Reminds me of summertime yard sales. Sure it's old stuff, but I can get into a lot of comics when they're a quarter.

speaking of MY CLOSE PERSONAL FRIEND CAMERON STEWART, this piece on Batgirl #37 says everything I wanted to in a way better way, so y'all should read that if you've given my dumbass words any sort of look

AWWWWW YEAAAAH.
Kirkman taking a dump on Alonso and Brevoort's justification for $3.99. Can't wait for the next issues, I wish they came out faster, but time is important.
i dunno that person sounds crazy and can't be trusted.

I mean. What.
Alysia was a side character... Barbara's roommate. The creative team shift happened three issues ago and Alysia has been in at least one of those issues. But the writer of this article is taking them to task for not somehow shoehorning the character into it as a prominent role? Like how? Should Alysia have stalked Barbara and moved into the same city with her and been like, "HAY BARBARA I JUST CAN'T QUIT YOU LETS BE EVERY DAY FRIENDS."
I happen to like the character and even I realize it doesn't make sense.
Hyperbole and a half, homie. All the author was trying to do is point out that this was two steps back after Gail Simone made a step forward. No one was complaining about Alysia's lessened role by itself, but the author has to bring her up because people could twist things into "but Batigirl is one of the few comics with a trans character, what more do you want?", so she has to at least point out that it was a different creative team that had utilized her and the new team seldomly has.
I do think it's unfair to write off the creators for their ignorance on trans issues... I guarantee you their intentions were good and they'll feel pretty bad about any negative reactions people are having from this issue.

Its got fantastic artwork
I liked it a whole lot and it was very cute and fun. And I was extremely disappointed in the twist of the latest issue, but my policy on that kind of problematic texts is that once is an honest mistake, while more is a conscious business decision, so I'm probably still gonna read it, because I like cute fun comics, at the end of the day.
What I wanted to put out there is that, no matter what, it's kinda fucked up. And if y'all don't get why, I'm gonna direct you to my girl Betty from Afterlife with Archie.
Incredible art, average writing.

Holy Didio. Ody-C was an absolute mess of a comic. If I hadn't seen the Wishbone episode covering The Odyssey I wouldn't have a clue what happened. I'm still not sure.

I don't think so at all. I think you're more informed of the bigger picture by knowing the Illiad and Odyssey, but the comic is totally coherent and more out-there shit like the sci-fi elements obviously need time to be expounded upon. And, if reading this makes more people read classics like The Illiad and The Odyssey, then that's an even bigger fucking victory.
In for 50.

I feel like reading some Avengers that has Spidey on its main roster. How is New Avengers (2004-2010)?
Also, I picked up the first TPB of Superior Foes today! Will read it later tonight.

Maybe you guys should celebrate Hanukkah instead, that way you can just deal out the gifts over the course of a week.

Well, see... The angel there.... that represents "The Batman". And the lizard with the clown makeup is intended to be the Joker. Therefore we can infer that the intention of the piece is to show Batman about to smite the evil that the Joker brings to Gotham.
I'm kidding.

I think they just can't use it as a book title.
Ackins and Bunn take over Moon Knight starting with #13. I dug Magneto, don't care about Sinestro and think Lobo is the goddamn pits. BUT HEY, AT LEAST HE'S NOT A GROSS ASSHOLE.
No they can, it's Marvel who have to keep using the name or else they lose the trademark.

For any of you NorCal folks, Sacramento's comic convention, Sac-Con, is this Sunday at the Scottish Rite Center, next to Sacramento State University. Some of the guests this time around include Mike Grell, Kelley Jones, and WWE's Lita! Come by the Big Brother Comics booth for a free hug from me... or a handshake if you're creepy.

I think she's writing better here because it deals with an issue she genuinely cares about. She's not just telling a story.

Yeah, I don't think I can go back. It was just ugh.... The art was interesting, but the text. THE TEXT.
I didn't get that impression either. While I love the art style, this run seems very [too] heavy on the fabulous.
Her Captain Marvel is great at character building. The stories have been relatively low-key and not really the important part. Although her space adventures have some nice scope to the political comedy.
