Age of Revelation - When you see a page so depressing that there's only one solution

Post balancing material and go beyond it!

( Yeah it's THAT Doug and Bei page from Age of Revelation )

Reagancomics (1 of 5): Precedents

(Warning for one scene of implied sexual violence, albeit one I missed on first reading. Also, warning for a brief scene with Donald Trump.)

Comic books often tell stories about the most powerful people on Earth, so they've always had a curious relationship with the actual most powerful person on Earth: the United States president.

( This is comic BOOKS, so let's agree not to count the DOONESBURY collections, no matter how much they feel like graphic novels. )

Deadpool / Batman #1

“In Batman we’ve found someone who has even less time for Deadpool’s antics than Wolverine, but a city-wide threat from the Joker makes strange bedfellows (literally, if Deadpool had his way). It’s been a blast letting Deadpool loose in Gotham City and watching what happens.” -- Zeb Wells

( Scans under the cut... )

AWS outage

DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.

Epitaphs from the Abyss: Splinter

C-C-CAPITALISM? Nope, this is already too scary for me

One of my favourites from the first of the limited-run EC revival titles. Warning for child abuse and gore.

The New Gods #11 (2024-) is fighting with New Gods.

Not with the Nyctari, those who took Darkseid's passing as their opportunity to take Apokolips and New Genesis - but between themselves.

There's a prophesied child rooted in the same history as the Nyctari, whom some figure an intended vessel for Darkseid as he is now.

Desaad of Apokolips, with Metron's human pawn Maxwell Lord, has taken the child - Orion and Scott Free following.

( The setup's even. )

Severed #1

"When we set out to write this book, our goal was to conjure up the deep fright that you have as a kid, the kind that takes your breath away, makes your spine tingle... A primal fear. We thought of classic fairytales—the ones where you're lost in the woods, and something is out there that wants—no, needs—to devour you. And we thought... how could this be scarier? Well, what if it was rooted in reality? You'd be surprised by how many people over the years have scoured the country looking for children to consume... how many real Big Bad Wolves exist." -- Scott Snyder

The Last Days of 💖Lyjohnny💖: FANTASTIC FOUR #403-416, FANTASTIC FOUR UNPLUGGED #4

As Tom DeFalco wrapped up his Fantastic Four run, he laid a few threads to rest, some with more...fanfare than others. Kristoff, for instance, realized he sucked and had no purpose (#410).

( 'You see, sometimes people [like Doctor Doom] tell you that you're going to take over for them. And then you don't! You just straight up don't!...And now you know what being a legacy [character] is all about!' )
