Superior #6

[superboyprime]

So, last issue, the boy protagonist found out the space monkey who gave him his powers was actually a demon, and he'd have to sell his soul to hell to keep being Superior.

Three 403 forbidden?

...God damn it, why can't we get THIS Mark Millar more often?

[arilou_skiff]

It's actually one of the reasons I can never quite dismiss Millar. He *can* write good stuff, when he wants to.

He just doesen't, most of the time.

[superfangirl1]

I agree.

[auggie18]

...waiting for the other shoe to drop. This is really adorable and very sweet, so naturally one of these characters is gonna get sodomized/crushed to death/sent to Hell anyway.

[arxh]

Yeah, I always read this with some fear because I know someone is going to get sodomized in in hell sooner or later, probably by the devil monkey.

[proteus_lives]

Oh, yeah. Those pages weren't posted :D

[crabby_lioness]

This is beautiful. So why am I flinching in anticipation of that other shoe?

Demons don't give up that easily.

Mark Millar, at his most thoughtful and inspiring:

"Bootstraps!"

[thatnickguy]

So wait a minute, we're at issue 6 of what seems to be a really good comic...

...and Millar has yet to truly, honestly, 100% screw it up?!

Tell me I'm wrong here, folks!

[icon_uk]

Hey maybe this is the Mark Millar of Superman Adventures, rather than... the OTHER Mark Millar.

[proteus_lives]

Hyde will always burst forth.

It's fate.

[drmcninja]

Oh god I am going to feel so awful when this goes horribly wrong. Damn it Millar, when did I give you permission to tug on my heartstrings?

[proteus_lives]

Be careful.

You know what he's going to do with those heartstrings, right?

"shiver"

[nezchan]

He's going to play the bass riff from "Friday"!

[newnumber6]

Next issue, we realize the girl who inspired him not to make the deal actually did have another relapse and told him not to make the deal so she could track the monkey down and sell HER soul for health and continued success, and he says fine as long as she murders-no-longer-superior.

And that's the ending.

[nezchan]

Not enough sodomy.

[fifthie]

It's Millar, not Ennis.

[nezchan]

Suppose you're right.

How about punching through the heads of innocent bystanders?

[nezchan]

On the other hand, he did bring us Horsecock.

[eyz]

Wouldn't surprise me one bit.
Now, more of this above here, THAT would surprise me...

[cypherfdp]

Always with the devils and shit, huh?

[cypherfdp]

Also, fuck you Mark Millar. I know there's some stupid shit with the kid's best friend being fucked by the devil-monkey or whatever, I won't let you confuse me into thinking this is good.

Attacks and insults against creators aren't acceptable on scans_daily. Criticise the body of their works all you want, but don't attack their person, please.

[bluestar86]

Who the hell wrote this and what did they do with Mark Millar?

[amaniwolf]

Apparently Superior has been optioned for a Movie, so we may see him coming to the big screen at some point. If it remains like this, i wouldn't mind,....but yes...i have that lingering feeling of dread.

[eyz]

But what does Captain Marvel have to say about this??

[blackruzsa]

This is a nice, hopeful portrayal of people overcoming physical conditions as obstacles.

I'm not gonna mention the implications of another shoe.
