I figured it would be nice to get a thread up for questions and comments that people may think don't deserve their own thread. - What are you reading? - What did you recently read that was good? - What did you recently read that was bad? - Do you have recommendations? I just got done with Walking Dead (I know) and I couldn't help but enjoy the preview of Murder Falcon in the back of an issue. It's a story about a guy who gets the power to summon a giant muscly falcon with the power of playing metal. It's surprisingly heartfelt and bittersweet and it only runs for 8 issues so you can knock it out in a day if you really want to. I also really like the new Ultimate Spider-Man stuff they're doing. It's nice to see Peter happy but I can't shake the feeling that they're gonna ruin his life very soon. Honestly I'm happy when Marble does anything that isn't the same thing they've been doing for 30 years. Check out Ultimate X-Men as well if you like capeshit type stuff.

Miller: I was told Batman could never fire a gun. I was told by the editor with absolute conviction. So, I came up with an excuse for him to fire a rifle, even though it was just a grappling hook into the side of a building, but it was just to get that picture of him holding it. I don't like these absolute dicta. Snyder:Well, it's cool because if you can create a scenario where Batman has to shoot a gun and someone says, "Well, Batman can't shoot a gun." And you're like, "Well, what should he do in this scenario then?" And then if someone says, "Well, don't put him in that scenario." I'm like, "Well, that's a weak character." You can't have a character where we're modifying this scenario because he can't exist in it. That's not realistic. Now we're just creating scenarios that his morality can work inside of, rather than the other way around. Miller: Absolutely right, Zack. That's not creative.

[The Joker and Darkseid Campaign For Donald Trump in Dark Knight Returns: The Golden Child from DC Comics ](https://bleedingcool.com/comics/joker-darkseid-campaign-donald-trump-dark-knight-returns-the-golden-child/) >Today sees the publication of the much anticipated Batman: Dark Knight Returns: The Golden Child from Frank Miller and Rafael Grampa. We pointed out yesterday that there was a certain amount of Trump re-election campaigning going on, and a riot taking place as a result. But that's just a tiny amount compared to the full comic book, published today. Here's a smattering. >Now, Trump is never referred to Trump and, indeed, he is not a Presidential candidate, here but a Governor seeking re-electing. Given Miller's happiness to put sitting Presidents into previous Dark Knight instalments, this suggests that a change may have come down from on high to amend President to Governor. That bloody Batman Damned, still affecting other comics. >With Batwoman in the middle of protestors, anti-Trump Batmen-masked protestors being set upon by Joker-themed thugs. But I'm sure there are good people on both sides. Carrie Kelley, previously Batman and now the new Batwoman, can only see the negative side. But she has to pick one..,

After October 7th this was out of stock for nearly a year. It has just been replenished. I managed to pick up a copy from the local library and it was incredible. Then you realize it depicts events that happened in the early 90s and the occupation has become far, far more advanced since then.
