Other Media 2: It's Astounishing!
Discussion of comics, graphic novels, and more. Except for capes. No capes!
Please use spoiler font for new releases until after the weekend following release.
Young Justice:
I agree with your white font, ita.
Wow,
White Martians
are freaky looking. (Never read a comic that featured them.)
I'm glad it turns out
Megan's cheesy TV catch phrase
is actually a
cheesy TV catch phrase.
It's always kind of bugged me and felt out of place.
Also, nice to have it confirmed
Kid Flash
knows
Robin (and Batman's) identities
even if no one else on the team does.
Have people read
I Kill Giants
? Because they should.
Barbara Thorson could be a Buffista sprog. She even runs her own D&D games! Also, she kills giants.
Has anyone read The Promise? It's the graphic novel set after ATLA and before Korra, and apparently starts right after the end of the series.
Yep. It's pretty good, though extremely short (Part 1 of 3). Gene Yang captures the voices really well (although Aang and Katara are annoyingly cutesy and call each other "sweetie" and shit), and he sets up some nice political conflicts. Plus, more Ozai fucking with Zuko!
Community meets The Avengers. Possibly avoiding every matchup I'd have made...but cool.
In the course of image-googling "Disco Nightwing" to show Tim the awesomeness of the Disco Nightwing costume, this image (Nightwing, but NOT Disco Nightwing) came up: [link]
Tim was silent for a moment, and then said "That is an incredibly well-developed ass on that man."
Me: "Mancrush?"
Him: "...I think so."
Oh, Nightwing. Is there nothing you can't do?
I love how, in the sexploitation comic art discussion, there's an "well, and Nightwing" clause, because if he had tits, they'd be up in our faces all the time, and he's just spreading it for all the viewers.
And that's why I love Nightwing.
Young Justice:
So the young girl at the beginning of the episode whose
father Green Arrow and Artemis saved
was supposed to be
Cissie King-Jones
which explains why
she's not on the team in this universe.
Though the exploits seemed like they inspired her.
Hey, Tardis.
Apparently some folks were surprised by the "big reveal" of
Artemis' parentage
though I thought they'd made it pretty obvious, previously. Well, we hadn't known
why her mother went to jail
before.
I was kind of surprised, but I haven't been paying strict attention. Were we supposed to have already known who
her father
was? Were there hints about that? For some reason
her mother
didn't seem to be so surprising.
And, wow, the chicks on this show seem to be willing to go to lengths. Teenaged girls ain't no joke.
I still wonder why they went with the roster they went with. I'm still not over Dick being on the team. It's just...not right. Young Justice != Teen Titans. Red Arrow should not be so much bigger than he is.
