Who Is Superman? A Private Interview with Lois Lane short comic WIPs!

Some panels in progress I really like! We're pulling straight from STAS' scenic set piece for the private interview. Even though we're almost finished with the comic, I'm thinking of posting it on Lunar New Year. It's relevant and symbolically feels right :p

Sanctuary, One of the Best Green Arrow stories ever

Sanctuary(Detective Comics #551-552)

Just coming of a disappointment that Billie Jean wouldn't show up again, a banger story came. And it just gets better as you go on.

So Dinah and Ollie were hanging out in a diner. Then:

Ollie doesn't give a shit, punches the fucking cop.

I'll mention something here, that will turn out to be irrelevant later on. Ollie only stood up to protect the legal immigrant here. Just because it's something that would get slightly in people's heads, the idea of the hero limiting themselves to the law, but this is Green Arrow, wait for it.

The illegal ones were arrested. The kid that Ollie protected, Guillermo, tells him how although he's legal, his brother is illegal.

Ollie then goes out to visit Guillermo's brother, Francisco who's hiding in a church with other illegal immigrants, to help him somehow.

The INS barges in the church and arrests everyone, the immigrants, Ollie and the priest. All of them are taken to the detention center.

The warden(I guess) says a bunch of nonsense and Ollie shows his disdain for the law.

Dinah shows up in the detention center as Ollie's lawyer. (Is this just a cover or does she really have a degree?)

She brings some stuff so Ollie can break out of the prison.

He breaks out with Francisco and his family.

Love Ollie calling it underground railroad

And then...

Yeah, Let's fucking free everyone.

Continuing talking about the underground railroad.

And he does all that very charmingly and chaotic. A silly goose.

So, let's review what he did, he punched the INS cop standing up for an immigrant and standing up against racism.

Broke out every immigrant held in an INS prison. He also just left free and didn't get any formal release. He just broke out.

And if you haven't grasped, this isn't even a "these INS are corrupt INS guys". They are just the INS. There's no corruption or anything. This is one of Ollie's biggest middle fingers to the law.

For other story involving Ollie standing up for illegal immigrants, check World's Finest #275, the full story is 274-*278.

Oj, svijetla majska zoro

[hurtcomforted]

imagine that, in the first avenger, before pre-serum steve's training montage, we get a flashback with sarah rogers to explain his perseverance. imagine that when he goes to save bucky and after losing him, we get flashbacks to them as kids.

imagine that, in civil war, instead of (or along with if that's what it takes) more of tony's daddy issues we also get to see little steve with sarah to also understand him better.

imagine we get more of steve's backstory.

Hey, so uh...

If you're watching or engaging with something regarding people opening up about having wanted to take their own lives

And a loved one sees you engaging with the material and feels comfortable enough opening up about how they themselves felt that lost at one point but they have been working on their mental health to make sure they don't feel that way ever again

And your response is to get angry at them for ever having felt that way, including saying that 'you wouldn't have even felt sorry them if they killed themselves for a "stupid reason like that"'.

Maybe you should just... Go back to embracing a life full of not reading the room or being socially aware. Because you obviously can't handle certain issues when they're at your own back door but you can pretend to care when they're on a screen or in a page.

Iran is bombing Israel apparently, FAFO moment truly.

Both Biden and Trump are vowing to defend Israel with harsh military force against Iran.

If they follow through with it and the US moves against Iran, this will actually become a war.

Do not stop pressuring politicians to support Palestine. Do not stop advocating for Palestine. Do not stop protesting Israel. Do not stop protesting genocide.

From the river to the sea.

the number of Americans who think they can just move to somewhere else - my social media feeds everywhere (except tumblr, but I’ve seen it here too) is flooded with Americans asking whether they qualify as citizens bc their great great grandpa was from [insert European country] or which area in Scotland has best weather or which southern European country has cheapest rent or how to get a marriage visa to a Nordic country

my dudes. you can’t. there’s no “I’ll just move elsewhere” about this. Europe generally speaking is hostile to immigrants even from within Europe. unfortunately for you, you will have to stay and keep voting and keep working to make your country a better place. I’m sorry it’s hard. it is what it is.

DEMOCRAT VOTER CALLS OUT KAMALA HARRIS FOR BEING A LIAR!!!!

This guy is speaking the truth about what is going on in the Democratic party!

[godisarepublican]

I'm done. I'm..I'm just done.

