sucks that they canceled it but the mighty marvel masterworks line was such a great way to collect ASM, I got all 5 volumes hoping they would continue it at least till the end of the Stan Lee era 🥀
I keep getting told on here that I’m supposed to be really mad about these recolors but I just re-read the recolored version last night and it was still really enjoyable.
I was sure I was gonna Absolute Adams Batman vol. 2 coming out soon that restores these but now idk
@CoolDude98645 The extra far is just a bridge too far for me, but it’s probably a penciller to penciller thing for me like I think the difference is starker to me on Romita Jr work for example but even with him I don’t prefer one style to the other, I loved his liquid JMS Spidey era too
@OtisTheOniTV@kawhiiisama@LeanandCuisine No because it lacked superhero spectacle along with the character building and great acting. Aaron Pierre was fantastic.
I think ultimately I will so I’ll have a bit of each style. I have the first part of his Batman work in those old retouched hardcovers and I’ll get the latter part of his run in absolute restored form. Lmao it’s wild they did this to him when he passed away like right away damn
@spideygey@LeanandCuisine Substantial smart writing and superhero spectacle in the same show or movie are not mutually exclusive and it shows a limited grasp of DC universe to act like they are, imo.
Jeremy Latcham and James Gunn go way back. In this 2014 interview from the Guardians of the Galaxy press tour, James Gunn says Jeremy Latcham was one of the people who pitched him Guardians at Marvel, which makes him one of the people who brought him into Marvel in the first place.
James Gunn admits he walked out of that meeting thinking Marvel was about to lose its winning streak. By the next day, he'd sent them his take on the whole movie, and Jeremy Latcham says that's the movie they made, down to the T.
They've had a good working relationship ever since. Now Jeremy Latcham is taking over DC Studios.
I can still see James Gunn working at DC Studios as a creative behind the scenes, writing, producing and directing, just not as a studio head.

@kawhiiisama@LeanandCuisine The steak for me is superhero spectacle. Lanterns provided none; Superman provided plenty.
I also want good writing, great acting, quiet character moments and subtle cerebral stuff too but there really should have been some steak somewhere in that 8 hour Green Lantern show
