I'm legit suprised as of this posting marvel hasn't tried to memory hole the punisher. Given how the skull image has been copted by the army, the police, and blue lives matter. but you can still for the most part go on sites that have banned everything from maga to dont tread on me merch and still buy punisher pins, hats, shirts, ect.

it's not Japanese.
probably because the creator of the punisher spoke out against the co-opting?
I get the sentiment but man law enforcement shouldn't be publicly parading Punisher Merc to that extent lmfao.
That's their target. They want that weeb crowd and they can't actually get real Japan stuff. So they make home-brew stuff and that imitates it. They've tried it on and off now for about thirty years.
Anime/Manga is on the block. They just have the problem that the Japanese don't want foreigners mucking in their stuff.
Eh, they think it looks cool. That and Frank's been canonically a Marine and a Cop. They like that. Semper Fie and all that.

which on gerry conway or ross andreu? and iircc one or poisssbly both of them where libs when the punisher was created....and i mean old school libertarian libs like the writers of mad magazine (rip) john carpenter or steven king before the tds and he went full lib tard. they knew the right was full of idiots who blindly followed a indiotic philopshy but so was the left so really they just took shade at both and tried to strike a happy medium in between.
Honestly that's probably what i miss most in comics from like the 60's to the 90's maybe the pre second term bush era 2000's. You had some people like stan lee and Steve ditko who despite being on very different end of the political spectrum, were mostly able to put their ideals either aside or only moderately push them in their work (putting aside the almost cowlike behavior ditko did while he worked at marvel but again may he rip) like in everything else creators put the stories first then the characters than maybe they'd put a little of themselves or what they belived in. Nowadys its just "LOOK AT ME! SEE HOW VIRTOUIS AND GOOD I AM! I MADE THIS CHARACTER LGBTQXYZ EVEN THOUGHT THE ORIGINAL CREATORS NEVER INTEDENDED FOR IT! ISN'T THAT SO MUCH BETTER AND MORE FORWARD THINKING THAN THOSE OLD RASISCTS FROM THE 50S!?
sorry, but it does say "sperg" about comics here.

In that spirit, I'm not too worried about DC eating up their MacSashimi, as long as their reach doesn't extend to the actual japanese icons.

Issue 12 of LOSH dropped this week. While it doesn't announce itself as the final issue, it feels as rushed as a series that was told there was cancelled and has to wrap up its story all in one issue.
There was so many characters coming and going with little to no explanation - just a string of things happening to move the plot to the end. It ends with no next issue solitican, but with a note about "To be continued in Future State", which echos a lot of previous instances of a cancelled comic tying up loose ends in another comic or crossover event.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. Now get Giffen or Johns or even Waid (His Threeboot was 100x better than this shitpile) to relaunch the book and never ever let Bendis go near the Legion ever again.

And then it continues, under Bendis, into Future State?
I just can't even. It's a Bendis comic. Nothing of value could have come from it.
Waid is a huge Legion fanboy. If he can silence the orange specter that haunts his every waking thought for five seconds he might actually write something good....
Okay. I'll level with you right now. I actually like the LOSH allot. Waid's Threeboot was unbearable for me and Johns' Retroboot was only a half step up. I'm okay with either leaving it on the shelf for a decade or, in my dreams, bringing Dan Abnett in and have him write it.

I've been a fan since the early 80s pre-Crisis days. My favorite iteration is the team when the founders semi-retired and new blood like Tellus, Magnetic Kid, and Quislet joined, along with Jeckie in disguise as Sensor Girl. I also enjoyed the DnA post Zero Hour team, and even the post Infinite Crisis Threeboot team (until it lost its way once Waid left), but Bendis' post Doomsday Clock team was just that bald fuck throwing crap against the wall and expecting people to lick it up because he's BENDIS!
The only saving grace of "Bendis LOSH" was Ryan Sook's art.
Feels man. Darkness Saga. Paul Levitz and Keith Giffen. Fine tastes brother.
Reboot Legion (Zero Hour era team) was actually Mark Waid and Tom Mcraw written with Waid being replaced after the first year by Tom Peyer and Roger Stern. That run lasted for over five years when Andy and Dan took over. Man, Legion Lost was incredible. That whole run.
Bendis always gets top tier talent. I read the initial mini and agree, it was fucking terrible. I ordinarily wouldn't subject myself to Bendis but I was hungry for some LOSH.

