If evolution doesn’t win it’s nostalgia bait.

Cian Tormey is not my favorite, but Weezie finally writing for Wonder Woman after all these years is amazing even if it’s just for a few issues

Honestly I’m just glad they didn’t let Tom King go to 50

I remember they switched textbooks to "discovery-based learning" when I was taking algebra in 7th and 8th grade and I hated them, they were so confusing and no one would give a straight answer since you were supposed to "discover" it all on your own. Only later, in high school, when I did drills in more advanced classes—that used ancient textbooks—did I actually begin to intuitively understand algebra. Before then my understanding was somewhat to the test and vibes based.

I love how whenever Tom King comes up in the discourse, you get a round of “do you just hate Tom King for political reasons?” as if his work is so good as to be utterly unimpeachable as works of superhero fiction

[Carljob 🇵🇸 🇮🇪 @bornposting]

it's also really crazy because if you do hate Tom King entirely for moral reasons then you're entirely fucking justified in doing so.

[Elvis Dutan @the_snickman]

This is why I thought the railing on about “why do people focus on King’s comics when him being CIA is enough!” To be REALLY short sighted.

Because then you get takes like these.
And honestly him being CIA aside, he’s a bad writer. He’s bad at his job. That is enough.

One shots with boring artstyles are especially lame thats when they should bring out their best artists that dont work much

[Julysses @John_Graviton]

Wayne Boring is a Top 5 Superman artist and I don’t think he gets his laurels enough

[Noach @noachlive]

I adore the medium of comics with my whole heart and soul, there is nothing in this world as evocative to me

[Julysses @John_Graviton]

@THEBATMAN2028 Legit this is one of the best Batman comics ever

[BATMAN @THEBATMAN2028]

If only there was an actual comic based around these events where

- it had an original Batman villain
- the greatest anti Batman to this day
- featured Gordon at the central narrative
- held emotional weight down to a hostage
- was original

Well what you look at that

[ThelRaiser🏳️‍⚧️🦌👻 @EPM106]

don’t fucking call her that. jesus

[MOTHGLES. @wcnderfate]

man. people get really shitty when you point out that comics are still doing “1 woman on a team of all men”

[Brian Tolentino M.Ed @TolentinoTeach]

I face more ideological resistance from students today than I did 10 years ago.

Here's what I mean.

Yesterday, I had a group of 14-year-olds argue with me about capitalization.

Many of them rarely use capital letters correctly in their writing, and they genuinely believe capitalization is unnecessary, or even "dumb."

When I told them that I take points off for ignoring capitalization, they insisted it was unfair.

Ten years ago, I almost never had conversations like this.

Students might have forgotten the rules. They might have been careless. But they rarely argued that the rules themselves didn't matter.

I actually think it's somewhat embarrassing how much attribution Morrison stans give to Morrison for Damian's prominence and development when they only wrote him for less than 40 issues across seven books and six years. Tomasi and Gleason deserve a lot more credit imo.

If I'm this good at anything at age 87 I've achieved beyond my wildest dreams

[Julysses @John_Graviton]

And what if I said the same about Teen Titans and Wolfman/Pérez?

WHAT THEN

x-men fans who refuse to read Claremont's run are the funniest CB fans ever to me. like, okay, don't read the foundation of everything the franchise is built on, bro

Greta Gerwig looking at every possible route to take this and sprinting down the one marked "Ava DuVerney's A WRINKLE IN TIME" for some reason

[Wally @RetroX1985]

In the late 90s, DC came out with 4 team books that spotlighted all of its different generations (JLA, Young Justice, Titans and JSA)..What was your favorite run?
For Me? ALL OF THEMM!!
