free comic book day 2023

this was my first (hopefully of many) free comic book day working at a local comics & game shop! i am extremely tired, but happy. here's some thoughts on a few of the free comics i found time to read today.

knight terrors

well, heck.

i was all annoyed about this event ("hey what's a great way to follow up on an event that's explicitly a time when we want to onboard new readers HEY I KNOW how about a companywide crossover where most of those titles take a couple months off and all the new readers we just onboarded might miss out on their characters if their local comic shop wasn't proactive about telling them they won't automatically get these two-shots"), and then they went and led off with a story focused on the character i am the least capable of being objective about.

well, fine. guess i'm bought in now.

the sacrificers

(cw: child abuse)

my attention was grabbed by the bondage & furries on the cover, ngl. i know what i'm about.

be warned that there's a very explicit scene of a father beating his son with a belt in literally the first few pages of this. it's too early to tell from this little snippet whether this is going all in on misery porn or what the deal is. despite loving the art, i'm not sure i'll be picking up the full version of this series. i guess we'll see.

teenage mutant ninja turtles

i'm assuming the first story is just from the miniseries that's been sitting on my "to read" pile, and the rise backup story is probably from one of the previous comics that's being collected in a trade in july, but whatever. it's free comic book day so we read the free comics. it's just what we do.

star trek: day of blood

can we please stop trying to make the klingons the bad guys again? please? i just super don't get why they keep trying to do this. especially in the comics where you can do literally anything. why is this what you choose to do when literally the only limit is your imagination?

we are legends

i mostly grabbed this for the spirit world introduction, since that one was an insta-pull for me as soon as i found out about it. and yeah, out of the three stories in this that was the one i enjoyed the most by far.

i also thought it was kinda weird how dominated the other two stories were by their guest-robins? heck, jason was even the p.ov. character in the one he appeared in. just kinda weird imo.

but yeah, again, i was mostly here for xanthe's story, and it kicked ass, so i'm pretty happy.

Bruce: Congratulations, Jason! You’re the first of my kids to graduate college!

Dick: Yeah, first and only one for all eternity!

Bruce: *Ignoring Dick by sheer willpower* Anyway, what are you planning to do next?

Jason: I think I’m going to continue my education in English Lit.

Bruce: *nervously* Great. You’ll get a Master’s Degree, right?

Jason: …

Bruce: …right?

Jason: Actually, I’m going for a PhD.

Bruce: This is a terrible joke. You’re over the supervillainy, right, Jay?

Jason: Look, my application to GothamU’s PhD program was accepted!

Bruce: No child! Of mine! Will get! A PhD!!!

Jason: I’m hoping to be a literature professor at GothamU, if I survive long enough.

Bruce: *screams incoherently*

Dick: I think you broke him.

#in Gotham saying I want to get a PhD #is equivalent to saying I want to enlist in the army #like we admire your sacrifice please don’t die or go crazy or be evil #either that or announcing that you’re dropping out of high school to start a rock band with the local pot dealer #incorrect batman quotes #batman #dc #dc comics #dcu #batfamily #batfam #jason todd #bruce wayne #dick grayson #incorrect quotes #incorrect dc quotes #incorrect batfamily quotes #humor

there's this light you keep on chasing

#mob psycho 100 #ekubo #dimple #kageyama shigeo #been thinking about dimple and the divine tree arc again lately #his desire to be acknowledged..#to connect with others #no longer part of the living world and yet keeps on choosing to live to fulfill his desires despite all the near death experiences #and mob acknowledges him...and comes to trust him #then in the end for the sake of that connection he's kept living for he becomes willing to sacrifice himself for it..for mob #well...thanks to that connection he comes back too :))#ani art #comic

Every day I wake up and think:

“At some point Izzy realised how out of control things had gotten, and started putting himself in between Ed and the crew, as much as he could. Especially when Ed was too drunk/high to even know what he was doing. Cause Izzy doesn’t want the others to suffer more for his mistakes.”

“They are all bonded through shared trauma now.”

And every day I cry like a baby.

