It did a lot of stuff with Harley Quinn, and showed how good Tom Taylor can be. The problem was that there were certain beats he had to do.

Yeah ultimately the story has to end with "Superman in charge of fascist world" because the game has to happen and that story's already written.

I'm pretty sure that, aside from the aforementioned forced separation, the goggles are just straight up fused to his face, like they're part of him. I mean, I'm sure he could morph himself regular eyes if he wanted to but I guess he just likes his look and I respect that.

Shang-Chi #5: Shang-Chi is trying to turn his dad's old evil organization, the Five Weapons Society, into an actual force for good. But some shady motherfuckers show up trying to sell him a clearly stolen Iron Man suit.







Shang-Chi does not have metal teeth or super strength but he is the Master of Kung Fu™ so I say he's allowed to catch and spit bullets because it's cool

Wonder Woman Black and Gold #3: This is a story set in that strange period where Wonder Woman had no powers and was a spy for some reason. She's captured and being interrogated but all she'll say is that she's Wonder Woman. After nearly a month she's still not breaking and the commander comes in to see what's up.

Action Comics #1041: The current story arc has Superman and the Authority separated on Warworld and is exploring their culture. On Warworld, status is determined by how much iron you have on the chains you wear and is earned (of course) via gladiatorial combat. There's also a group who basically worships Superman as the one who's going to free them one day. Anyway, Midnighter's trying to find and free Apollo (who has been captured and being used as a solar battery) and is working his way around the planet, guerilla-style.

I think the real tragedy of Luthor is that if he cooperated, they would have been the real World's Finest Team, and Luthor's vast talents could have gone into doing all that poo poo people wish Reed Richards would do. Superman would even doubtless be fine with Luthor taking point and having the glory.

To quote Superman, "if it had mattered to you Luthor, you could have saved the world years ago"

If you're referring to the Injustice bit where Alfred takes the super pill and beats up Superman, they're both written by Tom Taylor.

Tom Taylor really specializes in dystopias and people you wouldn't expect kicking the poo poo out of characters way out of their league.

I can't speak for others but Dandadan was hard for me to get into because the first chapter is focused almost exclusively around the teenage female lead getting stripped to her underwear and repeatedly threatened with rape. I have heard it gets better but getting past that initial part was hard for me and I feel like it's worth warning about.

(Sorry not like trying to be a downer about the series, that just caught me off guard when I went to read it and it was an unpleasant experience so trying to make a clear warning.)

Yeah it is a hard rear end sell and I really hope that the anime tries to uh... trim that down to make it less of a "um what i ain't watching this" moment

It's probably not all that new now that I think about. Surely there are instances of telepathic mutants communicating with people at astronomical distances that appears to ignore the limitations that transmission waves would normally adhere to.

Apparently Xavier's daughter's brainwaves travel far enough to be stored in Cerebro and she's in Shi'ar space.

They actually explained this. With the help of Forge, they made a psychic relay between Earth and Mars using clones of Xavier's brain.Wouldn't surprise me at all if they made something similar using the Krakoan gates and Shiar space.

Geez, you'd think they'd learn something after Red Skull was able to use Xavier's brain to give himself powers that one time, but nope just gonna leave spare brains out there. Just like them leaving Wolverine skeletons all over...

There are two possible explanations for this.

One is that the internet counts as an international publication, so he has to deal with the super-crazy American Copyright.

The other is that the C&D is actually completely illegal, but the company was counting on nobody calling them on it.

Both are equally likely.

As I understand it, a lot of C&Ds are just really strong bluffs because hey are you gonna try to go to war with a company that has way more money than you? Better to cut your losses and move on than risk losing a ton of money...
