately) and I do hate Spider-Man. **** Spider-Man.
 
I think the lack of PFs this ComicCon has really gotten me edgy man. Also got into an accident and have been stuck at home and day after day I am disappointed (like who really wanted a BW Pf? and damn all the Damn Snot Toys and 1/6 in general are driving me insane. Does anybody really need a star-spangled Captain America (wasn't he loserish enough in the movie?)
