@D4hz4hn Fr. When reading pre-digital comics, I always, always prefer these scans of the physical comic rather than the crappy digital recolors, even if the quality is poor. They ruin the intended look most of the time and are incredibly harsh on the eyes on a phone or computer screen.

[Dean @DeanHaighter]

@RedLReviews The artist *and* the art suck with King. Never understood how he has shooters. I had never heard of him when I read Rebirth Batman and I dropped that shit so fast. I wasn't in comic fandom, I was just getting caught up on a few ongoings I followed before Rebirth.

[Dean @DeanHaighter]

@D4hz4hn They're great, and the cape spikes are very reminiscent of something Jones, Norm Breyfogle, Howard Porter, and a few other 90s artists did at times. Really cool to see something inspired by specific artists, rather than something generic and completely dull.

[Dean @DeanHaighter]

@fitinglasses Rather than just getting to exist as a well-rounded character and setting, Superman and his mythos is in a constant state of justifying the importance or unimportance of its various elements. It's unstable and prone to periods of overcorrecting previous overcorrections. Annoying.

[Dean @DeanHaighter]

@GunnerDobbins Do you think they may actually have Kara kill him?

[Dean @DeanHaighter]

@fitinglasses Oh 100% with Jiménez. I think there are both books more deserving of his name recognition and skill, but also that his style isn't best served on Batman, especially as *the* artist for years now.

[Dean @DeanHaighter]

@fitinglasses I don't even know if a Batman book plays to Camp's strengths. When I first saw the Next Level lineup, I 100% assumed he was going to be on Etrigan. I'm interested cuz Camp is a great writer, but I can't help but feel I'd be more excited with him on almost anything else.

When Neal Adams first proposed creating a backup Green Lantern, editor Julius Schwartz told him Guy Gardner was already filling that role.

"This is what I suggest," Adams said. "We hit him with a bus."

And so they did.

[Dean @DeanHaighter]

@FitMarshmellow I actually like the CW Supergirl concept decently well that Superman knew the Danvers and trusted them, and they were willing to take Kara in and help her.

[Dean @DeanHaighter]

@FitMarshmellow Gardner Fox JLA comes to mind for Silver Age books with tons of repetitive writing

[Dean @DeanHaighter]

@FitMarshmellow It isn't always useful, but there's a skill to reading comics that "dilly-dally" that helps you speed over the redundant info lmao. Not the stuff that serves a purpose, just the unnecessary bits. Takes a bit to build an intuitive sense, but really helps with GA and some SA comics

[Dean @DeanHaighter]

@FitMarshmellow I loved this moment in RYV. Really shows how Peter would have to evolve as a father. It's one thing to endanger him, or hell, he may even stretch it to the people who willingly align themselves with Spider-Man. His kid, though? All bets are off.

[Dean @DeanHaighter]

@fitinglasses I prefer post-Rebirth to early 2000s, but I also don't hate Zdarsky's run. It's farrrrr from great, and has some terrible stories, with Gotham War being comparable to War Games from the early 2000s in awfulness, though I'd still give it to War Games there.

[Dean @DeanHaighter]

@fitinglasses Pre-Morrison has some real bottom-of-the-barrel stories. Hush is *okay* at best, and it's a highlight of the era. Bruce is consistently pretty insufferable, even in alright stories. Gotham Knights has a few solid single issues, and Batgirl was pretty good, but that's an outlier.

[Dean @DeanHaighter]

@FitMarshmellow As someone who finds making timelines for comic characters fun, you genuinely have to create a whole new continuity for Superman because NONE OF IT WORKS, standalone and in the wider universe. It's in stark contrast to Batman and Green Lantern, who have basically never rebooted.

[Dean @DeanHaighter]

@FitMarshmellow 100%. It really, really helps sell that no one even considers that he's hiding his "true identity" beyond who raised him, and that doesn't matter because they are/should be dead. Citizens, and Lois and Jimmy, pre-ID reveal, should absolutely be calling him Kal on occasion.

[Dean @DeanHaighter]

@fitinglasses It's one of my favorite angles for Bruce and Damian. I'd much rather Damian become a doctor than the next Batman.

[Dean @DeanHaighter]

@fitinglasses That's a pretty interesting angle. He definitely doesn't need to be a billionaire. He was wealthy, but didn't really seem to have an income in his early appearances. He was just living off a trust or something. Could lean into that hard.

[The Witcher @thewitcher]

Every story has a beginning and an end, but it's the middle where the plot really thickens. 👑

15 years ago today, we stepped into the heart of Geralt’s trilogy with The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings — a tale of shifting alliances, hidden motives, and decisions that carried grave consequences.

To mark the occasion, we prepared a special illustration inspired by the game’s story. Happy anniversary, witchers! 🐺
