Actually now might be a good time to ask (or bad I guess depending on spoilers) but I recently reread my Gotham Central trades and I finished reading the Dead Robin arc and it seemed like there was either a page missing or some panels because the reveal seemed to come out of nowhere. Did anyone else feel this way, or notice it?

ABC characters will appear in DC books

I thought we knew this with the first arc of the Terrifics.

Promethea is joining the JLoA

I think the first arc of Terrifics deals with the search for Tom Strong.

Wasn't ABC published under Wildstorm? Curious how publishing rights work with that because I thought the whole point of ABC was that it was owned by Moore, and Wildstorm was independent before DC bought them out with Lee.

I want them to put Smax in Red Hood and the Outlaws, feature his wife/twin sister and absolutely no retcons. They can frame it like Janet yelling at Cap for not being down with incest, like they did back in Ultimates 3.

edit: Found it! This but with Jason and Artemis



First he didn't get twitter and Nascar, and now he doesn't get incest. Get with the times, Steve.

This always breaks my brain. Like, does Jeff Loeb think liberals are okay with incest? Is Jeff Loeb pro-incest? Why the gently caress did the editor approve this?

WHY THE gently caress IS INCEST BEING LAUDED AS A MODERN VALUE!?

They have but you can't do the "take all accusations seriously " and do this poo poo.

You just can't.

Recently a bunch of alt-right shitheads tried to bring out accusations of sexual abuser against Schumar that were disproven immediately. Yes accusations should be treated seriously but they should also pass a smell test. That's why I would wait for a more reputable news source to break the story over a source that constantly lies about stuff.

Al Hartley became a born-again Christian in the late 60s, when he was drawing nudie comics for Martin Goodman. He wrote and drew a lot of Archie comics without any overtly Christian themes in the 70s and had a good enough relationship with them that he was permitted to use the characters in some Christian comics he wrote and drew for Spire later in the decade.

From nudie comics to full blown Christian propaganda runs a large spectrum. The fact that he used Archie style characters for both is hilarious.

I like reading books about comics books. I have read about the secret history of marvel, about 10-cent plagues, and the journey of wonderboys and such. Now I have come across Slugfest Inside the epic 50 year battle of between DC and Marvel and I am wondering if it is worth the read. Has anyone else read this one?

I picked up the Flintstone trades from the library and man I got to say that the comics are filled with a lot of heart and biting satire. Really worth the read (plus they make me sad that Prez never got another trade).

Yeah, I'm not one to usually bitch about how comics draw women, but jesus christ, don't do that on a book about 9/11.

You know, there have been tasteful comics told about 9/11 but I am getting a feeling that this one won't be one of them.

Hello, i just read what i think is my first comic book, watchmen. It seemed good to me.

In all honesty there are plenty of great comics out there for people who don't usually read comics and if you ever want any recommendations just ask this forum!

(Elephants will intentionally eat spoiled fruit that has partially converted to alcohol)

Not really true. The amount that it would take for one elephant to get drunk would be a huger amount than is available. Baboons on the other hand get hosed up on rotten marula berries like no-ones business.

But you can tell people about how baboons get drunk and fall out of trees. Hell there are probably YouTube videos of such things to share and laugh at.
