I genuinely don't understand a lot of the hate for this book. Batman has been good since the start of Zdarsky's run on it. As for Catwoman, I've mainly enjoyed Howard's run on it, even if the last chunk of issues weren't my favorite. Speaking of that latter run, I feel as though it's gotten an unnecessary amount of criticism. I feel as though that criticism has now come to this one-shot. It's craz more

Batman / Catwoman: The Gotham War: Battle Lines #1

By: Chip Zdarsky, Mike Hawthorne

THE BAT/CAT WAR STARTS HERE! Crime is down in Gotham City... Could that be a bad thing? A coordinated effort in Gotham has led to a reduction in violent crime, but at what cost? Villains scatter as their lives begin to crumble under a new regime. And as Batman recovers from his epic battle through the Multiverse and the horrors of Knight Terrors, o...

Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville #1

By: Joanne Starer, Natacha Bustos
Released: Sep 6, 2023

Things could not possibly be worse for Fire and Ice, in Beatriz da Costa's professional opinion. Superman sent the former Justice Leaguers packing for Smallville following an extremely public and utterly disastrous mission (that was all Guy Gardner's fault, thank you very much) and in doing so doomed them to a fate worse than death: irrelevance.

This was a super fun issue. It feels like everyone's operating at high capacity here. It feels like the editorial side of things have finally let the reigns go a bit. The rapid pace at which things not only have gotten better qualitatively, but also reversed within the comic itself, leads me to believe that a lot of what we got during the first year of this run was not what Wells wanted to be doin more

I enjoyed this a lot. The writing and art just exude a sense of fun that DC couldn't properly manifest for... let's be nice and just say a decade. That's what I expect from this team. I'm engaged in a way that not many titles can make me. I think maybe the lukewarm response from some is a result of some mismanaged expectations. For me, I completely overlooked that Leonardo Romero was the artist, a more

Marvel teased REALM OF X #1 with a question: “Leaping straight from the astonishing events of this year's Hellfire Gala, the unlikely team of Magik, Mirage, Marrow, Dust and Typhoid Mary find themselves stranded in...Vanaheim?” That question mark is doing a lot of important work there.

Oh this was good! I'd walked away from this comic a while ago, but this issue caught my eye and I decided to give the title another shot, and I'm glad I did. This issue definitely benefits from Gleason's superb art papering over the cracks in Wells's script in places, particularly the scenes with Michele & Felicia (unsurprising, since the romantic subplots have always been Wells's weak spot on thi more

This is a great issue. This issue in particular did something that I feel has been super lacking in modern Spidey, which is maintaining that balance between superheroics and soap opera. Gleason's art is amazing, they gotta use him more often. The run feels like it's picking up, finally breaking free from the Dead Language of it all, and focusing on its narrative strengths.

Was this my favorite issue of the series? No, I wouldn't say so. However, it's one I feel very positively about following how critical readers, myself included to a relatively much lesser degree, have been of the series since around Dark Web.

The real racist is the one who agrees with and believes racist things, even when black people say them. Thomas Sowell, for instance, is a giant critic of affirmative action, which I assume you agree with since you're criticizing the education system. Affirmative action is a good thing for minorities; it recognizes the socioeconomic imbalance between the different races due to a history of segregation, bigotry and violence.

Amazing Psycamorean - Aug 22, 2023

It allows people who otherwise would be stuck in their station to rise beyond it, instead of continuing a cycle of poverty that would otherwise be impossible to escape. The people against affirmative action are racist people, and Thomas Sowell is one of them.

As a kid, I thought Iceman was one of the coolest mutants around. When I got back into comics as a young adult coming into my own sexuality, I empathized with the character when he was forced to come out in way that afforded him no control over his own story even if it didn’t match my own experience.
