I've been reading the king in yellow and these little guys are all I can think about

Ignore the reused assets. I wasn't gonna draw an entire eye when Jonathan Sims, head Archivist of the Magnus Institute has plenty

KHSFYITESFJKHKSD ok i DO understand the point being made and how the immutability of comics canon events seems to depend largely on how much a reader liked a given plot more than anything else, but Jason is like the WORST example you could use. Yes! The fans did literally kill him it was put to PUBLIC VOTE! Writing always involves the creation of conflict but Jim Starlin did NOT make that call unilaterally the crowbar IS in the reader's hand (or at least the voter's). Especially as modern comics increasingly lean on the 4th wall and include metatext as a plot point, YES there is ABSOLUTELY a reading where the writer and audience are as much "characters" as the city of Gotham itself even if we never show on-panel.

Ok its taking way too long to read catchup so I'm just going to ask: in Superior Spider-Man when he does his flashback to the Octogoblin breakup, and it's explicitly stated that Gobby gave Otto's ex AIDS just to be fucked up and Otto spent years doing AIDS research alone when the government was still invested in ignoring it, was that ACTUALLY canon or semi-canon to any older comics (I'm counting it if they didn't say AIDS but it was a mystery wasting disease) or was it just a weird retcon that never got followed up on or mentioned again??

It feels like that would be like. HUGELY impactful to Otto's character if it was "real", not just for the given character motive reasons but positioning him that way in society in that cultural environment. Like we talk about queer coding villains but if he was fighting AIDS back in the 80s he'd be family even if he was straight as an arrow. There'd be like notable discourse between people affected by his villainy and people who respect him and believe in him because he was there fighting the fight.

Sorry if I've asked this before and forgor thank you

I like this pose for Otto, it's more contemplative than an attack stance. Look at his little scowl.

What's funny about the movie is that I read Rorschach's speech patterns with a completely different voice so hearing how gruff he is caught me totally offguard. It made sense once I thought about it for one second but I was literally like

You can get a combo (italian beef & sausage) all over chicago but i just tried a beef and gyro combo and it was fantastic?? The giardinera was too spicy for me unfortunately, was really missing some tzatziki, but otherwise so so SO good. And cheese fries.
