The Oracle Code (2020) (Manuel Preitano) - 10/10

I know the DC graphic novels have a bad rep, but I recommend this one. It was a great read and I'm really happy it was created. Here's what's great about this chair:

The Frame/Chair

It's not a stretch to say Barbara's family has access to money/resources, and this chair is made very well for a person with a spinal cord injury who will be using it full time. It is rigid, making it lighter/better for full time use. The footplate is solid and the casters are small, but not tiny, making them great for things like getting around a city or grassy patches. The push rims are close to the tires, she's got a thick cushion, and even the caster wheels branching out from the footplate is a good call. On an adult chair, the footplate would be lower - but for a pediatric chair, the footplate is higher, which means this artist had a great attention to detail!

The low back is also great - Babs still has full use of her upper body, so she needs less support, and can benefit from having her shoulders/arms freed up for stronger pushes.

The Decoration

Yes!!! She is making that chair her own. Full spoke covers like that are more expensive than most, if not all other decorations, but they have practical and decorative benefits. So often wheelchairs that are depicted in comics have no decorations. I know very few people who don't like a little something on their chair to make it their own. This was a great call.

The Attitude

She can manage! This whole novel does a great job, in my opinion, at depicting internalized ableism and the medical model of disability.

In less shitposty asks, if you read comics who are your favourite artists and writers? If not, who are your favourite fanartists and writers?

I mostly read the specific comic issues that make tumblr lose their shit which mostly means i read the shitty ones HOWEVER the entire creative team behind the connor hawke story in the 2022 pride anthology win this hands down. Thank you for your service fellow aces - mod jess

my fav fic i've read recently is Time (to Protect You) bc i love a feral dick grayson. and my fav artist goes out to our beloved @abisalli - mod shelby

my favorite fan artist is @boxonarock, i actually have a tattoo they drew for me on my hip - mod mel

I can't believe this ama is finally exposing the fact I've never read a single comic XD. I love envysparker's fics to death! - mod lucy

i personally love standalone graphic novels a lot because i don't have the patience to follow something regularly (skill issue i know), and i enjoy more of a cutesy drawing style. so because of that, i particularly enjoyed marieke nijkamp & manuel preitano's the oracle code, sarah kuhn & nicole goux's shadow of the batgirl, jennifer muro, thomas krajewski & gretel lusky's primer, and minh lê & andie tong's green lantern duology lecagy and alliance! - mod bri
