Wirecats, Imp-Postingさんのイラストまとめ

(His art is nice here and is suitably detailed yet also quite energetic and lively. Definitely helps push another filler story along, and his renditions of the New 52 League work, Cyborg’s prosthetic Bruce Campbell Chin notwithstanding)

Just like this pandemic, my New 52 #JusticeLeague live tweet reviews won’t end! Here’s hoping they’re more pleasant. Today’s review is issue 8, another fill-in before Jim Lee’s second and final arc.

Happy new year everyone and God Bless Jorts (and his partner Jean), whose ginger himbo cat stereotypes will inspire the mass unionization that will be our deliverance

So we left off with #GeoffJohms doing a really prolonged, awkward, and unsatisfying origin story for the New 52’s New Justice League elevated by Jim Lee’s spectacles up to a point

@JortsTheCat merchandisable imagery for anyone who wants it

If we’re being told that Wesley is the bad guy, we’re also being shown how cool and sexy Wesley is and how much fun he’s having, so it feels like we’re being shamed for reading the comic the way it’s drawn to be read

Wanted’s story assumes that you identify with Wesley and your priorities are the same as his, in that you hate people stepping on you but would happily do the same and worse if you were in charge. In this way, he’s an eerie prediction of the alt-right mindset

In the movie, Wesley joins a secret assassin cabal where they kill whoever Morgan Freeman tells them based on his magic loom. In the comic, that premise seems like non-fiction as it’s instead a bunch of super-villains secretly running the world

In typical Mark Millar dialogue style, the important words are BOLDED so you can see what’s IMPORTANT about how Wesley HATES his LIFE and BLAMES literally EVERYONE ELSE

While the new readers didn’t find much for them, but thankfully still read comics, just stuff like Walking Dead and Saga. I was following @Lazybastid and @graemem throughout this, and I think one of them said that “the New 52 did a great job bringing new fans to Image”
