Isn't it used in The New Frontier? And probably some other period piece comics I'm forgetting about.

I didn't realize how much I wanted a comic with frame-by-frames of Batman beating the living crap out of people until The Batman's Grave came along.

Teenage Fansub posted:I think Tom King is taking credit for movie Joker looking in a mirror and forcing a smile. Seems pretty benign, but I don't know Tom King beyond the Batman runs (some I liked, some I didn't). Given his use of fractions, he seems to have some awareness that there's not much of a direct link.

I generally enjoy his stuff, but I'm grateful we got "clever plotting and gags" Fraction and not "everyone says 'gently caress' until the TV contract ink dries" Fraction. (An unfair take, but that's how I feel, okay)

I am!  Catwoman special coming: https://twitter.com/DCComics/status/1217812503079636992 quote:In a story that expands their monumental run, writer Ed Brubaker and artist Cameron Stewart will reprise their Catwoman collaboration with a new 12-page story, “The Art of Picking a Lock,” that takes place near end of their original dynamic story line that started with iconic storyteller Darwyn Cooke. And no stranger himself to writing dangerous antiheroes, Harley Quinn co-creator Paul Dini debuts a new character for Selina Kyle’s anniversary in a story about an exotic cat taxidermist who intends to add Catwoman to their collection!

Yeah, Sex Criminal was cute, but once you get the joke it is just lifeless/trying too hard. Him not handing in his script did give us Chip Zdarsky having to write books to live.

I tried it and I really liked Sojourner as a character, but basically the whole setting failed to hook me. It feels to me like a story that'll read much better in trade format, so maybe I'll re-try it then.

Oh, it's a future Dr. Fate. That's fine then. Khalid had just re-accepted the Fate helmet in JL Dark and for a second I was afraid Bendis was already gonna bulldoze that.

As someone with what feels like an irrational appreciation for Mister Terrific, I'm also surprised this didn't get canceled along with those other titles or debuted alongside, but I'm glad to be getting Mister Terrific content all the same.

It probably got a stay of execution because it’d be crazy to cancel it now that Terrific will be in Strange Adventures.

Jemison hasn't fallen into the prose-writer-writes-comics trap of over-captioning everything that happens a lot. Far Sector owns bones! I enjoyed the hell out of The Question: The Deaths of Vic Sage #2 but uhh something was up with the politics of which characters died, and how. I'm not sure how to articulate it beyond "this feels wrong/tropey to the point of laziness," but otherwise the production's so good I'm still in for #3. Can't get over how good a fat, square comic with no ads feels.

I love how Bendis' idea of writing the Legion is to be writing a book with as much present day DCU and DCU references as he can possibly fit into it. No, wait, I mean the other thing. God forbid the 31st Century develop a(nother) take on its own.

It's good because they're self-aware that no one cares about the Legion and would rather be reading anything else.

It is a huge shame that Legion is just so extremely flat. You could definitely just shuffle the characters around and get the same effect other than Jon. To be fair, Bendis has never written a team book with clear character voices in his life so I don't know why I expected Legion to be different. Looking forward to him doing tight character focused issues at some point, because this book desperately needs it.
