I was sitting at my desk and randomly remembered the one comic about the girl who could float and everyone fricking hated her, and that other one with the two soldiers who get attacked by an enemy tank

>the girl who could float and everyone fricking hated her
unrelated but why does that seem to be the focus of nearly every female wish fulfilment story?
>girl: i'm special!
>everyone else: FRICK YOU IN PARTICULAR FOR THAT REASON BUT ALSO FOR NO REASON FRICK YOUUUUUUUUUUU!
Also I just realized the editor, Kazu Kibuishi, wrote this comic for scholastic that I read in 2008-- and the final volume came out this year. What the frick.
lmao the best part was that there was a flood and everyone fricking dies, and her mom dies last and she has to watch-- and then the girl finally gets tired and drowns.
I remember reading this as a kid. It was fun. I always imagined Emily sounding like Maka
Yeah a friend of mine had all of these and let me read them. I distinctly remember a scene with a bunch of dimensional doors. Cool stuff.
I actually met him and got one of the volumes autographed years ago. Cool guy. Wonder if it ended well.
>and the final volume came out this year. What the frick.
Man, maybe I need to properly read through these now that I'm realizing how old I'm getting.
Because it's accurate. Look at anything with a girl on social media
>girl: I can do this thing
>everyone: well you're doing it wrong. Or you're lying. Someone else helped you. Or you're a freak. Or you're not that special You're so full of yourself for thinking that's special. No one cares, why are you even talking about it?
When you're dealing with media written by hacks, criticism is always deserved. And if it's something good...... do you know what trolling is? Were you born yesterday?
Yes, I think I actually have one somewhere.
based and correct
>unrelated but why does that seem to be the focus of nearly every female wish fulfilment story?
Because the theme is usually accepting yourself despite the difference and not caring what people think
That describes male power fantasies, too.
please read media beyond 90's Image comics and shit with big muscle guys.
the protagonists weren't special in this story, the message is to never lower yourself to leftists
>You guys remember these?
No. God I fricking hate indieshills so much. If your oh so precious ~ART~ rags were any good, they wouldn't be so obscure, and you would need to be an obnoxious c**t who shoves this trash in everyone's face. Frick off already.
It's okay anon, you will muster the courage to have a nice day one day.
>Nooooooooooo!!! You HAVE to worship muh heckin indierinos!
have a nice day. Indierags are inherently shit. No editor, no oversight, nobody to tell the drooling psycho scribbling their shit on the paper to knock it the frick off. They are ALWAYS, invariably some kind of fricked up manifesto the "author" wants to push. Frick you and frick indierags.
It's okay to admit you're le depressed, anon.
I love these and I love the anthology format.
Grow up.
Corporate wienersucking at it's finest, lmao
Anon was just molested by a hipster at the age of 4. He never recovered.
In fairness getting diddled by a guy who won't fricking stop talking about Zap Comix has to be pretty traumatizing.
Yes, and they were gr8/10.
Yeah, I scanned most of the comics a while ago and storytimed it but it seems all the images in tbharchive are dead. I should restorytime them sometime.
Storytiming volume 2 here
thanks
I remember seeing these in our small country's local book shop but I've never heard anyone talk about this comic series
Guess that means any fan of this anthology a TRUE hipster. I only have the first 2.
Yesh they're neat. Not every comics in them is great but there's enough variety to hold your interest. I've got the first five of them from a used book store and one day I'll pick up the last few.
I wish I wasn't so poor at the time. I remember reading these and another anthology series at borders when I was a kid.
>that comic about the girl who gets buried alive in an immortality box
The tone of these comics varied WILDLY
Yeah, my first girlfriend got me a volume of Flight as a gift back in high school. Relationship didn't last long, but it was a nice present.
I remember these being in just about every bookstore's graphic novel section back in the day. Never bought them though because they were on the pricier side for teen me.
Yes, I remember these.
The random collections of stories were nice, but it probably didn't help them sell very well. There wasn't really much motivation to pick up the next one since there was no ongoing story or even repeat characters. It was just a bunch of random comics, all somehow vaguely related to flying some of the time.
I fricking LOVE science.
Only a few of the story's where actually good
No.
