I don't know if I want finish Three Jokers

 I'm not sure what the point would be. We'll see but I don't really feel inclined to read more after the first issue.

Mcfarlene Red Hood Will be available in single pack

 This is good news because I did not want the two pack with red Nightwing. The only difference seems to be a darker color change for the jacket. No sign of pre-orders yet.

New Wave from McFarlane

While I'm not interested in a couple figures there is one figure I was happy to see. It gives me hope of seeing one team completed.

Short Review: Red Hood (and the) Outlaw(s) #48 Vol. 2

I haven't been reviewing issues for awhile, partly because of computer problems, but I decided to review this one out of order. Why? Well it's crammed into the last Outlaws arc so order really doesn't matter.

SPOILERS AHEAD 

Another Weird Pairing

The Titans Titans went to the future where Tim Drake is kissed by a blonde Batwoman...who's not Stephanie Brown but rather...

Writers' Block: Geoff Johns writing vs. Jason's time on the Teen Titans

I was less than impressed with Johns writing on Three Jokers. I liked him on Booster Gold although he still had some flaws. I'm taking a look back at his first attempt to write Jason Todd in Teen Titans #29 and how that fits with the characters' past with the team.

I knew it

Almost two years ago I wrote why I worried about Three Jokers. What a disappointment.

It’s even worse when you remember they planned for this series to be canon.

Three Jokers #1

I've been going back and forth a lot on whether or not to get this comic. I've seen mixed reactions before deciding to see for myself. 

 SPOILERS AHEAD

Got the Booster Gold: Future Lost

 After computer frustrations and mailing woes I got this in the mail on Saturday. I was a little disappointed that there wasn't more costume designs or other unseen sketches in the back. Still it's nice to finally have this. I also got a book I've been on the fence about getting and am dreading a little. But at least I have some Booster Gold goodness.

Deathstroke talks to Gar Logan

I've been reading the New Teen Titans trades and finally caught up on the whole original story of Terra. But it was the talk Slade Wilson had with Gar Logan that I was looking forward to the most.

DC Direct/Collectibles ended, what will McFarlane make?

When I first got into collecting I went on a forum that talked about what DC Direct was supposed to be about. It was supposedly made to create lesser known DC characters into figures that likely wouldn't do as well in the retail market.

Mcfarlane has two-packs coming out

One of those is a Red Hood vs. Nighwing set.

DC Solicits for October 2020

I haven't been reading many comics lately as stuff in my life needed more attention. But that just means I have more comics to read later.

DC Solicits for September 2020

I'm not sure how to feel about all of this. Don't let me down, Johns.

Who is Joker talking about?

Teen Titans: Who's to blame

I saw this mentioned and thought I'd add my two cents. SPOILERS in the link and in my response.

The New Ted Kord Plot

I didn't see this coming.

Top 10 Unresolved Booster Gold Plots or General Confusion

Some admittedly I care about but no one else seems to mention.

DC Solicits for August 2020

We finally got some new solicits and there's definitely more to talk about.

Why does Harley like Booster?

I've been frustrated that there haven't been a lot of Booster appearances that I want to read. I don't read Injustice. I didn't want to read more of the Giffin/DeMatteis version with Justice League 3001.

I skipped the Dceased tie in, etc. A lot of these titles aren't to my taste. I'm not fond of Harley Quinn nor what sounded like a "Booster is dumb" appearance in the solicits. Then I heard about Harley having a thing for him and that definitely made me cringe.

Justice League Legacy TPB

I got around to getting this because I'm a sucker for time travel and family stories.

SPOILERS AHEAD

Some good Custom Figures

I found some nice ones fairly recently.

Batman/Damian Wayne

Orphan/Cassandra Cain

Red Robin

The Importance of Qurac

It's been awhile since I went into full blown theory mode, so why not?

Short Review: Red Hood (and the) Outlaw(s) #44 Vol. 2

The team go undercover to work with General Glory while Essence makes her move against the Untitled.

DC Solicits for June 2020

Some upcoming comics and a weird theory.

Short Review: Red Hood (and the) Outlaw(s) #43 Vol. 2

I'm sad because with sales down it looks like the book will be ending and who knows what will happen to these characters and plots once 5G starts.

SPOILERS AHEAD

Yes, Alfred uses guns

Recently I saw someone argue about Alfred using guns...he's been using them for years and has no problems killing if need be. One of the most memorable times was when he actually shot Rip Hunter and tried to shoot Booster Gold and Michelle.

Alfred Pennyworth: Perhaps you relied on my master's vow against lethal force. Let me assure you that I subscribe to no such niceties. 

Batman: Alfred Pennyworth #1

Everyone that's been keeping up with comic book news knows that the death of Alfred Pennyworth was a last minute change. Which didn't give me much hope in the aftermath of such a decision but I wanted to know where the bat family currently stood.

SPOILERS AHEAD

DC Solicits for May 2020

Not many solicits to talk about but I do have a few things to say about some of them.

Unanswered Questions of the Hieve El Agua Plot

I've been thinking a lot about this storyline since the we learned why it's important to Artemis. Naturally my curiosity led to some questions.

Wonder Woman #750

I wish this book had Donna Troy, Cassandra Sandsmark and Artemis Grace. Sadly none of them appeared, not even in a variant cover.

Does it count as the favor they owe Lex?

When Bizarro was dying Lex Luthor saved him and said he did nothing out of the goodness of his heart.

Clarification on Female and Male Character Heights

Recently I've seen A LOT of grief given to an artist about Artemis' height. Yes, some panels had her noticeably shorter than she's supposed to be but I also noticed panels where she looked like she was the same height as Jason. I think some of comments were extremely harsh, especially when fans also seem to be a misunderstanding just how tall she is. One poster claims her height and Jason's is "just like Big Barda and Mr. Miracles'." It's not.

The Timeline of Artemis Grace

An attempt at organizing the history of Artemis Grace of Bana-Mighdall in the current DCU. It's simplified so a lot of events won't have in depth details.

This is a work in process and some things haven't been clarified in canon yet. I have two potential places where Artemis could have worked for Luthor for example and I went with what I thought worked best.

Red Hood and the Outlaws #42 Vol. 2

How do Jason and Artemis feel about each other?

SPOILERS AHEAD

Some (but not all) of the problems.

DC Solicits for April 2020

Still no Three Jokers and given rumors I'm okay with that.

The Problems with the Bat Family Part 2

The Problems with the Bat Family Part 1

I love them dearly but I've been seeing some recurring issues with them for a while now.
