Infinitum posted:The mangaka for Chainsaw Man, Tatsuki Fujimoto, put out a one shot today and you can read it here for free - https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/titles/100188 My dad died a few weeks ago, and I wound up being in charge of a lot of the funeral planning, writing the obituary, reaching out to his family and friends, being an impromptu counselor for my mother and brother, etc.. I had a complicated relationship with my dad, even though we loved each other, I think, and I felt like I could only publicly remember a heavy revised and reframed version of him, and not the somewhat conflicted and messy person he actually was. I remember delivering his eulogy, looking out at the very emotional crowd of people, and wondering "wait, am I telling the truth? Am I actually saying anything honest right now?" So this comic hit me pretty hard, and I'm glad I encountered it when I did. Thanks for posting it.

Batman: Wayne Family Adventures continues to be the best Batman comic. From issue 33 (the actual arc starts in 32): Context: Cass has been brought up as a living weapon, and her body-language reading ability is a great asset in combat. But she can't turn it off, and it gives her information that her friends might want to keep hidden. Cass feels guilty about it and wonders if she can be anything else.

From today's Iron Man #19: For context, Tony has been going through some poo poo lately and is checking himself into rehab after getting addicted to morphine. Space Friends forever!

I remember Tony becoming an alcoholic back in the seventies so it's sad to see him still struggling with addiction.

Having relapses and bad episodes if usually a part of recovery, and pretending that you can just close the book and saunter toward the sunset is not helpful, nor accurate.

Yeah I get the historical significance of Demon in a Bottle but it treats poo poo you deal with for the rest of your life as something Stark admits to having a problem with to being cured of in like an issue. I don't doubt Michelenie and Layton's good intentions but I think addiction being a recurring motif in Iron Man stories is just honest.

I think it was in this thread: there was a story about one of the X-men who's power is to be utterly forgotten, and he helps a young mutant who got stuck in the school's security system. Sound familiar?

I mean realistically drunk Tony is an important moment so it will never die. The fact that that is how addiction works anyway is a happy coincidence

I don't doubt Michelenie and Layton's good intentions but I think addiction being a recurring motif in Iron Man stories is just honest. Writers move on, and they have to leave things with the status quo ante a lot of the time so as not to gently caress up whoever comes next. But it's certainly become a thing in the 616 that Tony is in recovery, even if it's not often raised. If he has a drink and his order is specified, it's nearly always a Shirley Temple.

I can think of at least 2 cases in the last 3 years or so where it's been addressed. Thompson's run even had her lady friends (and Tony) hold basically an intervention

I don't know what it says about the current cultural status of comics that I heard or saw nothing of this on Twitter or any media repercussions, but Superman's son kissing his boyfriend was all over the place. Is it a case of homophobia getting clicks, or people not giving a crap about the help?
