"The only thing that can be done now is self reflection. Case closed."
star of david on the window is suspect but merely having a jewish jewelry store ehhhh, the history is there you've just gotta walk a fine line portraying it because a proliferation of jews in any industry is almost assuredly due to antisemitism. banking, hollywood, comics, etc. it's the combination of everything on the page that makes it especially egregious. and that it's joe bennett
I can't believe he put "jewery." He must think he's so clever.
You're not finding a jewelry store with a big ass Star of David in the window. Come on now.
Even actual Judaica stores, which are literally for the purpose of Jewish gifts, don't go that far. It's comical.
that's why I said the star of david was suspect! was really just saying that jews in jewelry is A Thing in regards to posts saying a jewish owned jewelry store was part of the issue. it was the portrayal with the star and the misspelling which I ain't buying for a second. I'm a jeweler, I've misspelled different variations of that word all the time. but the "l" has to go somewhere and there is none
Ah, I gotcha.
And now we know how Phan pays for his omnis.
I might have bought that it was a mistake and accepted the apology if not for Bennet being the one doing it
With him though, no chance he wasn't trying to pull a sneaky. I understand if he has already been contracted for the rest of the issues but I really hope he doesn't get more work

it's like, people can misspell mississippi but there's gonna be some S's and some P's in there in some kind of semi logical sequence! jewery????

He does commissions now for people who don't care about what he believes in for way less money than he used to charge. Not for me mind you.
The second I noticed it was spelled "Cronemberg" I knew he was going to use that as cover. Like, if I misspell both, it'll obviously just be a mistake, no one can get mad!
Like, it's a three strikes you're out thing here - benefit of the doubt was gone like a year ago. But I doubt Marvel has any intention of making a public thing of it, and we'll be lucky if they just don't hire him again in the future. But like they still back John Byrne and stuff so who knows.

Polygon on the Yara Flor hype train
www.polygon.com
Make way for Yara Flor, the new Wonder Woman
DC’s new star will soon lead her own book: Wonder Girl
www.polygon.com
I mean, not really? She's still going to be Wonder Woman. Yara Flor is just replacing that jobber Cassie Sandsmark.
I really enjoyed Yara Flor's character in the Wonder Woman film, but didn't understand why they replaced her with some Diana lady in the godawful sequel.
I wasn't really being serious, but Diana is pretty much gone for the time being. She's going to be doing stuff separated from everything else with Yara and Hippolyta filling her role.

She's still the main character of her own comic.
Green Arrow and Aquaman dont even have their own comics yet.
Yeah, she's still around, but she's going to be doing her own thing for now.
I was making a joke about the title of that polygon article and y'all are taking it too seriously lol

I mean I said this before.
I haven't read the most recent week, but she's a really cool character and the first issue was pretty dope.
Love Zub getting his hands on the kids again (I meant writing!)
Miles is inspired by Falcon for sure.
No idea about Kamala and I know Sam is super obvious, but I can't think of it.
If we're talking Rebirth era (2016-2020), the breakout characters are:
The Batman Who Laughs
Punchline
Jon Kent
Silencer
That's really it. I would say from this past era the closest to pop next are Jo Mullein (she'll be in the main GL book post-Future State), Naomi (has been in all of Bendis' DC books and this includes the main Justice League book post-Future State), and Crush (Future State Teen Titans and post-Future State Teen Titans Academy).
Already with Future State (2021- )
Yara Flor
Possibly Flatline. I'm surprised you don't hear any love for Jace/Tim Fox.
Oh he straight up copped to it when he got called out. Went "yup fuck them Jews." Right piece of trash he is.
PREACH
Nobody talk shit about our girl
To be fair I don't think Garth has many fans to begin with
Miles is Falcon and Nighthawk's partner after Sam apparently died. He's a Robin(I'm guessing Tim) expy
Kamala is Girl Power, who is a Cassie expy, but connected to Power Princess
Sam is Kid Spectrum and seems to be a Wally expy, but tied to Doctor Spectrum to keep the cosmic aspect
I haven't heard about Silencer is a long time, though she was the most successful of that mass of heroes. (Sideways might be the other?)
Actually, I think Crush might be doing better than Naomi, but it's hard to read because searching "DC crush" brings up some other results at times.
The problem with Tim Fox is two-fold. One, I've only had like one issue, and at the moment he's just Batman. Two, you already have a young Bathero in the Fox family, and I worry that Fox Batman will minimize Batwing.
Sounds super cool. Can't wait.
Silencer and Sideways were the two longest running, but Sideways only showed up in one book outside of his own ongoing I think and that was Young Justice for that arc that Bendis just brought in a shit ton of young heroes
Silencer popped up in multiple other books I believe (such as Nightwing for sure), plus showed up in Arrow.
The Fox family as a whole is getting a lot more focus in Tynion's Batman run post-FS as well, so we'll see how it goes.
Ain't that the truth.
I mean I don't care about Garth either, but I'm a filthy casual whose first intro to the legacies was the Young Justice cartoon. Kaldur is my guy.
I think part of the reason you don't hear much about Jace is so far we don't really know what the long term plans for him are. Is he going to wind up being co-Batman or will they make him take on another mantle? And also he's up against a bunch of other Batfamily members who are all fighting for attention, most of whom have much larger fanbases.

I really wish Sideways would get another chance. Maybe the series wasn't so great, but was some serious potential for the character. I guess he was in Young Justice through, but I haven't gotten to that part.
Did that Immortal Hulk scene take place in New York City? There are a lot of jewish-owned jewelry businesses there, especially in the "Diamond District", but they certainly don't have the Star of David plastered on their windows or a name like "Jewery." That's pretty blatant and unnecessary and just plain mean (and racist obviously).
