There's a "confession" scene with Black Canary, but she just says "ah, screw this" and walks away three panels in. The rest of the page is six panels looking at the empty room.

Wait she's in the Sanctuary too? Or was that implied that she left. I thought everyone there but Harley and Booster were murdered?

X-O posted:What happened here? There have been pages of hero confessions-to-camera therapy sessions throughout the series, and BC's was going "$%^& this and walking out in the first 3 panels, leaving the last six on an empty seat. She and Ollie also shoot Roy's cap attached to an arrow off a cliff. E: beaten. The confessionals aren't an indication that they were there on the day. Dona Troy and the Trinity had theirs and they're alive. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 21:29 on Jan 2, 2019 |

Well ok, at least that means she survived. So thank goodness for that at least.

Donna Troy's confession was one of the few so far I thought was clever and enjoyable, but it also doesn't make sense if you don't know much about the messy publication history of the character, so, hm.

Were 4 out of 9 issues into Heroes in Crisis it's so exhausting. I hope the new swerve Lois printing Sanctuary to the public goes somewhere interesting but more storylines will just slow down the miserable pace even more. The cheesecake pinup artwork was the worst it ever was in issue 4. Also I guess they've pulled in too many characters and outsiders to pull off a satisfying This was all on the Holodeck ending so not betting on that anymore

Please quit buying the bad comic.Halloween Jack posted:I'm kind of getting back into DC through the DC app, since they were having a sale. I'm a little confused as to why it's so patchy with regard to what issues are and aren't available. DC wants you to buy their 10 year old comics through their streaming service after you sample 1 to 4 issues of a series at a discounted price of $1.99. That is why it is spotty and bad. I've been curiously looking to see what has been added and removed and it never makes sense plus I couldn't even find if anything changed all of December. Yes they are redoing identity crisis with a higher body count so you know it is better. Mr Hootington fucked around with this message at 21:56 on Jan 2, 2019 |

The pencils in Heroes in Crisis were egregiously gross this week. I don't like the writing but I get why they're publishing it-- King has a schtick and enough people seem to like it, just like Mark Russell's schtick-- but what on earth were they thinking letting Clay Mann turn in the pages we have for the script he got. The whole thing is pretty wretched but gosh, the art this issue, it's astonishing. Three issues of competent enough art and suddenly sub-Lady Death exploitation schlock. What on earth happened.

Yeah, Clay Mann is a decent artist, but this is just embarrassing https://twitter.com/thirdrobins/status/1080413555235610624

I love how it's 2018 and all anyone can do with Batgirl is Killing Joke references. I'm lying. I don't love that at all.

In good comics I have picked back up All-Star Squadron and it is just stupid late 70s/early 80s take on 40s DC comics. Liberty Belle rules.

Some of my earliest comic book memories is reading my brother's random issues of All Star Squadron. I had no idea who the characters were or what was going on but I would go through the pages all the same. I always wondered why DC never did anything with the name since. I guess they were way way way too similar to JSA to make anyone care about it.

Years later couple of the legacy characters were folded into John's JSA or Palimitto and Grey's Freedom Fighters.

Heroes in Crisis is about mental trauma and surviving it. Not for heroes, but for readers.

Also Donna's confessional may be the one I hate the most. Hijacking a character as a mouthpiece for you to poo poo on the character is so obnoxious. Thanks, King, you're the first one to point out how Donna's origin is hosed up because asinine writers like you only define her by her origin being messed up. All of that in the sordid package of a lovely understanding of archaeology and history to boot. Like the point of these confessionals is about these characters airing their traumas and Donna's trauma is...not even a thing. It's a loving reference to poo poo that happened two universes/reboots ago. "A confusion between two old storytellers who got mixed up," -- who the gently caress is Donna referencing? I mean, I know King is referencing Haney being confused by Wonder Girl not being a separate character, but what is Donna saying from her point of view as a character? It's fourth wall breaking nonsense without any strong themes or storytelling or character insight attached to it. Just baby's first Donna Troy opinion shoved out of Donna's throat.
