Of course. The ceremony gets boring mighty fast, but I'm all in when stuff kicks off tomorrow.

I don't know the earlier stuff week, but this book is shit. I stopped half way through and read a non terrible book so I could finish that shit. It's awful.

It's gotta be
not-Deadpool.
Fucking terrible idea and executed awfully.

I only read a couple of issues of the previous run, didn't care for it but didn't find it offensively bad. This is offensively bad.

edit: this has not been a great week so far! I think I've read eight or nine books and only one I really loved. Kingpin was pretty good too, Batman and Green Arrow were okay enough to keep going, everything else has been super mediocre or straight-up garbage.

edit2: Oh right two books I really loved. Forgot Moon Knight.

I mean, the way they write her dialogue is so forced and cringe worthy. I'm not even talking about the content. The fucking slang and dialect and euphemisms...trash.

This Harley Quinn is supposed to be educated? She speaks like most Trump supporters I know.

I read the whole thing! I probably won't be back for #2, though. It's the same book it has been for some time. It's not a bad comic, but this type of comic routine runs thin rather quickly. The book doesn't really try to branch out and do anything different or exciting.

If it had just been that, though, I could have gotten through it. I would say...maybe 50% of the time? I can hear the cartoon voice in my head while she's talking and it's fine. The horrible opening soured me on the whole thing really fast. Not to excuse it, you're right, she's written horribly.

I just flipped through it to the end and
not-Deadpool
never goes away, so...fuck this. I'm out.

edit: this is the same team as the last book? This is a bestselling combo? I wanted to disparage DC for pooping on their meal ticket but I guess I can't.

That's the crazy part. THIS is the book that sells. People like this book and this version of Harley.

Comics suck.

I could never live in a big city. I feel claustrophobic whenever I'm there because there are concrete monstrosities towering overhead everywhere you look. Thanks a lot, Trump. I'm used to going outside and seeing nothing but open sky.

i love me some outdoors to ski in the winter or hike around in the autumn but... day to day i thrive off the claustrophobia

there's a real comfort living with 8 million other people on a tiny island. everyone is so busy doing their own thing so you just sort of fly under the radar all the time.

although it is going to be scary learning how to drive again 😐

Two pages of
sitting in a spa with Ivy making small talk.
Next couple pages is a
retelling of her origin.
Next couple is
an introduction to her entire cast which is like fifty people I don't care about and won't remember, indeed I've already forgotten almost all of them.
Then a SUPER obvious, groan-inducing
Deadpool spoof
shows up completely out of nowhere and my god I just want him to go away and never come back, but he won't go away. Does he ever go away? He's the comics equivalent of nails on a chalkboard.

yeah but dude

there's super-tame sex jokes and panel on panel of sideboob action

it's cool+progressive+empowering+sex-positive+fun or whatever

the closest thing we have to the anti-life equation is that one page from the Harley Quinn comic con special where she implies she's gonna fuck a room full of Joker cosplayers
