you know, sometimes all we truly need is just Balor and Yana holding hands and being happy with one another

who are the two boys in your pfp?

Hoo boy!

They're Sergey Razumovsky (the redhead) and Oleg Volkov (the brunette), the two antagonists of the Russian comics by Bubble called Major Grom - they're also two of the protagonists in an on-going comic called Plague Doctor. They also play a big role in the movie "Major Doctor: Plague Doctor", and at the end of May there's gonna be another movie where they play a big role called "The Game", both are inspired by the comics but aren't a direct 1:1 reenactment of them .

Sergey is a very rich IT guy/CEO of the biggest Russian social media called Vmeste.

He also happened to be a vigilante serial killer called Plague Doctor which targeted specifically powerful bad people who do evil without repercussions (corrupt rich people and their entitled kids), and Oleg is his childhood friend who ended up as mercenary who can do anything for his friend from getting him out of prison to helping him take brutal revenge on the cop that got him in prison to begin with.

If you're interested in them I recommend watching the movie first, both of the interpretations of the characters are interesting albeit pretty different in some ways, but the movie is easier to access than the comics (it was on Netflix at some point, I'm not sure if it still is though). Also, the movie is just written better as a story and is also more politically self aware, like you shouldn't expect any criticism of the police in the first arcs of the comics/Sergey's queercoding originally came from a bigoted place. It gets so much better as other writers get involved though, nowadays pretty much everyone who's involved with the comics is either queer or an ally, it's not really out there for obvious reasons, but if you know what to look out for you'll notice many interesting details both in the later comics and the movie. Pretty much everyone agrees that they're gay.

If you're 18+ and have any more questions I can give you an invite to a discord server about the comics and the movies (I'm logged out of discord so I can't rn so send another ask), it has some of the coolest people I've met in fandom period, sadly I'm not sure if you can figure out the website without help like that if you do decide to read them, it's a whole puzzle to do that

Here's some more canon art of these two:

Batman by Natalia Zaidova

[wolvesdevour]

Igor Grom #3-5 is written by Alexey Zamskiy, translated by Tatyana Omelchenko, art by Denis Popov, pencils by Artem Bizyaev & Natalia Zaidova [#3], Ivan Ilyasov, colored by Artem Bizyaev & Maria Vasilieva [#3], Natalia Martinovich, and cover by Lada Akishina & Anastasia Kim [#3], Marina Privalova. I find that Igor Grom is different in feel to the start of Major Thunder. I do not necessarily hate it, but it took some getting used to. I did find it difficult at first, until roughly #3, because I found it very, ehhhh, dour. It is picking up a little, yet I feel its reliance is less on the main character and more on the plot. Dima may be my most favorite character currently in the series, however I like “Russian cafe AU: Ms Frizzle,” as I call her. I do not think I would stop reading it, but I feel like Igor is in a rut as a character. While I appreciate his struggle of “omg headstuffs”, I feel like its dragging. That isn’t to say that the plot is dragging, although it is a little, but rather that as a character, the plot continues on with or without him. I have seen this a couple times in fiction and it is always frustrating. It is a bit of the Batman Syndrome: the detective / hero character becomes moody and depressed, the story becomes perpetually dark, and there is no reprieve. Yet it continues on and on and on. This was the reason why I stopped reading Marvel, especially their Avengers series. Too often everyone was angry or miserable. The entire atmosphere was painful to read. I worry that Igor Grom will not learn to pick itself, or himself?, back up.  I am far from stopping this series, but these are simply my concerns )

Demonslayer Vol. 2 #5 is written by Alex Xatchett, translated by Danila Evstifeev, art by Denis Popov, pencils by Anastasia Kim, colored by Lada Akishina, and cover by Natalia Zaidova. I do really, really enjoy Tsafuran. I am thoroughly enjoying Demonslayer Vol. 2. Since the Time of the Raven, I think Demonslayer may be my favorite BUBBLE series; solid all around. I think my current “If you should start somewhere,” I would say start here.

Allies #5 is written Natalia Devova, translated Tatyana Omelchenko, art by Denis Popov, pencils by Marina Privalova, colored by Yulia Loganova, and cover by Yulia Litvinova. This is quite a switch. I do not know if these characters have shown up before, because I have not read all of Red Fury. I found the characters, however, fairly interesting. It took a bit to understand their situation, but I do not entirely dislike this direction.

Realmwalkers #5 is written by Evgeniy Fedotov & Roman Kotkov, translated by  Danila Evstifeev, art by Denis Popov & Anna Rud, colored by Anna Sidorova, and cover by Alexander Malyshev & Anastasia Troitskaya.  Similar to Demonslayer Vol 2′s #5 issue, this was a little bit of an inbetween issue. Both are good, certainly, but the story is still going, if you get my meaning. It’s not an outstanding issue, but it’s... Not bad. It’s just more of the story.

I will say, I noticed this time around some difficulties with the translation. Sometimes, issues are well translated with no English errors. For whatever reason, this round had several problems. Some are naturalistic errors--sentences that sound awkward or cumbersome, such as “Why cannot I open a portal from this place?!” versus “Why can’t I open a portal from this place!?” and other times, are grammar issues: “He’s been around here a moment ago...” versus “He was around here a moment ago...” I do not nitpick on the translations much, but I still think it’s noteworthy that it exists. My second frustration is not likely with BUBBLE at all, but rather with Comixology. The first era comics--Major Grom, Exlibrium, Friar, Demonslayer vol 1, Meteora, and Red Fury--are not publishing to Comixology. Why this is is unknown, it seems, among us fans, but so far signs point to an issue with Comixology and not BUBBLE. This is making it difficult to recommend these comics because I do not know when issues #9 will come out. This is very depressing because some of the stories are very good. Currently the only way to get further into the story is to read it in Russian, which is much more difficult for Americans.  I love era 2, but I very much want era 1 as well. :(
