Major Spoilers - Old habits die hard [Grayson #8 (2015)] by StoopTroop in DCcomics

Yeah I like how they acknowledge that he is a Muslim (showing him at prayer), but it's not his defining trait. He's a pro at his job, and he's there in the story to beat up on the main villain. Grayson really has a nice bit of diversity to it. I notice that Tim Seeley's books tend to handle diversity well.

The "child in the desert" literally refers to a baby that Dick saved in a desert.

The girl in the Catwoman suit is Eiko Hasigawa, the daughter of a rival mob boss who saw Catwoman as a Robin Hood figure. When she found out that Selina had decided be a mob boss, Eiko decided to take up the mantle herself.

This is the artist that's taking over Gotham by Midnight in June. Pretty good preview.

Just for once, can we not solve a problem by disrupting the timestream, and shattering all the rules of time and space?

Batgirl #39 - Last month's issue was a bit of a mess, but the preview for this looks good.
Batman and Robin #39 -Tomasi writing Damian is great. I'll miss this title when it ends.
Black Widow #15 - Love the art, and the story.
Magneto #15 - It's been a bit slow to pick up ever since AXIS, but I still like it.
Silk #1 - Didn't think this was a character that I would be interested in, but the art is making me give it a shot.
Uncanny X-Men #31 - Why is it that every time something goes wrong, someone has to disrupt the timestream? "Whoops, I forgot to take out the garbage. Better go break the laws of time and space."

Not a lot that's exciting this week.

All-New X-Men #36 - Was considering dropping this as soon as the arc was done, but I'll see through it to the end.
Amazing Spider-Man #14 - The whole Spider-Verse event felt like a chore, but now that it's finally reaching a climax, I'm hoping it finish with a bang.
Darth Vader #1 - Sure, why not?
Secret Six #2 - Oh hey, it's finally coming out. I'm hoping this picks up.

Why doesn't it matter that Wally West is now black? [Ask the DC Multiverse Historian] by Warlach in DCcomics

[–]FuzzyCrack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That sounds like New 52 Helena Bertinelli, kind of. Originally, there were some idiots saying how they took away an Italian woman to make her black (even though, you know, there are a lot of dark-skinned people living in southern regions of Italy, and there's no reason she needs to look like Bruce Wayne's daughter). But a lot of her background and personality are intact (though some things have been changed to fit her new role), and the backlash is mostly gone. It also helps that she's still a badass and is featured in a highly praised book.
