A short time-lapse of the editin' process fer my "Super-Help" meme. Superheroes and Honor Guard at my linktree get a longer, narrated BTS video where I go inta my editin' techniques, includin' how I touch up a scan of a yellowed silver age page! (1/2)
Batman 127 was re-released in facsimile form this week, which gave me a reason ta read it, an' boy is it a doozy a' Silver Age fun! But seriously, why'd they just let a super-powered Alfred blunder around? Why didn't they train him? What's yer favorite classic Batman story an' why? 1/3
You must wanna do the work ta become better than ya' were. As such, the Spectre becomes a metaphor fer anyone struggling ta be a better person. Finally, Adventures of Superman: Book of El #10 continues ta deal with cosmic consequences an' the nature a' deity an' power. 23/27
JSA #21 gives us the "true" (or at least currently canon) history a' the Spectre, the vengeance a' God. 19/27
The Deadman #2 continues its rather tongue-in-cheek exploration of very heavy horror an' religious concepts, dealin' with the Hindu teachin's a' Samsara an' the wheel a' karma, the nature a' the soul an' the eternal, an' how these things are rooted in identity. 16/27
Batgirl is similarly inward-focused this week, as Cassandra Cain is trapped in her own memories an' can only escape by solvin' a murder she did not know had occurred. 11/27
well, Jim ain't decided what ta do yet. But with Savage holdin' Barbara in prison, Jim's gonna find it harder ta be a "good cop" who takes Savage down from inside. In general, Gotham is sufferin' under police brutality on an unprecedented scale, which is carried over ta Poison Ivy #46. 6/27
I wanna focus on the philosophy an' the message a' these comics, not the plots. Hey, do what ya' know, right? Let's start with Batman #11. Most a' the issue centers on the fight between Batman an' Ōjō, the mystical assassin, but what really struck me is the comic's transitional nature. 2/27
Oi Polloi wrote some good stuff. Kindness is the real punk rock, an' it's really kind ta tear down country clubs an' turn 'em inta public spaces everyone can enjoy! 1/4
As Pride month gives way to Wrath month, I'm repostin' one a' the memes I made fer Pride this year. Cuz this is important. We're here, we're queer, an' it's literally impossible ta get rid of us. Queerness is natural. It's found in every social species. What's unnatural is hate 'n fascism. 1/7
I'm not suggestin' he cheat on Babs or nothin'! I'm just sayin' ya' can't tell me Dick ain't never thought about that green little twink Beast Boy! I always get a little wary repostin' this meme. 1/6
Some things in this universe obey immutable laws a' physics. Energy can't be created or destroyed. Gravity decreases with the inverse square of the distance. An' Dick Grayson'll always be incredibly sexy. Rrowr! What comic book characters'll always be incredibly sexy ta ya'? 1/3
Toxic fans are a thing, but since 2014 an' Gamergate fake fans 'r also a thing. If they ain't got nothin' ta say other than the same talking points a' every other fake, don't trust 'em! 1/3
I'm seein' Supergirl tomorrow! Hopefully I won't meet a time-lost version of me who will inadvertently spoil it! (Art sampled from "Absolute Flash" Vol. 1 #10 by Jeff Lemire, Nick Robles, Adriano Lucas, Tom Napolitano, Ash Padilla, Andrew Marino, and Katie Kubert. Edits: Dialogue.) 1/2
Longboi, click ta read it all! There ain't no debate, poozers. Trans rights are human rights, an' phobes 'n haters will have ta go through me. Yer worthy a' love, which is good cuz I love ya' all! (Art sampled from "Injustice: Gods Among Us: Year Two" Vol. 1 #7 by Tom Taylor, Mike S.
A time lapse a' me editin' my meme, "Future Me Spoilers" from the original art a' Absolute Flash Vol. 1 #10. There's a longer behind the scenes video with commentary about my techniques an' process available fer Superhero an' Honor Guard subscribers! Go ta linktr.ee/kilowogcore ta subscribe!
Don'tcha hate when yer future self does this? I sure do. Ya' seen Supergirl yet? I'm seein' it Sunday! What's yer non-spoiler opinion? 1/2
It's got Galaxy and Hawkgirl in it, so it's still a Pride month post! This is my standard response. We ain't space cops. We're worse 'n space cops. But Green Lantern is still great, fer the same reason Batman an' Superman are great - suspension a' disbelief.
