Iron Man flopping and Marvel having to sell a lot of their IPs could be a fun recent divergence.

I really enjoyed Rat Queens but then it ended or went on hiatus or whatever after volume 3, and when it came back I forgot to start reading it again. Until now! I just read volume 4. It's not as good.

Roth posted:The Ultraman series is titled 'The Rise of Ultraman' which does give the impression that it could lead into an ongoing. I certainly hope so. Those are two franchises that could easily support multiple ongoings and big crossover events. the yearly Ultraman series and Black Library novels already do a totally satisfactory job telling discrete, finite stories. If the Marvel comics do the same thing then that'll be a waste.

Earlier this year when I was worried about comic shops not surviving, I was just thinking about how they'd get through the lockdowns and deal with reduced demand. It didn't occur to me that they were also going to have less stuff to sell as companies close departments and end product lines to save money.

I am not a business person, but I assume that makes floppies a bit safer. Since some Disney some Disney bean counter isn't looking at the expenses of maintaining a whole print shop for such a niche product.

I'm reading Batman: Dark Nights: Metal and I have a question. If all the evil Batmans come from the dark multiverse, and all the universes of the dark multiverse are created out of the fears of people in the main universe, how is the Aquaman Batman a woman? I guess I can understand Batman coming up with some way to become King of Atlantis, and being afraid of doing that, which would spawn a dark universe where it happened, but that means the plan must've also involved him becoming a woman? If Bruce Wayne turned himself into a woman he could take over Atlantis?

Edge & Christian posted:This is likely more thought than anyone involved put into it, but at some point the Dark Multiverse were mirror images of "Not Dark" Multiverses, and So Earth 11 is a Regular Multiverse planet where literally everyone's gender is flippped so you have Batwoman and Superwoman and Wonder Man in the Justice League. So the evil Batmans predate Metal? Because in the Metal series they say there's an infinite number of dark universes, and they specifically call out Devastator as being what Batman could've done if he went crazy experimenting with the Doomsday Virus. And since the whole thing deals heavily with Batman's own fear of failure, and characters losing faith in him because of or having faith in him despite these secret fears of his. So if they're actually fears of completely different Bruce Waynes from alternate universes, that makes no sense.

Nevermind, towards the end lady Aquaman Batman mentions her dad Martin Wayne. So she really is the evil version of someone else. Which kinda sucks. It weakens the story if they aren't all evil versions of the real Batman

drrockso20 posted:That is a very dumb and bad take No, I'm right. Batman's whole thing is that he spends 30 years trapped in timelines or hallucinations or whatever where he fails, but he's able to overcome it and find hope again. And Nightwing, after seeing all the evil Batmans loses hope in Bruce, which is contrasted with Superman who still believes in him. All of that is strengthened if all the evil Batmans are versions of Batman. If Batman overcomes them, it proves that the him who didn't renounce his moral code is stronger than the hims who did. It makes Nightwin'g's despair way more believable if the evil Batmans who have been kill people are different versions of his Batman. And it makes Superman's faith in his friend more inspiring if he has seen all the different horrible things his friend could've become. But if they aren't, if they're all just evil versions of different people? That doesn't strengthen it at all. This is what would've happened if someone like Bruce (but not Bruce) had failed in a way particular to their situation in their universe. That is way weaker, thematically.

How Wonderful! posted:I'm not going to defend Hansi, the Girl Who Loved the Swastika (or, as later editions helpfully clarified, Hansi, the Girl Who Left the Swastika, or as it was originally published, I Changed Gods) as a masterpiece or anything but it is also definitely not a full-throated love-letter to Adolf Hitler or whatever. Hirschmann was for sure a mainstay of evangelical circles that skewed increasingly conservative (see her not atypical statements about Obama during his presidency) but the manifest content is definitely positioning Christianity as the enemy of Nazism from a bluntly pro-Christian perspective. The cover is meant to be provocative-- to get people to go "whoa" and pick it up, even to prey a bit on public appetites for salacious or gruesome content (a tactic well-known in American evangelism all the way back to Charles Finney and prior). This was de rigueur for Christian publishers, particularly Born Again-adjacent publishers, from the post-war period onwards: see for example Hal Lindsey's 1972 Satan is Alive and Well on Planet Earth. If Footmen Tire You What Will Horses Do? Is one of my favorite movie titles of all time

I read a bit of Ultimate Spider-Man, which I had heard was good, but wasn't. It focused so much on how being a superhero was actually terrible and made Peter's life really depressing. At one point they threw in a fun stand alone story about Wolverine and Peter Parker switching bodies, just to cheer things up. In which Wolverine used being in Peter Parker's body to make out with high school girls without them knowing who he really was. I'm glad they killed that Spider-man.

bobkatt013 posted:So Spider-Man? At least regular Spider-Man is an adult and an established hero with hero connections and friends. Ultimate Spider-Man was a child. So when Nick Fury or whoever shows up and has a job for him, or when he teams up with the X-Men just laugh at the fact that he's just a little kid, it really makes it clear that oh yeah, he should not be doing this. Nobody should be giving him task or humoring him with his incredibly dangerous hobby. The whole thing was very hosed up.
