It's hard not to ignore a grown adult man such as yourself acting like
an immature ten year old calling people bitches and "slapping" people
online. You don't actually think you are actually slapping someone do
you? Well wait, you think you are a wrestler so maybe you do think
that. Your posts are like a train wreck Chad, it's hard not to look
away from the clusterfuck that is you.
> Don't bother answering; just shut up and DO THE MARIO, BITCH!
Quit acting like a ten year old, mmmmkay? 1999 called Chad, and it
wants to let you know that your shtick is old and annoying.
Or the dreaded "shut your cock holster and know your role, white trash
bitch" WTF? Why would I need a holster for my cock? It doesn't make
any sense but neither does an obese adult man telling me to dance
puppet dance.
I'm sorry Chad, but I don't need a holster for my ween. My dick's a LOT
bigger than yours according to some of the females in APWW you sent
pictures to, you've got one tiny pecker there buddy.
What are you, a 6th grader? That's something you'd say to a little kid
on a playground at lunch time.
"HEY I OWNED YOU IN DODGEBALL TODAY, BITCH!"
I'm sure you've heard this before but grow the fuck up. And while your
at it, do everyone a favor and shut the fuck up.
Enough, enough.
It's fun for about the last hour of a slow day at work, then it gets old
once you actually go outside and drive home. By now I'd rather argue about
wrestling than watch Chad flip and flounder with his "sock of the moment".
Let's talk about the important shit, comic books, wrestling, and those
Christy Hemme pics.
If you piss him off enough, he'll send you a picture of it over AIM!
And you're a stalker now? For responding to his posts? Geez, I knew he was
a clueless, paranoid idiot but wow.

Okay. One thing that has always bothered me is if someone is in a
bookstore and buys a comic book, how can that person fully understand the
plot of the story if it's an ongoing series? If there's a storyline
involving the Justice League fighting some kick-ass villian, should I still
buy the comic to enjoy the quality of the art within the panels and pages or
should I first try on my own to discover via other sources (such as the
Internet) on why and how they came to fight said villian?
I usually don't read comics...it's just that whenever I'm in my local
Waldenbooks here in town, they have an entire spinning rack of comics with
everything from The Simpsons to Justice League to . . . well, you name it.
Always made me wonder how they hold their storylines and if the quality of
the writing -- and even the artwork -- is influenced by making sure that
anyone picking up the comic and browsing at random could understand what was
going on.
Good question. Sometimes it's fairly easy to do. Sometimes not.
Marvel Comics have been putting a "This happened previously" page into
all of the books that explains what the overall situation with the main
character(s) is (are) and what the storyline particulars up to that
point are. DC tends to be a little less chapter structured but they
don't have the recap page. So it really depends on the book, the
creators involved and the company itself sometimes. For the most part
you should be able to understand what is going on. But sometimes even
the most hardcore fans will have trouble.
Also, it helps that currently in Marvel, they don't seem to give a shit about contiunuity, and most
writers (especially the "big name ones") tend to ignore recent history in favor to have their story
fit.

Also, a lot of stories are "story arcs" which may run only for a handful of
books, or spread across a couple of books. This allows you to have "mini"
plots which may or may not have to be resolved in 32 pages, but will seem
"complete" to anyone else just jumping in. For instance, a Spider-Man comic
may have a subplot that takes it over several books, but the issue that
you're holding in your hand is essentially a complete story, say
Spider-Man's fight with the Lizard, and his ongoing troubles at school
coming to a head. This will all seem complete to you, the casual reader who
picked up spidey, got a few kickass pages of Lizard fighting, a couple of
good teen angst pages about high school, yet still teases the subplot enough
to make you go, "oh wait, who was that shadowy figure on page 13 and what
does he have to do with this?" which may cause you to come back next month
to pick up the next issue.
Just look at a series like Buffy or Angel or any of those hour long, mini
comic book shows. They're basically doing the exact same thing. Buffy has a
lot of shit she's got to get thru this episode, but at the same time,
there's a subplot going on that gives the regular viewers their larger,
overall story, but at the same time satisfies the casual viewer who stopped
flipping because the hot blonde was killing vampires.
That's nothing new really. The only difference is the creative teams
change more often. I just grabbed Captain America #2 from the library.
Kurt Busiek wrote the only letter in the letter's page and it really
made it more apparent to me that this always happened.
Good. At least if I miss an episode of Justice League Unlimited on Cartoon
Network, I can go to tvtome.com and read up on what I missed. This makes it
easier to understand the storyline arcs. For example, if I had missed last
season's work, I might not know what the deal was with Hawkgirl. Using the
Internet and a page like tvtome.com, I can.
I suppose it's a little like soap operas in that if you tune in mid-season
and decide you like it, you might not be quite sure WHY you like it because
of the storyline arc having begun way, way back. If Doctor X's twin brother
shows up you might not understand what the significance of that is. Or if
someone comes out of a coma, how the hell did they get there in the first
place?
A good example I guess would be the Grundy storyline in Justice League...I
really enjoyed that episode's ending because I had seen the one last season
where he was killed. To fully appreciate the episode and why Hawkgirl had
to do what she did at the end, that prior episode would have been necessary
to understand or at least know the plot of.
Comics have it harder, though. I mean, wouldn't the extra space/pages for
the explanation of "Previously in this story line" cost more money to
produce? Or would there be minimal cost? And how much do you put into a
'previously in this story line' explanation? Do you use any artwork from
previous issues or is it text only? So many questions, so few answers...

