She had an operation, but a recent arc included that she's still prone to some paralysis/loss of some motor control. She's still Batgirl.

Maybe if we stop mentioning the holy blessed name of Scott loving Lobdell we wouldn't be suffering through this posting right now. Also, no-one gives a flying gently caress about Lobdell. Dude hasn't been relevant since the 90's, and I will ignore any poster who posts here trying to tell me otherwise.

Posting pages written by Lobdell probably should be a bannable offense. Exposing other people to that kind of writing can't be good for mental health.

The original statement was that N52 was am angry, angsty cloud. That page disproves she was angsty and was in fact a pretty happy and well adjusted character. You can also checky any cover and see she was consistently drawn smiling.

And that is ultimately my issue with people here, Lobdell is not a perfect writer and has flaws in his craft that can (and should) be criticized. Bitch and moan over stuff that isn't even what happened on his stories though? That is bullshit.

A single page can’t prove poo poo. That’s horribly reductive way of thinking. You can throw a page or two of forced pathos easily and it’s something Lobdell is known for.

Let's flip the question then, how would you prove that Solstice was an angsty, edgy character in the N52?

You have some weird ideas about people if you genuinely think killing a fictional character will amount to anything more than frustration and anger for a bit from the readers.

I would be pissed but ultimately, whatever they could do won't destroy the comics that already exist nor stop the character from showing anywhere else.

I only have excellent ideas
I don't think I've liked a Lobdell comic since Generation X but I'd earnestly kind of annoyed if Bunker died. DC has way too few gay characters and not enough Latinx characters and even if Bunker isn't exactly setting the world on fire I'd rather have him in limbo for some future writer to pick up than in a grave.

If it's any consolation, joker is now in batman beyond and he has a great big shrine to the crowbar he used to kill jason, he's extremely excited that he gets a shot at a new robin now that Matt is now robin to Terry.

In her latest book she's going under the knife to get the chip they implanted to allow her spine to transmit signals to her legs again either fixed or removed because its shorting out and malfunctioning, giving her seizures/memory loss/issues walking after a fake Grotesque (who was recruited/controlled by the Wyrm badguy from the Nightwing book pre-Batman 55/Nightwing #50 plot that's been completely thrown aside save for the occasional graffiti on the wall in artwork) hit her in the spine with a cattle prod during a fight.

I hope that's representative of an actual issue cause it means either Bruce goes bald or it's Bane. I approve of both.
Also, Frank interiors just popping in to the biggest comic for an issue would be funny. Jordie Bellaire might even make him look good. Probably just an variant cover, though.

Today's Doomsday Clock is nine tenths of a Superman classic. If you're a Clark fan with no love for the series, but a good imagination that could picture a happily resolved final few pages to replace the ones you actually get, you might still wanna check it out.

edit: and Johns' other comic ends with an anime Shazam bunny rabbit, so good week, Geoff.

Morrison is around for GL and then is gone, after what is going to be a short run. Bendis and King are trash though, yeah. King especially, even he also made Mister Miracle. All his stories are about how Superheroes get PSTD or are accidental war criminals, so his wheelhouse has gotten less and less interesting.

I was a little unsure of the new dynamic for Captain Marvel, but I think it's growing on me. I guess this is also gonna be one of their branches in fleshing out the paradigms for the Magic part of the DCU that's usually taken a back seat to everything else.
