REVIEW: The Outlands - Child of Wrath (2023)
A One-shot comic by Tyler Edwards, Penciled, Inked and Colored by Valentin Quinones, and Lettered and Edited By Patrick Hickey Jr.
Don’t stand up. Don’t stand out.
I had the opportunity to get a sneak peek at a piece of a new multimedia initiative by an independent comic publisher called Legacy Comix recently. Their first release, The Outlands: Child of Wrath by Tyler Edwards, is a dystopian…

oh my god getting tim into the robin suit took SUCH a journey but I finally reached this point of the story. I think it's sooooooo interesting how much robin means to tim, like, robin probably means more to him than batman tbh. everytime he's down he never thinks, what would batman do? no he just imagines the past robins talking to him and somehow that gets him to willpower his way through fear toxin. what would robin do? nevermind that tim, you ARE robin!!
#mine musings#liveblogging comix#dick and post-crisis jason didn't take more than two issues to get into the robin suit#pre-crisis jason also took such a journey like tim... actually. pre-crisis jason and tim both have similar thoughts on what robin means huh#like. they're both treating it as a legacy and such#and really agonized over it#also. the way tim specifically keeps trying to control his emotions and was so proud of handling a case#without letting his painful feelings affect him#which. he WOULD think that way because he saw what happened to batman when he couldn't keep himself in check#it's interesting how tim incorporates the behaviors of other people and learns from them#tim drake

