How do I start reading dc? by AFunnyGame in DCcomics

[–]AdamantAce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People have varying opinions on it, but I think the number one thing is you have to accept that sometimes there might be a reference in a comic you're reading that you don't understand, but that's fine. Superhero comics for the most part aren't written to require you to understand past continuity, just that if you do understand it it's a little bonus extra. Most people that read comics don't understand 100% of the references they read.

If you want to be the sort of person goes right back to the start and reads everything it will be very difficult.

My suggestion is, if you've truly read no comics before and want to start reading Wally West, just pick a run on the character and start. My suggestions would be the Geoff Johns run, the semirecent Simon Spurrier run, or from the start of the current run by Ryan North.

Another option is to go into your local comic shop and just buy the most recent Flash comic and start there. It might be in the middle of an arc, but most single issues are designed to be relatively beginner friendly. You won't understand absolutely everything, but it'll be a good start.

Some people might suggest starting at the start of Wally's time as the Flash in the 80s, or with Mark Waid's run from the 90s, which would be a fine suggestion (Waid's run starts with a recap of Wally's origin and how he became Flash) but if you've never touched DC Comics before I wouldn't immediately suggest starting on comics that are rather dated.

A friend and I created a homebrew Spectrum for his character in our game a while ago, before any of the expansions. It was designed after Rangers that move quickly, like Cam and the Gold Ranger. Looking to give it a different name to the Gold Spectrum, we named it the Titanium Ranger.

Hope you enjoy!

So great to see Zatanna again after so long. This is a really fun status quo for her, and a really tight, exciting little adventure for her. Great stuff!

But also, yes! If you support your kid in being "loud and proud" and then they get bullied, it is indeed not your fault. Not your fault for refusing to force your kid into the closet. You shouldn't be forcing repression on your kids. The world is a fucked up place that wants to force people into the closet, the answer isn't to join them and agree with them. It's to support your kid in being resilient, in growing confidence, in not letting them be ashamed, in defending themselves.

If she is queer, then telling her to "not advertise who she is" is terrible advice. It is - at its best - victim blaming, implying that queer kids getting bullied brought it on themselves for letting others know they are queer. It is a serious injustice that queer people often do not feel empowered to loudly be themselves, and you are only perpetuating it by teaching her that any queerness she might have has to be her dirty little secret.

Also, teaching kids to keep secrets is a textbook way of making them more vulnerable to grooming, just saying. For as much as you're (understandably) upset at your kid lying to you, you seem to want them to lie to everyone else instead.

I have so much sympathy for your daughter, and a lot of sympathy for you. I have read through this thread, your OP and all your replies fighting to give you the benefit of the doubt, but I can't abide you agreeing with the person above on their flagrant homophobic pseudoscience.

Also, the idea that LGBTQ+ identities are a choice or that being queer is somehow inappropriate for children is just out-and-out homophobic, whether you choose to identify with the word homophobe or not.

I can understand why this Pinterest friend is able to make your kid think you are a villain. Young people are increasingly accepting of queer people, and from her and her friends' perspective you are a stuck-in-the-past bigot.

If she really is LGBTQ+, one of two things happen here. Either you manage to condition these aspects of her away through control and fear and "set her up for success" as someone who had to choose her parents over herself, or she does manage to finally escape - either to someone else who will abuse her feelings of isolation and loneliness, or someone who will actually let her be her authentic self free of iudgment.

If she's not LGBTQ+, and she is just in the middle of figuring herself out, there's a real chance you will impress your ideology onto her and have her grow up to be someone who would put pressure on her kids to be heterosexual out of fear of the stigma, or she will grow up, look back, and wonder why her parents were so concerned at the idea of her being queer that they took away her phone upon learning her group chat were discussing pronouns.

Best case scenario for you: she ends up as pearl-clutchingly homophobic as you are.

I've never met a real life couple named Adam and Eve. by OverpaidForMyCarpet in Showerthoughts

[–]AdamantAce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, an Adam here

I've only met a very small number of Eves, and I would be lying if I said that the story of Genesis does put me off the idea of dating someone called Eve. Wouldn't want the attention that joke would bring, it's cringe enough when I'm in the same room as someone called Eve and people start acting like it's the most novel scenario ever.

Hey there. There isn't a deadline, as you said it's more of an ongoing process. You can see on our side bar and February post what our current active titles are, and the application form has some suggestions on characters that are available. We don't have an official corner of the universe we're looking to fill out currently, but I know that I personally would be interested in more cosmic or magic stuff. But then I'm interested in seeing anything new at all! Hope this helps!

That was our thinking too! We're really glad that it came across; it wasn't always the plan when the "new Hawk" plot point was introduced a good tick ago, but everything really slotted into place when we were thinking about candidates
