AICN COMICS PROUDLY PRESENTS THE 2ND ANNUAL @$$IE AWARDS!!!!

Omar meet Umar by Jedibobster	Mar 3rd, 2006 06:41:57 AM
Yeah, that made me chuckle.
OMAC! by Jedibobster	Mar 3rd, 2006 06:44:31 AM
Except it was Omac of course.
well then... by Disco Banes	Mar 3rd, 2006 06:44:48 AM
that was a fun read
All to Myself by Jedibobster	Mar 3rd, 2006 06:48:28 AM
Ooh..I got this thread all to myself. Do I have to say 'First' then? sigh First. And Second. And third, unless I'm not. Anyway nice article, not that I read it ALL, but the bits I dipped into were good. Although the Brokeback quit-gags are getting real old real fast.
Harbinger is Lapham's best work by x-oManowar	Mar 3rd, 2006 06:50:00 AM
Punisher/Daredevil was great. So is Stray Bullets. But he's never been as good as he was at valiant comics.
Punisher: The Cell was indeed awesome by Steve Rogers	Mar 3rd, 2006 06:58:46 AM
And Infinite Crisis licks balls. As does All Star Batfuck & Robin The Boy Wiseass. Shocking stuff (in a bad way).
Stop Raping Me? by lsmith	Mar 3rd, 2006 07:58:54 AM
Can someone please explain to me under what context Wolverine said "Stop Raping Me?" This is the second time I've seen this alluded to on these page, and it's driving me nuts.
"Screw THE WALKING DEAD! This one had zombies in it! " by rev_skarekroe	Mar 3rd, 2006 09:43:01 AM
Amen, brother.
"Screw THE WALKING DEAD! This one had zombies in it! " by rev_skarekroe	Mar 3rd, 2006 09:46:42 AM
Amen, brother.
Stop raping me! by Dodgy	Mar 3rd, 2006 09:51:45 AM
This was said in the pulse, when I think Jessica goes looking for Wolvie in conjunction with Luke Cage's disappearance. He's drunk in a toilet and the raping me line is an allusion to the mind screwing he's had with all the different dodgy organisations.
I AM TEH WINNAR - THANKS AB! by Squashua	Mar 3rd, 2006 10:22:45 AM
Middle!
You guys sure are awesome with that MS Paint by LordMadhammer	Mar 3rd, 2006 10:25:36 AM

Nice by Kree42	Mar 3rd, 2006 11:18:46 AM
I may have to withdraw my comment about the reviewers being Marvel Zombies ,DC may shit the bed with IC and OYL ,but at least they are rehashing good ideas I mean Wolverine can only appear in so much.Good call on everything guys.
Aww great... by AstroThunder	Mar 3rd, 2006 12:23:04 PM
That's more books I gotta pick up from da 'kaze. Thanks fellas. I'm going to have to apply for a loan or sell my some marrow and plasma.
OK, the two comics I read got awards, so I'm happy by ETI	Mar 3rd, 2006 12:24:41 PM
They are Godland and The Escapist.
super primo by dino_hardbody	Mar 3rd, 2006 12:35:42 PM
common, IC #4 fucking rocked best single moment this year! SQUISH! There goes the cheeta chick! RIIPPP!! Ouch, thats gotta hurt! Man. That was absolutly nuts. Kinda sucks that his return blow so hard 1 issue later. Shitty fucking cliffhanger. Stupid armor.
Great job @$$holes!! by Shigeru	Mar 3rd, 2006 12:44:13 PM
Good stuff guys. Indeed it's been a great year for this column and the talkbacks. This cog salutes you.
ZOMG! by Gus Nukem	Mar 3rd, 2006 12:58:42 PM
I was mentioned - under "I'm lasties". Honourable mention to blackthought for his effort, not quite achieving what he (often) proclaimed.
some of my @$$ies... by Shigeru	Mar 3rd, 2006 12:59:03 PM
Best Miniseries/One-Shot/Special: Owly- Flying Lessons or Seven Soldiers Zatanna. Best Artist/Art Team: Adrian Alphona. (Runaways- Can you believe that book is his FIRST comics work?) Best Writer: Grant Morrison EASY. Best Publisher: DC kicked ass across the board. Best Ongoing Comic Book Series: 2005 was a great year for Daredevil, I must admit...
