Suikune's Profile

The worst story of the bunch is definitely the first story, by Devin Grayson. The outright offensive way she wrote Damian while tacitly implying that Stonewall was bad because it was a riot, and that people shouldn't riot for their rights was... Perplexing. Don't fight for your rights if it means being violent. Civility matters more than your rights. Let's put that in a Pride anthology. You wanna talk about corporate pandering, that's the epitome of pandering to liberals.

There are a string of stories that I'd call boring more than anything. But boredom is a terrible sin. Confessions, by Stephanie Williams. A World Kept Just for Me, by Alyssa Wong. Public Display of Electromagnetism, by Greg Lockard. Special Delivery, by Travis G. Moore. Are You Ready for This?, by Danny Lore & Ivan Cohen.


Then there are stories that are good, but not standout. Think of Me, by Ro Stein & Ted Brandt. Up at Bat, by Jadzia Axelrod. Bat's in the Cradle, by Stephanie Phillips.


Then finally, there are the stories I'd genuinely recommend be read. These are legitimately well written, and what make the anthology.

The Gunshoe in Green, by Tini Howard. This was a fun, little Noir inspired story that is honestly better than Far Sector was. It takes the ridiculous concepts taken seriously in that maxiseries, and pairs them with an intentionally ridiculous Noir stylization. And it works so much better that way.

The Hunt, by Dani Fernandez. I have a little bit of a soft spot for Harley and Ivy, bred from seeing DC time and again split them up. Plus, on top of being bisexual, I'm culturally a lesbian. It's true. It's why I hate women. This is a very simple story, and totally saccharine, but it works and makes me happy.

And finally, Finding Batman, by Kevin Conroy. A ton has been said about this story already, so I can't add too much, but I find learning the personal histories of queer people to be incredibly humanizing. Especially the AIDS generation. That's what makes this story not only powerful, but also important. It is going to get more people to look at queer folk as people as well, moreso than any half-hearted story about a queer character existing around pride, which unfortunately, a lot of the blander stories could be summed up as.more

This is an extremely entertaining series. This issue is another solid example why. It's good storytelling, it's obscure and weird but, it really fits what moon knight is about. McKay is what moon knight needed after that Bemis crap.

It could be worse. It's not as bad as the previous issues. But that's the highest praise I can give it.

I've wasted so much time on this series, so might as well finish it.

How does King consistently mess up Batman? He has some amazing books but I always hate when he writes Batman. Rorschach was awesome, The Vision was amazing, Strange Adventures was decent and The Human Target appears to be going well but Killing Time and this so far are absolutely dreadful. I don't know what to rate this maybe the final issue will fix everything or maybe I'm just naïve.

I'm so on board with this series. It's just so much fun if you love comics, and I do actually love comics. Those first 10 pages by Kirkman are really great. I wonder how they'll come across to someone who hasn't read Walking Dead though.

I'm really excited for this run and I absolutely adore the punk call backs.

I wish the show was as good as this...
