how can we not talk about family
when family's all that we got?
Graphic novels are comic books, too, fyi






A boy who gave everything for her, and a girl who would give anything to have him back. This is the end of the world.





Omar's the kind of big brother we all want to have. This one gets me every single time.


VVVV Sorry, I could have sworn I typed the source, but then I edited in a couple pages and must have deleted it. They're both from issue #3 of Vimanarama, by Grant Morrison and Philip Bond.

Superman's telepathic and has selective super-hearing. Even if you want to say he only hears at the speed of sound, the human voice can't travel more than a few hundred feet without it being distorted beyond all recognition. Which is why the "he hears everyone and is super bummed all the time" is dumb, too.

Sigma-X posted:

The notion of Clark sitting in an office and hearing Ollie shout for him, while literally ignoring the thousands of people screaming in pain and suffering around the world, and then rushing off to Save The Day just bugs the everloving poo poo out of me. He's selectively omnipotent, and they're even mentioning it here, and that bugs the poo poo out of me.

The thing I like about Superman is the earlier panel talking about Superman's hell being unable to save people while they suffer. The thing that the Ollie panels ignore is the fact that he's literally doing this every moment of his life.

That's a really boring and lovely comic, though.
