I’m sorry, but if you’re a climate change denier, anti vaxxer, racist, misogynist, ableist, right wing scum fuck: take your shit somewhere else. I’m all for an open debate, but if you prefer to believe in and impose a world view which is hurtful to the world and all creatures in it, hiding behind a “free thinker” moniker: fuck off.

Also: if you post propaganda drek from Russian, Israeli or any other fascist regime’s sock puppets, consider yourself blocked.

Sorry to be harsh regarding this, but enough is enough…

Alan Moore’s Kid Miracleman is truly terrifying. Why hadn’t anyone else approached supervillains from this particular angle? It seems obvious (once you’ve read it, of course). I mean, enormously powerful psychopaths: how could that not be terrifying? In most comic books, the supervillain wants to take over the world or humiliate his enemy or rob a bank. Kid Miracleman just wants to torture and murder on an epic scale.

This is the second time Alan Moore has given me nightmares (the first time was the invunche from Swamp Thing’s American Gothic storyline).

It hardly needs stating, but John Totleben’s artwork is, as always, sublime.
