Here I am looking all over the internet for the answer to my questions, and I really just needed to come here!
Does anyone know if DC comics is still abiding by the Comics Code Authority?
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
According to this, yes they are.
In 2001, Marvel Comics withdrew from the CCA in favor of their own ratings system which was seen as yet another step in the organization's decline into irrelevance. As of 2004, the CCA's stamp-shaped insignia is rarely seen on covers and is barely visible on those which it does appear. DC Comics is the only major company with some titles still sporting the CCA insignia.
Given the content of DCs mainstream titles, I doubt very many issues are logoed these days.
They certainly don't abide by the spirit of the code these days, for better or worse.

Thanks Tom. From what I understand, they only submit some of their titles for approval.

I just finished reading three Frank Miller batman books: The Dark Knight Returns, The Dark Knight Strikes Again, and Batman: Year One.
Loved TDKR and B:YO. Found DKSA extremely disturbing, and reading it was like watching a car crash. Was it well-received by the fans?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Was it well-received by the fans?
Some fan somewhere, maybe. People I've talked to are more of the "Ptui, let us never speak of it again" opinion.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I think DKSA wasn't well-liked, though IIRC, Holli likes it.

I'm glad it wasn't just me, then.

I hear it makes an excellent substitute for Charmin in a pinch.
But, other than Holli, I've never heard a positive word about DKSA. I couldn't get through the first part.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I have a friend who likes it. Have never read it myself.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
My comic book store is closing down. So much for my summer job there.