OMAC/Umar by RenoNevada2000	Mar 3rd, 2006 12:59:55 PM
Dear gawd that had me laughing for a solid two minutes. Bravo, you sick bastards.
best Ennis comic book evar: 303 by Gus Nukem	Mar 3rd, 2006 01:01:41 PM
With Jacen Burrows (top-notch artwork), from Avatar press. A comic book that NOBODY read. Except I.
You guys are awesome! by superninja	Mar 3rd, 2006 01:27:02 PM
Thanks for the @$$ies. Well worth the wait! Good picks, too.
As for one of my picks for this year by superninja	Mar 3rd, 2006 01:30:52 PM
I really dug the art and story in David: The Shepherd's Song. To me it is on par with Polly and the Pirates, which is also a great all-ages read.
IC run-up question by RealDoubleJ	Mar 3rd, 2006 01:41:57 PM
My bro got his grubby hands on the Identity Crisis graphic novel and swears up & down that it's one of the greatest stories ever made (his words, not mine). Now, my bro doesn't keep up with current affairs much, does anyone know if the Prelude to Infinite Crisis trade is actually worth it ordo you think it's possible for someone to walk in & read IC without the year-long storylines coming out of Identity?
Best Batman line by kuryakin	Mar 3rd, 2006 01:57:40 PM
"Clark I will smack the grease out of your hair" from the last issue Plasticman. Closely followed by Clark's exclamation of "Ain't that your baby mama?" when Talia showed up. What a great series
some great comics I read in 2005 and other stuff by Gus Nukem	Mar 3rd, 2006 01:59:47 PM
All-Star Superman #1 (a perfect comic book), We3 (was #3 released in 2005 ?), any Stray Bullets issue, most of the 7 Soldiers series (the Manhattan Guardian and Mister Miracle, especially), the aforementioned 303 (if you've ever read a story by Ennis that you remotely liked, you have to read this), Smax (I don't know when it was released, but I read it last year), Lapham's Punisher vs. DD, most issues of his Batman Tec' storyline, All-Star Batman (here comes the hate), any issue of Punisher MAX (by Ennis & the incredible team of Leandro Fernandez and Scott Koblish), Plastic Man (the concluding storyline rocked), Nighthawk by Way and Dillon ROCKED (hooray for Dillon's Batman), Optic Nerve #8 (the single O.N. story I've ever read, but I will be ordering the upcoming issues), the Superman in the '50s collection, Marvel Zombies (great fun), Paul Pope's issue of Solo (the other issues seem to me a bit boring, Matt Wagner's Batman and the Monster Men. *** Most blasphemous (IMO) award of this column: Johns being a second close to Morrison. WTH! (h = heck) Compare the music (a term I stole from Ellis) of All-Star Superman with Mongul II's squishing his sister's head under a portrait of them us children with their father (Mongul I), or Superboy's antics (you know, kicking Krypto, PUNCHING PEOPLE'S HEADS CLEAN OFF). * My hopes about comics for 2006 and beyond: the usual creators; Moore, Morrison, Quitely, Lapham (I am waiting for his new SF series, new SB and anything else), Miller (Holy Terror Batman - eff' yeah), Ennis (a new ongoing series from Avatar coming this summer: Wormwood), Dillon, Pope, All-Star Superman, the Black Dossier, Morrison and Kubert's Batman, Wildcats, Authority, Midnighter, people and projects I can't currently recall, or have forgotten about and everyone I don't know and will discover later on (to the unknown god, as people from my city were wise to inscribe on a stone). * Favourite comics blogs from last year (from which I have ripped off several images, links, jokes and other stuff): Dave's Long Box, Beaucoup Kevin, the Absorbascon, Brill Building. * Best superhero blog of 2005: The Velvet Marauder * Best online comic strip: the Perry Bible Fellowship ( http://cheston.com/pbf/archive .html ) *** These are my opinions on comics. I see no reason why anyone should care for or be offended by them. Excelsior.
