The latest Hellboy one-shot is about Hellboy going to Mexico and fighting a demon-bat luchadore.
And is drawn by MOTHERFUCKING RICHARD CORBEN.
Haven't been to the comic shop yet this week (still working my way through my FCBD stack...and the shitload of trades I bought at 20% off), but that is at the top of my list. Followed by Batman and Robin and Allred and some writer's iZombie.
Chris Sims discusses the racist implications of bringing back the Silver Age.
It's a great thread but what's shocking about it is that nobody seems to have brought this up before. I mean, it's incredibly fucking obvious to me.
Pleasantly surprising: nobody is arguing with him about it; all the replies are positive.
I have a few posts in there myself. I bring up my usual point about how, while Batwoman is largely a positive portrayal of a lesbian character, unintentional stereotyping DOES crop up, in that of the two other lesbians I can think of in the DCU, one is her ex and the other just moved to Gotham to be her love interest.
Speaking of her ex, when someone acknowledges "Well, I WOULD like to do away with Montoya and bring Vic back as the Question," I respond that that's kind of exactly the point -- you don't like Renee, I don't like Kyle, somebody doesn't like Jaime, and pretty soon EVERYBODY has a minority legacy character they'd rather roll back to the version they liked better, which is exactly what's happening.
Also, I'm not the only person in the thread to point out that Barry and Hal are legacies themselves.
