Comics this week (5/12/2021)?

comics-and-videogames said: This week's comics (asking now cause it's around the time you said you'd have them if not disregard)

Anonymous said: Comics this week? (05/10/2021)

Just under the wire before the new batch:

Spider-Man: Spider’s Shadow #2: Not exactly another Life Story in the making, but this does seem to be the closest we’ll ever get to a Spider-Man Kills The Marvel Universe, and I don’t know that there’s any other team I’d trust more with that.

X-Corp #1: Wow, so it turns out it’s really hard to do what Hickman does if you’re not Hickman, huh. Frankly this kinda sucked all on its own merits, but no overlooking the disparity.

Guardians of the Galaxy #14: Oh my god we already knew Ewing writes peak Doom shit but guys this is SUCH peak Doom shit.

Heroes Reborn: Hyperion & The Imperial Guard #1: Not quite as good as it was clever, but still a solidly fun little jaunt and I’ll keep an eye open for Ryan Cady’s name in the future.

Heroes Reborn #2: Aaron’s “it’s dumb and bad but I like it” Avengers approach applied to writing the high-concept adventures of dickhead Superman? You know I was all about this.

Project Patron #2: Not as propulsive as the first issue, but still a really solid read and setting up exciting things to come.

Proctor Valley Road #3: Still pretty good but I am completely thrown by how quickly and entirely Morrison abandoned the relative realism they were handling the dialogue with in the first issue.

Ice Cream Man #24: It’s a familiar schtick at this point, but still a good one.

Barbalien: Red Planet: I’d been hearing effusive praise about this mini for as long as it was coming out and was looking forward to it finally arriving in trade, and I can’t say I was disappointed. Obviously it looks good as hell with Gabriel Walta drawing it, and Tate Brombal does some really good “superhero as metaphor” work by having the layer of fantasy not over the subject itself - in this case the AIDS crisis and cop violence against the queer community - but how the central figure engages with it. An easy recommendation if you might otherwise be on the fence.

DC Festival of Heroes: The Asian Superhero Celebration #1: Aside from the eponymous ‘Festival of Heroes’ entry everything in here ranges from solid to really good, definitely among the winners of DC’s anthologies over the past few years and I’m looking forward to the apparent Monkey Prince book in the works.

Superman #31: The substitution of Godlewski with Norm Rapmund threw me in a way that artistic switches rarely do, but this is still a really solid issue and I’m kicking myself for only just now realizing the metaphor with a story about Clark and Jon struggling with legacy having them literally fight a gigantic shadow that makes vessels of whoever it’s cast upon. These Tales of Metropolis backups though...folks, I stood up for Sean Lewis with his Future State work, but it’s starting to look like we may have dodged a bullet that he didn’t get a more prominent place in the line.

Wonder Woman #772: Continuing to really dig this! Just don’t understand how this team’s Future State story sucked so bad, because this has been a hoot and now it’s grappling with larger ideas regarding Diana really well. Hope it continues on this trajectory, for now just happy that we’re finally getting fun Wonder Woman comics.

RWBY/Justice League (digital) #9: So it IS multiverse-related, which makes me much more curious how this is going to end up. Glad the next installment will apparently be the ‘everybody sits down and talks’ material that’s all I’ve really wanted from this story since it was announced.

Justice League: Last Ride #1: Not all you want it to be, but in ways I’m not sure can really be called its fault? It was written and formatted as a digital-first book but for some reason didn’t end up one so it stutters awkwardly back to life after a clean breaking point halfway through, and with all due respect to Miguel Mendonca who does a fine job here, if you’re doing a prestige-ey continuity-free kinda grungy Final Justice League Story mini and have Darick Roberson on the covers, it’s gonna be frustrating to not also have him on the interiors. It’s still a solid read and Zdarsky clearly gets Clark in particular in a big way, it’s just hard thus far not to imagine a better version of it.

Batman: Urban Legends #3: Zdarsky writes such a good Batman, god. The Shiva story was decent, I’m hoping the presumed upcoming Brandon Thomas Outsiders book is more of a piece with his Future State feature for them than this, and the Grifter stuff is still decent trashy fun.

The Joker #3: Still a great Gordon book, but arguably more importantly given the title this is the first time Tynion’s done a truly great Joker moment.

Rorschach #8: A book I continue to like.

Kisses to the sky to every person who experienced and suffered at the hands of the systems that have been enforced within society. To every baby and woman failed by the medical system. To every person who was trafficked and stripped of their humanity at the hands of powerful individuals. To every life lost due to the governments around the world’s lack of care and evil actions. 

To every angel mentioned in the last two paragraphs and the many more unnamed, I’m so sorry, we failed you. We’re working on doing better and being better. We will get there. Your cries aren’t unheard, your beauty isn’t unseen. You did not die in vain. You deserved better. You deserved better. We’re fighting for you and we’re not letting up. 

Kisses to the sky for all my Angels. I feel you all right here beside me, everywhere I go. Keep on watching over me and the whānau. Everything I do is in honour of all that you all were. Beyond blessed to have known you all in this lifetime. 

[a-dumb-bitch-apparently]

I'm so fucking angry

I'm 16, so I can't vote

I'm living in my parents' house, so I can't go out and protest

I have signed so many petitions, but I still feel like I should be doing more

I just learned about the steps to fascism in school, and I see the signs

I can't tell my parents this is happening because it's "fake news"

My healthcare rights as a trans person just got taken away, but "just stop being trans it won't affect you"

I want to take a bigger stand on social issues happening, but I can't

The only fucking things I can do is try and help save the fucking bees, because that's not a matter of human rights so for some fucking reason I'm allowed to talk about it without getting yelled at

https://blacklivesmatter.com/petitions/

So go and sign some of those petitions maybe?