WELCOME TO THE FOURTH ANNUAL COMIX OF THE YEAR EXTRAVAGANZA!
I've grown very fond of this little tradition we've started here, and it's nice to get a chance to showcase all the books I've read and loved and could shout about from the rooftops. This year I've read 140 completed series out of a total of 474 over all completed series (as always, that's not counting single issues or current ongoings!) and I've come to expand my physical collection to 735 issues -- that's more than any previous year!
It's been a really great year, from getting to see my first article published in print and getting to write a couple dream articles for a magazine that's meant the world to me to getting to visit Graceland & Memphis with some of my best friends in the universe and then getting another two weeks with my beloved best buddy @slaapkat right here in London! I also feel like I've gotten more into the local comics scene and grown more confident as the true real fanboy I am.
The JSA's renaissance also remains a miracle to me and the definitie highlight of these past two years. Without further ado, here's this year's favourites:
Justice Society of America (2022) #8
In a November 2022 interview, Geoff Johns said: "to me, he's the most iconic character in the Justice Society of America. […] To me, Alan Scott is the main character." Right then and there, I knew we were in good hands. I have loved this series from day one and I still love it like nothing else in the world but this particular story might be the best single issue I've read this year -- it feels like coming home, it feels like the first time we've seen the real Alan Scott in so long. There's something very special about the few occasions team books have allowed a spotlight to shine on Alan alone, more so when he's found himself the heart of the story. This issue with its gorgeous art and picture-perfect characterisation feels like just the thing I've spent so long searching for.
Slam-Bang Comics (1940)
It's hard to explain how the funniest comic you've ever read is a wildly obscure Fawcett publication that lasted six issues in 1940, but that's precisely what the Diamond Jack stories in Slam-Bang Comics are to me. Diamond Jack is early absurdist comedy, Diamond Jack is a case study in what made the Golden Age sincerely and genuinely the medium's best era -- its endless room for innovation, the lawless approach of creators building a new art form from the ground up.
On the first page of his first appearance, we learn Diamond Jack was given a miraculous gem by an "old magician": this is all we ever learn of our hero. In the third panel of that same page, he dares a pair of robbers to shoot him. It only gets better from there.
Enigma (1993)
An eight-issue miniseries about an ordinary guy whose favorite 1970s obscure comic book character seemingly comes to life with all that implies and in the process of investigating this bizarre series of events with the help of the original series' writer, he also comes to terms with his sexuality as a gay man. It's the single most compelling, complex, meaningful book I've ever read. It's also the very first explicitly gay mainstream comic, and it might as well be the only one for its radical no holds barred approach to sexuality (on-screen gay sex included, a complete rarity in this era of sanitized intimacy).
A Contract with God (1978)
Widely acknowledged as the world's first graphic novel, Will Eisner's classic anthology certainly lives up to the immensity of its legacy. As the man himself writes in the introduction to the 2000 edition, "I realize I was really only working around one core concept – that the medium was an art form in itself. Unique, with a structure and gestalt all its own, this medium could deal with meaningful themes. Certainly there was more for the cartoonist working in this technique to deal with than superheroes who were preventing the destruction of Earth by supervillains."
Four stand-alone tales make up the book, all following Jewish characters living in the same New York tenement in the 1930s, all based on Eisner's childhood recollections and impressions. I remember crying, really crying, at that first story and then laughing uproariously at the next and so on. There's really no way to express just how special this book is without reading it for yourself.
Seven Miles a Second (1996)
Published posthumously, Seven Miles a Second is David Wojnarowicz's autobiographical graphic novel detailing the last years of his life before his AIDS-related death. It's urgent, angry, hard-hitting, bleak, and a sincere mandatory read for any gay person interested in our history. It made me sob like few things have. In the here and now, it's surreal to think that DC Comics had published this in the mid-1990s under its Vertigo imprint -- it's often surreal to me that we used to have genuinely daring gay comics published by one of the 'big two', and we've been left with less than a shadow of comic books' former self. Still, the few we have are some of the most significant to have ever graced the medium.
Catwoman: Selina's Big Score (2002)
This is a funny one. I'm not a library-goer but while wasting time at the library down the street early this year, I ran into this big collection of all of Darwyn Cooke's Batman stories -- they're great, they're always great because Darwyn himself was a giant of the industry, but Selina's Big Score was one I hadn't read before and it's ended up being something of a life-changing chance encounter for yours truly. Something about this little book utterly changed the way I look at Selina Kyle as a character. I'm a big crime fiction buff, there's no denying that, but it's the subtext that makes the book; the exploration of the cold, hard, mean way Selina navigates the limitations imposed by her gender and social class. It's something else, it's really something else.
Parker (2009)
And speaking of cold, hard, mean things. Darwyn Cooke's Parker is something of a package deal with the above, Selina's man friday in Big Score is named Stark and undoubtedly based on Richard Stark's Parker. That's how I got here, but I certainly never left. Months and months later, Parker's still on my mind as one of the most compelling characters I've ever encountered and one of the most beautiful, right-up-my-alley series in existence. Darwyn's four graphic novel adaptations are masterpieces in their own right and I cannot recommend them enough to anyone who's willing to listen but I'm also forever grateful that they've introduced me to my ongoing obsession with Stark's actual novels -- one of the few pieces of fiction I've been genuinely blown away by in recent times. "Rough, macho stuff but tight and exciting, too" is what a blurb on the back of one of the books says and I couldn't agree more, and I can't say I've ever found anything else so uniquely suited to all my interests.
Stargirl: The Lost Children (2022)
I'm not the biggest fan of sidekicks or original characters, or children. Yet, somehow, this series won me over in a heartbeat. Geoff Johns has a truly uncanny ability to make a new character feel like they've been here for decades; in this particular case, the so-called Lost Children mix so well with actual Golden Age characters that their introduction betrays nothing except a genuine passion for and knowledge of 1940s comics. Geoff's work has been some of the best of the modern era for a long while now but this one's really a beautiful and beautifully self-contained little story hitting some great emotional beats.
I Die at Midnight (2000)
On New Year's Eve 1999, a man decides to kill himself by swallowing too many pills after a bad breakup. Immediately afterwards, his ex decides she wants to reconcile and he's sent into a mad-dash attempt to save himself without her finding out about his impending death. Misunderstandings, frustrations, lies and hare-brained schemes ensue. It might not sound like the makings of a comedy but I Die at Midnight ranks up there with the funniest books I've ever read, I've spent this last year making my way through all of Kyle Baker's DC work and it's certainly tough to choose a favourite but there's simply no other book that captures his delightfully offbeat humour quite like this one.
Silverblade (1987)
One thing's clear: 1987 was a magical year for DC Comics. I don't think there's a single year in the industry's entire history that's produced more hits or better books. Silverblade's a special one though, it's the Sunset Boulevard of comics. If there's anything I love half as much as crime fiction, it's anything dealing with Old Hollywood, throw in a heavy dose of gaycoding and it's the book for me. I read this one very early in the year but it left a lasting impression and I've definitely come to consider it something of an all-time favorite.

