Why is the dialogue so painfully inhuman? Its like it was written by an AI, or some kind of stunted emulation of a man who's never known the touch of another human being
Yes people don't seem to realize that this is literally a print of Marvels online webtoon line that came out last year. It was one of the first ones that debuted actually, a smart choice.
There's like a weird, stock "gay" art style that a lot of these LGBT stories from the Big 2 use. It's gay in a different way from yaoi stuff. Something about looking at it just pisses me off.
They are really young though. They're like 21-23 max.
that art style makes then look like 25 years old japanese boys and its weird, the tim drake pride shit had the same art style and they gave tim these weird dick sucking lips, it really feels like fujoshi pandering
Comics should unironically do more fujo pandering if they actually want to take some of the manga audience/have a female audience. That starts with having their men not be constantly fugly. Poor Jason.
I think its what they think gay guys are attracted to. Like generic instagram model twinks and shit with big lips. Jon has these really weird big eyelashes too.
I definitely do tend to like twink-ish, femme dudes the most. Pickier about buff guys. All about the face and personality there. None of this art's really doing it for me though.
That comic isn't meant to appeal to gay men, stupid. Its meant to appeal to much larger and more lucrative audience.
Yeah. The Robin story isn't made for any sort of actual, concrete audience. It's there so comics journalists can pat them on the back. Maybe mainstream media outlets will be like "teehee, they made Robin gay. That's so empowering." And of course the culture war morons will bite on that bait too and make some clickbait youtube videos and stuff. It's just a PR piece one way or the other, like any Pride-specific comics.
I personally want a return to Wertham shitposting. But, that's just me.

I'm honestly surprised they haven't tried to cash in sooner. Batfam has the largest female fandom in comics by a long shot. WFA was specifically made for them and its incredibly successful. Theres a big fujoshi market there thats never been tapped.

Bottom right John looks like he came out of one of those 2000s meme gay porn comics. Some really "itty bitty baby, itty bitty boat" vibes.
It's weird how much more tolerant I'd be of this shit if they just hired a good artist. Like, they already let Ricken do covers for DC. Could they not just let her do interiors?
Haven't they had multiple stories where they've split up? Their whole thing is that they are high school sweethearts that are obsessed with each other.
Nothing more than a typical spat. No stories where they were legit just off doing their own thing.

The Tim story was definitely more in line with fujoshi sensibilities, but man. You'd be hard-pressed to find a fujoshi that could stomach this art.

Their fanbase went absolutely insane when they briefly fought. Separating them takes away from their appeal. Might as well marry them. I would like them to date around though, just cause I think Billy dating like Iceman for an issue would be funny.
I think they're around the 20 - 22 range now. Which to be fair is still pretty young to be married. But in terms of looks, yeah, every gay has to look like a twink now.
>every gay has to look like a twink now
Hulkling has never, and still does not, look like a twink. Wiccans whole thing is being a fem gay twink and hes not nearly twink enough here because western comics refuse to let men be twinks.
Said it before I could say it. Western creatives have issues with male femininity. You just don't see a lot of fem twinks, or any really, in Western media.
I hate that so much. In last years DC pride special they twinkified Midnighter and Apollo
MIDNIGHTER AND APOLLO
I unironically think there is conspiracy to portray every gay in the media as harmless uwu soft boy
They're still drawn as jacked. But, they've definitely been softened up a bit personality wise. Midnighter especially. He hasn't been cool since the Wildstorm days. I hated the solo series he had and I'll unironically recommend the Ennis solo series before I'd recommend that.
I think twink is the wrong word but they've been softened up. I think "softboy" is a better term than twink. Cause even Wiccan isn't really a twink now. They all have these really soft uwu faces.