A good year by Fantomex	Mar 3rd, 2006 02:05:17 PM
I suppose this is the 2005 awards (IN MARCH). First thing I noticed is that it hasn't been a great year for minis. Would it be cheating for me to pick a 7 soldiers? Doesn't matter which one, they're all good. Also, you can go ahead and switch around those Batman quote awards. "I'm the goddamn Batman" is the single best line in comics IN YEARS. Absolutely hilarious. I didn't even remember the other quote until you brought it up. Best artist? I'm so boring, I'm sticking with John Cassaday. What can I say, no one holds a candle. Where are the awards for best covers? I guess Catwoman #50 was this year, so I'll go with something from Fables. BEST WRITER: a tought category. Its a toss up between Vaughn and (for the first time ever) Grant Morrison. Runaways and Y are awesome, no doubt, but Ex Machina still faulters. This year I have to give it to Morrison for 7 Soldiers. Not just because its so good, but because I really don't think its like anything Morrison has every done before. His All Star Superman is just icing on the cake. Best new series is X-Factor (too easy). WORST SINGLE MOMENT EVER: Dr. Leslie Thompkins a murderer? Why hasn't this been retconned yet? WORST NEW WARREN ELLIS COMIC: hmm, tough category this year. Although I guess New Wave (or whatever) doesn't qualify, so I'm going to give this to Fell, a silly vanity project with a constraining format that only works when you really don't have a decent plot in the first place.
Kinda surprised that there was by superninja	Mar 3rd, 2006 02:12:57 PM
not a word about Jason Todd's ressurection. I take it everyone will just go about their business when they replace Dick Grayson with him? Hehheh...
Plastic Man's conclusion and my Joker and DKR casting by Gus Nukem	Mar 3rd, 2006 02:31:55 PM
The conclusion was hilarious and a very cool reaction to the IC shebang, while the book was cancelled. ***** [yeah, that'll happen]If I had to cast the Joker (regular, DKR, or otherwise), I'd choose Crispin Glover. He IS the Joker, albeit benevolent, suave, non scarred and non homicidal. ***** As for DKR, I believe I have the perfect lead: Daniel Day-Lewis. Watch any film of his, read his biography (the part of how he prepared for various roles is incredible) and you 'll know I am right. I wonder how he'll prepare for this part. By all means, Miller should co-direct it and it should be done with the fidelity of the Rodriguez/Miller Sin City. For co-director, I'd choose either Tarantino, Rodriguez, Cronenberg, Lynch or Aronofsky. If Day-Lewis doesn't do it, a distant second choice would be either Hopkins or Eastwood.[/yeah, that'll happen]
Best Use of a Single-Hand Decapitation by Squashua	Mar 3rd, 2006 03:13:13 PM
I was going to say Infinite Crisis 4 with Pantha, but I'm going to go with the more unexpected Green Lantern #8 suprise attack by Mongul II against the now headless Mongal. Snap!
Re: Single-Hand Decapitation by dino_hardbody	Mar 3rd, 2006 03:27:05 PM
No, you had it right first time man. Superboy smashing Pantera totally came out of right field. Wowzers. Man, I love that scene. I'm gonna go home now and read that again. GL aint bad but it really hasn't been a very thrilling series so far. GL + GA team up was fun and a decent IC tie in but not unexpected. And what single handed decapitation happen in there? Don't quite remember.
Not a single mention in any of that worthless blather.. by The Flashlight	Mar 3rd, 2006 03:29:05 PM
...of 100 Bullets? 100 Bullets, the finest ongoing comic series of the past 20 years. Not only should Azzarello have gotten a mention for best writer, but 100 Bullets should have been the pick for best ongoing series from every single one of you losers. I could care less about fucking hostess fruit pies or the Spider-mobile. NEWSFLASH! Generally speaking, comics in the 80's SUCKED!

Reserections + Alex Luthor by dino_hardbody	Mar 3rd, 2006 03:35:57 PM
fuck the reserections. Theres a damn good reason they didn't make the list: They sucked bull balls. Some things are better dead, kinda like Hitler but less, ya know, evil. But only a little less evil. Also: is it just me or does Alex Luthor of IC fame seem just a little bit like a demented comic book writer? or possibly an editor.
