Yup they was the problem. But obviously he's gotten much better at the writing part. He did say it wouldn't look like that anymore. Takes the same time apparently but he prefers how he draws now. Dude draws so fast on stream.

Yes, I agree with all of what you said. Certainly better than the police in the US who are so often power hungry maniacs. When I was there, however, there were quite a few stories about bullied kids seeking refuge in police stations only to be sent on their way and beaten or killed after they were forced out of the police station. Those were likely outlier cases but it gave me the impression that Japanese police were either lazy as fuck or apathetic to victims.
In comics news - I've been reading the Swamp Thing digital book (if Mark Russel writes it I'll eventually read it). It's good. It strikes me that while he still has his social critiques he's known for he's not leaning on them as heavily as he has in the past and is writing some more traditional superhero stories as well. It's not like he's dropped them altogether but they're used a bit more sparingly. I wouldn't be shocked to see him get a fairly high profile DC book when they shake up their line. Between the various anthologies, digital books, and one-offs (year of the villain, etc...) it seems like they've been grooming him for it.

Netflix has no fucking clue how to market these anime things, do they?
I think they make thumbnails of anything and everything in shows so that the algorithm can trick users into watching it because they happen to click on purple clothing 5% more than usual.

Mine shows different images. The two main characters actually. I want Noi tho.
True, but I mean that's not up to him because that's in with DC. It's one thing with his own stuff. It's another with something like that.

Yeah but by all accounts he was pretty much told he could do what he wanted to within reason multiple times. I doubt they'd say no if he took a few months away and came back with a Harleen 2 pitch
Already been out forever in Japan, nerd. Think the rest of the season has been out for a couple weeks. Kinda surprised they're this delayed bringing it west when it's an original.
Pride sales are up on CMX and I deeply recommend everyone in the mood for stories about queer dudes look into Taproot (Oni Press) and Godshaper (BOOM! Studios, and it's by Simon Spurrier)

Stories like this exist and people say Superman is unrelatable

I wonder what Superman stories those people have even read. I've always thought they're too focused on the powerset rather than the actual character. In the last few years some of the early Tomasi stuff and Up in the Sky have also been great. People that think they should relate to powers rather than situations or personality traits simply lack imagination, IMO.
I don't think its an imagination thing but an empathy thing. You don't need imagination to relate to a person very different from you, you just need empathy
I meant more in the way of being unable to imagine the character in relatable situations, but you're right that empathy is a better way of putting it.
Speaking of empathy: I know something broke Messi recently. ERA, what comics have hit you the hardest over the years. I Kill Giants is probably the one that has for me.
Is that the comic with the panel of shocked lions looking at a giraffe's head getting blown up?
Yeah. There's a lot of messed up stuff in there I've tried to block out. Great book though and I'm glad I read it.
I have that and have always meant to read it but never have. We3 was kind of a tough one so I imagine that Pride of Baghdad will be even more so. There's something about mistreatment of animals that is particularly difficult.
I'm definitely the same. We3 was rough too, for whatever reason Pride got to me more. My 2 favorite writers basically wrote nightmare stories I never want to reread but I'm glad they did.
I'll give it a shot as I'm kind of in the mood for a sad comic and it's been one I've been meaning to read since it came out (I honestly forgot about it over the last few years).

Joe Kelly 2000 Superman run: Superman gets cancer, gives birth to a son, kills a man with his buttocks, and cameo by Pikachu
Late 90s and 2000s was funny time for comics in general but Superman sure did have a time. It all started with a evil scitenctist giving Superman cancer, but not just any cancer but Kryptoian cancer enhanced by Kryptonite. He was able to beat it with some help from his super science friends, but...

It's sad how many of those episodes I've watched (all of Arrow, almost caught up on Batwoman, all of Flash, all of Legends, some of Supergirl, a bit of Black Lightning, Stargirl).
Is Constantine worth checking out?
This is definitely a chunk of it
Pretty much. Storm controls the weather and Thor is a mythological magic god and yet people love them. Superman...nah
No
Put it down
It doesn't have to be like this anymore
....no?
We3 and I Kill Giants for sure.
God no, save your sanity
All you really need to look out for are the Crossover episodes. Just watch Arrow until The Flash starts, then just make note of when the crossover episodes are. The first few seasons of all the shows are great, at least until Supergirl starts lol. Supergirl gets better as it goes, compared to the other shows.
EDIT: And Constantine is completely separate. You dont have to follow a watch order for him, unless you just really really want to lol. He didnt become an actual DC CW player until he joins the Legends.

Looks like the first actual crossover is the Season 1 opener of Flash, with the Season 3 opener of Arrow.
I really liked it. Said it got cancelled. Premiere is a rough one, but they had to change some last minute stuff because the actress that's the plot mcmuffin was supposed to be a main character and then said "nah" so changes had to be made last minute. Worked for me but it got a lot of flak. Adapts some of the early Delano Hellblazer stories. Matt Ryan is iconic now. I liked it.

I stopped watching Arrowverse shit in Arrow S4/Flash S2/Legends S1, but I remember.
manga, but In This Corner of the World got me. Not quite as hard as Punpun, but it was still very emotional
For normal comics, We3 is definitely one. I think Tillie Walden's works hit me pretty hard.
it hurts me to see you hurt yourself like this. we can get through this together.

May instead just go for the Crossovers. I am mostly just curious to see Crisis purely out of curiosity.
Also was just shocked at how massive the Arroverse actually is now. Also, is Stargirl not actually part of it?
This has made me realize I need to read I Kill Giants. I love depressing stories. I've only read the first Punpun and tbh I was expecting much worse but I guess that's later. I really liked Downfall which is the only other Asano I've read and that got me more than Punpun.
I just got Absolute Carnage. I already have Venom 1-3 but all the recommended reading lists are pretty bad from what I can see. Is there anything else from those books I should get and how should I read them? I'm not really interested in anything non Cates.

I may give it a shot then. Thanks! I feel like I've found a ton of good stuff recently through your recommendations.
In searching for In This Corner of the World I saw the cover to the film which reminded me of Grave of the Fireflies (the movie that's come closest to breaking me). Not sure I'm ready for that big a mental hit but I'll definitely keep track of it and give it a shot in the future.