#grey art #fan art #ofmd #ofmd season 2 #ofmd s2 #ofmd s2 spoilers #ofmd spoilers #ofmd comic #ofmd fanart #can you believe how much I love Izzy???#and Edward just needs some warm soup #Izzy hands #edward teach #jim jimenez #this season is so dark I’m honestly here for it #whump art #self sacrifice is also a trope I’m very weak for

Ghouls night out

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #Scopophobia #Don't be mean Lan Wangji - the dead girl aesthetic is a curated one. Support women's rights to look dead!#I have been waiting for this scene for ages...the ghost girl entourage is such a good look for WWX.#And by gods does the audio drama actually do something interesting with one of them.#Namely that we actually get to see WWX talk with them and learn about who they were and what they left behind.#I love necromancer characters but it's way too common for them to be like “Go! Ghost no.145!” like they're a pokemon #and not...you know...someone who had a whole life that they left behind.#I love me a necromancer who has an awareness to whose soul/body they are using. It adds a lot of flavour!#MDZS is a little hit or miss with this. I think the fans do a lot of the work with making Mo Xuanyu a bigger character.#Yi City has this in spades. Even though we don't individually get character backstories #We get many painful reminders about how these 'corpses' were people.#We also get a few lines about how WWX used whatever corpses he could get his hands on (including grandparents - Woof!)#MDZS often (but not always) likes to remind us that every sacrifice and every ghost was a person.#It is so close to nailing the landing regarding the deconstruction of the necromancer character.#Anyhow. You may have noticed the uptick in quality in the last two comics. Rule of three means next one is going to be a treat B*)#See you all very soon!

Lokius + never saying goodbye

#mobius #loki #lokius #marveledit #lokiedit #mcuedit #hope is hard!!!!#waking up thinking about comic!mobius holding out faith in loki no matter what...#him trying to downplay the possibility of ever seeing loki again #wanting him to know he gets to make his own choice about where to end up then loki reciprocating in kind #the shift from 'my friend' to simply mobius' name because at that point how can he even put into words what they've become to each other #especially not to a version he met specifically to avoid such since he'd never be able to make the sacrifice otherwise #the way they never stop thanking each other for a completely new spin on the life they'd wanted all along until those last few scenes #where mobius isn't able to thank loki in person anymore and chooses to wait until he can as his own chosen purpose 😭💖#owen wilson #tom hiddleston #marvel #owenwilsonedit #dianagifs

“…When I’m with you the world makes sense, but when we are apart I see clearly that your world is not one from which one can escape..”

Heard the “Dear Arthur” Red Dead clip and thought of my rancher Gai and outlaw Kakashi from the Cowboy AU so uhhhhh now y’all have this 🤷‍♀️

Anyways, enjoy the sad gay cowboys, they took years off my life 🙃

^^ full comic

Yeah so basically my concept was that Kakashi and Gai met each-other at a bar, got into some shenanigans (lots of stupid challenges and flirting ), and yadda yadda thy start seeing eachother on the down-low.

At first the whole Kakashi being an outlaw thing doesn’t really matter to Gai. The tales of his dangerous and illegal adventures are exciting and it’s definitely not horrifying when he comes to the Maito ranch with blood oozing out of a barely patched wound. It’s endearing that he trusts Gai enough to help stitch him up on the kitchen table.

And it’s not like Kakashi likes doing illegal activities… he just has people he needs to protect, people who he’s completely loyal to, and sometimes those people need him to back them up while they do illegal activities. 🤷‍♀️

But, you know how it goes, suddenly it starts to catch up. Suddenly the grey gets murky and someone takes it a step too far and now your boyfriend is being actively hunted by law enforcement 🤷‍♀️ Suddenly those stories become concerning, and you wonder if the next time he stumbles through your door with an injury he got god knows where will be that final nail. Suddenly you don’t want to ask how he got it.

(^^ by you I mean Gai, buuut you get the idea)

So yeah.. Gai knows full well well that Kakashi’s loyal to his crew to a fault. He knows that no matter how good life is when Kakashi’s around - how good KAKASHI’S life is when they’re together - Kakashi will never abandon his comrades…. And Gai’s whole life is on that ranch…

So now the only time Gai sees Kakashi is on the various wanted posters that circulate (though they could never quite get his eyes just right) and the only time Kakahshi sees Gai is the few times he has a nice dream (instead of a nightmare)

Yeah anyways you guys see the vision right? I don’t even have that strong of a plot idea I just get my heart ripped out every time I hear that RDR2 scene and I figured Cowboy AU KakaGai kinda fits so 🤷‍♀️

If anyone read that I will serenade you sofly 🫶🎶🎷🐛
