But Man of Steel was GOOD…

The spikes are a nice touch.

Well, at least someone finally went and said it.

It’s annoying to see this strip every week. It’s like CAD with comic books.

I could go into a John Solomon rant right now (extra internet points if you know who that is), but I can’t here. Let me just say that it’s a terribly written webstrip.

that is good stuff

So avoid it. If you don’t like reading something, do not click on the link that leads you to it.

I enjoyed the gag this time around. Not least of which because I really liked “Birthright” and wish it had been allowed to “count” for more than like 15 minutes. (I’d imagine Mark Waid does, too.)

I really enjoyed this one, especially since I agree with almost every aspect of it.

I don’t really draw on my comics, no matter how tempted I am.

Love it!

Y’know, Brian, you really are an asshole for forcing people who hate this strip to read it week in and week out. Have you no sense of decency, sir?

Eh… either I’m not giving a flying fug about superheroes anymore or the “comedy” on these shorts has decreased.
I’ll try re-reading it again…… *re-reads*

Does that say “Vegetarian Now”? HA! Little details like that made this strip go from amusing to funny.

Haha, this hasn’t even started touching CAD levels yet.

We won’t reach CAD levels until Josh gets Marissa pregnant, followed by Marissa tragically miscarrying, followed by Whitmore posting a huge essay on how Comic Critics is HIS strip and he can completely change the tone whenever he feels like it, followed by Josh creating his own holiday which Whitmore then unironically tells his fans to celebrate and buy T-shirts based on the holiday, and then the spiral of failure climaxing with Whitmore emailing pictures of his genitals to underage girls.

This is closer to PVP, completely unoffensive and only sporadically funny, but capable of actually inspiring laughs about the comic, rather than the pathetic trainwreck of the creator’s life.

CAD?!?! Computer Aided Design??

Control-Alt-Delete

Ha! This was funny!

For this comic to even approach CAD, it would have to start inserting a bunch of inane drama and reuse character poses(not to mention all the other ways CAD sucks). Since I see neither of those in today’s comic, I just can’t justify a You’re Webcomic is Bad and You Should Feel Bad rant.

You da bomb Sean and Brandon!

I’d like to see a strip tracing reactions to the various Superman “ret-cons” from a kid in 1939 when SUPERMAN #1 came out right up to Josh in the present day.

De-facing a classic re-vamp (or re-telling) of The Man of Steel by Byrne is scandelous.

The violator should be drawn and quartered, or at the so very least, taken out behind the barn and put down!

Byrne must be rolling over in his grave, that is, if he was dead.

‘what, does he not come from krypton anymore?’

this is exactly what i think every time they ‘re-do’ his origin….. so pointless!

Great strip guys, as always!

“You crack me up 1998, Jimmy Olsen” LOL

HI-larious.

My personal fave being that he uses the same copy to make the changes to – the crossed out vegetarian bit is gold.

It’s annoying to see this strip every week. It’s like CAD with comic books.

It’s annoying to see some dick complain about how they chose to read something they don’t like every week.

Seriously, if you don’t like it, why the heck do you keep reading it?

can i just say i really like comic critics. its not groundbreaking but its fun, and if you don’t like it don’t bother reading it and spend the 30 seconds of your week on something more productive

Hey guys,

Thanks for the comments.

We got big news. We are going to be going twice a week starting in February. New comics will be published Tuesdays and Fridays.

Now I got to get back to to drawing people complaining about comics. Sean is a harsh taskmaster.

That was frigging hilarious.

I didn’t really get it.

Nicely done, even though I haven’t really paid attention to anything done with/to Superman since that “Sand Creature” crap back when I was, I dunno, 11 & the comic in question cost 15 cents off the spinner racks.