That's lame. I don't think they necessarily have to sleep around. Iceman's a bit too old for Billy too. At least in my opinion. I know big agegaps are not uncommon in the gay scene, but they really make me uncomfortable.
Yaoi is literally known for its characteristic sharp lines and faces. And large hands. They are a metaphor for dicks since you can't show them in Japanese media.
They are free webcomics that came out ~9 months ago meant to sell marvels new webcomic. Due to this comics popularity (and the fact that its pride month) it got a physical reprint. How is this difficult to comprehend?
1. Wiccan magics himself a vegana and gets Teddy to frick him right in the pussy
2. Teddy shapeshifts a womb
3. Teddy asks his royal scientist for an artificial womb
>there is a reality where i love you, and i remember loving you, and i never had a reason not to love you, but i never really broke up with my other alt-reality bf so im just going to let you be a ghost forever
Pretty brutal ngl
>Hulkling's ideal guy is fat >Oh no he's a chubby chaser.
It's gonna be Butterball. Calling it now.
Fat gay bastard NTR would be too funny. Some real Legend of the Blue Wolves vibes.
The only thing that could turn Teddy into a bottom is a 7 foot tall mountain of a man.
Sometimes, a dude just wants to be held.
I'm 6' foot and sometimes I think it'd be really nice to be with someone bigger than me. I mostly go for just uber femme twinks, but I'd love to have some big, muscular sissy wife (male) or something.
The original run and the stuff associated with it like Children's Crusade and the Runaways crossover are the only actual good runs. Gillen and McKelvie's run was a little too "How do you do fellow kids?" for me combined with McKelvie's stiff, frickdoll art.
I remember reading an interview that says he's primarily a fashion designer, or at least comes from that sorta background. But man. Even his costumes are nothing that spectacular. And even one of my favorite artists (Mamoru Nagano) comes from a fashion background and his art doesn't look so lifeless.
Do all gays cheat on their lovers constantly? Sena Grace's Iceman run was the same shit. I understand how AIDS and Monkeypox spread so quickly in the gay community now.
It happens more than anyone likes to admit. The gay community is full of a lot of mentally unhealthy people. I say this as a gay dude. It's unfortunately a community where a lot of the guys just have so much emotional baggage and they sorta revel in it.
It's weird. It's not hard to get laid. Finding a gay guy that isn't like, a methhead or some weird polyamorous gremlin is just hard.
Bump if you're reading.
>just Royal Magician
Oof
They got married? Neat.
Yeah they got married during Empyre
>zoomer homosexual hair
EVERY TIME
Tim has the same haircut.
I've said this before but these were the wrong gays to invite, Mr. Trujillo.
>letshaveakiki
Eh, I'm not up on slang but this feels outdated already. Am I wrong?
Its an old comic reprint
kiki was already outdated by the time this came out, plus i couldnt ever imagine Billy saying it
what is a dinner party gay? Don't actual gays find this desperate pandering to them offensive?
So did "super Husband" Kyle purposefully throw a nuke at the relationship on purpose to convince them to cheat on each other?
you're so gay bobby
Why is the dialogue so painfully inhuman? Its like it was written by an AI, or some kind of stunted emulation of a man who's never known the touch of another human being
>Goebig
>go big
Really, that’s the best they could come up with.
Goebig kinda cute
>dumps the twink for an even fatter uglier bear
Disgustingly based
I hate that I want to frick this stupidly named one eyed Hulkling Thanos.
Goebig or go home.
The only thing that could turn Teddy into a bottom is a 7 foot tall mountain of a man.

Marvel has fallen to making webtoon tier yaoi. Speaks for itself honestly.
>webtoon
It is a reprint of an Infinity comic.
Yes people don't seem to realize that this is literally a print of Marvels online webtoon line that came out last year. It was one of the first ones that debuted actually, a smart choice.
Sadly webtoon tier yaoi gets better numbers than Marvel books these days.
He flies all over the city like that, flashing everyone his dick and ass?
Frickin' Earth, man. I hate those buttholes.
Earth may as well be the point in the multiverse where every cosmic evil is trying to invade or frick over everything from.
>It's ALWAYS Earth.
Man, don't I know it.
It's not quite For the Man Who Has Everything, but it could be.
>Hecate is sad
Damn that's cold
The art is too rounded and soft.
Agreed, they make wiccan and Hulkling look way too young to be married

frick me i meant 15 years old japanese boys
Tim is still forever 17 so 15 isn't much of a stretch I guess. He is a nerd after all.

I think Jon has it worse.
Jon looks the best by far in this montage though.
Bottom right John looks like he came out of one of those 2000s meme gay porn comics. Some really "itty bitty baby, itty bitty boat" vibes.
It's weird how much more tolerant I'd be of this shit if they just hired a good artist. Like, they already let Ricken do covers for DC. Could they not just let her do interiors?
Just compare how they used to draw gay romance to in the past year or two. They've definitely been getting inspiration from fujos.
Half-assed inspiration. Comes off as some sort of weird middle ground because of an unwillingness to stray too far from the DC house style.
They are really young though. They're like 21-23 max.
More unrealistic than superpowers. They needed a story or two where they were split up
Haven't they had multiple stories where they've split up? Their whole thing is that they are high school sweethearts that are obsessed with each other.
Nothing more than a typical spat. No stories where they were legit just off doing their own thing.

