I wish DC were capable of making a good Static comic.

There should be a poll to objectively determine who the best black comic book character is because that's what polls do.

To have actual content that isn't just drama, I'll make a post about Static. I'm mostly familiar with the animated version, and the only comics I read were Rebirth of Cool (which was good), the New 52 one (which I remember being very not good), and his brief stint as a member of the Teen Titans (which was also bad).

The cartoon is a sort of underrated part of the DCAU I think. Pretty often ignored, which is fair, because I don't think it's as good as some of the other DCAU shows, but I think they did some pretty neat stuff with it.

Stupid title aside, I feel like a serious conversation of this kind of thing in a kid's cartoon is pretty out there when the episode isn't an after school special about racism.

Of course, it also had this, but nothing's perfect.

It made that episode of Batman TAS where some kids have Batman in their basement while they do Home Alone poo poo against the Penguin and his thugs look like Heart of Ice in comparison.

A lot of silver age comics are known almost entirely by their covers at this point. It's rather unfortunate.

Should probably read a bunch of Milestone comics for Black History Month.

Anything essential besides Static?

I’ve figured out that I can request basically any trade I want at my library and get it eventually.

So I’m requesting Batman and Son, volume 1 of Greg Rucka’s Wonder Woman, and the Sandman Omnibus Volume 1.

Roth

I'm also requesting The New Frontier, volume one of Grant Morrison's Animal Man, volume one of Christopher Priest's Black Panther, and Nextwave. :buddy:

I wish I thought to do this before now.

If only the comics industry were big enough that we'd get a bunch of people buying America #1 and getting upset over the content.

I probably wouldn't even recognize him. I have no idea what pretty much any comic creator looks like besides Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Steve Ditko.

There is no way you don't know what Alan Moore looks like, pal.

Oh, that's right. I know Alan Moore, and also Frank Miller. Most everybody else I can't really put a face to their name.

Roth

Because there's pictures of him online?

I suppose it would be more accurate to say that if I saw one of those photos of Steve Ditko I'd recognize it's him.

I think there are some good Funko pops, but they're all characters that are monstrous/can't be done in their standard style

This Big Daddy one looks pretty good, I think



But everything else is just the same thing copied over, with the only differences being clothes and hairs, and they just make everything look so generic.

I don't drink it regularly, I just bought an A&W one on the way to class from a 7-11 since all the soda talk made me thirsty and I wanted to try somethi g I don't get a lot.

I'm 23, but real talk, being around people who would get poo poo faced on a regular basis severely put me off from drinking, and I'm really not interested in it.
