Ironically....? Bane was written extremely well in Secret Six. Gail Simone of all people writing Bane and Vandal's daughter Scandal well. Hell just about everyone on that team considering they're all D-listers on purpose.

Secret Six is my favorite thing Gail did, but I think it cemented her thinking she should just come up with brand new personalities and revamps for existing characters rather than using the established one. She got praise for her versions of Catman, Ragdoll, and as was said, Bane. I'm on the fence about Bane because him being overly paternal to Scandal seemed wildly out of character for me, but overall I enjoyed it.
The real problem was that she kept doing this, to the point where Red Sonja is now a drunken slut and every character she touches is now bisexual, even when there was no hint at it before. She actually got into a big fight online when she said Barbara Gordon was bi, someone pointed out she'd never shown interest in girls since she was first created, and that caused Gail to flip out.
I never understood why she didn't just go over to Image and do a creator-owned series with Nicola Scott. But then again, considering how poorly Clean Room and The Movement did, maybe she knew she needed established properties to launch off of.

The intro to the first SS omnibus is very interesting. She talks about how the idea was conceptualized and how she was going to use characters like Circe (?), Joker, etc and the higher ups said nope. Then she came up with a list of B-tier characters. Nope. Finally she pitched the C-tier and they agreed and it worked. She has said it is the thing she's most proud of. Making Catman a himbo slut, Ragdoll a psycho troll with feelings, and Jeanette's entire character were highlights. (The arc featuring Artemis and Wonder Woman was particularly great because of her. That moment when she beats Diana up and reveals her true power is still so damn great. The fact that they tied Countess Bathory and Marie Antoinette into her character is really interesting.)
I am curious though, how Gail ended up with the random Fiddler appearance then he dies. And if her plans for Cheshire were there from the start.
She mentioned how Jade nuked an entire country and it just reminds me of the whole Jean Grey as the Phoenix ate a star even though she herself wasn't in control. And then that godawful Cry for Justice thing happened with Lian.....I'm curious if her reaction to it was depicted.
Did anyone else notice Blink is back in 616 marvel universe? Where was she? The last I remember of her was Exiles.

The new Red Hood book has been cancelled after one issue because the insane tranny liberal "writer" was mocking Kirk's death https://www.thepopverse.com/comics-red-hood-2-3-orders-cancelled-dc-batman

I couldn't give a shit about the guy who was murdered and already stopped reading Red Hood, but I have to thank him for already impacting my real life if I decided to read in the future.
He Saved Jason from the hands of a tranny. They do 41% even at their jobs lol, lets hope that he never gets a job again (doubt)

When deciphering tranny names, you have to figure out which anime/cartoon character they were masturbating to growing up.
I looked up Gretchens from popular media, and came up with two possibilities.
I'm hoping its neither, honestly.

Haven’t seen her yet. Is she back to being normal Blink or are they still drawing her like George Floyd in pink-face?

Haven't read any Red Hood in years but you just know this book would have been fucking dumb. It was probably just an excuse to scrap it once DC realized just how shit it was. But punishing bad behavior is always a good thing. Like the fact that this guy list his bluesky account as well.
Watch as other liberals refuse to accept the real reason this idiot lost his gig and account.

But why are cops bad? Because they shoot first and ask questions second? Kinda like Red Hood?

Yea you know it sold like shit when they even gave retailers credit for issues already sold. That would never have happened if the new Batman relaunch that broke all records got cancelled. It also spun out of an event that hasn't even finished and has been delayed for like 4 months lmao.

Hey, wondering if someone could help me out.
I used to own the first three Superman Archives hardcovers (not Superman in Action Comics, and not Superman Man of Tomorrow--just "Superman"). I believe I still do, but they're in a packing crate somewhere and I have no idea where.
And there were a few pages specifically I wanted to see again--namely there was this page I remember that had a coded message that "only Superman fan club members" could decipher.
Because I was bored, I deciphered it. I don't recall what the message was.
And I'm bored again and would like to challenge my brain by deciphering it again.
If anyone can find me scans of those archives--or even issues, or even just the actual pages that have those "secret messages"--that would be awesome!
Thanks in advance.

So, I'm stuck home from work today with a sick kid, and I finally got around to reading The Authority. Had always meant to, but just never had the time. I was a teenager when it came out, so I always defaulted to the side of defending the cool, edgy, WE'RE HERE WE'RE QUEER comic that had the balls to shit on inbred white hick country bumpkins and normie superheroes. Because, y'know, that's a brave stance that literally nobody in the history of ever has taken. Well, now that I've read it (and now that I'm an adult who doesn't run around in trench coats and black nail polish... it was the 90s, sue me), I can safely say that I finally understand where Captain Atom was coming from when he burnt that whole shithole universe down to the ground. Just everything about Seth the pedophile rapist redneck serial killer there at the end of the comic makes me want to hold Millar down and never stop punching him.
This is how Blink was drawn in her most recent mini from a few years back.

You should check Library Genesis. They have the first four volumes of the Superman Archives.

I'll look it up, thanks.
...................
@topic
So I started reading the Batman storyline "Bruce Wayne: Murderer?"
I'm reading from a version that divides it into two books: "Bruce Wayne: Murderer?" and "Bruce Wayne: Fugitive." I'm most of the way thru the first book now.
So far it kind of annoys me.
One problem with a lot of Batman writers is they always want every story to be about how everyone is affected emotionally, so a lot of the story is characters chatterboxing about how sad they'd feel if Bruce actually did it, which is boring because as the reader we know damn well he didn't. It basically begins feeling like a glorified version of one of those cartoon episodes where the hero gets framed and everyone turns on them.
Me, my interest was I thought this was gonna be a murder mystery, but the book doesn't want to focus on that. In fact there's been little said about Vesper's murder.
This is one thing that bugs me: there's less evidence against Bruce Wayne than there was against OJ Simpson, and well... OJ walked. The initial sequence reads "obvious frame up," and yet everyone took retard pills in this story, even Oracle and Tim Drake are wondering "did he actually do it?" and the Gotham PD seem convinced. I think Bruce needs better attorneys.
Then the story hits a midpoint where Bruce Wayne escapes and... he decides he's going to be Batman full time, "there is no Bruce Wayne anymore."
Buh-scuse me? Don't you need Bruce Wayne to make sure funding keeps being channeled into your Batman efforts? The story is completely ignoring that so far, and again, none of his friends think to bring that up, instead preferring a "OMG you not being Bruce anymore is so troubling and sad!" angle.
It's kind of dumb so far.

You forgot one and it's equally as horrifying
But yeah all jokes aside serves this (possibly) prickless prick ELLIOT right for getting his book axed and hopefully fired from DC. Too bad it took Charlie Kirk's death for people to start being punished for saying stupid shit online when it comes to people they disagree with.
His red hood book was barley worth reading via readcomic and the best part was the frigging comments section. There's something weird going on when I can barley tell the difference between a comments section on a comic book's upload site, and a kiwi farms thread.
