Dude just gave the word stoic a whole new meaning.

I need a comic run set in ww1 with Monty as Union Jack, then one following Brian as Union Jack with Roger in a consistent role in the comic as a prominent side character with Jacqueline making frequent appearances. Then one with Joey.

Am I getting into Zatanna now? Maybe so 👉🏽👈🏽

Having wrapped up Soule’s run of Daredevil I really wanted a change of pace, and after looking through my TBR list I figured I’d give Zatanna: Bring Down the House a shot!

I absolutely loved this. The art immediately drew me in. I’m a huge fan of Javier Rodriguez’s work. I just eat up his art every time. Mariko Tamaki’s writing in this is great, especially the humor.

I don’t know much about Zatanna, aside from seeing her in Absolute Wonder Woman and some Batman stories, but I’m so interested in her! She’s just so cool! I’m usually not into characters whose powers revolve around magic but Zatanna charmed me immediately. I’ve heard good things about Paul Dini’s Zatanna comics so that’s probably where I’ll head next to learn more about her.

Void Rivals - Volume 1

Volume 1 - Void Rivals - Spoilers - [issues 1-6] I've finally got around to reading more of Void Rivals now I've bought volume 1.

It'd be good to know a bit about Void Rivals before reading this. I'm not an avid comic reader so I trust a lot about what people like and dislike about Void Rivals. Compared to those with shelves and shelves of comics I just can't reliably compare the quality of this comic book to others and I also have a bias to liking Transformers content. So I suppose the novelty of them taking the helmets off and them turning out they look the same was still there. And didn't seem so bad to me.

The introduction of the hand droid was great. And them learning from Jetfire/environmental observation that maybe they should use incorporate their suits into the construction of their ship was a good touch.

The hand droid calling him 'friend' so quickly may be the 'moral support' program that is later mentioned in the series. But I also felt that the hand droid may potentially have a living consciousness placed in it. And with how the hand droid is switched to pilot to pilot, it really shouldn't get attached or become attached to.

Darak gets thrown around and Solila is more trained in combat than him. Now that the story has continued he has gained more personality. Darak seems innocent because he doesn't get exposed to poverty. He may be actively hidden from the worst of the conflict's repercussions. He also has a positive reputation that doesn't seem to hold up if the public look too much into it. Reputation that seemingly comes from his association to a powerful father who doesn't want a son who's a lability. Solila was trained in a hostile environment. And she fights to protect her suffering people. Solila's reputation comes from her training and warrior status. A status that is greater than Darak 'pilot' status.

Another point I'm realising is that the suits are more of an honest representation of these characters. They look the same under the suits but their personalities and origins are going to be revealed to be even greater opposites over time. There's a divide between the two. Yet in stress they are able to work together. So, it isn't a 'we look the same so let's work together situation.' But a, 'We look the same but we are two totally different people that won't be moved by each other's surface level similarities.' kind of situation.

These two 100% represent their halfs. Foreshadowing how something's going to threaten the rings and they will have to work together when something big threatens both populations.

These characters don't seem to have been treated too well in their lives. And they both may have felt a bit of relief crashing onto that planetoid. It will be interesting to know if they will talk more about their pasts in the later issues. How will they handle the isolation of the wasteland separating the two halfs of the ring? And what makes The Sacred Ring wasteland so dangerous? That's where I'm at right now in this slow paced story. And this comic seem pretty popular.

Idk and idc what the comic say, or the cartoons say, or the tv shows say. Jason Tood is only hooking up AND dating Plussize Black women. It the only logical pairing I see and I will not elaborate.

[trans-emma-frost]

I’ve been reading so much X-Men, wanting to indulge in more Emma Frost and like… I’m such a Cyclops stan now. I’ve always liked him, but daaaamn he is THE CHAD! Scott Summers deserves so much more than the image general audiences have of him. I fuckin’ love Cyclops!

[airplanelanding]

btw Clark making a bet with bruce that tim and con would think theyre in trouble if they didnt tell them why they needed to meet with them in superman/batman #7 resulting in B owing him 5$ when the first thing the boys say is "it wasn't our fault!" will never stop being funny to me idc
