You are making it a black and white issue. Without being insensitive or out of spite, I really think it's a work of art. I don't see male or female, I see good and evil.

Yikes.
Classic Comics are sometimes hard to endure.
I think its Stan Lees fault. He had this everybook could be the first to someone doctrine.
I meant more "this is a clusterfuck that no one in their right mind should be this worked up about". The cover's a great piece of art. It's the context that makes it look way worse than it is.
Damn, I feel like I haven't posted a list in a while.
BATGIRL #40
BATGIRL ENDGAME #1
ALEX + ADA #13

For good or ill alot of comics will take the approach that "This could be someones first comic" and thus there will often be a repeat of information like that;
. o O ( I can use such and such power to do such and such... ! )
The key is to find the right balance.

John Byrne's Superman had that "this could be someone's first comic" thing real bad. It's like he learned how to write by listening to radio plays

That is exactly how I read this Spiderman. It sounds more like a radio show than a comic book.

It was a staple in comics until 90s-2000s. Just like in the past every line of dialogue ended with an exclamation mark.

Yeah, that's one of my biggest pet peeves from a lot of older comics. You can really feel that radio show influence.
Haven't read a ton recently since I've been reading more regular books that I desperately need to take back to the library. The few more recent reads:
Blankets
For how many glowing reviews this had on Amazon I was expecting more out of this book. It was OK and the story was touching in parts but I felt like it didn't go anywhere at the ending.
Ms. Marvel Volume 1
I had already read the first four issues on MU so only the last bit of this was new to me. Still loved the full thing and eagerly can't wait for the next trade to come out. I have MU but Ms. Marvel definitely deserves to be purchased.
Fables #19-20 (Deluxe Book 3)
First two issues in the third deluxe book are pretty good so far. Can't say I expected to see
again.

Cheska. You betrayed Batwoman in her final hour? Say it ain't so
I haven't been picking it up since that issue in space. Just started to fall apart IMO.

Ah, right! My bad.
Tetrax, I congratulate you on those.
That's this week!? YESSS.

You missin' out, Cheska! It's funny because that issue was a complete one-off. They're not finishing that plotline until Annual #2, which is the final issue.
I thought issue 40 was the final issue. So is she hooking up with vampires now?

It is awesome sauce. The essay at the back is pretty good reading, too.

Erik Larsen is usually bitching about something.
I'm really enjoying Bitch Planet. It's giving me a total 2000AD vibe
Erik Larsen can get stuffed in a goddamn locker.
This is why we need female costumes that aren't skintight swimsuits.

Why even complain about Spider-Woman getting redesigned? She's a street level character so her new look is fine and her old costume was always pretty bland at best.

I like the Spider-Woman redesign. Or "Hipster Spider-Woman" as it were. Is the book good?
GrandHarrier

I do like some flamboyance to my costumes. It gets a little boring if it focuses too much on practicality.

I have no idea, Psych said it was an improvement over the first few issues. Not sure of how much of that is due to Rodriguez taking over on art duties though lol
No I agree. But in a case like Spider-Woman it's not like there was much flare to begin with.
here's a protip: that's what anime is for
He has a point about the one percent that is bitching on social media, but the rest... Oh boy... And I say this as someone who thinks that the classic costumes of characters like Carol Danvers, Jessica Drew, Barbara Gordon and Wonder Woman are way more better than their modern, more desexualized counterparts

I'm not referencing Spider Woman. I have no opinions on that particular redesign. I don't even care about sexuality. I just want awesome costumes, not something that looks like it was thrown together down at the local thrift store.
Never.
