Critical Thinking: The World’s Greatest Detective vs. the Ghetto
This installment of Critical Thinking examines why the cultural inheritance of the World's Greatest Detective makes him the ideal pioneer.

"the saviors have become settlers; the iconography of protecting the innocent is rewritten as the pioneer guarding his stake... as comics attempt to set batman in the same world as his readers, the role of violence to perpetuate the state demands to be addressed"

Every company wants to blame someone else. “Oh we can’t because of stripe” “well stripe can’t because of the banks” “the banks have to deal with their funders” have you considered having a spine?
Hey @kickstarter.com : we’ve tried getting in contact multiple times about your inconsistent policies. We’ve got experts ready to help if you’d simply respond to us instead of doing this.
even though @kickstarter.com is hosting other adult projects right now, they are threatening mine again 🫠 i would love to know why my project specifically is being discriminated against!

My biggest takeaway from the last 24 hours in comics is that all of us - myself included - need to be doing more to stand with the trans community. We forget too easily when things don’t directly affect us.

Love y'all but this puts a bad taste in my mouth given that she fired Gretchen Felker-Martin for calling a nazi a nazi. Particularly one that hedged his career on dehumanizing minorities and calling witch hunts on people like Javins.
With DC putting out banger after banger after banger, editor in chief Marie Javins is the Comics Industry Person of the Year

This is the 2nd Comicsbeat article in a short time that seems to show a pretty wild disconnect from the community. The firing of Gretchen Felker-Martin was one of the biggest stories in comics this year, did they miss the message? Batman is cool but does that outweigh censorship by fascist threats?

This book is truly a lost gem! It was part of a line (quickly shut down) of indie cartoonists doing bio comics! Lambert was an early grad of CCS but I haven’t heard much from him recently?

the isolated panel of cap's disbelief being able to shed its context as the reaction of a deeply naive person and go viral for its prescience sure is something huh
Como veo que hoy se está comentando mucho por razones obvias el Daredevil 283 "The American Nightmare", de Ann Nocenti y Mark Bargley dejo por aquí las páginas completas pq todo el diálogo es mucho más profundo pq Nocenti lo deja todo muy clarito.
Toda la historia es muy recomendable.
