Pages 11-23 are mostly about three of the team attempting to break Vance out of prison. It's about as far from typical middle-of-the-road #SuperheroComics as you can get. Nicieza is really committed to this daring storyline, doubling down on where it's going. It's gripping stuff.

Weird. For me, it's a lack of breeding that makes me a bitch...
I refuse to apologize for liking hypersexualized and/or hyperfeminine characters anymore. Yes, part of the draw for me is that she's pretty and girly and that she confidently owns and expresses her sexuality. The misogynistic bros and the scolding TERFy prudes can all die mad about it.

Like, trust me she’s a really complex and interesting character, just please ignore the overflowing amount of weird fan art and the multiple official panels of her with her ass out." A reply from arachnofiend reads "If you aren't prepared to explore the depths of her characterization AND the depths of her cleavage you don't deserve her tbh [to be honest]".](https://media.mastodon.lol/media_attachments/files/109/692/010/969/986/486/original/48b8abbb6c5e3b0e.png "A screenshot of a Tumblr thread.

Jay Faerber is a really good writer. Noble Causes, Secret Identities (cancelled far too soon!), and Graveyard Shift are all great comics that held up better over time than most from their era, and I wouldn't mind seeing more of any of them.
Today I discovered the genius that is Mr Invincible - the comic book hero created by Pascal Jousselin (published 2013, translated 2021). It's so ace when you see such incredible innovation so playfully delivered.

No I don't know why I'm bothering to post hot takes about 30 year-old comics that have already been retconned out this is just how I roll
Issue #1 of Green Lantern: Emerald Dawn (1989) written by Christopher Priest (as Jim Owsley) is like several orders of magnitude better than the rest of that series written by Keith Giffen. Like no offense to Giffen but the drop-off in quality from #1 to #2 was staggering.
Pretty much my entire adolescence took place in the 1990s so a piece of my soul will always reside there
11 year-old me was literally a card-carrying member of The Official Image Comics Fan Club
I say this as if I didn't unironically enjoy the heck outta those comics back in the day and still do a little today
'90s comics superheroes were like "I am DethKill son of KillDeth and we both have topknots for some reason"
