Deconstructing Comics

Deconstructing Comics

Whether you’ve got a comic going and you’re trying to promote it, or you haven’t even started yet and need some help getting rolling, we hope you’ll come here for inspiration and tips. And there’s plenty of interest for non-creators, as well!

Show content includes comics creator interviews (of both the famous and the not-yet-famous); reviews of floppy comics, Web comics, and graphic novels (including manga); comics-related topic discussions; and (occasionally) just sitting down with the recorder to talk comics and see what develops.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this video, and also the one about Gilbert’s work. Thanks! I recently fell in love with Love and Rockets and have been looking for videos where people discuss Los Bros and their work. I’m just starting my journey into the world of Love and Rockets and I am having a great time. Looking forward to your other videos. Cheers!

    There's lots of holes in the general knowledge of 2001 in this conversation but then again it's a lot of stuff to keep track of with all the different versions and visions of this story going all the way back to where Clarke and Kubrick had their differences. I had all the 2001 comics in the 10 issue series, but I did not have this adaptation and I an very interested in reading yet another adaptation of this story after so many years! I think most of the differences are just the typical license taken to make this a more interesting comic. It was common to add or change dialogue in order to fit more story into a shorter time frame. But at the same time some of the choices are unexpected, like making Frank and Dave the ones who are worried about the mission objective instead of HAL. And let's face it, all the dudes in Kirby's books kind of looked the same.... some version of The Incredible Hulk.

    The Eternals movie was neither Marvel Comics Eternals and definitely not Kirby's Eternals. But, sitting through a pretentious young independent film director's sophomore film effort who was hired off the one critically lauded Sundance film festival home movie disguised as a real movie but really a two hour torture porn watching Francis McDormand crapping herself violently like the film does itself too on every artistic and commercial level possible. And from this sh*t show art house experimental student film pretending to not look like half of it is an underground snuff film from the Dark Web and just padded the rest of the run time shooting B-Roll footage of homeless intermant camps on the weekend and McDormant either in a public rest stop bathroom toilet or some post apocalyptic glory hole. Either way, she craps herself stupid ar that undisclosed location indiscriminately like a woman possessed ... of a serious flesh eating bacteria that begins to slowly shut down all major internal organs. Yeah! So, this totally edgy social justice advocate appears to hate a lot of world atrocities and apparently a film audience from experiencing any joy at all whatsoever. So, based on this crowd pleasing rousing populist corporate conformist Cinema example, you can see how Kevin Feigi screened this comedy romp of unrelentingly bleak human suffering and immediately went, 'Oh Yeaaah, get this ambassador of documented trauma and possible uncontained multi fatal foreign virus's on the Marvel lot: stat! Please, put this barrel of laughs visionary on The Eternals to insure the maintaining of the usual Marvel Movie magic that creates an unspoken contract with the audience to deliver a fun in-universe, interwoven inner connectivity of all the movies equivalency of say, a lost weekend bender at the local off the grid opium den. Yes. This girl obsessed with making everything from the film stock to the super gods costumes be bathed in a low grade dark light that immediately causes panic attacks, intermittent anxiety episodes, heart palpations and crippling depression. Yes, she'll be the one to bring Kirby's wild vibrant and alive sense of primary big bold spiritually life affirming colors that thematically convays feelings of hope and sub textual symbolism reflecting the character's emotions. This just screams the person to do it! Am I wrong? Hells no. I'm Kevin MF Feigi oh no....'

    The demon holding Guts down claws out his eye as he forces him to watch. The panel is definitely there. The child is Guts's, but the way Griffith defiled Casca the child became a demon.

    Because that was the last thing that eye ever saw that image is "burned in." Guts can't stop seeing that image. It's super dark but also a product of the 90's maybe older Miura would have handled it with a little more finesse, but I think that's a big influence on what the rest of the story became, a truly deep dark look at what makes evil tick and the struggle against it. Hard to explain myself in this format but basically he went so dark he had to make something so good it could kind of justify going that dark, and that part of the story starts now but it's still a hard road, as new characters come into the story you will remember Miura can write women well and give them agency. Casca's fate is a pivotal it didn't just happen and we don't talk about it, It colors the rest of the story but the SA stuff does get toned down. Also it's a "comicbook" written and drawn by a young man aimed at young men Miura was about 30 when he was working on the eclipse, as he grows up so does the story that's how i see it anyway. I could have been just as good with a little less pandering but would it have made enough money to become what is did? Who knows, I love it worts and all R.I.P. Miura thanks for reading my sleepytime Berserk rant.

    The castle Griffith dreams of means much more than what it seems, his ambition knows no equal. Berserk leaves quite a lot for the reader to interpret, even in the moments when the most horrid things happen, the next couple volumes are going to have some of that really heavy stuff in it.

  • @JacyEberlein

    I'm so glad you're covering Berserk. I had heard it was good but it being described as "ultra violent" when I was younger put me off. I finally read it... two months before Miura passed. Devastating. I've read a lot of comics and I don't say this lightly: I think Berserk is the best comic ever written to this point. I don't like to make "best ever" claims, but I think it is warranted here. There are many authors that reach the same heights, but Miura surpasses all of them in story, art, and comic craft. And that opinion began to take shape in volumes eleven and twelve. This story is an Epic (as in, the genre) on a scale and scope I have never seen done in comic form. I'd also like to note that the Band of the Hawk members strike me as emotionally immature due to having to grow up in battle. Reading it that way, it makes more sense why Griffith acts out in the way he does, or Casca and Griffith's feelings toward the end of volume ten. They don't know how to manage these new feelings and relationships. Needless to say, I'm very excited to hear the next episode. You might want to skim re-read from the beginning of the flashback as I find the narrative works best in a continuous form coming into volume twelve.

    One thing I often see people struggle with at first is how Casca goes back and forth in these volumes, but having read Berserk as a whole multiple times, to me Casca just seems more and more like a real person torn between her almost worship of Griffith and her actual love for Guts. Her purpose in life has always been to be by Griffith and by falling for Guts romantically she simply cant have it both ways anymore, rereading the manga seems to do wonders to people understanding more of the nuance though.

    Clarke himself was gay. You didn’t know? As to the movie predating the novel, it wasn’t supposed to happen that way. Kubrick claimed to have some issues with the manuscript, but was busy editing the film and never seemed get around to directly addressing his concerns. Clarke suspected that Kubrick was deliberately delaying publication so audiences wouldn’t assume that the movie was based on the book, and somewhat resented this - how would Kubrick like it if he interfered with the production of the film? - and when the book was finally published several months after 2001’s debut in theaters, not a word had been changed. According to Clarke there were three ways of doing something: “The right way, the wrong way, and Stanley’s way.”

    Artist Bob Kane created Batman, and writer Bill Finger did not. Bill suggested a makeover to the character which worked, but that hardly made him an artist/creator overnight. Actually without Superman, there would have been no Batman, anyway. The company just wanted a followup to Superman, and Kane came up with it inside of one weekend. Yet even since then he's been treated like a villain because he didn't go into business as a one man "credit Bill" promoter, which is nonsense.

    Eli Wallach and Otto Preminger played Mr Freeze campy like the show wanted. George Sanders played more serious, which I liked but didnt fit in with the campy way the seties was done.
