Jimmy and Clark in Action Comics #1068

Seriously?

On what planet could Bruce feasibly stand in for Dick? You can hide a lot with a domino mask, but he’s twice as wide, half a foot taller and a quarter as flexible.

[disappointment-comics]

you could make one of these for every run of iron man ever made. he’s nothing if not consistent.

Nightwing #119

[smashpages]

Wednesday Comics, the 2009 weekly anthology inspired by the Sunday comics sections of old, gets a new printing of its collected edition in March. If you never saw the originals this is worth checking out, as it features stories by Dave Gibbons, John Arcudi, Kurt Busiek and more, with a lot of beautiful artwork by Ryan Sook, José Luis García-López and Kevin Nowlan, Joe Kubert and more. I’d still love to see a sequel to this.

Oh 🥹

Green Arrow #12 (2023-)

[thevelominati]

outside of the fact that MY CHILDREN ARE TOGETHER AGAIN, i really like the changes hickman's made to the mythos. more than the characterisation of pete and mj, it's jjj i love in this.

jonah and ben working together's a nice touch, and ties nicely into the idea that og jonah gave pete a job partly because of the impact of ben's death on pete.

the "PARKER! PARKEEEEEER! oh hi pete" panels were a nice bit of humour, not too OTT. the fact that - outside of his vendetta against spider-man - og jonah is good at his job and has historically been on the side of minorities and civil rights comes through in jjj's reaction to events, as well as the conversation he has with ben.

and speaking of ben, i feel like 616 ben is mythologised a touch at times, so it's interesting to see hickman's take on a living ben parker who's had a whole lifetime with both may and pete, and how that would have informed his personality and his relationship with pete (and by extension, pete himself). it'd be interesting to know what the impetus for peter growing out of being an obnoxious, arrogant little shit as a teen into a well-rounded human being was, given the lack of ben dying and the lack of spider bite as a teen.

Nightcrawler in Uncanny Spider-Man #1

[willfulscarlet]

Current Hellblazer run remains my favourite ongoing. The art is always effective and striking, the story is cleverly woven, every character beat lands squarely. I want someone who understands American folk mythologies to info-dump at me about how it refracts and reflects, about John as the perpetual outsider and reliably unreliable narrator. John remains the biggest bastard in the multiverse, dragging everyone along to their inevitable dooms.

Also the moments like this, where you can just see Si Spurrier laughing at his own jokes (deserved, tbh).

Bad hell-lizard, bad!

Absolute Wonder Woman #1 was really good. Glad I gave it a chance, and I recommend it!
