His "deconstruction" stories are the exact same thing
your deconstruction of alan moore is inaccurate and are all the exact same thing. i don't care what any pompous IQfygay thinks, alan moore is based and one of the few who helped legitimize comics as a serious art form.
so is this like an epic falseflag or do capeshitters actually believe anyone takes their spandex homos beating each other up as a serious mature medium
Does anyone remember the name of that poem of his that can be read both front-to-back and back-to-front?
Neither V nor From Hell has anything to do with it and both are good stories. The same goes for that nice short story of his about Green Lantern trying to recruit a blind alien for the corps.
>what is V for Vendetta >what is From Hell >what is League of Extraordinary Gentlemen >what is Tom Strong >what is Top 10
NOOO MUH DECONSTRUCTION. Moore is not a one trick pony. You on the other hand are, since that is somehow your only complaint against him
Early Moore >>> Later Moore. Although Neonomicon and Providence are still great.
>Neonomicon and Providence are still great.
definitely not great but they have their moments. the former has some awful dialogues and the latter is a wasted slog for most of it.
>Alan Moore is good at immersing the reader with realism in his stories.
I literally seethed when he got Blake's grave wrong in From Hell. Netley and Gull visit the tombstone only erected after WWII after Bunhill Fields was bombed. Absolute schoolboy error, no idea how it got past him
But the exact position of the grave beside the obelisk is part of the masonic symbolism which is the whole reason for taking Netley to those specific sites, so the ritual is more powerful or some such moronic nonsense
i wanna start Watchmen after i finish my current book, mainly because i heard from a YouTube video that he's a based anarcho-schizoid would-be hermetic wizard
Watchmen and From Hell were incredible, Killing Joke was okay, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was forgettable, his lovecraft stuff was boring and V for Vendetta was shit, what do I read from him now?
>You clearly haven't read any of his novels or short stories
Who has?
i read illuminations recently, it was an extremely dense 500 pages. kind of a slog if you can believe it. but worth reading. if you only read one story i recommend 'Not Even Legend' which is great. there are other fun ones in there. some absolutely unhinged prose all throughout, pic related.
meh

To be fair wasn’t he one of the first if not the first?

He does a good job at capturing subtle essences in adult life, you'll find this out later
>Now what if superheroes had feelings
isn't this most comics

What is A Small Killing, Halo Jones, Voice of the Fire, Illuminations, The Mirror of Love and Jerusalem?
Early Moore >>> Later Moore. Although Neonomicon and Providence are still great.
Early Moore just makes Later Moore more satisfying to see grow as an artist and to appreciate the brilliance of his later work.
One of the greatest contemporary ones, yeah. I love him.
What if you actually had a worthwhile thought?
Comics: God tier
Novels: Shit tier
Read A Small Killing before you dismiss him. I think a lot of people on this board would like it.
Watchmen's overall plot was bad. However, the sub-plots, the details in his comic are excellent.
Alan Moore is good at immersing the reader with realism in his stories.
>Watchmen's overall plot was bad.
how?
>Neonomicon and Providence are still great.
definitely not great but they have their moments. the former has some awful dialogues and the latter is a wasted slog for most of it.

Gull sees anachronisms all the time because magic
But the exact position of the grave beside the obelisk is part of the masonic symbolism which is the whole reason for taking Netley to those specific sites, so the ritual is more powerful or some such moronic nonsense
Killing joke is one of my favourites. You don't know if joker just made up his whole narrative in his head...
i wanna start Watchmen after i finish my current book, mainly because i heard from a YouTube video that he's a based anarcho-schizoid would-be hermetic wizard
You want V for Vendetta for the anarchist angle.
Watchmen is fantastic. I read it when I was 16 so I should probably revisit it. Maybe I will now lol.
that there are posters here who actually know who this Black person is confirms the fact that IQfy is dead
but anon clearly you must know who he is as well
>think
I don't have any thoughts at all
Yes. He's also an old grumpy bastard.
Not by any stretch of the imagination. He is cliched in his creativity.
People think he's good because the bar in the western comics industry is practically below the floor. He never would have made it in literature.
>He never would have made it in literature.
Yet he did. You clearly haven't read any of his novels or short stories that he published.
The only people who care about those are people who were already fans of his comics.
>You clearly haven't read any of his novels or short stories
Who has?
Jerusalem has some interesting ideas at the start but gets worse as it goes along. The 2nd book is interminable
Watchmen and From Hell were incredible, Killing Joke was okay, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was forgettable, his lovecraft stuff was boring and V for Vendetta was shit, what do I read from him now?
Not particularly notable, no. Serviceable commercial writer? We suppose.
How do homies get this old and have a full head of hair. No thinning, no recession, nothing.
