In highschool, the new principal told us we couldn't put "Hey You!" on a poster because it was too... confrontational or something. School admin are weird fucks.

Out - Chapter 127 & 129

tl;dr setup: Guy with the white hair, Meguro, is trying to survive getting murdered by a rival gang. He's already been beaten half to death after winning the fight against his previous opponent, and has passed out from exhaustion while trying to stay hidden

(As always read Right to Left)





Caught in a worst case scenario, he's got no choice but to fight his way out on the verge of collapse.







Verrrrrry cool Bosozuko/Japanese Biker Gang manga.

Out can be read here

The Watchers are bonkers-rear end powerful and hemmed in only by a deeply-codified sense of guilt; I can't remember if it was 90s Quasar or Silver Surfer that illustrated what they're capable of, but they basically make Asgard look like daycare

Quasar had them all killing themselves because they realized that by observing they were inherently interfering, then Quasar talked them out of it and the dead Watchers resurrected themselves. They're basically omnipotent Star Trek aliens with the exception that they don't usually make lesser species fight each other for the fate of their planets.

But, yeah, Uatu can be stone cold sometimes.


[Watcher just stands there asking questions about the alien's plan for a long time so the invader doesn't realize his ship is being destroyed behind him.]


There's actually multiple stories in the Tales of the Watcher series in which Uatu goes, "Yeah... I'm just going to stand here and watch you die."

I've just been reading the Jeff Parker Hulk series, which after Loeb's run of Red Hulk curbstomping everyone starts with him getting his rear end kicked by half the marvel universe, and there's a bit where Red Hulk is about to be sucked into the event horizon of a blakc hole and Uatu shows up to pull that move.

Then a backup story sees him going to see a cosmic gribbly emerge - which can't detect him or the other Watcher, but does detect trace elements of Red Hulk and goes off to Earth to fight him.

Because Red Hulk once punched Uatu in the face, you see.

I'm only like three issues in, and I can't wait to see how Uatu fucks him over next. :allears:

I mean, I've read enough Bendis to be painfully familiar with "let's crack open OHOTMU at random and not read the source material" but Loeb Red Hulk was some lazy-rear end "I wrote something good once, I don't need an editor" bullshit and yeah, I hated it enough to double-post.

I'd call that a reasonable interpretation of not interfering with the destiny of another being, though in the MU your first death isn't necessarily your last, so "destiny" becomes a bit plastic.

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
What was even the point Bruce was supposed to be making?

"We are terrible and the people around us are suffering for it."

"What about the one time we sucked so hard that someone was literally erased from existence then, smart guy?"

New 52 stuff and de-aging of Batman just fucks so much up. It's also insanely disrespectful of Tim Drake how they decided "he now never went by Robin" since he's the only person to headline nearly 200 issues of a comic titled "Robin," before New 52 there was more issues published of "Robin" than "Nightwing"

If Bruce can't predict that the answer to "where is the Flash while he's fighting me" is always "up in my poo poo, infinity punching me", he's not really the World's Greatest Detective, is he?

Hey, it's not like half-assing a line wide reboot resulting in massive internal contradictions and disruption of fan favorite characters has ever bitten DC comics in the rear end before.
