Some Thoughts on Wonder Woman 1984
Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman 1984 has debuted! Buffeted by real world politics, 1980s nostalgia & a release schedule controlled by an international pandemic, I have some thoughts about it.

The Walking Dead Deluxe #5: IN LIVING COLOR
With our fifth edition of The Walking Dead Deluxe: IN LIVING COLOR we reflect on the impact of horror and appreciate the small things, like a “just a scratch” Walker bite out of Jim’s arm. @RobertKirkman @RusWooton @DaveMcCaig @TonyMoore #TWD
DetailsAvengers #40: Phoenix! The Gift That Keeps on Giving
Sadly, “Enter the Phoenix” gets off to a by-the-numbers, predictable start in Avengers #40 (Aaron, Garron, Curiel). There just isn’t enough meat on the bone to justify this story beyond stereotypical superhero punch-’em-up.

The Last 52 – War of the Multiverses #1
Dark Nights Death Metal: The Last 52 – War of the Multiverses #1 is a comic about hope, just when we need it most. It isn’t perfect, but if it doesn’t make you smile as heroes rage in defiance of certain doom, I don’t know what will. #DCComics
DetailsThe Picture of Everything Else #1: Painting the Town Red
The Picture of Everything Else #1
The Picture of Everything Else #1 (Watters, Mohan, Bidikar) is an artistic tour de force soaked in blood, booze, terror, and homoerotic longing. Ending on a chilling cliffhanger, this is certainly a book worth keeping up with.

Max Lord’s need to become great! To be the best! To impress his son! Leads down a road where the entire world is on the brink of annihilation.
DetailsDC’s Very Merry Multiverse #1: A Very Lobo Hanukkah
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?

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.