Lab comix inc. AU ppu?
good question 🤔 for reference, i'm basing their characterization off of my own take on the ppu legacy cast, especially melvin. (link 1) (link 2)
basic points
probably not called "lab comix inc.", but harold and melvin still congregate at melvin's house to hang out and make comics. (library comix inc?).
instead of the sci-fi lean the cu comics has in the Base AU, the ppu version is somehow stranger than the Canon cu comics (think adventure time, tonally, where it seems surreal and random, but if you look deeper there's dark themes.)
harold and george are having what is basically a turf war for complete control of the school. while harold is pretty scrappy, george has the entire fifth grade under his command, whether by bribery or blackmail.
melvin is the Token Good Teammate. he is there as support(?) for harold, though george does put in a few remarks about how he's holding harold back.
as a result of the comic genre shift, blunder's powerset changes too. in base lc, i think i gave captain laser vision (subject to change)? maybe this version of blunder's more like an evil wizard in terms of fighting style idk.

people who. act like tims origin story is ridiculous like "🙄 get your own trauma" as if being. 3ish years old and witnessing a gruesome double murder is somehow. not traumatic lol while also ignoring that. tim as a character wasnt just making the case for there still being a robin? it was for any legacy kid sidekick character in the dcu, like, both legacy chars *and* kid sidekicks had significant pushback from a vocal chunk of comix fans at the time, on top of robin in particular... tim was a hard sell and his origin literally couldnt have been *too* special bc that would make people dislike him for overshadowing dick, like, his origin had to be specifically honoring dick as the first robin. and if tim as a character had flopped i rly think a lot of characters just wouldn't have been made. the next gen bat kids aside from maybe damian introduced to the main continuity or the rest of the core four for example. shrug emoji. if tim feels pointless now its mostly bc of mishandling. shrug emojix2. many characters with a rich history and/or a lot of potential have also been mishandled in recent years bc the corporation in charge is not a competent custodian of its IP on account of it is a corporation. shrug emojix3.
#text#dc#u dont have to like him or nything But#he is a character who was! so very shaped by the circumstances of his publication m#and who shaped the comix to follow#i dont know if id say the dcu as it is now would be unrecognizable without him lol that might be a stretch#bc the reboot was such a mess who knows. any flap of a butterflys wings could have made comix as they are now unrecognizable#but idk i jos think discarding the history in the Longform Collaborative Storytelling Genre is super goofy#and. he is so little and shaped.#meta

in comic school I had a lot of professors who were frustrated with the students for not being into R. Crumb and other similar Underground Comix type guys. But they fail to realize that the contemporary perception of Crumb is so vastly different than when they were coming up. Like yeah his work was very transgressive and he contributed a lot to the scene, but now there is far more open criticism of his violent misogyny and racism (the violent misogyny he fully admits to btw)
My intro to Crumb was the minstrel style drawings and comics about women getting raped. Why would I want to engage with that work, regardless of its historical significance? I know plenty about his work from receiving a comics history education but it's not something I'd ever really sit down and read for enjoyment because to my generation, the legacy of his work is overshadowed by the legacy of his bigotry. If the first thing you ever learned about Picasso was that he groomed and eventually married a 14 year old girl you'd probably go "yeah I don't really get the hype about Guernica" you know?

AINT IT FUN TP • cover art • Aaron Lange [Nov 2023]
In the 1970s, Peter Laughner was a founding figure in a primordial ooze of what would come to be called punk rock, in the somewhat unlikely, somewhat necessary place of Cleveland, Ohio. Bands like Pere Ubu, the Electric Eels, Rocket From the Tombs, the Dead Boys, Devo, and the Pagans all intermingled in this psychosphere; Laughner touched them all. In 1977 at the age of 24 he became punk rock’s first casualty. While his short life ended more than a half a century ago, his legacy continues to resonate. Henry Rollins and Guns N’ Roses have covered his songs, while Wilco and the Mountain Goats drop references to him in their lyrics.
Underground comix stalwart Aaron Lange makes his much-anticipated graphic novel debut with this deeply researched biography. Through extensive interviews with the people who were there, Ain’t It Fun charts the cultural, environmental, and societal factors that shaped both Laughner and the Midwestern proto-punk subculture he championed.
Ain’t it fun when you know that you’re gonna die young? “Grounded in real crime, with blazing and withering faces looking into their precious moments and looking back at what’s left, this is a mystic story of a city wrapped around the life and death of a musician whose talent, on certain nights, on certain records, was otherworldly. A sense of disbelief churns through the intricate, exploding pages. It seems a wonder there’s anyone left to tell the tale.” - Greil Marcus, author, music journalist and cultural critic.