I'm so fucking sorry to everyone that has to deal with this first hand, but I know that the most important thing for me right now is staying alive so I can help make more changes later

Drawing and message in support of Black Lives Matter from 2nd July

The images containing only text read:

“I am not Black.  It is not my place to speak on behalf of the Black community. Instead, I urge that you listen to the voices of the Black community / BIPOC / BAME communities and educate yourself on instances of systemic racism and police brutality.

Nobody said your life doesn’t matter. But all lives can’t matter until Black lives matter. Yes, everyone’s life should matter. Then start working towards that being true! Don’t make excuses. Actions speak louder than words. Speak out against injustice whenever you can.

Here’s some resources where you can find out more:

-> ally.wiki is a document that contains links to many petitions, places to donate, how to contact officials, and where you can go to further educate yourself

- > impact.crd.co contains links with info relating to BLM as well as other global issues that you should know about” (end of text slide 1)

“Say their names. Say as many as you can. There are countless others who have already been forgotten. Do not let any more slip away. We must continue to demand justice for all.

We must say the names of and demand justice for those who have been discriminated against, mistreated, injured or murdered, including:

Michael Brown, Sandra Bland, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin, Freddie Gray, Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Emmett Till, Elijah McClain, George Floyd, Regis Korchinski-Paquet, Dion Johnson, James Scurlock, Tamla Horsford, Dafonte Miller, Dominique Fells, Tshegofatso Pule, Riah Milton, Robert Fuller, Robert Anthony Wood, David McAtee, Ala’junaye Davis, Ndella Jack, Belly Mujinga, Joāo Pedro, Pamela Turner, Ahmaud Arbery, Emerald Black, Amiya Braxton, Darrius Stewart, Jennifer Jeffley, Dreasjon “Sean” Reed, Althea Bernstein, Oluwatoyin Salau, Rayshard Brooks,Anthony Evans, Justin Howell , Willie Simmons, Anthony Wint,  Albert Wilson, Chrystul Kizer,   Crystal Mayson, Cameron Green, Amari Boone, Collins Khosa, Rashad Cunningham, Jonas Joseph, Tazne Van Wyk, Eric Riddick, Angel Bumpass, Chaffin Darnel Y, Kenneth Reams, Ashton Dickson, Anderson Arboleda, Kyjuanzi Harris, Cláudia da Silva Ferreira, Crosley Green, Kenneka Jenkins, Shantel Davis, Christopher Terrell, Mubarak Soulemane, Sheku Bayoh, Martin Gugino, Cameron Lamb, Darrien Hunt, Matthew Tucker, George Dreher, Shukri Abdi, David Dorn, Darren Rainey, LaVena Johnson, Sandy Guardiola, Maurice Gordon Jr, Jemel Roberson, Dana Fletcher, Taliya Denham, Dominique Clayton, Michael Dean, Wallace Gardner Jr, Jaleel Stallings, Lakith Smith, A’Donte Washington, Robert Fuller, Kevin Penn, Nina Pop, Kayla Moore, Marcus Malone, Rodey Reed, Tshego Pule, Jamelia Hinds Vicks, Alaa Massri, Oliver Campbell, Jamarion Robinson, Kimmie Duncan, Kadijah Madinatu Saccoh, Ryan Twyman, Kendrick Johnson, Tyler Lumar, Cornelius Fredericks, Donny Sanders, Christopher Kalonji, Kenneth Walker, Muhlaysia Booker, Merci Mack, Brayla Stone, Elijah Nichols” (end of text slide 2)

Please note the names were only the ones I could gather from research at the time of the drawing.

Statement copied from my Twitter:

“I support #BlackLivesMatter. I will be making an effort to be actively anti-racist and anti-discrimination, and will continue to self-educate.

Drawing this made me reflect on how little I draw Black characters. Apart from Quinn from Final Space, I realised that I can't remember the last time I drew someone who was Black. I'm making it my goal to improve diversity in my art and practice drawing more varied characters.“

[extremefrogrefrigerator]

Black lives matter.

The current and recent and past events that have been occurring absolutely disgust me. Here’s what I’ve got to say: 

The role of a cop has always been said to be a trustworthy source of protection. But how is this supposed to be true when the police are murdering black people? How is this supposed to be true when people of color can’t trust the police? How is this supposed to be true when many black people, including George Floyd, were murdered by cops? How is this supposed to be true when a large number of cops have, over and over again, proven that they are NOT a trustworthy source of protection? 

Enough is enough, and now is the time for a change. The past few weeks have been hell, but so have the last 100 years. 

I am not proud to live in a place that doesn’t treat black people right. I refuse to let it happen and let it continue. We shouldn’t just let this happen. We have to take a stand. 

As for all of the protests and the riots: People are doing this because they are angry and they want to be heard. There has been a large wrongdoing, and so the people are going to clap right back with something large as well. It’s a way of showing that this is a big issue. The riots and the protests are  way of screaming in the systems face: THIS NEEDS TO STOP. The people are angry and know that enough is enough, and they need to get that message through as LOUDLY as they possibly can so that people can really listen for once. Because this injustice needs to stop. 

This is the last straw. Everyone and anyone can make a difference and an end to injustice against black people if they take a stand and use their voice.Even if you think that this doesn’t affect you, it does. It doesn’t matter who you are or what race you are because nobody should be living in fear and injustice just because they don’t have the privilege of a lighter color of skin. Now is not the time to just stand by. We MUST take a stand and we MUST make change in ANY WAY THAT WE CAN.
