This is about Comic Books.
Marly asked me who my top five heroes and villains from DC/Vertigo were this morning. It was hard.
I don't know.
I'm just totally hating on comic books at the moment.
I re-read The Killing Joke yesterday, and I mean, I like Alan Moore. He's clever and witty and generally just a good writer. But he's just another jerk-off who uses rape and the degradation of women as a plot device.
I get bummed out because it seems like they don't want female fans. I mean, if the kill/maim/de-power our favourite characters eventually we'll go away, right?
Eh.
Villains.
+ Lady Shiva
+ Goldilocks
+ Mad Hatter
+ Onomatopoeia
+ Black Adam
Heroes.
+ Black Canary
+ Spoiler/Robin
+ Robin/Nightwing
+ Green or Red Arrow
+ Blue Beetle or Booster Gold
Maybe change Onomatopoeia to Catman, depending on how he goes in Kevin Smith Batman arch. I'm loving Catman lately.
Or just everything Gail Simone writes, ever.
I don't know.
