Mikey is indeed the best character in the book.

I'd go so far as to say that IDW Mikey is the best character in the history of the entire franchise.

No I meant the grumpy bat who appears in that one panel and nowhere else. She's the best.

I still can't quite tell the turtles apart by name. I know Raph is the unpleasant one.

I read the Harley Quinn prequel comic, Harleen. It's the first of DC's new Black Label series I'd read and it was interesting to see the limits they put on their "mature" imprint. Like, characters say gently caress, but it's only printed when it's like, "I hosed up!". When characters use it to mean sex, then it still gets the classic comic book censoring. So the word itself is fine, but the sexual connotation of the word isn't.

I liked how it presented Harley and Ivy's early relationship. Especially since the back of the book said that they're gonna get together in Harleen 2. They don't really have a relationship. They get along, and maybe Ivy saw a little something there but Harleen definitely didn't. That feels realistic, that pre-Joker Harley Quinn wouldn't be in a place in her life where the plant lady would be a potential romantic partner. And it also sets up their future relationship better that Ivy might have been attracted to Harleen but didn't try to vampishly seduce her or anything.

But my main criticism is that for a romance comic about Harley Quinn and the Joker written by the Sunstone guy, it wasn't anywhere near horny enough. But that might be another limit DC set, the comic could only be a little horny. And since it was an explicit romance story, maybe the horniness limit was lower than if it had been an action or horror story.

Saw some recent Dilbert comics posted on another site and good Lord is it some dire stuff, this might just be the most severe drop in quality for a newspaper comic(by a single creator) from its peak I've ever seen

Just read Gamer Dilbert, it's way better

This is a weird comment from a publisher whose best selling series for the past decade has been Berserk.

I don''t think Kentaro Miura was white, plus the article discusses various Dark Horse comics not by straight white men, for example Roye Okupe, Devin Grayson, and Faith Erin Hicks, as well as the very famous editor Karen Berger whose imprint the article is really about and which does not publish Berserk.

Yeah that was literally my point, it hasn't been just straight white men for a long time at Dark Horse.

It's like Marvel heard the complaints about how hard it is for casual fans to know where to start with Marvel comics and decided to just make every volume a starting place.

What about a pie chart that breaks down the amount of Spidey stuff done by the clone, the amount of Spidey stuff done by the original, the amount of Spidey stuff done by the clone while thinking he was the original, and the amount of Spidey stuff done by the original while thinking he was a clone.
Also a brief explanation about Spidey's baby. And Kaine.

Oh yeah, whatever happened to Spider-Mans baby? I vaguely recall it being set up that the Green Goblin or somebody might have stolen the baby and the baby was still alive. Did they ever settle that?

Also, I read Avengers Tech-On and I know it's an alternate universe but it had Spider-Man and Mary-Jane together without comment. Did they fix that in the main books yet, or is his pact with Satan to get divorced still holding?

I honestly love how that resolved in like two issues.

Old comics moved so much faster than modern comics. Back in the day they had to give people a satisfying read every single issue. Now they spend six issues just setting up the next 30 issue crossover.

Dang it, that sounds stupid enough to be interesting, but I'm not going to spend money on it.

Batman gets sucked into the Fortnite world and loses all his memories, and loses his memories again at the end of every match. So he has to Memento himself into figuring out what's going on and how to break out of the cycle.

I also didn't know that Fortnite had such deep lore.

The fact that apparently the Fortnite crossover ties into plans by The Batman Who Laughs is amazing because that means it's canon within DC comics and my biggest disappointment is that they were only willing to go as far as a GI Joe character when what I was really hoping for was an out of nowhere cliffhanger appearance from Thanos with the gauntlet.

Oh yeah it's super canon. It even ties in to the emotional fallout from Catwoman apparently having left Batman at the altar?

It also teased a Superman/Fortnite sequel series which I'd definitely be up for.

I read what I think was the main thing, Metal, and it was alright but it was clearly the culmination of a ton of stuff i was unfamiliar with and the evil Batmans were barely in it. And I've seen that there are even more evil batmans that didn't make an appearance.

There is a reading order for metal then it goes on into Darkseid war then death metal I think. Idk I haven't read a ton of modern dc until recently.

I did read death metal and that was pretty good.

Awhile back I read Voracious, a comic about a guy going back in time to hunt dinosaurs for their meat which he then served in his present day restaurant. It wasn't good, and one of my biggest criticisms was that there was 0 thought given to how different dinosaurs would taste and how you would best prepare the different species. All species were treated completely interchangeably and it was always described as just very good.

I was reminded of that because I saw this tweet

gently caress Voracious. Complete waste of a premise.
