“To seek vengeance and power instead of cowering when the world punishes you. That‘s what they think evil is, do they not?”

Want to read a hyper-violent, ultra vulgar male power fantasy where the protag gets taught how to have sex (properly) by Halle Berry? (I didn't.)
so-soThis epic tale boasts on the back cover of how it “spans decades” and “from street-level to far reaches of space” and “starring literally anyone…”. To me these are faults, not bonuses. A story that is too epic and sprawling, means less connection to the emotional core. It means too many characters to care about. Too many jarring changes of venue, too many plot threads, too much of everything that ultimately means… I just don‘t care about anything.
pickAs unhinged and violent and sweet and salacious as one might expect. Love any issue that provides evidence for Harley+Poison Ivy 'ship.
Sad to hear that my start at reading this series comes on the same day as the voice of Harley Quinn from the iconic Batman The Animated Series has passed away. 😔 RIP Arleen Sorkin. You remain an inspiration with one heck of a legacy.
Pretty sure Mohawk dude with narrow sunglasses and Batman shirt is a call back to The Dark Knight Returns mutants...🤔
pickI really enjoyed this. A new spin on the world of superheroes and supervillains, and a great narrator. Good use of text messages too.
pickUnbreakable meets V for Vendetta.
Vicious and fascinating and fairly feminist and inclusive.
Does not pull any punches (pun intended) in examining the hypothetical fall out of super humans, both good and villainous, among regular humans, the collateral damage and the many ways to abuse power. The super humans are still 'human' in all the ways that make things messy.

Admirable arrangement: only one of us gets to be a dumbass at any one time. 😂
It‘s a Sunday afternoon comics, tea, & biscuits situation over here. I‘m having a lot of fun with JLA: YEAR ONE. It‘s a great look at what happens between the team‘s big adventures, and I get a huge kick out of spotting characters I know from other DC comics and/or the various TV shows. (In the main, I believe Marvel‘s got way better movies and DC‘s got way better TV shows. I can‘t say I‘ve watched ‘em ALL, but I‘ve watched a lot.)
