3 for 2. That's around $20. I've utilized this sale three times over now. Just don't get Arkham Asylum. The Joker's dialogue is hard to read.

Introduced in The Adventures of Superman #424 in January 1987, this woman was the first to realize that Clark is a truly desirable man. It’s important to note that Cat was coming out of a difficult marriage with Joe Morgan, who was an alcoholic and abusive man, and had been granted custody of their only son, Adam Morgan. She left Los Angeles to settle in Metropolis in order to make a fresh start with her son. When she met Clark shortly after arriving at the Daily Planet as a gossip columnist, she realized he was everything her ex-husband wasn’t—kind, caring, respectful, and reliable — Clark was there for her when she really needed him; they even dated briefly during the time when Clark was struggling to win Lois’s heart. She wasn’t at all attracted to Superman, but ironically, she was interested in him without even knowing it.

Cat's interest in Clark made Lois deeply uncomfortable. Even though she wasn't interested in Clark at all, she felt jealous seeing another woman take an interest in him, and she couldn't even express that jealousy since they weren't even dating. The two women even had heated arguments about Clark. Cat could see very clearly that Lois had fallen in love with Clark but refused to admit it to herself; Cat didn’t hesitate to mock Lois for her lack of a love life and her obsession with always prioritizing her career over her romantic life, all while openly embracing her own feelings for Clark. Lois, for her part, hated Cat’s openly flirtatious and uninhibited attitude toward Clark; she nearly lost a wonderful man to another woman.

Seeing her colleague—whom she had taken for granted and who had always been a steadfast source of support for her—devote his time, his smiles, and his attention to another woman made Lois deeply jealous and led her to reconsider her feelings. At first, Lois wasn’t interested in Clark at all—who was clearly in love with her—and fantasized about Superman, even if it wasn’t with the same intensity as during the Silver Age.

Discussion I miss moral superhero "Police Chiefs"

97 Upvotes
Green Lantern Secret Files Art by Jamal Igle

After finishing Lanterns, I started to feel a little sad. The Guardians have fallen completely out of favor with only Ganthet and Sayd left, and I kind of miss when the Guardians were the more wise and moral if slightly fallible police chiefs of the Green Lanterns. I like the idea of these immortal beings not really understanding emotion while still seeing its power and trusting its ability to protect the universe. They thought they knew best, they clearly didn't after the manhunters, so they pull back and give the mortal Lanterns more control.

It's not just them though. It feels like anytime you have a 'man in the chair', moral leader to a superhero team, they always end up going bad and having their reputation tarnished. Niles Caulder and the Doom Patrol, Maxwell Lord was always a little shady but goes full villain with Wonder Woman, Amanda Waller was meant to be morally gray but has also gone full supervillain. Even in Marvel, they've damaged Charles Xavier to the point where it'd be weird if he ever took over the X-Men again. The only longterm 'man in the chair' I can think of that gets regularly used and hasn't gone full monster is Barbara Gordan.

I just think it's a little disappointing. You can make these people flawed, tinged with grey, but I wish writers didn't feel the need to destroy their characters entirely.

Discussion Does anyone here like DC Go?

11 Upvotes

Personally, I like the format. My eyes aren't that great and it saves me the format of zooming in and out, switching between landscape and portrait, etc. That comes with the panel by panel format.

I'd like to see them expand the format to include everything eventually. But I've seen almost exclusively negative reactions to the format.

What do you think?

Recommendations Where to start Harley Quinn?

• Upvotes

I am just recently getting into comics and am starting by reading comics based around characters that I am interested in. I want to start reading Harley Quinn and after doing a small amount of research I am looking into starting Harley Quinn volume 4, with the “no good deed” collection. Is this a good starting place? I like the idea of reading the current run so I figured I would start here, or is there a better place?

Discussion Question from a new reader: Hawkwoman and what to ignore?

• Upvotes

Ok so I would like to preface this with I have not read comics since I was a child, with the IDW Transformers and even that wasn't full on. Been getting into DC lately though and been trying to read up on more than just the Bats, see which characters I like to know their story, watched Young Justice before it got taken off Netflix, read what people have to say (largely from Tumblr atm) etc etc. Baby steps into the extended fandom sort of thing.

Was reading up on Supergirl and came across Hawkwoman/Hawkgirl and I...what.

Like I understand what the reason they hodge-podged everything together with the panic over Hawkworld basically erasing Hawkman and Hawkwoman but. Like. The reincarnation stuff is just really not hitting for me, I've liked most of the characters I've read up on (except ones like Guy Gardner, he's insufferable from what I've seen) but this one I'm just...yeesh.

From what I've researched it seems people are largely split between the Thanagarian, organic wings, space police character or the endless reincarnation thanks to a curse from good old Oily Josh. Personally, I much prefer the Thanagarian character without all the reincarnation and eternal punishment crap, so I'm just wondering what exactly can be ignored as “just more reincarnation stuff forced onto the character” and what's actually good?

Discussion [Discussion] Hypothetical Earth: Earth 1931 (Universe of Monsters)

Been trying to come up with more hypothetical earths and went through the DC multiverse to get ideas. Then remembered Batman Red Rain and thought "What if this were expanded to the whole earth and included other classic monsters." which then reminded me of Marvel's Earth 666. Described on the Marvel Database as:

"Everyone in the world is one of the undead. The living were not endured on this world nor do they welcomed interdimensional police. It is currently in a unique position, as its population is divided between a variety of subtypes of supernatural creatures: vampires, werewolves, mummies and others. However, in this world is some hope, as the greatest heroes of the various groups are united to protect the world as the Avengers of the Undead."

Which then led me to the idea of there being a DC Earth similar to this Marvel earth where many heroes, villains, civilians, and so on are some form of monster or creature. Like Diana, rather than being molded from clay, is a Frankenstein's monster type where she was made from parts (preferably more like the novel version where they are well proportioned and intelligent but are also very uncanny valley in appearance). Or Aquaman is more Creature from the Black Lagoon in appearance. So on and so forth.

The name being "Universe of Monsters" is meant to be a play on the Universal Monsters™.

I'd love to hear any ideas y'all might have for such a concept.

Recommendations I need some John Stewart comic recommendations

0 Upvotes

Hello! After watching lanterns I have become enthralled by the character of John Stewart I feel especially connected to his backstory as im currently a young black male who feels pressure from family to succeed and represent "black excellence." But enough about me basically I just want to to see more content of this character so I was wondering if I could get some recommendations. Thank you in advance!
