Speaking of romance, I genuinely have no idea what Priest is doing with Jessica Cruz.

I am hoping against hope that Jessica is doing some sort of green-spectrum mind meld with Bruce to address his lingering doubts or something.

I feel like this may be a cultural thing where all the "romance" stories people know of are tragedies written by men two hundred years ago so that's what people associate with what romance is cuz if you actually read those romance novels at the bookstore by and large they don't have sad endings
Yeah. Similarly most (but not all) rom-coms I can think of have happy endings too.

It's gotta be a misdirect. I don't buy for a second that they're genuinely meant to be making out sincerely. "This is going to be complicated" sounds like intentionally ambiguous language.

When you put it that way, it sounds like romance stories from ages ago were written by sad nerds who can't get over being dumped by women they've hit on, so they got back by writing them in a tragedy. :v:

I guess that makes The Iliad the biggest revenge move by someone who got dumped. Well, that or Adam and Eve.

Mallah and the Brain had the greatest romance story of the decade.

I've seen the panels of them confessing their love for each other and it was very sweet. :3:

...But didn't some writer gently caress that up and killed them off for the sake of shocking readers?

Earth-1145 is truly the best!

According to the podcast Bendis has deliberately never read a DC comic in his life and will outright refuse to do so going forward.

His entire first issue is just people saying Superman? Superman. Superman? Super? Man? Man! Super! Superman? over and over and over again and they say it so many loving times all of the goddamn word balloons drown out the art and by the fifteenth page the text is so dense the entire page is black and the cover of the next issue is printed in Vantablack and in that issue Superman is replaced by a black girl detective or something and she marries Kitty Pryde and converts to Yiddish-only Judaism and then Cuke Lage shows up and he gets replaced by a black person or something, I don't know this was hour four of the podcast and I was zoning out.

Wrapping up, he said that this cycle continues with every third issue just being people saying Superman a thousand times until DC literally goes out of business.

Bendis is a no talent hack piece of poo poo who repeats himself and never reads any comics and hates and bullies other writers and editors and shoehorns writing Kitty Pryde and Luke Cage into literally everything he's ever written (including his death threats to fans probably) but let's be fair, he has very rarely worked with Greg Land. He usually takes more talented artists and holds them at gunpoint, forcing them to work on his bullshit scripts instead of something good.
