Yep. Elementary school teachers shine a light on famous African-American historical figures like MLK, Rosa Parks, and George Washington Carver. I guess maybe they talk about Obama now, too? Can't think of any others that are discussed.

So true. I got into comics at the best possible time for Batman being my favorite hero. My second favorite hero, Spiderman, coming in at the worst possible time.

The worst? Haha no way. I agree slott has peaked with superior spidey. But that was only a year ago and before that slots work was very very good to excellent. He's just like Johns on GL or Flash kind of coasting after an epic run.

The worst was when I jumped into comics. 4 Spider-Man books, all story arcs spanned all of them so you couldn't just read one, none of the books had unique styles or themes (like batman does with its books), the clone saga was just getting started too. You had nonsense like Peter beating a pregnant MJ (and getting away with it unlike Hank Pym), peters baby being taken and never spoke of again, the wrong Osborne resurrected, the well done death of aunt may retconned for no reason, and the bs went on and on and on for years and years.

If people complain about Spidey now it's him in a rut but this is NOTHING like the 90s

Black History month is not the month you want to quote someone who is black saying the highly used in pop culture "N" word.

Every month should be Black History month, because in reality, we're all black when the lights go out.

Same here man. I recently bought Malcolm X's autobiography and no one* here knows who the guy was. They also usually have no idea who MLK was. I get that it's not part of Polish history but I think it is a superimportant part of world history, right?

*obvious exaggeration is obvious!

Comics, though!

Grayson #1 was fun. Sweet art, sexy, fast-paced. I got lost by the dialogue several times though and had to back up. A surprising amount of organization names, codenames, stuffnames.

Gotham Academy #1 was FUN. The linework and colors is just beautiful stuff. I loved the facial expressions and little gestures the characters did, like Olive moving her hands through her hair. I'm very intrigued and can't wait for the trade to hit! It's like Harry Potter but more girly and cuter and also with superhero stuff and I'm 21 now why am I reading this is there something wrong with me?

Bruce Wayne looked so animu tho.

But I said it only once! And not even in front of a mirror!

You guys keep saying that OT is a minefield. This thread is a minefield! If you're not careful you risk summoning Freeza and his animu ship girls, lik I just did. I'm so sorry.

edit: Hey Messi, I saw what you did with that gif there. Don't think no one knows.

I do. I don't even know what's going on now. In one swoop they
killed off seemingly main character and best romance
. I've been enjoying it, though.

Oh, that's right, I read some comics today.

Read a few issues of Jason Aaron's Ghost Rider. This is pretty fun comic, I gotta say. The artwork for the first arc is really good, too.

Oh, and I had some time to check out the first issue of Nextwave, too. Man, that was great. I'll read the next two issues on Monday.

This weekend I'm finally going to start Sandman... the fact that I've never read it has been hanging over my head for years and it's time to rectify that!

Kinda like Messi with Star Wars, only I'm actually going to do something about it. ;)

Is anyone still reading Fables? I just saw that #149 was recently release, which should mean there's only one more issue left, right? I'm really curious about whether it's improved since I've read it last and if the end is going to be satisfying enough to pick back up once it's finished... I stopped around issue 100 because it just wasn't the same after the Adversary arc.

Funny story. Issue #150 of Fables is gonna be so huge, it alone is gonna be the Volume 22 TPB.

No, I'm not joking.

I guess it picks up a bit and gets good-ish again.

So how is James Robinson's Starman? I really don't know much about the character, and it doesn't seem like they do anything with him. The closest thing I've read near it, is with the Star Spangled Kind in JSA.

That's kind of amazing. I mean, there must be a lot to wrap up and I like the idea of them allowing all of it to be released on a single day for maximum impact rather than splitting it up over 4+ issues/months.
