FUTURE STATE: GOTHAM no.2 • cover art • Artgerm [June 2021]

Tragedy has brought Gotham City to its knees. Countless people are dead, seemingly at the hands of the Next Batman. Gotham demands justice, and Red Hood has vowed to answer their call. Even if that means beating his way through Nightwing and the rest of the Bat-Family to do it

(W) Joshua Williamson, Dennis Culver (A) Giannis Milonogiannis (CA) Artgerm

That’s a terrible Batman impression, kid.

Twitter nearly packed it in last night, so transcribing a thread of mine from this year I liked here for posterity, with minor edits and a bit of reformatting:

A thread on how Superman's development over the decades inadvertently mirrors stages of human development, because even though I took 'Superman guy' out of my bio to avoid pigeonholing myself if I don't do this sort of thing occasionally I will explode.

Golden Age is simple - he's a newborn. The world's a hazy outline, and the big baby is destructively tantruming against everything Wrong in it.

He doesn't even have the object permanence to get that someone doesn't become a new person when they put on glasses!

By the Silver Age as a kid he's a little more cognizant. He's got friends and recognizes family, it feels like he's all-powerful and should be able to easily have whatever he wants yet at the same time he's constantly powerless, undermined, and under assault by the mean 'ol world.

(He's also kind of a little shit who thinks in black and white terms of right-and-wrong but delights in his ability to find 'loopholes' around the rules, and everyone generally indulges him.)

Bronze is the awkward teen years, wracked by ennui,

self-doubt,

and a soaring sense of potential and self-importance.

While more mature and capable of great insight, he's blissfully blind to how deeply, deeply stupid his world still frequently is.

Then the Byrne/Triangle years - he's grown-up, buttoned-up, a movie star now and putting on a professional front without his neuroses so blatantly on display.

He's even trying for something like an adult relationship after vacillating between 'I can't be tied down' and 'girls are icky'

He is however also helplessly getting his ass kicked or otherwise humiliated by the powers that be now on a semi-regular basis, because this is the Real World, Son!

In the 2000s and 2010s you start to get Superman as father - allegorically at first in starting to be treated as such by the rest of the 'superhero community', with Cir-El, Kon-El being revealed as his clone/kid/brother/whatever, Chris Kent, and culminating in Jon Kent.

(Illustration by Sebastian Fiumara)

This era's naturally bookended by Manchester Black telling him that he's a fuddy-duddy stick in the mud dweeb who's out of touch with The Kids.

(As pointed out by @charlottefinn the New 52 at least for the present-day stuff is in this context basically his midlife crisis - or perhaps midlife Crisis - where he leaves his wife and awkwardly dates around, gets a shiny new wardrobe, and generally acts like he's 20 again.)

(Prior to recent events, we were) entering the full-on middle aged era of Superman where he's slowing down if still very active,

the kid's out of the house,

and with so many years behind him he's reassessing.

(And even aside from a strategy however sensible in context of 'leaves Earth to hang out with a bunch of cool young people and get back to his alien-fighting dictator-toppling glory days', lest you think that midlife crisis is fully over:)

Like a lot of Superman - like a lot of any character that exists on this sort of broad scale - this definitely wasn't deliberate, but lines up neatly and lends a certain weight. Following to the logical conclusion, we can expect this Jon and Clark in 30 more years:

I googled 'Old Man Superman' to get that last cover since to my surprise I didn't already have it saved and found this extremely cool design by Giannis Milonogiannis and Ladon Alex, so here's your reward for making it to the end.

One time i dreamed of a cool Dredd/Blame crossover where Dredd's team go to a sector in mega city one that builts itself weirdly and they discover safeguard judges that hunt anyone without the NTG and Killy is there to help even if he starts off with rough interactions with Dredd

I have only a passing familiarity with BLAME! (been meaning to rectify that) but I want it. Especially with some cool black and white art. Get Giannis Milonogiannis in there, dude knows what's up.

Scarlett (2024)

I don't have any nostalgia for G.I. Joe. I got into the franchise when they stopped letting it be stupid. I did enjoy the series from IDW written by Chuck Dixon mostly (not the 2018 series, which I think had many problems) and its more grounded offering for the series.

But one thing that interested me about that outing was the way any character could become the protagonist. There's so much personality and specialization to each one that you almost know what kind of story you have to write from their skills.

Such was the case for Scarlett in Scarlett about Scarlett, the G.I. Joe character.

I am really enjoying the Energon Universe. It's what I wanted the Hasbroverse to be but was too overly-complicated and had too many books, but Scarlett's Strike Force made me a fan of the central character, both for its excellent writing and its art by Giannis Milonogiannis especially.

It's with this legacy in mind when I say: Scarlett (2024) is... fine.

It doesn't really do anything wrong, per se; the setup and personal stakes are all there, Scarlett remains as interesting and competent as usual, and also is gay here (yay!). But while the story itself is self-contained, it's setup for an effect in the wider Energon Universe that has yet to reveal itself (to me, anyway).

This doesn't stop itself from being a good series on its own; there's a twist and turn and the final issue draws from the previous issues in a way I hadn't expected. You know, competence. But there aren't specific moments I would pick out as especially noteworthy or interesting, it's just... good.

It's also five issues, so if you're in for a military/ninja romp it'll be totally up your alley. If you're in it for the Energon Universe it's an intriguing change to the status quo. But it's strained between those two, and didn't have the space to stand on its own.