Bullshit. DC refuses to draw a real twink in favor of their 1 type fits all hypermasculine body type.
They're still drawn as jacked. But, they've definitely been softened up a bit personality wise. Midnighter especially. He hasn't been cool since the Wildstorm days. I hated the solo series he had and I'll unironically recommend the Ennis solo series before I'd recommend that.
That type of guy thinks anyone who isn't 100 pounds overweight is a twink.
I'm not sure what you mean. While M&A didn't get their own story, we were given this artwork. They don't appear to be twinks.
I think twink is the wrong word but they've been softened up. I think "softboy" is a better term than twink. Cause even Wiccan isn't really a twink now. They all have these really soft uwu faces.
It legit looks like a Yaoi Doujin
It doesn't at all. It looks like tumblr 2012 era western slash fandom fanart.
Actually yeah you're right. It looks more like a deviantart webcomic.
No it doesn't.
That's lame. I don't think they necessarily have to sleep around. Iceman's a bit too old for Billy too. At least in my opinion. I know big agegaps are not uncommon in the gay scene, but they really make me uncomfortable.

Well, at least she's not evil for no reason just because synergy
does this mean we're getting another SW ongoing with agatha at the forefront?
>consider it a wedding gift
Why, thanks, Maleficent, you're too kind.
>Hulkling's ideal guy is fat
Oh no he's a chubby chaser. Fat Wiccan arc incoming. Nikkocado Wiccocado is the future.
I feel bad for these dudes. Haven't had a good artist since Cheung.
>Haven't had a good artist since Cheung.
I don't agree. They looked great when drawn by Schiti, Frigeri, and Caselli.
>Hulkling's ideal guy is fat
>Oh no he's a chubby chaser.
It's gonna be Butterball. Calling it now.
Oh Agatha's around again now? I'm guessing just for MCU Synergy reasons?
Motherfricker just went and magicked an entire alternate universe into being. That's what happens when kids play videogames.
So... They still exist? They're coming back at some point? This issue wasn't just a meaningless distraction and also Agatha Harkness?
And that's it. If you liked this, support your LCS or whatever.
Ah, there's gonna be more?
I like their new costumes though.
This is why comics fricking suck now.
Gays are based. Frick women
>giving Wiccan a hairy chest
Twinkchads... we lost.
Who the frick buys this kind of comics, did the atomization from the market is that big?
They are free webcomics that came out ~9 months ago meant to sell marvels new webcomic. Due to this comics popularity (and the fact that its pride month) it got a physical reprint. How is this difficult to comprehend?
Hulkling and Wiccan have multiple ways to make a baby
Not now, Kamala.
THEY NEED TO BREED
>There will be a weird official mpreg fetish comic before there's an official sissification/feminization one
Feels bad.
Does Wiccan need to steal another peice of Mephisto to make his gay baby?
Teddy can just lay an egg.
1. Wiccan magics himself a vegana and gets Teddy to frick him right in the pussy
2. Teddy shapeshifts a womb
3. Teddy asks his royal scientist for an artificial womb
Wiccan has his mothers powers, he can just snap them into existence. Will probably cause some drama though I guess.
Eventually the universe will be nothing but chaos magic babies. This is all part of Wanda's plan
RIP Gobig and random npc from Hades
This story is going to continue though, it says so on the last page.
RIP anyways
>there is a reality where i love you, and i remember loving you, and i never had a reason not to love you, but i never really broke up with my other alt-reality bf so im just going to let you be a ghost forever
Pretty brutal ngl
Sucks to be that guy.
Do you think this is gonna lead to an open relationship? Or is it open already? IDK Hulkling and Wiccan seem like the type to have threesomes.
I don't think they're going in that direction, and I don't think it's open already.
I hope not. Open relationships are pure cringe.
Fat gay bastard NTR would be too funny. Some real Legend of the Blue Wolves vibes.

>actually like these characters
>this cover
Please frick, let the comic be better.
Billy, you got to admit this is a little fricked up.
Oh, I didn't know you appeared on Cinemaphile.
Original run Young Avengers were some fun times.
The original run and the stuff associated with it like Children's Crusade and the Runaways crossover are the only actual good runs. Gillen and McKelvie's run was a little too "How do you do fellow kids?" for me combined with McKelvie's stiff, frickdoll art.
At least we had those edits.
The edits where they'd swap out the dialogue with shit from Teahouse still make me laugh when I think about them.
Sadly I can't find that one.
>thought this was my edit
>it's not
>don't feel like turning on my comp
Alas.
Here I also have a pokemon one
Nope. First one was closer.
>McKelvie's stiff, frickdoll art
His characters looked like they belonged in goddamn Archer. It was very distracting.
I remember reading an interview that says he's primarily a fashion designer, or at least comes from that sorta background. But man. Even his costumes are nothing that spectacular. And even one of my favorite artists (Mamoru Nagano) comes from a fashion background and his art doesn't look so lifeless.