Growing up in the 1980s I would see comic books on sale all the time. I
picked up more than my share and several times I found myself wondering why
this villian was trying to kill this hero. Or why this event was taking
place and the entire storyline focused on that event and only that event.
Since the comic books come out monthly, and usually the previous month is
sold off the shelves or removed by the seller, it would be difficult to
figure out what was going on. Getting back to my previous comments, I
suppose that's the beauty of the Internet. There are forums like
toonzone.com and other sites that can allow you to look up the storyline
arcs of the comics just like you can look up the storylines of cartoons like
Justice League.
There's a whole other topic on how different the characters appear from the
comic books (as is frequently mentioned in the tvtome entries) but that's
not exactly the same thing I suppose.
Yes.
This is exactly what I was wondering about. Sure, the publishers want to
keep their current fan base, but just like supermarket tabloids placed by
the check out counter, they want to pick up new readers too. So somewhere
out there, there has to be a plan or a marketing stragedy or something to
that effect that says, "Hey, this is how you keep the attention of the idiot
who can't figure out what book they want to buy and instead they're looking
at your comic book that happened to be on the rack at eye level. This is
how you make sure that the idiot who can't figure out the difference between
Dickenson and their dick buys your comic book when they finally make their
way to the register."

That's what I was wondering about. If it was possible to even DO that.
Have a kick-ass storyline but still do justice and not trample on your
previous storylines (or any future ones) and yet, at the same time, the
Average Joe on the street browsing through a baseball card/comic book shop
or a Waldenbooks could pick up the comic and enjoy it enough and understand
what was going on to either want more of it or to try to find out what had
happened before that single comic's publication.

Hmmm...wouldn't the same apply to many other shows on television? NBC does
this often. "Previously on E.R." or "Previously on West Wing."

Well, I think writers in the 70's and 80's still had to follow prior history as there wasn't much of
it back then. Heck, the X-Men only had one book back then.
It is the combination of more comics books and creative teams that has caused the phemomenon (1$ to
Big Poppa Pump) of ignoring some parts of contuinuity.
Deer Chad,
It's a wrestling newsgroup. Nobody wins. Nobody loses. There are no
C-Teams, no B-Teams, and no A-Teams. Everyone is the same so quit
treating Usenet like it's a wrestling federation, mmmkay?
Sincerely,
REALITY.
That's why they only put out a page. They usually take it out of the story, instead of an
advertisement, duh.
> And how much do you put into a
> 'previously in this story line' explanation?
Well, they won't go into the whole history of the character, they'll only mention what's important
and necessary and relevant to the comic you're holding in your hands.
It's like when you watch a TV show and they have a "Previously on..." at the start of the issue.
They won't include an entire subplot that isn't mentioned in the actual episode, they'll only show
was is important to the show you're going to watch.
>Do you use any artwork from
> previous issues or is it text only?
For Marvel, they include the cover of the previous issues, sometimes.
You're already thinking way too much. He's trying to kill the hero because
he's the hero. That's what villains do.
Comics can do that, but it is harder to do than compared to tv shows.
Honestly, Marvel doesn't do what Krusty said anymore.They tend to elongate that main story into 3 to
6 issues, and that pisses me off (look at any Bendis book - and the worst part is that Bendis makes
it work because he's so good).
Or maybe he's trying to kill the hero because the hero has been foiling his evil plans every time
since the 1940's or 60's.
Makes sense.
Now tell me how the last episode of "Justice League: Unlimited" corresponds
with "Batman Beyond." Did a future Bruce Wayne know he'd have a replacement
and that was why he didn't want Terry to become Batman? (with thanks to
tvtome.com once again).
Easy. Cheap pops.
And there's one golden rule about comic book continuity:
There really isn't any.
Batman has pointy ears and that's about it. Superman is from Krypton, and
wears a blue suit and a cape and that's about it. Peter Parker was bitten by
a radioactive spider, and that's about it.
Sometimes Batman has Robin. Sometimes Robin isn't there. Sometimes Robin is
a different person. Sometimes he dies, and sometimes he lives. Sometimes
he's a she.
Sometimes Superman likes Lois Lane, sometimes he doesn't. Sometimes he
marries her, and sometimes he doesn't. Sometimes kryptonite hurts him,
sometimes it doesn't.
It makes it a whole lot easier if you just think of comics as more "loose
interpretations" of well known stories.
And trying to tie cartoons that MAY or MAY NOT be based on canon together in
any way even remotely is an exercise in futility. There's NOTHING to say
that the "Batman Beyond" you even SAW in the Justice League Cartoon was even
the SAME "Batman Beyond".
As Stefan pointed out. Superhero Comics are really just modern Mythology.
You're open to your own interpretation. Your version of "Hercules" may not
necessarily be my version of "Hercules" but they're still both pretty much
the same Hercules.
Or maybe it's just something as simple as "you cost me my hair".
Interesting.
Would you say the above applied to Magneto?
Magneto tries to kill humans. The X-Mn get in his way. Then Magneto
tries to kill them.