Ennis's GHOST RIDER #1 was one of my favorites in 2005. by Mr. Anderson	Mar 3rd, 2006 03:39:26 PM
And Ennis's GHOST RIDER #6 will almost certainly be one my most-hated books of 2006. Watching that miniseries go from GREAT to MEDIOCRE to COMPLETELY FUCKING AWFUL was downright tragic.
come on, Fell is great by Gus Nukem	Mar 3rd, 2006 03:39:46 PM
both in concept and in execution. The best new Ellis project where he doesn't go all "ROFL, you enjoy superhero comics, how old are you, like 12?, go on buy my titles which I can write in my sleep after drinking myself unconscious" on his readers. Wolfskin seems promising. **** Testament and the Exterminators were books I enjoyed, but neglected to mention. A few issues of Y the Last Man, as well. Obviously, the [yeah, that'll happen] thingie should begin where I talk about Day-Lewis and not about Glover (the later being a very feasible possibility).
oops, *latter by Gus Nukem	Mar 3rd, 2006 03:44:21 PM

I sold my plasma for comic book money... by SleazyG.	Mar 3rd, 2006 03:56:44 PM
...back in college. Seriously.
Plastic Man will be missed. by SleazyG.	Mar 3rd, 2006 04:04:58 PM
It was funny, it looked fantastic, and it had a completely distinct, unique style. It's a shame a book like this couldn't survive despite winning Eisners for Kyle Baker. It'll definitely be missed.
We save the @$$ies for the same time as the Oscars. by SleazyG.	Mar 3rd, 2006 04:06:46 PM
What, we're gonna time it with the Golden Globes? Not a chance. Plus the column originated in the April/May area, so this is closer to our actual anniversary, too.
Sorry to blaspheme, Gus. by SleazyG.	Mar 3rd, 2006 04:08:57 PM
You're hardly the first to say so, either. On the other hand, we both dig a lot of the same stuff. Like I said, Johns may have had some missteps, but no one has ever done anything on the scale of what he's accomplishing. It's a Herculean task, and I think he's done a helluva job spearheading this thing.
100 Bullets had an awful year by Fantomex	Mar 3rd, 2006 04:16:16 PM
The writing is strained and the plot doesn't make the least bit of sense. I hope this book comes together but it seems to get worse every month.
Selling Plasma for Comics and Decapitations by Squashua	Mar 3rd, 2006 04:49:52 PM
We all might have to - I think that Infinite Crisis and Annihilation/Illuminati/Civil War are DC and Marvel's "Last Hurrahs" before the big "price jack" that's coming. $4.00 for 20 pages. Dammit. Bought "War of the Worlds the Second Coming" this week; felt ripped off somehow - it was like there were not enough pages, or maybe I read about 12 too many of them when they gave them out for free online!!! And dino - re-read my message nad you'll see the decapitation. Mongal!
Marvel Zombies had zombies in it... by Zardoz	Mar 3rd, 2006 05:29:55 PM
and they were Zombie superheroes and they ate lots of things. And it was funny and good, too!
by nofate	Mar 3rd, 2006 05:50:18 PM
Big fuckin' surprise! DC gets most of the "awards" and Marvel is not even mentioned as favorite publisher BY ANYONE. Check out the top 25 comics, for that matter the top 50, every month for 2005. What DC comics are there? Only those that were leading up to or directly involved with Infinite Crisis. Once the series is over and their "52" experiment falls flat on its face, is back to business as usual. MARVEL OWNS YOUR ASS!!!
what sells definately doesn't equate to what... by blackthought	Mar 3rd, 2006 05:55:06 PM
is supposed to be qaulity...i think the a$$holes usually tend to go with the qaulity of the work that is published and not some marvel zombie this and that so marvel has to be BEST! if you want marvel zombies go to IGN where far more marvel books are reviewed and recommended...sleazy, i'm with you on Johns, for all the weight he's put on his shoulders, he's doing a more than adequate job in delivering. i'm excited by "52", "OYL" and the new creative teams for batman. glad to see goon get some love too and gotham central will most definately be missed...at least we still got fables.
Brilliant job @$$es. Really well done. by The Heathen	Mar 3rd, 2006 06:08:20 PM
I'll chime in more later. I have to mourn the Cog mascot, Remmigans. : (
Marvel is terrible. New business plan for by superninja	Mar 3rd, 2006 06:10:40 PM
2006: let Dan Slott write everything and relegate Bendis to the Ultimate line, where he can write every character like The Bendis there.
