Teenage Fansub posted:The JLs are in basic 2011 N52 mode, not their new status quos. Not just in costume and status quo but in character as well. Hitch's JL are kind of jerks who don't really get along like in the early issues of Johns' JL before he got it together post FE and actually starting writing them as friends. I'm not that keen on Hitch's JLA.

So I guess Martian Manhunter doesn't have an issue in November. A shame that they missed the best possible variant for that book ever.

Apparently the costume's back for Superman #46 and Howard Porter's on art (no clue if he's just filling in.) http://www.comicvine.com/articles/exclusive-cover-and-solicit-reveal-superman-46/1100-153237/ Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 07:02 on Aug 15, 2015 |

If Gotham Academy gets canceled in a world where both Red Hood and Harley Quinn still have comics coming out then there is truly no justice in this world

I've been enjoying Judd Winick's Green Arrow quite a bit! But then Dr. Light came in and everything he says is, "I'm going to rape you in your rape-hole because I'm a rapist who rapes!!!!" and it is very bad.

That's the one where Ollie says something like, "You're a complete sicko, Light," and he immediately replies, "Why? Because I rape?  "

I think it's more that the audience for Gotham Academy is at best a trade paperback and digital audience. Neckbeard collectors who buy variant covers don't read comics about young girls because feminist agenda blah blah blah.

I occasionally find ones that I think to myself look cool that I'd totally love to own but then I realize I might need to put in effort to find them, like ordering it online or reserving one with my LCS and then I just go gently caress it and buy the regular cover/buy a digital copy  .

Judd Winick is one of my favorite GA writers but I've come to dislike how he wrote his villains and that Dr. Light was one of the worst instances.

The spectre killed him when he was had hired a bunch of whores to dress as Teen Titans and he was going to "rape" them. There is also the case of firestorm's girlfriend who was turned to salt and he was found licking her head. Just any time he was used post Identity Crisis was rape rape rape.

I know all these authors probably thought that in some way they were actually bringing awareness to rape by having a Rape Villain finally in the spotlight, but holy loving poo poo is that a terrible way to handle that subject.

I remember really enjoying the Teen Titans comic Geoff Johns wrote immediately after Identity Crisis where Light goes and fights every single hero who's every been in the Titans at once to re-establish the character as a dangerous bad guy, but I'm pretty sure he didn't brag about how much he enjoyed rape while he did it.

I know it's not well regarded these days, but I love that run. That's a seminal comic in my nerd development. And that splash page with Nightwing yelling "Titans TOGETHER!" and every living Titan attacking at once is just wonderful. I also loved how that was the first thing Light did when he learned about the brainfucking. He was basically like "WHAT!?" and hosed off to beat up the Titans.

Seriously who the gently caress wanted a Telos ongoing? The existence of a Telos ongoing might rank higher than "Batman Beyond featuring nothing resembling Batman Beyond" on the list of "why does this exist" titles DC is putting out.

I don't even know why I'm still reading BB. Everything from "killing off Terry and bringing in a character with no attachment to the world of BB" to "replacing the wacky highschool antics and scifi dystopia-lite world with a concentration camp" makes me feel like someone at DC just wanted to troll the poo poo out of everyone who had ever asked for a BB comic.
