Do you not see the possible implication of cleavage being able to be shown? Disgusting how all the slatterns in my office dress like this...burlesque dancer!...whilst we men gird ourselves in proper suits and ties.

yea it works when he's the least used character on a movie team but when it's a comic where he's a major figure you kinda need him to at least have a weird but functional talking method.

Except, of course, that Groot was pretty loquacious going back to his first pre-FF#1 appearance. He only got stuck in "I am Groot" after getting blown up during one of the Annihilation events.

From Absolute Carnage #1.

Carnage is going after everyone who has ever worn a symbiote, feasting on them in a weird sci-fi way and becoming stronger with each victim. Eddie Brock finds Spider-Man and they assess the situation. During the conversation, Spider-Man asks about Dylan, a boy accompanying Eddie. Dylan thinks that he's Eddie's brother, but Eddie's hiding the truth that he's Dylan's father. Suddenly, Eddie's distracted by the news.

Meltzer excels at character moments. It’s plot that he has the problem with.

EDIT: I was distracted by the ladies face in the third panel on the bottom, so, I didn’t notice that the couple with the baby is actually two men.

Here's the hosed up origin story of Rocket Raccoon from GOTG #8:

Vote shit sandwich or the shit sandwich gets it!
Hanayome Wa Motodanshi (closest translation is "the bride used to be a guy" or "the bride was a boy", which is the title for the official translation) is an autobiographical manga written by a trans woman.

In this sequence she's recounting how she met her husband: they met by chance at a mutual friend's party, and he immediately fell for her and asked her out. She refused because she felt too self-conscious to date anyone so soon after socially transitioning, and in turn he asked her to just hang out, to go around doing stuff but not as a date, and she accepted. Then, after several Not A Dates, she realised she had fallen for him too, but also that officially being in a relationship with him would necessitate telling him she's trans.

And this is where these pages pick off. (Read right to left.)







Hanayome Wa Motodanshi is published in English by Seven Seas Entertainment.

I learned a lot I didn't know about LGBTQ+ social and legal stuff in Japan from reading it. All the stuff about marriage law in particular was super eye-opening-- it's a really great little comic and a very quick read.

I've never been to Japan myself, but I've had more than one friend who has lived there, and their experience was that, for the most part, people were pretty blasé about queer identities. You don't really get that "grr, hate you, wanna beat you up" attitude you see in the west. The flip-side being that people are equally blasé about any discussion pertaining to queer representation and rights (i.e. marriage). A backhandedly polite "they're not oppressed" and/or "there's nothing to talk about" kind of dismissiveness.

I do believe things have improved over the years, as these were anecdotes from 5-6 years ago. And by the title being "The Bride..." I'm gonna guess that things are a lot more accommodating towards trans/queer identities getting married and the like now.

Superman Up In The Sky #4: So Superman's been on a mission to find a little girl that for some reason got kidnapped and taken to the rear end end of the universe. On the way he ran into some cosmic storm that separated Clark Kent and Superman into separate beings. "Superman" sets Clark up on an ice planet with a fire and enough food to last until he gets saved, then says he's going to leave this mission and fucks off. Turns out Superman's kind of an rear end in a top hat!



He then fucks off and leaves the planet, but keeps coming back.

Not as strong as you'd expect.
Kryptonians of the old school are very often kind of assholes. We went through this with the Eradicator(Kryptonian tech eventually getting it's own body, also possessed Superman at one point) way back when. Superman said it very early on: The Earth made him who he is.

It's still worth repeating, as a message.

Logic isn't bad, except when it's heartless.

Ready to Poyozo Dance all over your face.
As much as I like Superman, I don't feel like this particular style of story fits him as a character. I've just never really felt like there was a distinct divide between the Clark Kent and Superman personas the way there is between, for example, Bruce Wayne and Batman, or Bruce Banner and the Hulk. So it just feels weird splitting him up into an ordinary person with no powers but who still has human morality, and a super-powered alien who eschews morality in favor of cold logic.

Same. Like, I get what they're doing. And for what it's worth, it works.

But, in my mind, it clashes with everything about Supes as a person. There's no cold logical duality to him. In his heart of hearts, he's just a farm boy from Kansas. There's no repressed Kryptonian inside just itching to bust out.

Some people watched Superman III uncritically or in their formative years without realising it was a comedy.

Yes. To me, The Kryptonian is Clark's viewpoint of the self he doesn't want to be. And, in the end, it turns out that even that cynical, jaded version of himself is too human to abandon him, or the girl. Clark is his own harshest critic, and even in the cruelest light possible, he's still a hero.