How can someone not like Johns? by superninja	Mar 3rd, 2006 06:14:36 PM
JSA is one terrific book. He can juggle all of the elements that make a perfect classic superhero story. I really loved his Hawkman work.
count me in your corner superninja by blackthought	Mar 3rd, 2006 06:22:18 PM

@$$ie Civil War? Who wants to sign up for decapitation duty?
Thanks, @$$holes! by sideshowbob	Mar 3rd, 2006 07:50:26 PM
It's that time of year, to thank you guys for doing your often-thankless job here. I look forward to your column every Wednesday. Or Thursday. Or sometimes Friday.
blackthought... by nofate	Mar 3rd, 2006 09:18:24 PM
"so by that rationale, if a pig had personality he'd stop being a filthy animal". Come on now! Look at the numbers. Marvel's top books were the same before and after DC decided the only way to crack the top spots was by event storytelling. I'll admit House of M, and specially the tie-ins, did no live up to the hype but hey, Spielberg directed Hook. 'Nuff said
i have no clue where pigs came from... by blackthought	Mar 3rd, 2006 09:48:28 PM
but what i was saying is that it doesn't matter who are in top when it comes to sales...if you are basing that marvel has great storytelling becuase due to sales volumes then that is retarded and you must of been one of the people that watched madea's family reunion. so the majority of the @$$holes thought DC was the best publisher this year even with their lower sales numbers...so go ahead and play with your pigs. hmmmmmm...bacon...
oh boy! by nofate	Mar 3rd, 2006 10:19:18 PM
Sales are a direct result of fan interest, which originates from continuous interest on the product, not hype. Oh and by the way, that quote is from Pulp Fiction. TOOL!
"That quote is from Pulp Fiction." by SleazyG.	Mar 3rd, 2006 10:32:54 PM
It's also wrong, smart guy. Sales are a result of the gradual infiltration of your mind by the idea that this is something you need to own so badly you're willing to work your ass off to pay for it. You are interested in the product because of the hype--like ice beer, for example, or mid-90's Image comics. Anybody who fails to grasp the core concepts that drive the advertising and marketing industries will be an even greater victim of them than the rest. And that's just referring to the old-school hype machines used by Marvel and DC. It doesn't even begin to address the advances made in viral and memetic marketing, used by companies to enter your mindspace without you even realizing it. Which is the long way around saying "thanks for the cash, sucker!"
"Laugh." by cromulent	Mar 3rd, 2006 10:47:19 PM
ha that cracked me up big time for some odd reason. I can't wait till Stewart hosts the Oscars this Sunday...oh wrong Stewart...
to err is human, Sleazy, by Gus Nukem	Mar 4th, 2006 06:34:29 AM
but selling your plasma for comic books can make amends for that.
Verhoeven would be the perfect DKR co-director, or... by Gus Nukem	Mar 4th, 2006 07:09:35 AM
Miller would have to co-direct, since I don't expect Verhoeven to have ever read a comic book. *** If DKR is never translated to live-action film, maybe an even better adaptation would be in the animation format. Think about: they have to hold no punches, they can easily do whatever visual effects they want, they can hire any voice actor they want (while the live-action part of Bats would be notoriously difficult to successfully cast), stay mighty true to the style of the original work and make a helluva movie. *** Another (intriguing to me) choice would be a video game adaptation - bear with me here: 1.) Miller being friends with Hideo Kojima ( tinyurl.com/zct3z ) and 2.) the various excellent recent and upcoming video games, excellent in their graphics, style, atmosphere, gameplay, whatever. Examples: MGS4, Okami (PS2), H-L2, Shadow of the Colossus (PS2). If it was to be, as it should IMO, heavier on the cinematic and atmosphere aspects than about gameplay, that would still make it a game that would absolutely rock.
Torch this column, Harry by Drcool975	Mar 4th, 2006 08:49:00 AM
You "reviewers" blow. Haven't bothered to read the regularly scheduled biased tripe that these angry clown reviewers put out every week but whoever this "superhero" cat is, someone needs to get him one of those old Marvel Comics Tryout books so he can get his frustrations out at not being able to break into the medium. DC is all tie-in, buy-in gimmicky crap, harkening back to the Grim 'N Gritty Dark age of comics and you clowns eat it up like sucking on Didio's dick will give you the cure for cancer. What shitty column. Where is the Fourth Rail when you need it?
