Nth metal is too heavy for someone that isn't a Thanigarian to use. Axelrod doesn't know what she's doing. Once again it's the Galaxy show.

Hawkgirl #2

By: Jadzia Axelrod, Amancay Nahuelpan
Released: Aug 16, 2023

Hawkgirl’s made a new enemy, but also a new friend. Is Metropolis’s A-Town neighborhood big enough for the both of them? And will Galaxy discover the connection between Hawkgirl’s Nth metal wings and Vulpecula’s plans before it’s too late?

Transgenderism isn't a disease or a mental deficiency though. And while I don't agree that the LBGTQ+ community is ramping up violence, it is a logical response to the constant mistreatment and violence brought upon them. The USA does NOT only recognize two genders. Read a biology text book. Intersex people have existed forever. They are recognized. There are more than 2 genders. There pretty much always has been.

Im a big fan of no kill rules in my superheroes. I think its a strong moral framework that separates them from other vigilantes.

And despite the fact my favorite superhero Rocket is in this issue, and acts as an OPPONENT to that stance, this issue does a fantastic job of displaying why its such a strong stance to have. And Kelly, through more

I hadn't posted anything for almost a year myself really until USM had come out. What are you even talking about? Virtue signaling is bad and that's why the Annoying Orange is still here but calling out Nazis is a bad thing and that's NOT why we're heading towards an authoritarian regime. Okay.

Perfection.

This is one of the best comics I have read.

This should have won the Eisner. Perhaps though, it's too graphic?

I am genuinely blown away by this. This is without question, the best super hero comic book on the shelves today.

I don’t like the constant renumbering of comics back to issue one … so I was already suspicious of Batman #1 even before I bought it, that being said I liked it. The main drawback is that it fails as a first issue - no explanation as to why Gordon is a 60 year old beat cop, or how Vandal Savage is the new police commissioner. Also it’s clear that Alfred is dead and only appearing in Bruce’ more

AMEN! They definitely do not have any respect for us as readers, since the renumbering is nothing more than a sales push. It also diminishes the integrity of the hobby. Like people can point out the absolute groundbreaking debut of Joker and Catwoman’s first appearance in the original Batman issue #1. Or so many other notable stories from specific issue numbers over the years. Like I could mention a classic like Batman #232 and many would know the story I was referring to.

Hex - Sep 21, 2025

They do a new #1 for onboarding reasons. This has been done for decades. You're acting like this is new and somehow confusing. I get it, with age you lose your mental faculties but damn guys. Remember, comics are meant to cater to children. Pushing issue 232 in front of a kid instead of #1 even if the quality is better, a newcomer will gravitate to the #1. It's a marketing tactic as well as a way to delineate Fraction's start from the Zdarsky/Loeb runs. Marvel has done this far more than DC.
