if you want people to get into the canon comics and lead everyone away from fanon misinterpretation (which is a losing battle because there will ALWAYS be this) then why not be helpful instead of being a dick about it 🤨

the comics are hard to get into because it's hard to know where to start, and there's so much content that people are able to fill themselves in by reading fanfic or watching something on tiktok or seeing posts about it on here. perhaps instead of telling people they're stupid for not realizing your favorite character is being mishandled by others, you could write up a list of your favorite comics and/or how, if you could read them for the first time again, you would order your favorite comics to get the best reading experience. and also write your own fanfiction and draw your own fanart or make a passionate post, answer questions politely

I know nobody cares, but...

Marvel picked MY fucking short story, "Lost Cause," to be the official excerpt for the updated announcement of the Captain America: The Shield of Sam Wilson anthology.

No, really, look.

I'm fucking shocked they picked mine. What a tremendous honor to represent our boy. <3

On the off chance someone cares, info below!

As a Black man in America, Sam Wilson knows he has to be twice as good to get half as much credit. He must be a paragon of virtue for a nation that has mixed feelings towards him. In these thirteen brand-new stories, the all-new Captain America must thwart an insurrectionist plot, travel back in time, foil a racist conspiracy, and save the world over and over again.

As the Falcon, Sam Wilson was the first African American super hero in mainstream comic books. Sam’s trials and tribulations reflect the struggles many Black Americans go through today, as Sam balances fighting supervillains and saving the world with the difficulties of being the first Black Captain America. This action-packed anthology inspired by the Marvel comic book universe, will see Sam team up with familiar friends like Steve Rogers, Redwing and Nomad, while fighting HYDRA, Sabretooth, Kingpin, and other infamous villains.

These are stories of death-defying courage, Black love and self-discovery. These are the stories of a super hero learning what it means to be a symbol. These are the stories of Sam Wilson.

Release date: January 14, 2025

This is my full DC humour comic reading list. I can't lock notes on my phone, but I honestly wish I could. Because if I add any more to this damned list, it'll stretch for miles and miles. I just have to settle for everything I have here. We have 60s humour comics, some 90s and 2000s tie in tv show comics, some scooby doo/dc crossover stuff, some graphic novels, the list goes on. If any of the things on the list seem unfamiliar, it's probably because I learned of them through either exploring the website I now use for comic reading, or from exploring the DC wikis. I am half tempted to add the other stuff made by the Tiny Titans people to this list, even if it isn't DC. Their artstyle and sense of humour was always so visually pleasing. I adored it as a kid. So would it be weird if I put the rest of their stuff (even non-dc related) on the reading list? That's what i'm pondering now...

I would curse the name of Gerard Way for getting me into the hell that is understanding the basic chronological order of comic books but I can’t pretend it wasn’t a canon event

Batman Reading Order

I finally got my friends to start reading Batman, but now I need to give them a reading order. The thing is, I’ve mostly read whatever I could get my hands on, based on recommendations from people online and with a focus on Tim. So I’m not really sure what to recommend.

They know almost nothing; just last month, they found out there was more than one Robin and that Batwoman and Batman aren’t the “parents” of a family or something like that.

What would be a good reading order to get someone into Batman? Assume the person knows absolutely nothing about it.

Harley Quinn 30th Anniversary Special • cover by Stanley 'Artgerm' Lau [Sept 2022]

I love this little scene from the Star Wars Legends Epic Collection Volume 1: Dawn of the Jedi: Force Storm #1.

For context, the Je’daii Master has just told these younglings the history of Queen Hadiya, who began the Despot War against the Je’daii. But she ultimately failed twelve years ago (from the standpoint of this scene) and was killed and the war ended.

The way the Je'daii Master handles the situation is so different from what we would expect of the Jedi of later generations.

The Jedi of later generations would tell their students to let go of their anger and their hatred, that these are trappings of the Dark Side. However, the ancient Je'daii Order of 25,800(ish) BBY champion balance above all else, and so they recognize that hatred and anger are a natural part of being alive. They are not dangerous emotions, so long as you do not let these emotions consume you.

"To understand Hadiya, I must find where she lives in my heart, how I am like her."

Also, I absolutely love this quote which so beautifully displays the radical compassion of the Je'daii.

You can buy Star Wars Legends Epic Collection Volume 1 here on iBooks if you have an Apple device, that’s where I got it. I could only find it for over $200 on Amazon so this is the best I got. I'm sure you could find it on eBay though?

I recently met Jennika in the idw comics and now i have Family Web thoughts.

(i had said a while ago that i probably wouldn't add Jennika or Venus until i knew more about them. Well here we are. for jennika at least. Still haven't met Venus (if she's even in the idw comics. everyone else is so i kinda expect to see her at some point) but i have a way of adding her in as well, which i might do regardless.)

I'm not sure i have words enough today to explain my entire thought process on Jennika here, but i'm going to certainly try. under the cut b/c it might end up rambling

Jennika is the turtles' bio little sister born months after their disappearance. I'm not sure if Lou knew about her before everything went down (i'm thinking not since i'd imagine it was fairly new news to even Mama and she just didn't have the time to tell him.)

Her Spider traits are visibly subtle unless she is actively showing them off. Her eyes are red (and can be entirely red w/ a bit of a glow like mama's spider eyes) and her teeth are pointed. She can also stick to surfaces (which she does a lot) and she might do webs like mikey (i'm still debating that one.)

Jennika grew up fairly isolated b/c Mama already lost her other four and she didn't want to risk loosing Jennika as well. She had tutors for everything. She excels in dance class and when she showed interest in martial arts, she was given a teach and excelled in that too.

She idolizes her mother and, having grown up being told about her older brothers (and promises that they would be reunited one day) she idolizes them as well. Well, she idolizes the versions of them she's mentally imagined over the last 12 years. So meeting them in person would be a bit of a shock since she was expecting four perfect brothers and, instead, got four goobers who think that even frozen pizza is a delicacy.

She can already use her mystics pretty reliably (via a mystic conduit like the boys' weapons). Hers is basically just shadow clones that she can (maybe) mystically switch places with when needed.

She usually hangs out on the ceiling of mama's office when she's not in classes. But, once she turned 13, was finally able to convince Mama to let her help a little more directly. Since then she has posing as Mama's assistant (though mama insists that she must use a clone if the task is anything other than standing next to Mama. Jennika doesn't always listen to this rule.)

I might have more, but i can't think of it right now. so just enjoy some concept art for the turtle's little sister, i guess.

Watching RWBY Chibi for the first time for this essay and I'm in absolute agony. Do people actually find this funny?
