My current to read pile is still in the bag from the shop. It’s... big. There might be like two or three months of comics in there. I should probably just kill my subs but I just buy some random indie stuff and Young Animal and I kind feel like supporting with my dollars is worth it in those cases

Though what exactly I’m supporting I’m not totally sure, what with not keeping up on the books. I’m just kind of assuming creators I like won’t do me wrong.

My brother showed me a youtube video of an intro to Rebirth, and it looked interesting. Superdad and kid interactions looked neat.

I haven't read comics in literally 20 years or so, but I needed something to look at on a long flight, so I got the first 20 or so Superman and JL comics on my ipad to check out.

I think I'm missing something here. Is it supposed to be this disjointed? What the hell is going on in Justice League? Luthor is apparently a good guy? Robin is Batman's real life son and a giant dick?

I'm not trying to poo poo all over this, but I am kind of lost and I think I missed an intro comic or something. I wanted to try and get back into my childhood favs, and am having difficulty.

I wanted to see the new Superman try to interact with the JL heroes, and try to "replace" the old Supes stranger in a strange land style. I wanted to see cute moments with Superman and his kid. Things were promising with the county fair the Kents went to, but Instead I get psychic cows and singing giants made of people.

Basically, what books should I be reading?

Teenage Fansub
Jan 28, 2006

It's not a brand new continuity, so Batman's son is from Grant Morrison's Batman run ten years ago (there's an animated Batman and Son movie adaptation if you want a quick catch-up) and Luthor became an anti-hero near the end of the New 52 era a few years ago after helping win the big crisis at the time.

Justice League Rebirth sucked for 33 issues, sorry (I assume. I dropped off after an arc.) It's just now looking to turn around with this month's issue under a new creative team.

If you want some more good Superfamily stuff, there's a miniseries called Lois and Clark which introduced their situation, and a Jon/Damian team-up comic called Super-Sons. They're both good.

The "New Superman" is now "The Old Superman" in that reality was rewritten so that he was always the Superman of this universe. There's a little bit of him trying to fit in and gain everyone's trust but it's all thrown out the window pretty quickly to streamline it.

I just saw it. It was okay. Though, the scene where Talia basically admits to raping Bruce and Bruce admitting it wasn't so bad was really really hosed up, like really really hosed up... actually, no, you're right, don't watch it.

The movie is pretty crap compared to comics and the important details of Damian's history can be conveyed in a few sentences anyway.

The movie was an even worst version of Morrison's story which was a worst version of what happened in Son of the Demon, and I say that as someone who liked Morrison's run.

Yeah. The bat-boning was from back in those good old days you were talking about!

Damian's easily the best character anyone's come up with since you stopped reading comics, so hopefully he grows on you.

You’re not the only one. The story they did it in kind of sucked, but the good news is other than that and a few issues by a terrible fill in writer the Superman comic is the best it’s been in years.

"Do you want to talk to a spider, Peter?"


Last time I met Van Sciver at a con he told us he'd like to do the Legion of Super Pets. I don't know if he was messing with us because we were stoned, but it was a fun conversation. I brought up a Plastic Pet because I know he loves Plastic Man, and we decided a sloth with stretchy arms would be pretty funny.

What I'm trying to say is that I've been waiting like five years for that Super Sons Annual, and loved every second of it.

We have different definitions of consensual apparently. Also Harley Quinn has multiple butt cracks.

So he's tied up, she talks him into it, with the whole "the things I do for my city line" he agrees and they get down to some light bondage sexy time. Cut to Batman walking in on them, Dick out of his restraints and they're making out. I fail to see how this is like the Tarantula scene in the comics.

I haven't seen the film, but assuming Dick didn't consent to being tied up in the first place, do you even know what consent is?

It's sexy comic bullshit that I don't really have a problem with, but don't call that consensual.

edit: you also didn't address Harley's impossible anatomy, which was the worse crime in my opinion.

So if you haven't seen the film how can you even make that statement? No he doesn't consent to being tied up, but his character in the movie DOES get talked into having some sex, not threatened, not coerced, and not drugged, with a bra and panties clad Harley Quinn.

Someone tied to a bed against their will can't consent to sex, how is this even a loving discussion?

edit: He is coerced, in the scene you posted he's explicitly doing it in exchange for information. "You can only get what you want if you gently caress me" is the definition of sexual coercion.
