Part of the problem with the Mangaverse thing specifically is that it all seemed to be done by people who had only the most basic surface-level understanding of what anime even is and the designs often reflected that. Like, how do you make a mangaverse ghost rider without making him Skull Mask Rider or something.

Yeah the 90's extreme Ghost Rider looked more manga than the Mangaverse version did.

I can imagine something like that one scene in the gas station with the old attendant from No Country For Old Men, except Darkseid is just being uncomfortably pleasant instead of terrifyingly unsettling.

For Darkseid uncomfortably pleasant is terrifyingly unsettling. That said I would totally read a 'Darkseid American Road Trip' mini series or single issue.

It's a good book. I read the first few issues. I'd be reading it right now, except that I can't bring myself to pay for individual issues since I subscribed to Marvel Unlimited, so I'll be reading it in six months or so.

I only read that and Hawkeye from Marvel, and I wait for the trades on Hawkeye so I pick up the individual issues either same month or month after on Squirrel Girl.

There are no words for how much I love this comic.

Rat Queens is the best D&D comic since Fell's Five. The fact that it's not 'officially D&D' just makes it even better.

I bet somebody at Marvel realized if they didn't at least squat on the Twitter handles they were using in the book they would quickly get snatched and put to less-than-savory purposes. Good on them for realizing that before they actually shipped whatever issue they started doing twitter in.

Plus its Ryan North writing it and he's pretty fuckin hip to Internet. Wouldn't be surprised if he made all those accounts himself.

Yeah that's been a thing since volume one of USG. So they've had those accounts for at least a year now.

I think you mean which Power Girl had a baby, that art looks like it's from one of the more confusing DC eras regarding PG.

Although to be honest, who would you rather have as your midwife, a magical lesbian from a land where medical care probably stopped around Pliny the Elder, or a modern soldier who actually has delivered children but just happens to be made of radiation inside a special insulating suit?

You like Darkhawk because Darkhawk is rad. Now that Moon Knight has been brought back in recent years and it looks like Cloak and Dagger might have a resurgence due to an upcoming TV show that makes Darkhawk my number one bottom tier character I want to get some love in the comics.

Agreed, Darkhawk is pretty rad. I don't think he could carry a solo book, but he should join one of the however many Avengers teams there are now.
