sigh just saw on insta, an artist i really liked post about another artist who made a mildly "problematic" comic, and i just. im so tired man
people just being casually puritan about everything. what happened to the good old days where we accepted, hey not everything is to YOUR liking and Perfectly Healthy in fiction and just moved the FUCK ON... they're acting literally shocked this content is popular and everyone is "okay" with it. yeah. yeah they are. because it's all make believe for god's sake

Do you have any Free Family reading recs? I’ve read all of Scott Free’s solo runs except the Tom King one and I’ve read JLI and I want more of my blorbos
Unfortunately I've been procrastinating on fine tooth combing through Scott's appearances on DCU Guide so you've almost definitely read most if not all of my recs for him, and recs for Barda overlap heavily with him bc they're basically a package deal. And I have only one real rec for Shilo Norman, but on the bright side, you might not have read it?
Normally I'd wait to answer this ask until I've read some stuff I've been putting off, like Barda's Justice League appearances and Shilo's appearances in Joker's Last Laugh, but my laptop decided it hates me so that'd take forever so uh. Have some crumbs I guess.
Mister Miracle Special: On the off chance you've read Scott's solos but not this oneshot, please read it it's very good I love it.
Justice League of America (1960) #183 - 185: Now THIS one you probably haven't read! I basically read it on accident but I ended up really liking Scott and Barda's characterization in this one. It's an ensemble cast Justice League/New Gods comic, so it's not Scott and Barda focused, but well worth reading for them imo. Set pre-crisis.
Orion: Scott is a minor character in this one but the lore added to his character here is super interesting. The entire book is really good so if you've read New Gods (1971) (which I'm assuming you have, if not please at least read #7) I recommend reading all of it, but Scott appears in the following issues: #10 (Tales of the New Gods back-up story only), #12-15 (he’s not in all of these and plays a big role in just one issue, but I think reading the whole arc is pretty necessary for context; the issue he has a big role in is #15 if you do want to skip though), #16 (for like one page but it's probably best to read it), and #25.
Mister Miracle and the Source of Freedom: A Shilo Norman miniseries. A very different, but interesting, take on Shilo's character. I dislike how they used Scott and Barda in this one but it's well worth reading for Shilo, Thaddeus Brown, and Oberon.
For completion's sake, here's my Scott reading recs, here's my Barda reading recs (essentially identical to Scott's but someone very kindly added DCAU recs), here's my New Gods in general reading recs.
