"Sexual coercion", also known as "I fucked a man to benefit from nepotism, then accused him of sexual crimes to benefit from victimhood"
Geoff Johns and Grant Morrison's Green Lantern Runs, the 2021 Crime Syndicate miniseries, Blackest Night, Forever Evil, and Flash rebirth are some good post Identity Crisis stories.
I mean his daughter is a whore and he tried to threaten Moot if her pictures were posted online. He has that British quality that Null has pointed out before and it's an odd smugness they carry.
Otto's daddy issues predate Slott's origin by a fair margin. I have the issue (Spider-Man Unlimited #3) that details his pre-Doc Ock origins and while Papa Ock was a raging drunk, Otto's mother coddled him and even manipulated him into breaking off his engagement with a co-worker. That story was also weird because it was framed by sub-plot of Otto attempting to cure HIV/AIDS because his ex-fiance contracted via tainted blood.
I saw some people complaining on Twitter complaining that this guy seemed to indicate that League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was the only important thing Kevin O'Neill ever did. I'm not sure I could sit through an an entire video with this person.
Yes, that was another thing I took issue with.
Yeah, that guy. Never heard of him before. Never gonna look into him again.
I'm a huge Ennis fanboy and even i wish he would tone it down from time to time, especially the euphoric atheism, it's beyond grating. I think Hitman is his best work, next to his Punisher MAX run, never really cared for Welcome Back, Frank though. 303 is a, i think, little known, very well-written story by him too, but the artwork is atrocious to the point that it affects my enjoyment of the series as a whole.
I can't believe there's actually someone out there that's legit bitching about the art in League of Extraordinary Gentleman, even if it's under a muh racism veneer. Absolutely plebian.
I actually liked Welcome Back Frank before it went off the rails with stupid shit like The Russian surviving decapitation, and Ma Gnucci being cloned. I've read .303 a couple of times, interesting story, but not my favorite by him. I do think that his Punisher MAX run is the best thing in comics though. Just amazing stuff, even if the artwork is lackluster during certain arcs. Howard Chaykin and Goran Parlov are definitely the artistic weak links in that series.
Punisher MAX was what got me back into US comics after more than a decade of manga-only, it's one of my all-time favourite comics. I really liked Chaykin's artwork in American Flagg! but was really weirded out by Punisher #50 and very happy to see that he was only doing that one issue, i have no idea what he was going for but it looked mostly dogshit except for one or two pages and a couple of panels. Parlov i find to be incredibly inconsistent, he has some solid art in the "Long, Cold Dark" arc and the first two issues of the "Barracuda" stand-alone series but then his work in the "Barracuda" arc and the later "Barracuda" issues look like shit in comparison, especially in regards to anatomy. There's this one panel were he drew Frank's forearms almost the size of his torso, it's just absurd. I generally like his style because you can clearly see the euro influence but i prefered the other artists working on Punisher MAX.
Fun fact: During Superior Spider-Man, Christos Gage (IIRC) wrote an arc in the Superior Spider-Man team-up book which retconned that entire story. He wrote that Doctor Octopus always fucking knew Norman Osborn was alive/was working with him behind the scenes to create new tech for Norman for a possible comeback until Otto decided to stop working for him out of ego, at which point Norman vindictively infected said ex-girlfriend with AIDS purely to punish Otto.
The ending was pure SJW bullshit of the highest order:
Didn't an Antman villain try to cure AIDS or some shit in the 90's? If I remember it was literally only to infect people with AIDS and hold the cure over their heads.
I haven't read or even heard of that book so no idea bout the larger context, but that sounds like the SJW FBI agent is revealed to be an ineffective retard and her conclusion and actions are proven to be wrong by ending up in Hell.
