Anyone else on the planet or this timeline wondering what or who they need to sell, to get more old guard comic stories or the freaking movie sequel?

I can appreciate Booker was drunk longer, Quynh/Noriko was trapped longer, Joe and Nicky have loved longer and Andromache has lived longer but for this mere mortal this wait is something else.

2024 don’t let me down

I like Alex Ross art as much as the next guy, but this idea for Barbara Gordon is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen.

Thank god for Greg Rucka & J.H. Williams turning an ableist nostalgia play into such a good new character, and thank god for Dennis O’Neil keeping Barbara as Oracle & fighting for Cass Cain to be a non-white Batgirl.

Edit Requests: Helena Bertinelli in "Batman/Huntress: Cry for Blood" for @misspickman

"He didn't know if he was a man who had been dreaming he was a butterfly..." "Or a butterfly dreaming he was a man. Yes, I've heard it before."

(ID under the cut.)

ID: Six animated banners with images pulled from Batman/Huntress: Cry for Blood.

1: Helena Bertinelli stands off to the side in her Huntress uniform, holding a crossbow. Cursive script beside her reads, "Helena Rosa." Graffiti text slowly appears behind it, spelling out "INFAME."

2: Helena in a sports bra and sweat pants, training. She holds a crossbow in the first frame, which turns purple for a moment. The second frame shows her throwing knives, and turns purple immediately after. The third frame is a bull's eye with arrows embedded in the center. It turns purple last.

3: Two framed portraits of Helena. The first shows her as a small child, crying. The second is her in her Huntress costume. The two portraits are facing away from each other. Dozens of candles sit in front of the frames and the flames flicker randomly and intermittently. Text appears in three scrolling boxes and reads: "You want justice served? You want vengeance taken? You want honor restored? Then you do it yourself. That's omerta."

4: A large grayscale photo of a young Helena, being held by her mother Maria. In four frames beside it, Helena practices Tai Chi before curling up on the ground hopelessly. Each frame lights up in full color before turning gray.

5: A closeup of Helena's face in front of a purple background with repeating text at low opacity that reads "HUNTRESS." Scripted text lights up white one at a time before turning black: "A killer / Family / Your other half."

/End ID.

Nightwing (1996) #65

Dick’s allowed to let a bit of unhinged rage come to the surface in a self-destructive show of violence every now and then, as a treat

Have you read the Wonder Woman Earth One series and if so what did you think of it?

tl;dr "yes, and I heavily disliked it."

The still short but slightly longer answer is that I think it showcases a fundamental misunderstanding of Wonder Woman and her mythos, is extremely racist and sexist (and also weirdly homophobic), is edgy for edginess's sake, and I felt worse for having read it.

More generally, I mourn the fact that Greg Rucka was supposed to be the one to write Wonder Woman: Earth One and I totally understand why Didio handing that assignment to Morrison instead was the final straw that made him quit DC for half a decade.

“Comics are good” factoid actually a statistical error. The average comic is mediocre to bad. Comics Greg, who lives in a cave and writes over 100 issues of compelling yuri a day is an outlier and shouldn’t be counted.
