Welcome to Litsy!

The title ‘YEAR ONE‘ carries a lot of baggage. It must be a bare-bones reimagining of a hero‘s origin story, told with gritty realism. It must be serious and mature. This feels like a trap, a recipe for a maudlin, no fun tale. But in the hands of this creative team, it is a success. The familiar story is rendered in a tense and pulpy fashion, making every moment feel highly consequential. Recommended!

I hope everyone who celebrates had a Happy Batman Day yesterday!

There are 2 malevolent Jasons in this book #ThatsComicsBaby

“You lost?” the man asked. He had a zillion wrinkles, and he was wearing a hat that would suit an old-fashioned detective. He perched on a stool beside the stairs out of the subway station, ready to launch into a guitar solo.

Thank You @catsandbooks for #ShowAndTellTuesday and for the tag 🥳🎨💝.

Made this tonight, from upcycled materials.

Saved the foil seal from baking powder and transformed it into a Batman bookmark 🦇🔖📚 by cutting out design, using double-sided tape to attach to a drawing I doodled, and attaching a string that I had saved from a previous project.

These make good ornaments. Just be sure to be cautious in case the foil is sharp.

☺️🎨🦇💝.

I combined Batman with one of my favorite sayings:

“Hope Is Like A Seed, & A Seed Must First Be Planted In Darkness“ -Unknown

To create my Haiku:

A Darkness Swept World
A Rage Born From Injustice
Yet Hope Is A Seed

I remember the moon.
A cold and bloated orb, it watches with indifference as we pass below.
I remember my parents smiling—recalling some incident of our evening in town. They are so happy.
How quickly that can change, eh?
Something happens … the coach stops abruptly.

This brutal, dystopia story follows Wonder Woman after she wakes from a cryogenic sleep to a barren Earth. As she tries to put together the pieces of her memory, she struggles with her torn allegiance to humans and her sisters. Great story well written, with stunning art that reminds me of Paul Pope.

We don‘t care we look like a mess. It was raining the majority of the time we were leaving Tucson and we had 3 bags of books with one umbrella. ☔️ Top priority was not getting the books wet with three trips by ourselves to ensure that mission was accomplished! #WDNCW @dabbe
