A Very Lobo Hanukkah
DC’s Very Merry Multiverse #1 (King, Koblish, Hi-Fi) closes on a tone-deaf note when Lobo, of all characters, is transposed as a very, very violent representative for the Jewish people in “A Very Lobo Hanukkah.”

Rai #10 (@VincentAbnett Ryp @adalhouse Sharpe) Calling this a picture-perfect closing for a volume of Rai is literally a massive understatement: Buy this book and all 9 issues before it ASAP. #Valiant #StayValiant
DetailsTalia Al Ghul: Somebody’s Daughter
Talia al Ghul is a master criminal, a lethal genius, a great love & opponent of the Batman. She has toppled empires and presidents & for a brief moment owned the Earth. How do orientalism, sexism & classism make her so powerful & so hard for readers to grapple with?
DetailsA Christmas Carol (1938 Reginald Owen): God Bless Us, Everyone!
A Christmas Carol (1938 Reginald Owen)
We do not see a sick boy feeling sorry for himself because he cannot slide on the ice, but we see a boy who is enjoying watching his brothers have fun! This is in direct contrast to Scrooge, who enjoys nothing, but has everything.

DetailsA Christmas Carol (1984 George C Scott): Honor Christmas in You heart
A Christmas Carol (1984 George C. Scott)
Scott’s Ebenezer is different from most, often portrayed as an older frail man, shrewd and humorless but without physical strength, but Scott’s very size lends to a quite different take on the character.
DetailsDark Nights: Death Metal – The Secret Origin #1: Unparalleled Universe
The Secret Origin
Dark Nights: Death Metal – The Secret Origin #1 (Snyder, Johns, et al.) feels like it’s trying to cram too much into an already-overstuffed story, & despite some strong & unexpected character beats, winds up falling victim to its own lack of necessity.
DetailsArchenemy: Cosmic Bloody
Archenemy
Archenemy mixes live action with flashbacks told in simple graphic animation. The story unfolds in such a way that we are never sure until the end if Max was really from another dimension, or if he is just a crazy schizophrenic drug addict.
DetailsA Christmas Carol (1999 Patrick Stewart): Mankind was our business!
A Christmas Carol (1999 Patrick Stewart)
I am particularly fond of Patrick Stewart’s transformation at the end. His inability to laugh at first is both humorous, joyful and a bit sad as we see a man that has not heartily laughed in so long that his body does not know how.
