Last Rites

I was trying to get the water hot. I was unwrapping a tiny soap. I was preparing to take a shower with you dead in the other room. And should I wash my hair does lemongrass go with grief. How can my body shower itself like it always did. I was meditating on the reflexive verb in Spanish to avoid the next step. Then I was throwing out take-out containers bottles of wine from the night before. We had gathered and told stories around your motionless form and though you couldn't speak we tried to make you laugh. Carlos impersonating the Irish priest sent to give the last rites. Sorry, he said in a brogue, a Peruvian priest would have made more sense. And then he and José left and I slept inches from you and listened to you breathe. When you stopped breathing we gathered again.

(THE FURY OF) FIRESTORM: THE NUCLEAR MAN #64-65 / ANNUAL #5 OCTOBER - NOVEMBER 1987 BY JOHN OSTRANDER, JOE BROZOWSKI, SAM DE LA ROSA, NANSI HOOLAHAN, ROSS ANDRU, ROY RICHARDSON, ALFREDO ALCALA AND SHELLEY EIBER

After his ultimatum went wrong, Firestorm is ready to die fighting for his cause of global disarmament. But the government of the United States and the Soviet Union will rather nuke him than accept his demands. Guest stars: Suicide Squad and the Justice League.

SCORE: 9

Comic-book of this era are generally known to me, as these are the comics that were reprinted overseas when I was growing up. Anything DC from 1987 to 1992. But one title managed to escape my attention during that period, and that title was Firestorm. I know it was being reprinted by a Spanish publisher, but those comics were hard to get in my country, and by the time I got into buying comics from comic.shops, I never gave the character a try. I did end up reading some stuff involving him, around the mega crossover between all the “government” titles, two years from these issues (with the very elemental Firestorm).

So I had no idea any of this happened. It really took me by surprise, and by the end of this story Firestorm is slightly different... just a little, it’s a very subtle difference... but it makes a big difference.

I also wasn’t aware that Ronny was the grandson of a Golden Age hero (Richard Dare, Captain X). Something that I understand will be explored later.

Graphically... the issue could have been much better. Some sequences, especially the ones with the missile, could have benefited more with proper perspective. I do think the subtle difference between the Firestorms is important, and in this the art team succeeded.

Spoilers after the break...

You actually have to look back and you can notice some other differences, like the mask having some modifications.

And yeah, Martin Stein is dead (for now), and now Ronnie merges with Pozhar.

I don’t think the climax of this story would have happened like that in real life though. I am pretty sure the parties involved would have rather continue warring Firestorm than admit defeat.

It also creates a deadline for nuclear disarmament by 1990, I wonder if that will be brought back again.

[morbidology]

Kerry Ann Graham, 15, and Francine Marie Trimble, 14, were neighbours and friends living in Forrestville, California. They had been inseparable since elementary school. On the 16th of December, 1978, the two girls left their homes, telling their parents they were going to visit the Corddingtown Mall in Santa Rosa. Christmas was fast approaching and the girls had presents to purchase. It was the last time the were ever seen alive.

That evening, when they didn’t return home,Trimble was reported missing. For reasons unknown, Graham’s family didn’t report her missing until a week later. While it was believed that they may have been victims to foul play, their families considered the fact that they may have ran away from home and hitchiked to elsewhere. Before vanishing, the two girls were at Trimble’s home while her family were out. Police couldn’t determine whether or not they had actually left the house or not, leading some to speculate they could have been abducted there.

Nearly seven months later, two tourists driving along Highway 20 pulled over around 11 miles from Willits to stretch their legs. One went for a walk and discovered two sets of skeletal remains. They marked the location with a soda can and alerted authorities. For some reason, the remains were classified as belonging to one male and one female. Both bodies were nude and concealed within duct-taped garbage bags. The evidence was then sent to the FBI and this case went cold along with the disappearance of Graham and Trimble.

In 2011, the remains found at Highway 20 were exhumed and re-tested. Now, it was discovered that the remains were actually that of two females. With an advancement in DNA technology, it was then discovered that the remains were in fact Graham and Trimble. Unfortunately the remains were so far decomposed that a cause of death could not be determined.

A potential break in the case came in 2000 when a New Jersey inmate confessed to murdering the girls. However, it was determined to be a hoax and the inmate had fabricated the story based on newspaper articles. While no definite suspects have ever been named, both serial killers Rodney Alcala and Gerald and Charlene Gallego have been named as potential persons of interest.

