That cover got me excited to read Mooncakes but then I looked it up and it's not actually about cooking. Why are there no American comics about cooking?

I thought Space Battle Lunchtime had made up sci fi food? Flavor looks interesting though Alaois posted:it's guy goodbody trying to find something to bitch about wrt western comics and their clear inferiority to manga Hey, two GNs and two limited series isn't that much. I think it's reasonable that most of them flew under my radar

Benito Cereno posted:This is the same weird thing that leads to the Goofy-Pluto “problem.” It’s not actually a problem because Goofy’s not actually a dog. Donald isn’t a duck. Mickey isn’t a mouse. They are humans who are caricatured as dogs, ducks, mice. Carl Barks and Don Rosa would 100% back me up on this. Or how do tables work at Redwall? The animals are closer to the same size than they are in real life, but a badger is still like three or four times the height of a shrew. So how does it work when they all sit down at the same table? The answer is don't worry about it

Two issues of the Wonder Woman story arc where she lost her powers and became a kung fu spy were written by Samuel Delany. As far as I can tell, they were the only superhero comics he ever wrote.

Archyduchess posted:Yeah, it's kind of a shame it got derailed, and one of the issues was wrapping up a Denny O'Neil story. His second and last issue is interesting, involving a Diana who's not just powerless but homeless joining a radical womens' group and fighting against exploitative labor practices. There's a marvelous bit in it which remains pretty stinging in the context of WW's publication history, where a corrupt and sexist business-owner tries to co-opt Diana as a faux-feminist figurehead, and you know, she tells him where he can put his proposal. IIRC his projected plan for the whole run would have culminated in WW defending an abortion clinic from bad-guys-- very much in line with the socially conscious wing of DC at the time but also much more, and much more Delany-- I can see a lot of the issues he writes about so movingly in Times Square Red/Times Square Blue incubating in his ideas for WW. It's the only issue in the entire run that feels like it has a clear idea of what the gently caress it's doing. I actually kinda like the kung fu spy Wonder Woman, but it's real bad. Wonder Woman wears mod clothes and has a new love interest every issue, and that was the extent of their ideas. It's mostly modern day crook and spy stuff but every now and then she'll get pulled into a fantasy world and have a barbarian battle. That's the only real fantasy or sci-fi aspect of the run, Wonder Woman visits three or four different barbarian worlds and has barbarian battles there. Also Wonder Woman does yoga, which at the time people thought was magic. It's a plot point that Wonder Woman does yoga therefore she can go several days without eating or drinking. I wish they had let Delaney write it for a while longer but It's kind of amazing they let the series stagger around for as long as they did. And the final issue is a hilariously clean break. They kill her sidekick, put her back on Themyscira, erase her memory of the whole thing, and immediately jump into a new storyline about Wonder Woman's secret black sister, Nubia.

The greatest horror action comic of all time, Dorohedoro, is written and drawn by a lady. It's got tons of great bloody fights, disgusting body horror, and like five will they won't they romances that are super cute and not just aggravating like most will they won't they romances
