We Will Meet Again by @masterserris and @eusouomar

Same, TBH!

No problem :)

Spoilers for Wonder Woman #12 beyond this point!

timethehobo replied to your text post: I’m of the same mind as you on this issue. Thanks for reviewing it as well.

Glad to hear it, and no problem! People needed a heads up on this.

demonbirdsforever replied to your text post: I heard from Wes (Critical Thinking) that Wonder Woman was going to get the… “Batman Treatment”. I guess this is the start of that.🧐

I hadn't heard that, but it's not surprising given that Tom King wrote Batman for several years. It's clear that to some extent he's differentiating between Diana and Batman/Batfam, but here she's not as different from them as she'd probably like to believe. That could be interesting if she realizes it in an issue or two and it leads to some soul-searching, but I'm not feeling a ton of faith in that.

demonbirdsforever replied to your text post: Side thought. The Interrogation was poor. I’ve seen tv investigators do it better without laying a finger on the perp. How embarrassing.

It was. In fairness, Damian's a kid, but Diana really should have had better control of the situation and of herself.

orion-nottson replied to your text post: DC writers try not to write a frankly bizarre amount of unnecessary violence challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

And it's in that weird awkward zone in which Digger gets the shit kicked out of him but is somehow not bloody and bruised. Not that I'm jonesing to see him hurt, but realistic consequences for the violence might better drive home how brutal this was.

lfthinker replied to your text post: What I don’t understand is why Digger’s so reluctant to betray Waller. I thought a big part of his character was that he wouldn’t think twice about selling out the Suicide Squad. Why wouldn’t he jump at the chance to screw over Waller if he knows he could get away with it?

It is weird, yeah. I guess it's possible he's allowed to be free in exchange for his silence (and maybe assistance), but I can't imagine that even Digger enjoys seeing his friends (or colleagues, if we're being pessimistic about his feelings for other people) depowered, imprisoned, and enslaved. I guess it's also possible he agrees with Waller's goals, but that seems less likely because she also wants to take down low-powered everyday villains like him.

eusouomar replied to your text post: Wow I really hate all of this. The issue, I mean, not your review. Your review is spot on.

Thank you, I'm glad :) But yeah, I feel the same about the issue.

longitudinalwaveme replied to your text post: Our heroes, whom we are presumably supposed to like and root for, engaging in acts of at least borderline torture for an entire issue: definitely not why I read comics. This is like when they had Zatanna and Barry be involved with brainwashing people in Identity Crisis and its aftermath. Or how they had Ray Palmer torturing Killer Moth in that terrible Justice League: Cry for Justice miniseries. Ugh. Who wants to read about superheroes behaving like supervillains?

Both Marvel and DC (but especially DC) go through their edgy phases, and it's honestly tiresome. But it's interesting, I did a quick google of some fan reviews of the issue at other sites and none of them expressed dismay over the torture or even had a problem with the way Digger was treated. It obviously wasn't an exhaustive search and maybe there are others who are upset, but maybe it's just us Digger/villain fans who are bothered :\

longitudinalwaveme replied to your text post: And while I'm glad DC hasn't totally forgotten about Owen, but I dislike the snobby jerk entrepreneur version so much that I almost wish they had.

It's honestly surprising that they didn't, as it was just one story more than five years ago. I would have figured that someone at DC would google Owen and get the more famous version.

ammomancer replied to your text post: wait wym douchey entrepreneur, i didnt realize owen had even showed up post new 52 before this

He appeared in one previous story, which you can see here. He was very different from his pre-Flashpoint self, basically a new character with the same name.

pixie-mask replied to your text post: Our…heroes? Not just as a Boomerang fan but this isn’t enjoyable to see. Last I remember they weren’t anti-heroes. But this is my opinion on a quick look. Will …enjoy reading later.

"Hm." Beau frowned in thought, beginning his chore of polishing the carriage while the coachman unhitched the horse.

"That's not a compliment, mind you," Dustin continued. "Merely a..." Rolly whinnied and tried to grab Dustin's top hat with her teeth. With a giggle, he pushed the playful old mare's head aside. "Merely a statement." He put away the harnesses and reigns, and then went over to a crate of livery supplies and grabbed a brush. Rolly gave a happy little knicker as Dustin started on her mane.

"Iron," Beau murmured. "Unyielding, unfeeling... but..." He smirked. "Bendable when intense heat is applied."

Dustin smiled back, albeit in an uncomfortable grimace. "I wouldn't wish harm on anyone..."

...I think making Mike always part of Matt's backstory was a mistake. It would've been far more interesting and hilarious to just learn all of the shit that Matt's gotten into over the years and just adapting to the modern world.

    I completely agree.

    Listen, I am strapped into the Mike rollercoaster and have just been sitting here enjoying the ride. I love all of the implications of Mike now being real, and the opportunities this new status has provided for us to discover the details of his past, his relationships, the ups and downs of his dynamic with Matt (and Daredevil!), his future as a real member of Matt’s family and of DD continuity... There is a huge amount of potential there that has barely begun to be tapped. I’m perfectly happy-- thrilled, in fact-- with Mike’s current status quo. And I understand why it happened. It made in-character sense for him to make himself real, and I have nothing but respect for that narrative decision.

Thank you so much @eusouomar for the commission! I designed their character in the Batman Ninja universe, as a vengeful spirit/ninja from Noh theater! I had so much fun on this one!

Is it bad to say I honestly have no idea? Lmao Because it’s South Park I absolutely keep thinking it’s just a long-con on both their parts to keep the town from going bananas again/get $100 but then there are clips/scenes/entire plot lines I’m like ?????? IS THIS REAL ???????? about

Craig keeps getting shown to be actually trying to keep his friend/bf/pretend bf sane and ‘stable’, and they’re being used to show a ‘good’ relationship against Eric & Heidi’s poor/bad one that was previously shown to be sunshine and rainbows. Tweek’s got a line about how Craig just... gave him a laptop to ‘borrow’ in TFBW if you poke him during down-time before the counseling class? I’m not sayin Craig is selfish or anything but. Later when they’re walking off Craig’s got a line about how it’s THEIR laptop. + Buying Craig a guinea pig to replace Stripe3, several in-fight lines (but they’re playing with other members of the town so this could be staying in their hero roles/pretending for the con)
