I think DC have missed a trick not just making Dick bi given his sex appeal is so broad, but at the same time, I can see the small group of fans who'd kick off and make it a huge deal and can see why DC wouldnt bother. You would essentially be inviting a zombie Fredric Wertham to rise from his grave screaming "I KNEW IT!". I'd love to see this. They could even have an analogous zombie character in the book, so that Dick can speak to the reader on panel and address it in the book and have Dick call out how f***ing ridiculous that is. I now demand it. How do you start a mail in or twitter campaign DC will see? I mean, they were loving all the attention KiddieStroke was getting on Twitter around his movie, so they surely wouldnt be adverse to some positive sexual identity rather than promoting a now confirmed stone cold pedophile character

You could start the hottest, most popular mail-in or Twitter campaign right now with a ton of mainstream media exposure and giant protests in favor of this outside of whatever ram-shackled plywood shed that currently constitutes DC's corporate offices and I'm sure they'll get around to doing something about it in about a decade or so. You know, around the point where people have long since stopped giving a damn about it.

I still have no idea who thought making Deathstroke an ephepophile canon again was a good idea when it had been retconned out. It would be like confirming that regular 616 Hank Pym was a spousal abuser on par with his Ultimate counterpart. Just an ugly thing that colours the character for no reason other than someone trying to be an edgelord.

So I finally got my hands on the latest issue of Crossover and… {Spoiler}{Spoiler}It’s pretty nuts. The gang finally get into the dome and you get cameos from a tonne of Image properties from Witchblade to Savage Dragon to the zombies from The Walking Dead to even the detectives of Powers and Chew. It’s mad. Hit-Girl saves the gang from zombies, it’s a tonne of fun.
So Ava finally returns to the portal and the rest are about to leave until the characters of Irredeemable crash nearby and accidentally kill Otto and the rest have to get out before they’re harmed.
Except as it turns out, Ellie wanted to go into the portal because she is, in fact, also a comic book character stranded in the real world. So yeah. This is the most “fun ride” issue of the book so far and I’m looking forward to seeing where it goes next.

It’s not even that I prefer Dick/Starfire, which I do. I just really dislike Dick/Barbara. I think the fact there's so many great moments that see them bring out the best in one another from a rare set of writers who care about them is precisely why so many of their fans, myself included, ignore everything the more harmful writers do with them that bring out the worst in each other. We know it's all editorial B.S that nails Dick to the amber cross, which is the same reason Peter and Mary Jane fans didn't stop supporting the pair past OMD even though Marvel did everything they could to bury them. I've never seen one compelling argument for why Dick and Kory work. Not one. People have tried with me, but I've never bought a single one as convincing. Kory to me has no agency and can't define herself outside of Dick or the Titans, and when she's given the chance, all she does is whore herself out. And her 'fish out of water' approach to slice of life moments has really petered out considering how long she's been on the planet, I mean...c'mon, wise up already Kor. Babs on the other hand, doesn't need to rely on sex or a 'fish out of water' angle, she's very much in Dick's world 24/7, she has connections to the Birds of Prey, can confide in the likes of Dinah, can mentor the next generation of Bat Girls, she's a friend to everyone and isn't afraid to tell Dick off when he blunders his way through everything. She's told him to 'work at it', and she's also told him he's good for her. I'd count myself damn lucky to have that as not just a friend, but a partner. Kory and Dick? Yeah, they're the besties with benefits, and nothing else. Now Dick and Donna? That'd be a Titan pairing I could get behind, but that's the one everyone considers the 'sibling relation'. I’m not trying to change anyone’s mind. Frankly, I don’t care who people prefer Dick with. I’ll just say that I can’t agree with anything you said in your post. Personally, Barbara’s never done anything for me as a character. Dick/Kori is the relationship I grew up with in the 80’s and 90’s and I’m sticking with them.

My buddy who has (devoted partially to AEW) Youtube Channel also talks about comic books & pop culture in general. I'll drop his most recent relevant video here. He's having a very hard time of it in real life so I'm helping him out with this project to take his mind off things - His YouTube Channel

Got in the trade of Skrull Kill Krew today. Read this when it came out but sold my issues of it years back. Paid less for the trade than I paid for each issue.

Realized I'm not halfway into the year and already for close to 20 tpbs,hardcovers,ogns I have bought and not read. Most of the ones in those pics were either 2 or 3 bucks at Dirt Cheap or got off Ebay/Amazon/whatever cheap. Didn't realize the Batman hardcover was vol 2 until I had took the shrinkwrap off it.

Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight#6 Wow. That ended...oddly {Spoiler}Batman is overwhelmed by Scarecrow's back-up, he tosses many of them off of Crane's boat and into the water but takes a heavy beating, then it turns out he set up a bomb on Scarecrow's boat. It goes off and instead of checking to see how many have been injured or possibly killed in the blast, Bruce decides to go home to bed. We learn at the very beginning of the chapter from a police report filed to Gordon that Crane and some of them all survived the blast The Batman and Scooby Doo Mysteries#4 {Spoiler}The 'ghost' haunting the Batcave was a holographic projection from the trophy Bruce had taken following the closure of the previous Joker case...it also had a GPS tracer inside of it, with which the Joker can use to pinpoint the Batcave's location. Bruce takes the trophy to another altogether different cave and lures the Joker and his men into a trap. Mystery Inc makes use of some of Batman's trophies (Shaggy uses Freeze's cold gun and Daphne rides the T-Rex) to help the dynamic duo round up The Joker's gang

Read the first chapter/issue in the Punisher/Wolvie tpb in the pic i posted.
It is Angel Punisher era,with badly done manga inspired art. I know the name Pat Lee for some reason.
Kinda sucks when Punisher no longer kills criminals,he put them in a time out until the cops showed up...
Should finish this tpb tomorrow and figure I will read Vampi next.
