I made this quickly-crafted bookmark today 🦇💝...decorative tape, paper, and marker 🪄🔖😉.

This character qoute defines how my mom and I feel right now.

We're frightened FOR our county, state, & country. We are terrified FOR wildlife and Mother Nature. We are horrified FOR girls, Children, and women. We fear FOR our Californians, both born and immigrant. We are worried FOR our Indigenous Americans being mistakenly targeted by ICE.

👇

AnnCrystal But we ourselves are not frightened, we are infuriated about what is happening.

Every morning and evening we turn to our Catholic God. We relinquish to Him our anger and feel like He gifts us Hope in return.

We believe that this turns our fury into fuel.

My mom has her outlets, and Litsy has become mine.

Thank you Littens for your patience with my posts. I will always be thankful that I was met with such kindness and understanding here 😘📚💝

Batman and the Mad Monk | Matt Wagner, Rob Leigh

This is a Batman at the start of his career story.

It follows on from another story but works as a standalone.

I was surprised by this one as it had a vampire theme to it and was surprisingly violent.

It's a Batman battles a vampire cult story, and I enjoyed it a lot.

Batgirl: Silent Running | Scott Peterson
Mehso-so

I thought I'd reread this since I liked the *idea* of Cassandra Cain. I feel her Batgirl design is unsexualised and batlike in a pretty neat way, but I don't love a lot of the art in this one, and it's hard to fully follow without context.

How crazy is my obsession with Batman?

When I first watched the TV commercial for this product, I immediately considered it perfect...for a mini Bat-Signal 😂.

🤔 🔦✨🦇✨ Wonder...😜👀.

Batgirl: Year One | Chuck Dixon, Scott Beatty

Oh yes. I love the vintage feel, the sense of going back to Batgirl's orgins now, in a way that obviously plays off lore that has developed over the years, e.g. the Oracle/Cassandra references, the hint of something with Dick, the ominous whisper in references to the Joker.
The writers and artists did a great job of presenting a recognizable character with a bit more youthful hubris and pep, 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? contrasted by a more dour, demanding figure in the Batman, and a truly creepy villain in the arsonist/murderer Firefly. Killer Moth continues to flabbergast me by his unique brand of clueless chutzpah and the fact he has yet to expire though his own foolishness.
I enjoyed the balance between depicting a young woman frustrated by the limiting requirements of ideal career fields, a repeated pattern of men telling her she literally didn't
1mo
Robotswithpersonality 3/? measure up, showcased alongside a forthrightness in all things - if the young men around her are going to vague flirt, she's stating clearly 'ask me out or go away'. She's also clear with Robin when he needs to back off with the more-than-just-flirting.
Back to the vintage style I mentioned, there's some dated terms that Babara is using to refer to Black Canary, bad she is consistently acknowledging when her efforts are overshadowed by more
1mo
Robotswithpersonality 4/4 established heroes in the mix, but I'll take the positive that she's her own advocate, similar to incapacitating the purse snatcher, it's still nice to see proto-feminist messaging especially if the comic feels like it might be marketed to a younger audience. 🤷🏼‍♂️ (edited) 1mo

Another rainy Saturday so we went to the bookstore and grabbed some new books and then treated ourselves to lunch. Three books for mom, three books for the boy and five books for the girl.

I really enjoyed this series, more so than a lot of older comics I've read recently. Batman is settling into his role in Gotham when a villain known as the Reaper starts to terrorize the city. A vigilante from the past, the Reaper's return rattles Batman, as he is a violent, murderous reflection of our dark knight. Batman has to reconcile with his own self-imposed limits while also confronting Joe Chill in a fascinating side story.

TieDyeDude Some excellent art from the legendary Todd McFarlane. Also, always a sign of a good story when Dr. Leslie Tompkins is involved, IMO. 2mo
AnnCrystal Classic art 🤩🦇💫. 2mo

As the title says the events of this are a bit like origin stories for Nite Owl/Dr Manhattan. Nite Owl is a bit of a poor man's Batman. What is interesting in this volume is how he grows as a character with his interactions with Rorschach & others. The second half of this was absolutely fantastic, easily one of the best graphic novels I have read this year. Dealing with quantum realities, pocket universes, etc. There are times where you (CONT)

vivastory have to turn the book sideways/upside down (House of Leave style-minus the pages of footnotes). This was an immensely satisfying origin story on Dr. Manhattan. 2mo
RamsFan1963 I've read the Before Watchman volume with The Comedian and Rorschach, I need to get around to reading the rest of them. 2mo
vivastory @RamsFan1963 If you haven't read it, Tom King:s Rorschach is fantastic 2mo

RamsFan1963 @vivastory I've seen it at the library, but I haven't read it yet. Is it the original Rorschach or the replacement introduced in Doomsday Clock? 2mo
vivastory @RamsFan1963 I haven't read Doomsday Clock but it's definitely not the original 2mo
RamsFan1963 @vivastory I wouldn't waste my time on Doomsday Clock. It was a good idea, and could have been an interesting sequel to Watchmen, but DC blew it. There was big delays between issues, then events were happening in other DC comics that affected the plot of the miniseries. The only good thing about it was the artwork by Gary Frank. 2mo
