Chapter Three ONE LAST STOP - PARADISE ISLAND Another recent buy was "Fury", Volume 3 of Tom King's Wonder Woman turn. He to my mind does no wrong. This is the first time I sold off a piece of TK's, starring my starter superheroine sensation. I'll say this delicately - I find Princess Diana of Themiscryra boring as snot now. Sure the tale around her was just dandy, better than most, but it wasn't due to an enjoyable or fresh female character. Before I was locked away I l

Chapter One Last week the 2 two titles I snared in an unwinnable crusade of catch-up from 11 flat behind bars had a common thread - those uncommon threads worn by female comic characters. "Catwoman: Lonely City" and "Hawkeye: My Life As A Weapon" devoted thought and imagination to what some gals got on, and me having a discernible (read: homo) eye and devotion to sequential art, this subject eats up an embarrassment of my psychological topography. Maybe you read her

October 8th, 2026 BETTER LATE THAN EVEN LATER: From behind the Ultimate Firewall®, a lot falls out the cracks...it'd still be criminal not to weigh in on a 4 year-old trade I only landed today and learned about 2 weeks back. Luckily I have better resources for recent releases, still, if I catch something this sensational I'm gonna share... In 2026 unreservedly I'd call Cliff Chiang my favorite working creator in comics. For some span, I've been spellbound by his spa

September 14th, 2026 "My little cousin'll murder me if something happens to this" claimed the(n) fat little poser writing this about an issue of the New Teen Titans comic clearly his, scapegoating a now deceased (RIP, K.J.!) then-6 relation. Back in 1982 for a middle-scholar not trying to look any more tragic than a 12 year-old whose dad ate a gun for Easter supper, being over 8 and still doing superheroes was maybe worse. "You're afraid of your little cousin?" that awfu

August 23rd, 2026 Months back here I praised Mark Waid's timeless writing on "Kingdom Come" before garroting it on "Champions" then especially "Captain America: Home Of the Brave", his socially irresponsible propaganda pamphlet. Alex Ross's detailed Norman Rockwell Ubermenschen-dystopian-blitzkrieg clusterfuck (I hope y'all know compliments when you read 'em) overshadowed a clearheaded and ingenious taut political thriller with roots set in 1938 wrapping sometime that sm

August 18th, 2026 Being a Big House comic nerd bites sometimes. Making discoveries behind the Ultimate Firewall® frustrates from me wondering what's been discussed, dissected, poked, and prodded past it. Messaging around two years back, my home-girl Nicole caught up talking a Batman story with our Dark Knight hitched to Selina Kyle with their grownup kid investigating Joker's murder written by some cat named Tom King. This longtime chum and I only chatted a couple times

August 6th, 2025 Wonder Woman can be difficult to love because like a lot of amazing things she's gotta be shared with people. Feminists and sex-starved wolves wrestle to control Princess Diana da First. Wild enough her builders were both. Billy Marston was our early century "Dr. Fill". Totally a vintage pop-psychologist, S+M horn-dog, polygraph innovator, plus creator of child's material aimed at little girls. Cramming bondage into as much panel-age as he and artist H.G