Biden is shipping Palestinians from Gaza to the United States.

THESE PEOPLE HATE OUR GUTS!

Biden is importing Palestinian Gazans to the United States!

HE'S GIVING THEM MONEY, HOUSING, HEALTHCARE...EVERYTHING!

Biden is utterly insane.

He's just incapable of caring about ANYTHING that matters! He can't put this nation, the American people first. It's not that he won't, he can't. It's not in him. Caring about things that matter, living up to his oath of office, serving the people he was supposedly elected to serve is just not written in his DNA. It's not there.

Are there any characters from fandoms outside of DC which you have changed in your mind to a similar level as some of the DC characters you depict?

As an example, Ma'al, who at this point feels like an oc of you (I say this with respect and affection, I will see all Ma'al's that aren't like yours as wrong for the rest of my life), I just wanna know if you've reworked characters from any other fandoms in such a way

HAHA I'll take that Ma'al compliment, I'm honored. This is a great question! And the short answer is: no! This DC fandom AU remix stuff I'm doing is the first time I've truly engaged in fandom that wasn't just drawing a quick illustration and dipping out (and stalking fandom blogs). Back then I didn't really understand the appeal of creating AUs or remixing the characters because my thought process was "well the canon thing I like is already good, why change it?" but well!

This late into my career where I'm allowing myself to let loose and have fun to combat the creeping threat of burnout, I've come to love the transformative side of fandom that takes canon material and makes just as if not more compelling stories than canon. And cape comics really lend themselves to that because DC canon is just as nebulous and evolves with time and writers/artists.

Back then I never understood why people could like narratively weak characters, but I get it now. I like drawing niche characters within DC, because, not only is it a cozy smaller space of fans, but when the source material is flawed, I like getting creative with how I'd remix the story to make it my own. It's a mix of being at the skill level to be able to make comics and fanart regularly and being at a unique point in my life where playing with DC like they're my toys is exactly what I need as a break from work, haha.

Hello! I really liked the recent chapter you posted. I'm excited to see more :]

Do you mind elaborating on Spy's jewishness? It's a very fun headcanon and I'd like to learn what you think about it ^_^

sure! first of all 🍉🍉🍉 to be clear

sniper and spy are the only two who i’ve explicitly stated as jewish within the text, i think, and likely the only two for whom it’s going to come up super frequently, but i also do think that tony’s wife theresa is jewish, as is collin’s wife lily, and i don’t think any singular one of them is the classic Monolith To Represent An Entire Culture Singularly.

i imagine spy was somewhat heavier on tradition for himself, more orthodox, follows kosher, that sort of thing, and that if his family were still physically present enough to be part of his life they would be absolutely flabbergasted that he married an irish catholic woman and even more flabbergasted at how chill she is about it. i imagine spy is a pretty private guy but went out of his way to stay in contact with the judeo-french community in boston. this would’ve been around, like, ~1940 or so? the O’Connell family i always believed to be closer to South End, which was historically a cultural hub in the city. him being part of espionage efforts as a teen throughout the 20s means that he had a pretty unusual immigrant experience for that reason, but i thought it was more interesting to sort of keep spy more grounded in reality compared to the team fortressing of the rest of the peripheral landscape. some of the older boys who remember when spy was around remember how hard spy and ma worked to celebrate the holidays for both catholic traditions and french jewish traditions, and archie for example has tried to pass that on to his own kids as well.

sniper meanwhile i have grounded as kind of the ‘my family is jewish but um y’know not in the way that people hate’ brand ‘palatable immigrant or different culture trying not to take up space in a place that is not necessarily friendly to outsiders’ story. his mum and dad were the only jewish people in their relatively small community by the time sniper was a young boy and they really did try to keep up traditions, but it’s hard when you have no outside support to help reinforce that stuff. sniper has a (relatable) internal sense of being both an outsider to the predominant culture while also not feeling confident enough in it being ‘his culture’ to make any claims for himself. i imagine that if he could meet some of spy’s old buddies in boston and connect a little more with the diaspora he would be able to start feeling more of that pride and connection, but as it is he’s caught between dodging antisemitism and denying a culture that does matter to him but in a way that’s difficult to verbalize and not often asked about.

i think spy and sniper might bicker about it at times in later chapters, next chapter in particular. scout’s ma is definitely going to make at least one more comment about scout getting married to a nice jewish boy though. that trope in media about east coasters is just too much of a staple to pass up.
