Cheshire is sentenced in Titans #30:

(I mean the woman committed genocide. I don't know why the comic is playing it off like she got caught car jacking.)

17. "Half a Man"

(Solar, Man of the Atom Vol. 1 # 24, August 1993)

RATING: 6 🌈 Pretty Rainbow Teleports out of 10

I had zero idea if what to expect going into this so I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. I know at some point youth I picked up this weird bias that if it wasn't one of the Big Two it probably wouldn't be good so I still find myself struggling to unpack that. While all the costumes in this are bordering on extremely generic, there's nothing glaringly wrong with them. I realized that this is in the middle of some grander arc, but this is the struggle of picking up 90s comics in yard sale lots and not getting the whole story.

FAVORITE: The naked staredown from Harada is one of the greatest out of context comic panels of all time

LEAST FAVORITE: I'm genuinely unsure about this "feminism is for women in the hard sciences" panel, like were they actually trying to make points about STEM discrimination against women or was it just cultural shorthand to add easy depth to the character?
