Black Monday Murders by Hickman. The initial premise is that the stockbrokers who jumped to their death on Black Monday were actually thrown out as human sacrifices to Mammon. Each economic school has its own magical practice, half of the story is the internal power struggles of the Rothschild family and the other half is a detective investigating the fallout from those struggles.

Also Fatale by Brubaker. It's a Cthulhu mythos story that manages to innovate on the universe in a natural and interesting way while also being head and shoulders above most of the genre.

Also Harrow County. It's Chilling Adventures of Sabrina new game+.

I think his most controversial public statement was a twitter thread that was awkwardly vague and non-specific in distancing himself from Comicsgate. To be honest he didn't do a very good job-- he's clear that he doesn't like it but engages in some uncomfortable "well, I'm sure some of them are nice people" business and waffles about naming names. To me it comes off as somewhere between clueless and spineless, rather than outright malicious, but it certainly didn't make him look great. Other than that I think a lot of his comics just have kind of a milquetoast reputation on this forum. Magneto used to be pretty well regarded but the culture here has always approached him with tempered enthusiasm at best as far as I can remember.

Harrow County is nice though. If nothing else Tyler Crook makes it gorgeous.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

I don't think it's particularly useful to immediately try to catapult any politician we like to the presidency. Congress is an important part of the government and the legislative branch is more crucial than the presidency.

Back at the start of the month I gave this thread a silly title as a joke, but inspired by posts in the funny panels thread about and around Blackrock, how about leaning into it?

Which examples of characters being introduced to great fanfare or being pushed heavily (whether new or not) and just falling flat do you think are most egregious? In other words, who are the biggest Poochies / the biggest Roman Reignses (Romans Reigns?) in superhero comic books?

Personally I would go for Deathstroke's Identity Crisis/Infinite Crisis era push as the ultimate badass anti-Batman. Deathstroke is a good character but that just didn't work at all for me. Another would be the version of Dr Psycho from the same era (the one Phil Jimenez refused to draw in Infinite Crisis and swapped him out for his George Pérez design because he didn't like the new one) or Dr Light in all those stories where he seems to do nothing but talk about how much he enjoys rape.

Marvel's big Inhumans push from a few years ago springs to mind, regardless of the quality of the books because I know they weren't bad for the most part I don't think anyone believed that the Inhumans were as interesting/important as Marvel wanted us to think they were.

I know he did it to keep the mystery of "who is the Red Hulk," but turning Gen. Ross into a Hulk and not keeping the mustache is the biggest design misstep in comics.
