I don't think the blind deserve Daredevil. After all, they can't even see him...

It's made for people who can see anyways. So you can be happy about it.

Btw, how well people here know European Comics?

It's something that can be a bit unknown to the US.

Like...

Lucky Luke:
Image

Asterix:
Image

Spirou and Fantasio

Image

Guess Tintin should be known. (Uh, perhaps not this story...)

Image

Although one of my favorite was Tanguy et Laverdure, a superbly drawn cartoon about two French Mirage pilots. They even bomb Afghanistan and take part in the War or Terror. As being interested about combat aircraft when I was a kid...this rare comic was a treasure.

Image

Although there's nothing wrong with American cartoons.

Best one's are the X-men drawn By John Byrne:
Image

And Donald Duck drawn By Carl Barks:

Good selection ssu.
Some of my favourites.

Blueberry. Hands down one of the best Graphic Novels ever. Before there even was such a thing.
Image

The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec. Dark, disturbing, weird and funny.
Image

Valérian and Laureline. Beautiful, groundbreaking and great stories.
Image

Bernard Prince. Some really ripping yarns.

Ah yes, Blueberry. Wasn't that drawn By Giraud? Here's Giraud drawing a Lucky Luke cartoon:

Spielberg made a Tin Tin movie and this summer there is a world wide Valerian and Laurelin movie coming out.

I think feminists should own Wonder Woman. Every group needs a superhero.

It would just suck if the fat ones get a say in what Wonder Woman looks like because, holy shit, that actress who plays Wonder Woman is super hot.

Also, his rant about superheros with disabilities is fucking retarded. Some of the popular superheroes have disabilities. Daredevil is blind. Professor X is a paraplegic. All superheroes have some major setback they have to overcome, and disability is a good one for character development, and it allows disabled readers to identify with the character in some way.
I don't think current feminists deserve a superhero.

Powerlifting lesbians are my friends. Take that back. Any one of them could snap you like a stick.
