Oh yeah, it was a good idea. I understand why it worked. My issue with it is that it basically became Kirkman's go to move. In fact, if you've read Invincible or Walking Dead, you start to notice patterns with Kirkman's writing, such as having a protagonist with anger issues who has moments where it's unclear whether or not he's mentally stable, who is also insistent on always being the leader and doing things their way.
Never read Outcast or anything else he's done recently, but from the Transformers posts, it doesn't sound like he's changed in the slightest.
Just for curiousity I went and looked up the marvel upcoming comicbook future releases and had a realization: I don't remember the last Marvel comic that I ever read. I know it was years ago but I don't know which one it was.
I know that my last DC book was Batman '89 Echoes.
What was that indie batman and nightwing comic called? it wasn't actually batman or nightwing but it was a pair of stand-ins? Thought someone here was reading it, but I forgot the title

The one that comes to mind is Mark Waid's Insufferable, where Batman and Nightwing are a father and son who are on the outs because Nightwing is an insufferable little shit. Apparently it was based on the Grant Morrison/Mark Millar break up (For anyone not aware, Mark was Grant's protege and they co-wrote a bunch of stories in the 90s until Mark got too big for his boots and decided he didn't need Grant anymore).
I was reading that one on Thrillbent but found the Nightwing character too annoying. Which, I guess is part of the premise, but it doesn't make it any more fun to read.
I don't know if Mark came up with that title or not, but there's something very funny about that given Waid's history of being a completely insufferable and insane toolbag, especially at CrossGen.
Good shit. That Stargirl miniseries is really good. Being a DCuck from the 2000s I love pretty much everything Geoff Johns has done (except his Teen Titans idk what the fuck was going on with that) and I've been a fan of Todd Nauck since PAD's Young Justice. And I loved JSA and yes I have all 3 of the omnis, so if you like any of that shit you will enjoy that Stargirl miniseries.

I picked up both the Stargirl & Adam Strange minis at a flea market for $1 each.
Days like today are why I go.
I don't know a whole lot about Stargirl except Geoff Johns based her on his dead sister and she briefly dated Shazam.
I think their was a live action show too.
This panel was from a two-part story. The first part was in the original Punisher on-going, written by Mike Baron. The second part is in Daredevil, written by Ann Nocenti. Those two writers could not be more dissimilar. The story of the two-parter is that Alfred Coppersmith, a former employee of Zum, is poisoning the company's medicine while they're on store shelves, obviously inspired by similar poisonings in the '80s, leading to multiple deaths.
Mike Baron's writing style is conservative -- dry, grounded, and subdued. He manages to humanize Coppersmith a bit by giving him a female neighbor that Alf interacts with, and the neighbor clearly likes him. Baron also draws parallels between how empty Coppersmith and Castle's lives are, how they're driven by their mission to the exclusion of all else. As far as the Punisher himself is concerned, Alfred has killed at least five people so far and will keep killing if he isn't stopped, so he deserves a bullet to the head.
Ann Nocenti can't be bothered with any sort of subtlety. The start of her Daredevil issue begins with Punisher wasting a bunch of drug dealers, which by itself is fine but Nocenti gives Frank these really cringey inner monologues that read like a kid trying to sound really cool while talking about war. Given Ann Nocenti's obvious dislike of the government, the military, and guns, I'm fairly certain she wrote the monologues as cringe on purpose.
As for Alfred Coppersmith, Nocenti throws out any nuance that Baron attempted and just gives Coppersmith a sob story. You see, Alfred was fired from Zum because they started using computers and he couldn't learn how to use them. So, if you really think about it, the true fault for the poisonings lies at the feet of the corporation and computers (no, really, this is what the comic tries to argue). Unfortunately, this is still a Marvel story, so Frank doesn't get to throw Alfred Coppersmith off a roof like he wants to.
Instead, Daredevil hauls Coppersmith off to prison. The last page of the story is of Murdock visiting Alfred as his lawyer. Matt gives some spiel about how society needs to take care of the people it lets down and how with good behavior Coppersmith can be out in 10 years. Not a word about the people he killed, the lives he destroyed.

I generally like Nocenti's run on Daredevil because it's weird and intentionally trying not to be Frank Miller-lite, but yeah you can tell she really doesn't care for Punisher.

I was mixed on Ann Nocenti. She had some good concepts and did really good character work but it often felt like she had no idea where she wanted her plots to go, with her run feeling especially aimless once DD left New York for a while, some of the plots feeling like they just putter out. Nocenti also feels like she has a lot she wants to say on a wide variety of political topics but often struggles to combine her commentary with an actual worthwhile narrative; I really didn't need an entire issue dedicated to Daredevil teaming up with a radfem eco-terrorist to liberate an animal farm because eating meat is bad.
Still, after years of mediocrity from Denny O'Neil, Nocenti was definitely an improvement and a breath of fresh air.

Yeah I enjoyed that part, but as was said above the overall run is a bit of a mixed bag in terms of quality. Maybe if it had been shorter, it would have been more beloved, but it is what it is. It's also before JRJR got into that weird style he developed in the late 90s that's always left a bad taste in my mouth unless Klaus Janson was inking it and pushing in some Frank Miller vibes.
In another stunning and brave example of "Marvel what the fuck are you niggers doing", Greg Capullo xitted that now people aren't getting paid for turning in work (and no it wasn't late):
This video from Perch does a good job giving context of the even more blackpilling dirty secret that this is nothing new, and has in fact been going on for decades. Perch feels like he's been shamed/gaslit by both current and former editors at Marvel for even broaching the subject:
I've heard rumblings of things like this before as well, but props on Greg for actually calling it out and not having to chase down fucking checks from lazy and retarded editors who'd rather xeet/post on blusky all day about "Trump bad" instead of actually doing their job. One of their more insidious things Perch touches on is him being told that editors will use this tactic on purpose as a way of saving money because those silly creatives and artists will just forget if you ignore them long enough. Really shameful and scummy shit.
I guess Greg Capullo won't be doing anything for Marvel in the coming future.
