How is that sexist? Please. I want to hear you explain it.

The 'All Star Superman' Animated Movie: One of the Best [Review] {ComicsAlliance}
Feb 22nd 2011 6:53PM I know what Ken's trying to say, and I think he's right. The movie was an interesting experience for me because, while I've really liked everything I've read by Morrisson, I've never actually read All-Star Superman. From that perspective, all I could think to myself was, "Wow, I bet this is all a blast to READ about..." But as a movie, it just seemed like a series of mostly unrelated events, without any sense of tension.
Atlas and Samson tell Superman that he's gonna answer the unanswerable question as according to legend, and then everyone takes two steps to the left, and oh look, it's the Ultra-Sphinx. Then Superman answers him using an ad from a newspaper Samson handed him two seconds ago. Every conflict was like that. Like getting a movie or book summarized for you by a child, or an excitable friend who wants to ruin the story for you.

Nov 7th 2010 6:44PM This is a late comment, but...somehow, the image of the gates of Wayne Manor being open on Halloween night, with a lighted path up to the doorsteps, fills me with delight.
Also? Genius treat from the Joker.

May 15th 2010 4:25PM @ j:
Maybe your friend would find it easier to read comics where the word bubbles are drawn freehand? That can be easier on the eyes sometimes, because it looks like it's part of the pictures, y'know? Vampire Loves by Joann Sfar (gorgeous), Nightmares & Fairytales by Serena Valentino, and Bizenghast by M. Alice LeGrow are a few stylistic, spooky titles I would recommend, if she's the type that likes things that are spooky-but-girly. The first two have hand drawn word bubbles.
In manga, word bubbles are generally whispy and unintrusive. In that direction, I'd recommend Homunculus by Hideo Yamamoto. Amaaazing art, not really "dark" in style but the story is so, so creepy. Monster by Naoki Urasawa is a critically acclaimed murder mystery set in WWII - never read it myself, but the art I've seen is very spooky and noir-ish. I also tend to recommend Hellsing by Kouta Hirano, which is very fun (vampires! nazis! vampire nazis!!), but also rather violent, so it's not to everyone's taste. And, again, in the girly-goth direction, Black Butler by Yana Toboso, for lessons on demon servitors and English manners.
Hope that helps a little!
