Cool Comics I Read - 11/28/2022 Edition

Today on DC Universe Infinite I read DC Comics Presents #41, Catwoman (Vol. 2) #54, and Harley Quinn (Vol. 1) #11!

DC Comics Presents #41 (written by Martin Pasko) is part of an old comic series that's essentially just "Superman teams up with XYZ!" (and other letters of the alphabet, but I'd be here all day listing them all), and in this issue he teams up with... The Joker?!

The cover is absolutely irresistible, with Joker gleefully plummeting to his doom as Superman is faced with the dilemma of saving The Joker or saving Perry White (Superman's Friend Jimmy Olsen's Boss). I skimmed through some of it, but highlights include how very very Queer Joker is in all of it. :)

Catwoman (Vol. 2) #54 is what I believe to be the first issue in that volume that was written by one Devin Grayson. I haven't read a whole lot of her work, buuut I've heard nothing but good things about her from my beloved Cluster. If this issue is anything to go by, that reputation of hers is well-earned!

It's got this adorable story of Selina stealing a gem and then becoming very bored of it, only to quickly turn her ire from the gem to the ungrateful museum that didn't do enough to protect it! So, she puts it back... and steals it again... then puts it back... steals it again... and so on, leading to massive ramping up of the security and (as we later learn) the insurance policy for it.

Nothing really happens in the comic besides Selina bamboozling greedy museum dudes, but Devin makes it such a delight. I'm definitely considering reading further issues she wrote for this volume of Catwoman! (By the way, if you like Catwoman, I recommend the current run that Tini Howard's doing!)

Speaking of series I'm considering reading more of... that brings us to Harley Quinn (Vol. 1) #11, written by Karl Kesel! I cannot say enough good about this issue, every page I read of it was almost constant bliss. I'm not familiar with the name Karl Kesel, but for some reason I wasn't expecting much based on it! Oh how wrong I was!

What drew me to it was the hijinks-laden cover, featuring Harley Quinn on a motorbike with Robin (Tim Drake) and Batgirl (Cassandra Wayne), riding off a rooftop with Nightwing just barely holding on! What followed truly did not disappoint.

Despite a kind of trite beginning featuring a retread of the scene from The Killing Joke where Barbara is shot by The Joker, the comic basically immediately recovers with some of the most charming banter I've ever read between Babs and Dick. Dick in particular is in monumentally good form, I was reeling from the charm he had on the entire time.

Harley is an absolute chaos gremlin the entire issue, and it suits her! Speaking of things that suit her, that brings us to Barbara's old Batgirl costume! Harley's wearing it, this issue! "No one else was," she memorably states in the comic.

Tim and Cassie are also here, with Tim being pretty cute and Cassie being a darling I loved to see on every page she graced with her presence. There's this really fun visual note where Cassie's making a heart with her hands while watching Dick & Babs argue.

I'm very curious to read more - especially considering this comic predates the Arkham series and the New 52 so Harley's in her original get-up! I never get tired of seeing it, and hey! If this issue's anything to go off of, apparently I've been missing on a lot of fun Harley comics! I'm definitely considering reading more of it, but that'll have to wait another day.

It's 11:38 PM (CST) as I write this, and I'm all comic'd out for the day. Finding these hidden gems on DC Universe Infinite was a treat, and really served to justify my membership yet again. Looking forward to when I get back to y'all, whenever I feel like sharing about what I've read!

[dany-illy]

I'm going to go for the swedish flag, so blue and yellow, please 😙

Aw okay!

yellow: if you could have any view from your bedroom window what would you choose? I’d choose view on forest and mountains or some small town by the sea. :)

what’s your favorite thing to do on a sunny day?Swimming in a lake, thats really nice

What do you consider lucky?Seeing a chimney-sweep i guess haha

what made you smile today? Batman movie im just watching with my dad. Catwoman is so dramatic

what makes you happy?Spending time with people i love, or painting spontaneously

blue: what do you do when you’re sad?I just give in and im sad. When its evening i cry and let it out. Unfortunately im not much of a fighter when it comes to sadness

what are some things you do when you can’t sleep? Im on the internet until im too tired to keep my eyes open, or i listen to music

what was the best (non-romantic) night you’ve had? Oh this one is good. I’d say it was the night when my class and i had a vernissage of our works in library. That day we met some impressive and well known artists. Later at night we drank wine, lighted up candles and had awesome time. Then one of my classmates went to bathtub and i drew multiple sketches of her. When we went to sleep we couldnt stop laughing. I mean that was awesome. Maybe it was a bit romantic but like there was no romance haha

what kind of covers do you have on your bed? White with green and black patterns.

who is the last person you told a secret to? oh im not sure… My classmate i guess. I dont really have much of secrets, this question is tricky

Thanks for asks anon xoxo ❤❤

Today it’s the last of the recently released books!

For those of who’ve missed it, I’m currently going through the books on my Goodreads TBR that I put on my Unreleased shelf and then immediately forgot/ignored them. It’s been a year since I went through them so now is definitely the time!

I’m getting closer to the perfectly organized Goodreads TBR! One Down the TBR Post at a time!

This post is the last of the recently released books still on my Unreleased shelf because I am trash!

     October & November 2018

October & November will be in the next Down The TBR Hole post under Unreleased because I wrote this posts ages ago, so they’re all unreleased as of writing date. And also if I moved it here then the next post would have all of one book on it! 

September was a busy month!

This time around I kept 10, got rid of 9 and moved 9 around to different shelves!

I didn’t get rid of as many as I had hoped but the ones I’ve kept I’m pretty confident with!

What books have you been dying to read? What books come out in October that you’re looking forward to?