oy by blackthought	Mar 4th, 2006 09:02:03 AM
did you even read my post? i said i didn't know where the pig stuff came from cuz i was pretty sure we were talking about sales, marvel, dc and quality...i could care less at the attempted qoute (the only person i'd qoute while posting here is BUZZ)..but whatever...still your whole reasoning on what makes something quality is quite weak as was your reason to hate on the many of the assholes picking DC as best publisher. once again...it has nothing to do with interest or sales...that is a stupid way to gauge quality. for example...the number one movie in this country last week was madea's fam. reunion which for all intents and purposes was crap...but since it was number 1 (god, how?) at the box office then under your reasoning it means it is quality blah blah...but once again whatever...you are quite enlightened it seems. gus, it's good to see you back amongst the TB's. i'm kinda liking your idea of a miller/verhoeven(where has paul been hiding lately?) animated DKR...i'm up for more adaptations of comic material all the time...fables...live action or animated? there's just a wealth of ideas there that could look great onscreen.

DrCool! by Dave_F	Mar 4th, 2006 12:02:54 PM
Great to see you! What's it been, since '02 that you piped up whining because I wrote a negative review of BLACK PANTHER? Well, it's good to see you can hold a grudge. I especially love how you come out of the woodwork to hurl bile at our supposed anger...in the awards show column where we're droppin' praise like Wolverine drops ninjas! Like Daredevil drops girlfriends! Like Bendis drops stammers! That's timing, baby, pure timing. Seeya in 2010!
blackthought by Gus Nukem	Mar 4th, 2006 11:36:09 PM
Since a live action Verhoeven/Miller or whoever else I mentioned/Miller is UNLIKELY to happen, I suggested as an alternative an animated film or a video game adaptation (a Kojima/Miller collaboration, perhaps?). I didn't suggest a Verhoeven/Miller animated film because that does not compute, even though not many things make sense these days... oh dear, I am starting to... incoherent... Christ, not with HIS OWN FINGERNAILS!... they shouldn't have left his fingernails in...

"I'm having a party. The guests are you, me . . . by Gus Nukem	Mar 5th, 2006 04:16:30 PM
. . . and Dr. Light." -- This must have been the line of the past decade. From Plastic Man #20 (the final issue). The Id. Crisis intro, including the panel with Mr. Tawky Tawny, the "well endowed" superheroines, the "sad" obituary, all contributed to this issue being "the bomb". Thank you, Mr. Baker.
Well, moviemack, like any TRUE American... by SleazyG.	Mar 5th, 2006 04:45:31 PM
...I have a great deal of sympathy for those born without a sense of humor. I'm also smart enough to know that there are those who hide behind claims of being a "true American" while betraying the very principles our country was founded upon. One of those principles is protecting the rights of the individual from the masses--in this case, protecting your right to not have a sense of humor from the masses who are capable of knowing when somebody's kidding about something.

Heathen's @$$ies part 1 by The Heathen	Mar 6th, 2006 02:35:03 PM
BEST ARTIST(S): JH Williams III, John Cassaday, Geof Darrow, Phil Jimenez, Roy Allan Martinez. MOST UNKOWN KNOWN ARTIST: Heystantheman! BEST WRITER(S): Grant Morrison, Geof Johns, Dan Slott. BEST ONE-SHOT(S): Franklin Richards-Son of a Genius, Spike-Old Times, Star Wars-Purge. BEST MINI-SERIES: Villians United, Serenity. BEST ONGOING SERIES: Solo, All-Star Superman, She-Hulk. BEST COVER ARTIST(S): Ladronn (Hip Flask, OMAC Project), Adam Hughes (Catwoman, Serenity TPB, Star Wars-Purge), Jock (Batman), David Mack (Kabuki). BEST DESIGN LAYOUT: Kabuki, Solo. BEST INDY BOOK that'll probably never finish releasing: Elk's Run. There's a bulk of things I've chosen. I would have included Infinite Creezus, Mouse Guard, Son of M, etc., but I think it's unfair because they aren't complete yet and primarily take place this year, so I'll wait for next year on those. Great column guy's and genuinely funny (John Stewart GL and Schleppy!!!) and an insane amount of info and possible material to go and take a look at. Any more Cog to @$$ies?

Cool! Dr. Cool Is Back! by Buzz Maverik	Mar 7th, 2006 05:13:20 PM
