At this point I just want to create my own comic universe with expies of the archetypes I like so I can write them like they used to instead of wallowing in the misery that is modern Marvel and DC

Whell, why don't you?
I have no talent 🙁
As 90% of comic writers and 80% novel,writers. You are in good company.
The bigger problem is finding an artist tho!
No. Just dividing it between opposing writers!
wasn't that one of Tom King's first books?
I don't think Tom King was involved with Big Bang Comics.

is any of this readable or is the writing going to be as disappointing as Worlds Funnest?
It's VERY "retro". If you're the kind of Cinemaphile homosexual who needs everything to be Alan Moore style postmodern homosexualry then it's probably not for you.
Shared universes suck colossal dick. Make one good character/story and focus on that.
>posts a gif from an episode that was made all the better because of the shared universe
It wasn't made "better" because of the shared universe, it was made because a team of good writers were given a clusterfrick of a shared universe and asked to adapt it into another medium. They took a lot the stupid shit the DC universe didn't need and left it out. The only thing that makes it work is good writers.

>There are no more stories left to tell with capeshit.
there are plenty. DC and Marvel just not interested in exploring them.
Like here is a really simple idea: Give the classic DC characters to a handful of good writers and great manga/comic artists and let them do a run from start to finish with their life, with a start and an end. Like with batman, have definitive ends for each villain. He either helps them, puts them behind bars, or they die. No getting out of arkham. No infinite wheel spinning. No resetting.
People want that. Its why the two burtan movies are so popular and btas and even the adam west batman. Start, middle, ending, done.
Expy drawthread?
just write a fanfiction, man. Take your favorites and give them a better story. that's what I'm doing.
capes are visual. I like cartooning
NO. DO NOT WRITE FANFICTION. IT IS THE WORST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO FANDOM.
How old are you?
Probably older than you.
Dc should hire Jeff Weigel to draw some Superman issues . He does a pretty good Curt Swan impression
Alan Moore did it and it was mostly great.
Or Kurt Busiek
Yes.
Tom Strong, Promethea, Top Ten, and Greyshirt and Jack B. Quick were great. So was League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, but that was separate.
Kirkman.
Tom Strong was okay as a mini-series, more than that was pointless. The rest of it felt as equally useless.
This often feels like it went on WAAAAY too long, and far well past it useful life.
>style postmodern
Nope, I need shit to be well written and readable. Retro can be entertaining and readable, but not when it tries too hard to be "too precious."
>I need shit to be well written and readable
It seems to me like you have questionable standards as to what that constitutes.
