Based on the unimpeachable and non-indictable sources of a Goodreads poster, she was on a "Fusion party" ticket, which was a lot more plausible in 1972.

Edge & Christian posted:The weirdest retcon that is just sort of tossed into some flashback narration in the last issue of Gotham City: Year One is: Slam Bradley was apparently the only white person in Gotham who wasn't racist as all hell in the 1950s... because he's actually a light skinned black man who has passed as white all these years, and he became a cop to discover which cop murdered his non-passing brother! And when he couldn't figure it out he quit the force to become a private investigator. And also just never mentioned his brother or how he's black, like ever, to anyone, until he's dying and he wants to tell Batman about how his grandpa used the Batcave as his fuckpad back in the day. Isn't it Black Label so it's not canon anyways?

It can easily be assumed to be non-canon unless otherwise explicitly indicated given the titles under the label, of which at least a significant majority of which are obviously non-canon.

Alaois posted:i feel like if you're gonna do that kind of thing you shouldn't do it with a character for who it was literally a running joke in their original series that she was constantly half-to-mostly nude because of her clothing being destroyed by her superpower Yeah it's not a good choice at all. It's not even like a Shazam thing. She just like grows into an adult, it's for a short time, then she gets tired. I think they're doing the same thing with Mr. Majestic? I dunno, either way it's a baffling use of Fairchild.

Codependent Poster posted:Yeah it's not a good choice at all. I get the idea that Mr. Majestic is some kid who's just taking up the name. I know in the Wildstorm special, Majestic was still on the Earth of Worldstorm and is an older man but who knows if any of that is canon. Also wasn't Fairchild a 13 year old in the original books, just in an adult body? I can't remember. Gen13 was always a bit sketchy with its characters.

She's functionally She-Hulk. A nerdy college girl on the small side who gets turned into a brick shithouse with double D's. When the New 52 started, she was... in charge of the Teen Titans? Or the Ravagers? Or maybe the organization that was hunting teen heroes? I can't remember. Those books were confusing and terrible.

She popped up in Chris Claremont's Gen13 too after a while, which of course. That one I mostly remember for how painful it was to read Claremont write 'teen' dialogue and also the Japanese character summoned a dragon as her power.

Walla posted:I've decided to get back into comics after over a decade of not paying attention to them and for whatever reason I decided to get into some DC titles despite being a Marvel fan for decades. I'm old. Nice! I recommend Savage Dragon over at Image, it's still going and stars Dragon's son Malcom Dragon these days. Also heartily recommend reading Invincible there too. As somebody who enjoys the highlights of early Image, those are some of the best most cohesive and fun books published in recent years.

That's pretty awesome that Savage Dragon still exists. I'll have to look for it. I've heard good things about Invincible as well.

It can definitely be horny as hell, but it is definitely way less dumb than it was when Larsen made the switch. Absolutely a fantastic slice of life book set in a sometimes inexplicable comic book universe.

Going through my comics and I found d my copies of Ambush Bug: Year None. It is still a good mini, but I'm remembering the entire cluster gently caress behind issue #6 and laughing.

Unpopular opinion most likely, but I do not like Kelley Jones main book Batman art. It was good for the Vampire batman elseworlds, but not for the main book.

I like him as a cover artist too, but outside of those Elseworld stories I find him a bit too stylized to follow properly.

I love Jones art but understand that it is so weird and out there and not for everyone. It is so different and creates a more gothic expressionist vibe for Batman which is so strange to have for a mainstream monthly ongoing book.

I absolutely don't mean to imply he isn't a great artist because he is. I can also understand how people can generally like a monthly book illustrated by him. I just feel like he is best when working on individual pieces or comics tailored to his style. I have similar views on Alex Ross - I can easily read Kingdom Come but I've struggled with his other work.

There's some people disappointed that Jon doesn't get the opportunity to properly get closure with the man who kidnapped and abused him for 6 years of his life which is fair, but real life isn't so pretty like that sometimes and I trust Tom Taylor to handle this properly.

E: still scared to get the card thing out of the box - I have a tendancy to manhandle things. I have broken so many things thinking I was being gentle when apparently I was not.

Funnily enough His stories are more city liberal in tone than conservative. I wonder what happened. 9/11? Edit: looking at the list of writers and Dixon could Crack the top 5 if his output stays good through mo man's land. Edit 2: through June 1995 I would say Alan Grant is thr best batman writer of all time with Denny o'neill very close. Norm breyfogle, Neal adams or Jim Aparo are the best artist. That is harder to choose. Mr Hootington fucked around with this message at 22:51 on Apr 12, 2023 |