CIRCUS SARASOTA 2023: 25 anni di successi
Circus Sarasota è lo spettacolo che ogni anno Dolly Jacobs e Pedro Reyes e la Circus Arts Conservatory realizzano, appunto, a Sarasota, città della Florida famosa per essere la capitale mondiale del circo fin dal lontano 1920 quando la famiglia Ringling realizzò qui il proprio quartier invernale.
Ogni anno i due coniugi mettono in scena uno spettacolo di respiro internazionale, con artisti provenienti dai principali circhi e Festival del mondo, uno su tutti dal Festival International du Cirque de Monte-Carlo.
Quest'anno lo show ha raggiunto il ragguardevole traguardo dei 25 anni. Auguri Circus Sarasota.
Per festeggiare l'importante traguardo è stato approntato uno spettacolo all'altezza, in scena dal 10 febbraio al 05 marzo 2023.
Tra gli altri artisti sono in pista Alan Silva con i tessuti aerei (visto domenica sera a Lo Show dei Records su canale 5), Oleg Izossimov e il nostro amico Wesley Williams con il suo incredibile e pluripremiato numero al monociclo.
IL CAST COMPLETO:
- Al “Renaldo” Calienes - clown
- Chu Chuan-Ho - diablo
- Oleg Izossimov - verticali

Con numeri nuovi ed innovativi, la produzione del Circus Sarasota del 2023 offrirà numeri a grande altezza, brividi mozzafiato, buffonate e risate a crepapelle e infine numeri che sfidano sia le aspettative che i limiti dei limiti fisici.

i don’t speak for marvel as i don’t care for marvel but something that’s sincerely disconcerting to me about the constant dismissal of 90s dc comics as being “edgy” and nothing more from professionals within the medium and fans alike is that the countless complaints sound like a genuine refusal to engage with the material at best and an echo chamber at worst. the fact of the matter is that the majority of dc’s 90s output leaned visibly towards the sentiments of indie & underground comix and can be easily categorized as alternative at least in some manner.
in fact, a not negligible number of the protagonists of the post-zero hour titles were noticeably punk, grunge, goth or otherwise moving away from the squeaky clean images of their silver age predecessors not just in aesthetics but also in the values of the subcultures they represented. the “edgy” label on a whole lot of books hides the very clear anti-authoritarian and anti-capitalist principles embedded in their text.
for example, take some of the titles most commonly dismissed as embodying everything a certain subset of comic readers seemingly hates: fate 1994/the book of fate 1997 and manhunter 1994. in both instances (and here, i’m counting fate & book as one thing since the latter is a soft reboot of the former), these books have been cited as not worthy of carrying on the legacy of their respective mantles.
yet, fate & the book of fate feature a working class protagonist living in abject poverty who’s turned to small-time crime when no other opportunity had come up for a person like him; even once jared stevens -- fate -- becomes the bearer of that iconic title, he’s resolutely distrusted by mainstream superheroes due to the way he looks and acts, arrested several times (with the implication that he’d already been intimately familiar with the process), and finds himself a wanted man despite saving the world because the justice league refuses to speak up on his behalf. the book of fate, especially, serves as a subtle commentary on social class dynamics and how despite effectively fulfilling a ‘chosen one’ role, jared would never be welcome into the superhero community at large solely because he’s unable to carry himself the “right” way (the straight, upper middle-class, sanitized way).
similarly, companion piece scare tactics 1996 has jared stevens and his best friend arnold burnsteel -- a hacker with explicitly radically left politics who’s hacked into government databases a number of times -- free several teenage ‘monsters’ (a werewolf, vampires, etc), two of whom are lgbt, from a government facility. arnold and the kids spend the rest of the series on the run. fantastical premise or not, you’d be hard-pressed to find a modern comic book published by one of the big two that has the fbi & the cia as its villains.
beyond that, we’ve got the aforementioned manhunter 1994 and the commentary on an exploitative music industry contained within. chase lawler, down-on-his-luck session guitarist, practically sells his soul to save his girlfriend and brother from a downward spiral of drugs and greedy management and a media circus that had destroyed them. within the text, the blame is squarely placed on capitalism and abusive aspects of the media industry still widely talked about and criticized today.
and these are just the most reviled titles in dc’s 90s catalogue. if one cared to read through the rest of it, it’d hard not to notice these themes cropping up again and again: the hacker files 1992 follows an anarchist collective hacking into the pentagon and canonically equates the justice league to a us military task force, green arrow 1988 #102-103 (which came out in 1995) has connor hawke going up against an obvious disney expy looking to build an amusement park on the grounds of the ashram he’d grown up in, the creeper 1997 explores psych wards as an inherently violent form of incarceration, etc etc.
this is getting long enough but it’s all to say, if your sole opinion on 90s dc is that it’s some gritty edgy nonsense with no merit then you’re a cop :/