You & the Raw Bullets || Rosa Alcalá

https://soundcloud.com/poets-org/rosa-alcala-you-the-raw-bullets/s-0CbKt Why the image just now of a bullet entering the mouth? Why call it raw, when it isn’t sticky and pink like a turkey meatball, just the usual: gold, and shiny, and cylindrical? What about this bullet is uncooked? Why does it multiply with you in parka or short skirt, versions of the you that you were, swallowing raw bullets as you walked? The images come without assailant, without gun, just the holes the bullets opened, the holes through which they went. And now at the age in which you ride enclosed in glass like the Pope or President you are spitting up the bullets slow-simmered in your own juices. You are shitting them out, feeling them drop from you in clumps of blood, in the days of bleeding left. But you cannot expel all of them. Some, raw as the day they entered, have expanded their mushroom heads into the flesh, or lodged their hot tip into the taste center of the brain. Will the tongue’s first encounter with pomegranate seeds be forever a lost Eden, that fruit of your girlhood, which, also meaning grenade, was perhaps never innocent? Do your own raw bullets come back to you, my friends? Let us legislate the active voice, instead. Not, “Many bodies have been used as blanks, aluminum cans.” But, “Here are the men who pulled the trigger, look at them.”

Pourquoi l’image juste là d’une balle qui entre dans la bouche ? Pourquoi la qualifier de crue, alors que ce n’est ni collant ni rose comme une boulette de viande de dinde, juste comme d’habitude : dorée, brillante et cylindrique ? Quoi si cette balle n’est pas cuisinée ? Pourquoi se démultiplie-elle alors qu’en parka ou en mini-jupe, versions du toi que tu fus, tu marchais avalant ces balles crues ? Les images viennent sans assaillant, sans flingue, juste les trous que les balles ont ouverts, les trous à travers lesquelles elles sont passées. Et maintenant à l’âge où tu conduis enfermée dans du verre comme le Pape ou le Président, tu molardes les balles lentement mitonnées dans tes propres sucs. Tu les chies, les sentant tomber de toi en des trombes de sang, dans les jours d’une hémorragie restant. Mais tu ne peux pas les extraire toutes. Quelques unes, aussi crues que le jour où elles sont entrées, ont laissé s’étendre le champignon de leur tête dans la chair, ou logés leur petit bout chaud dans le centre cervical du goût. Est-ce la langue la première qui rencontrera les graines de grenade être pour toujours paradis perdu, ce fruit de ton enfance de petite fille, qui, signifiant aussi grenade, peut-être n’a jamais été  innocent ? Vos propres balles crues vous reviennent-elles, mes amis ? Laissez-nous réglementer la voix active, plutôt. Pas « Beaucoup de corps ont été utilisé comme de canettes d’aluminium vides.» Mais « Il y a des hommes qui appuient sur la détente, regardez-les. »  

“I was listening to someone on the radio talk about the importance of referring not only to the victims of sexual harassment and assault, but to the perpetrators—the actors, not just the acted upon. As I listened I began imagining a bullet, which I called ‘raw,’ entering my mouth over and over again, and didn’t at first understand why. As the poem emerged, it showed me that the ‘raw bullets’ were the many times my younger body felt vulnerable and threatened in public spaces—the grope on public transportation, the catcall on the street, an assault in a park—and how I carry those experiences in my older body. But the anger I felt while listening to the radio came from my recognizing the persistence of these dangers to other vulnerable bodies and that this is the world I’ve brought my daughter into, which I was hoping would be different. The poem, however, pushed me past this feeling of personal desperation to a recognition of the possibility in our collective voices.” —Rosa Alcalá

Can we take a moment to appreciate just how cool Shannon Duff’s characters are??

Thinking about Laurie Napier, who risked arrest and certain doom by ghost for a history report and used her head to survive, save the day, and get out of trouble.

Juanita Alcala, who was racially targeted, injured, and nearly murdered in cadet training (and totally didn’t fall in love with the girl who was kind to her from the beginning when no one else was and saved her life).

Rosie Wellington, the foreign hired maid who kept the entire mansion running with her own two hands.

Rosa, the talented aspiring fashion designer who was blackmailed into losing ownership of her designs before finally standing up for herself.

And Allison Baldwin, the girl with the most technical and zoological knowledge and know-how of the 90s who ran a literal secret base after school.
