Return of a classic.

[da_reap]

Back in 1986, a terrifyingly fearsome beard with a body attached to it wrote a comic. It was a potent comic, a beautiful comic, one that received positive reams of praise.

Oh, and then it wrote Watchmen. But that's not the topic of today.

( Instead, why not pay a visit to Pictopia? )

It may not get talked about near as much as his other works, but it's been argued that 'In Pictopia' is Moore's finest comic. The original prints have been displayed as a museum piece, and while I prefer the recolored version shown here by José Villarrubia, the story stands on its own either way.

EDIT: To conform to community guidelines as clarified by the mods, this story has been cut down to size. And while it's impermissible to link to the full story, I highly recommend checking the Comments section.

ROM 10-12 Take Two

[aaron_bourque]

All right, so I've blown my photobucket bandwidth for the month, my first attempt at this failed horribly! So let's see if some other free image hoster works, shall we?

Previously, on ROM SPACEKNIGHT!

Stuff happened. Seriously, read the tags. Oh right, bandwidth exceeded.

. . .

Okay! Explorers from Galador stumbled across the shapeshifting Dire Wraiths in the deeps of space, who started a war with them. In order to fight back effectively, the Galadorians proposed a radical cyborgization procedure, and a young man named Rom was the first to volunteer. He and about a thousand others got turned into Spaceknights, super soldier cyborgs with fantastic weaponry. ROM becomes known as the GREATEST OF THE SPACEKNIGHTS after he defeats the summoned beast called DEATHWING. Though the Dire Wraiths were driven off, ROM vows to hunt them down wherever they go. Two centuries later, the trail leads to Earth. Blah blah blah, the Dire Wraiths have infiltrated humanity on multiple levels, yadda yadda yadda, humanity mostly fears ROM because it looks like he vaporizes helpless people when in actuality he banishes them to Limbo, blather blather, only two humans right now know the truth and trust ROM, the massively crushing on him Brandy Clark and her boyfriend (ooh, awkward) Steve Jackson, who in the course of protecting ROM's secrets have been arrested by the local police. Also, ROM's Neutralizer, his main weapon--which he uses to banish Wraiths to Limbo--has been taken by the Wraiths!

. . .

And some other stuff happened, too!

. . .

Stupid bandwidth issues.

( 18 pages out of 56 and 3 covers behind the cut. )

So that's one year of ROM SPACEKNIGHT down. Tune in two weeks from now to see how the comic outlasted the toy! BY BEING GOOD.

Aaron "The Mad Whitaker" Bourque; if this doesn't work, heads will roll.

Superhero Watersports

Now that is some fine family entertainment: the Riddler and the Joker about to kill a trussed-up Robin in a giant cheese press, all in front of a live audience.

At Sea World.