Legion Lost was better than it had any right to be. The reveal of the Progenitor and what he did to Monstress really shocked me.
Yeah. The artwork was perfect and that ending was just a gut punch. But its dark done right. Long live the Legion!
Because it looks cool and because Ian Churchill is a 90s artist.
BTW, of all the NotCass Cain stuff from this era I liked this the best. It was all trash and a pox on Didio and everyone invoked, but Joe Kelly at least tried to make her actions have some sense.

Can someone recommend some limited series (or "graphic novel") format sci-fi?

Much as I dislike Edgelord Ennis, I kinda liked Caliban.

Somehow I missed out on this one, and I actually enjoy Ennis quite a bit. Thanks!

Not DC-related, but didn't Marvel once have a really gay crossover with Attack on Titan? I figure its only a matter of time before DC and more Marvel comics try to do the same in an attempt to cash in on the fortune and popularity that weeb shit has been siphoning from them. The only reason they probably went for RWBY is because its already owned by WB (so less licensing and fees to deal with) and they can milk it indefinitely if this shitty crossover goes well, which it won't.

This is exactly how Bendis has been ending a lot of his books of late. His run on Miles Morales ended like this, where it felt like he was supposed to have 6 more issues and they cut it short. Same with his Young Justice run which also gave Tim Drake a new, shitty costume and name only to backtrack on it like 3 issues later because he planned for a huge arc around Tim and then the book got cancelled. I wasn't reading LOSH, but man it pissed me off when it happened with Miles and YJ, especially YJ which I thought had a really solid fun opening buildup before completely falling apart. At least his Miles run put everything back in the box for a better writer to play with.

Very, very few. Most comic book related youtubers are wiki and plot summarizers. Another common alternative are comic book hauls and manchildren reacting to comics and endlessly speculating, like ComicPop.
Some decent channels are:
Alpha Rookie - people running it own a comic book store, and channel is on a hiatus. They mainly cover films, but venture into comics too. They go for more niche stuff that's good and will introduce you to books you might not have heard of otherwise. Sadly, they do not have too many videos.
Comic Tropes - only large comic book youtube channel that I would consider decent. Currently the tropes thing has nothing to do with channel's content, as he stopped leaning heavily on trope discussion couple years ago. His reviews/retrospectives are a bit heavy on plot summaries, but unlike most other channels he goes beyond that. Things like creator's history, circumstances behind comics' creation, and so on get covered too. Some videos discuss specific creators, trends within industry, interviews with people, and niche comic books get covered too. He even managed to talk about things like Cerebus without falling apart or ranting, even though Sim is the polar opposite of guys's politics.
Strange Brain Parts - video essays on comics. Pretty good if a bit pretentious. Guy running the channel has a thing for early 2000s and late 90s indie and niche stuff, and for Vertigo titles, but he does not cover these exclusively. Pretty good about not sperging out about comics that might go against his sensibilities. Only time I have seen him get pissy, was Q&A video when a question about current state of comics industry, creators, and quality appeared. This was at the peak of comics gate, so he assumed one of supporters was asking the question.
Earl Gray - what if YaBoi was a German guy with a large and varied comics collection. He flips through books and talks about them a bit. Very large variety of stuff covered, and he tends to be more knowledgeable than Rich too. Good source to find interesting niche and foreign books. His tastes are a bit of a mixed bag, however.
I am sure there are more, but I can't think of anything else at the moment.
Ennis is a borderline "Hail Britain!" nut, and he is obsessed with SAS especially. Glorifying any foreign military rubs him the wrong way, as it supposedly takes away from royal forces' glory. These people tend to have inferiority complex towards American military, probably because British heavily depended on the U.S. in WW2 and Americans were the dominant military ever since. People like him get angry when you point out that during WW2 Polish and French resistances had to hand Britain enigma and intelligence, and that it was actually Americans and Russians who sealed the deal.
No doubt. They have somewhat of a hold in videogames and anime industry through localization companies. Scanlating comics is far less work and resource intensive, so it is tougher to maintain a grip on manga. Still, few years ago there was that Attack on Titan anthology made in the U.S. It was full of typical pandering and idiocy.
