To be fair that was not a retcon but a reference to Pre-criss Jason who was a red head, Bruce really did make Jason dye his hair, with Morrison's "everything happened" run I thought it was a fun reference.

Rereading Seven to Eternity given it looks like it's finally going to end soon after a long hiatus. The art and colouring in this book are so beautiful. The only thing that springs to mind as a point of comparison is Planetary. The writing is a solid Western adventure with a non-traditional fantasy overlay. Good stuff.
Yeah, this is the last arc of Seven to Eternity. I think they just solicited the final issue...yeah, 17 concludes the arc at least.
I just caught up on Jonathan Hickman's Image book Decorum, which took a minute to explain why all its different plot threads are in the same story, but it's finally got there. Good stuff. I love the crazy mixed-media art approach, even if that means every issue is going to run at least a month late.

I swear, Marvel keeps having the Hulk specifically get lectured about how his life actually isn't that bad.Indeedly-doodly. Immortal Hulk #11. Jack McGee from the old TV show is turned into a black woman who, while trapped in hell with an horrific version of the Hulk, feels the time is right to berate him because he's -
Because he's white.

Normally, being a super jacked dude with unlimited strength and the smarts of a nuclear physicist would be awesome.
Not so much when your mental state is fractured, you can't control your transformations, and you're constantly being hounded by the military and freaks like Abomination and The Leader.

all we need is for marvel to push a black hulk.
oh god, if this happens, it's going to be so #woke that it'd piss people off.

The one with art by the German porno artist was decent.
It's just extremely hard for me to take any artist other the Diggle and Hester doing Ollie and company, though.

I know a lot of people have mixed feeling about Geoff Johns, god knows I do, but I absolutely loved his JSA run (JSA Vol 1), it's about characters Geoff is clearly passionate about and it's one of my favourite team books period. Tonnes of great character work. To me at least it had some really effective emotional highnotes, also if you enjoy his run there is a lot of it, he wrote the book for 10 years.

Like that ultimate version that taught Bruce Banner everything he knows about gamma? I'll never forget that mess.

to be fair, that was kind of an interesting idea.
I feel like they'd fuck up bringing a version of that Hulk to the mainstream marvel comics these days. They'd probably make it kinda racist.

Don't think it was mentioned yet, or it got lost in the shuffle with the other Bendis talk, but he's taking over the next JL run, which is (I think) in a month or two when the Future Slate stuff fizzles out. Biggest addition to the team is his OC, Naomi which isn't surprising, given how he's managed to work her into most of the other series he's writing.
There's some other odd/potentially interesting choices. I believe Green Arrow is leading the team, Hippolyta is randomly on it, and Black Adam is joining. Outside of Black Canary being there, can't remember any of the other characters. On the one hand, I think the current run of JL has been pretty lackluster, so I don't think it can exactly get any worse, but you never know with Bendis. It's too bad, because in the hands of a decent writer, the League is pretty interesting when it veers away from the usual members.

I'd be up for Black Adam on the JL.

The last I remember of Black Adam preflashpoint, he'd massacred hundreds if not thousands in WWIII. Understandably so, given the actions of those horsemen things. Could the JSA have him back after that?

I suppose when everyone is palling around with a mass murderer like Harley Quinn, having a homicidal dictator on the world's premiere superhero team isn't that big of a deal.
If it helps, I doubt he'll be doing more than talking about how amazing Naomi is or asking "where's Naomi" whenever she's not on panel. He probably won't even read like Teth because everyone that goes through the Bendis filter ends up sounding the same.

I'm sad because we never got a definitive end to the pre-flashpoint Black Adam character development.
I think Black Adam's just between Hippolyta and Vandal Savage on the scale of ancient characters.
Or maybe Hawkman and Vandal Savage.

Agreed. Even though the Satellite Era is my favorite JLA, the substitute team formed during The Obsidian Age arc of Atom, Jason Blood, Nightwing, Firestorm, Green Arrow, Faith, Hawkgirl, and Major Disaster was really great.

Been skimming the 2005 Supergirl stuff, and seriously, it feels like in every subsequent appearance of hers, she's wearing less and less skirt. Fucks sake, in issue 3 you can see what looks like her nipples poking out of her droopy breasts, and the skirt is about an inch away from showing her pussy lips. She's either 15 or 16 at this point, by the way. I don't care about that fact, mind, since I'm more of a degenerate manga reader than a comic book expert, but I didn't expect comics to reach mango level territories with their sub-18 year old characters.
Also she kisses Nightwing out of nowhere and then upon Nightwing stating that she's "like 15" after someone brought up said kiss, another person in the scene says "what's wrong with that?" for all I know, maybe the character in question is from a country where that's legal, but I doubt that's the case or that Loeb was actually thinking that far ahead. Have I stumbled upon an infamous trainwreck by accident? Issue #18 is apparently some meta fuck you to the people who didn't like it at that point, so I think I have.

Trying to nail down a character's age in comics is always tricky, but it feels like they've especially struggled with Supergirl. Sometimes, she's an adult with some kind of career, then the next arc starts and a new writer takes over and all of a sudden she's attending high school. Then in some crossovers, she'll be portrayed as roughly the same age as whoever she is crossing over with, which is usually a vague early to mid 20's character. Basically, it seems to be whatever the writer chooses at the time. I don't remember her and Nightwing kissing, but if they had Nightwing saying how young she was, it sounds like that was a conscious decision on Loeb's part and definitely comes off as creepy.
Pretty sure his more villainous moments were retconned away. Nowadays, he's portrayed like a Doctor Doom lite. He typically gets mentioned in running his nation, which is pretty open about allowing super villains in if they don't cause trouble. It usually leads to throwaway lines about how they can't get X character without starting an incident. Since he's getting his own movie (possibly) I'm guessing they want to lean more into a good guy/antihero role for him. He's an interesting character, but I don't think he's a good fit for Bendis.

Here's an image compilation of what I was talking about.
(Not gonna lie I'm a bit proud of this, though this is the equivalent of riding a bike with training wheels when it comes to the world of image editing, I imagine.)
