he/they || 22 || I use Tumblr like Twitter bc idk how Tumblr works || this has basically become my comic live reaction page ‼️‼️‼️TIM DRAKE HATE PAGE‼️‼️‼️(hj)
wait posting the sbp cover made me realize I dont think i ever showed the other comic ive gotten since I've been home!! the 2 superman titles rn ones my mom got me bc they were selling them at our gas station around superman day :3 and then the absolute batman annual, foil cover detective comics, and absolute green arrow 1 r ones i got from a whatnot order 😭 I had never used it before and I didnt realize that if u won a bid it immediately took ur money so I got scared and spent the exact amount I needed to for free shipping ($8 which is an insane steal for what I got)
😛😛😛😛😛 thank god I saved a shit ton of money from my work study job so I could be unemployed and buy comics (got this on ebay bc it was the cheapest to ship bc I dont live around any comic places and the seller included a sticker!!!! dynamitescones on ebay!!)
my dad revealed he grew up watching superfriends. didnt know he knew ball like that. im slowly working up the nerve to explain The robin lineage to him
I can tell that worlds finest was the first comic series I ever read bc why are all 45 issues (that ive read) rated 5 stars LMAOOO I need to go back know that ik whats up more and see if i was just happy to be reading or if it's actually that peak
I cannot get into the titans (1999) for some reason and bc im putting that off i haven't read anything in like a week. so im gonna catch up on worlds finest (im like 10 issues behind) and I'll get back to titans another time
yall aren't dick grayson-pilling like i am, me and dick forgiving bruce for shit that should have gotten him drawn and quartered a hundred times over by now
I'm so sorry Dick Grayson but the period of time where Bruce was dead is literally peak Dick Grayson era. Dad is dead. One brother threw himself off a cliff to avoid going to therapy. The other one is having a genuine mental breakdown in europe and blowing up warehouses. There's a body double of his dead dad running around threatening to destroy the carefully constructed house of lies. He has to look after a murderous ten year old with a sword. People keep asking him about how to run a multibillion dollar company. He's trying his best even though this is literally the thing he's been most afraid of since he was ten years old. He's not good enough and everyone can tell. On top of all that he's getting sensory issues from having to wear a cape.
Man having every single bad day a person can possibly have happen to him simultaneously.
wait u guys i forgot that waking up early and getting ur stuff done is actually peak. its not even 1 yet and I have all of my daily tasks done and I'd usually be waking up at this time...maybe life is worth living after all (now i just need a job)
im suddenly getting flashbacks to meeting grant morrison for my superman class and holy shit they were so scary like the entire thing felt so unwelcoming and like they would rather be anywhere else and I felt stupid for all my questions why do I have an anxiety pit in my stomach over smth that happened months ago
OKAY so just a warning, i went into this run as a tim drake hater and i am NOT leaving it liking him any more than before so. theres that
I averaged out my actual rating from my comic geeks logs and it came out to 3.5, however, if I had to rate the entire run without basing it on the average of individual issue scores, I'd give it a flat 3. This is because i liked some of the crossover issues and those scores probably skewed the stats
I've seen that tim fans regard this run as very out of character for him, but from what I've seen like...this is repeated behavior like 😭 bro fucking sucks!!! he's a misogynistic, entitled, cocky asshole!!!
of course I'll give him grace in the beginning because he's going THROUGH it but i almost wish he was wrong about bruce just so he didn't get the satisfaction of being right bc hes such a douche.
I thought that the bruce stuff would be dragged out a lot longer than it was, and was confused on where things would be going once bruce was back, and that confusion did not leave me even as things were half-assed explained!
Idk if i just really really needed to go and read all of the adjacent comics to this to understand the core storyline, but I was so confused for a majority of this series. if it blatantly said "continued in xyz" then I'd go there to finish out the storyline, but it felt like in the grand scheme of things I was missing something. on the other hand tho, I think that was just the writing style 90% of the time.
within individual issues it felt like there were a lot of unfinished thoughts/conversations/ what have you, and things moved from place to place either really quickly, or with random unnecessary time skips.
the series even ended with tim asking himself where he'd be going next, and while usually that sort of ending really gets me (in a good, hopeful way), this time it just left me confused and with no emotional impact because....I was confused the whole time!!!
Even as someone who is not a fan of tim drake and ESPECIALLY not in this series bc all of his horrible characteristics felt like they were amplified x100, im not going to say that this series sucked ass. I will say tho, that even if I need to give it another chance to see if i leave it less confused, I will not be doing so lol even if I won't say it sucked ass, it definitely sucked in my PERSONAL opinion, and while I think it was important to read in the grand scheme of the batman mythos, I won't be diving back into it for fun, more than likely. tim is just not my guy, and thats okay!! good riddance to him and congrats on the bi rebrand and fandomization bc holy shit did that save his ass
(next read under the cut)
Next Read: The Titans (1999)
I put all the titles i wanna read and have wanted to read for a while on slips of paper and put them in a bag to draw from and I actually drew Action Bible but its literally a comic version of the Bible so it's long as hell and im not even religious I would just be doing it for "fun" but I lowk didn't wanna do that so i redrew
the second paper just said "titans '99" so if there's a different titans series from 1999 lmk!! this is all I could find from 99 on my comic site lol
and what if i said that one of the reasons (besides laziness) that im putting off reading absolute batman is because im older than him and im not used to that? what if i said that makes me feel unc? what if?
this is suddenly getting a lot of likes out of nowhere so I just wanna say that i started abs batman a couple months ago and its prob my favorite ongoing rn!! EVERYONE SHOULD READ ABSOLUTE BATMAN ITS ABSOLUTE PEAK (just ignore the fact that he was born in 2004 like I do)
first issue of superman: father of tomorrow SUCKED ASS 😭 😭 😭 I'm gonna check out the next issue but I feel like it went in such odd directions at every single opportunity. im gonna tell myself i wasn't into it bc I went in with certain expectations and it'll get better as it goes on but we'll see
