Robotech/Voltron #2-3: Lotor's mother

[leahandillyana]

The original cartoon never said anything about Lotor's mother. Robotech/Voltron crossover comic fills in the gap, giving her face, name and a reason for marrying Zarkon. Unfortunately, not much more than this, but it also gives some disturbing implication to Lotor's interest in Allura, here however portrayed as a honest crush, somewhat enobling the character. The series also introduces an item later reintroduced in Voltron Legendary Defender, fueling the events of middle third of the cartoon. Trigger warning for graphic character death.

Gwenpool Strikes Back #1

[cyberghostface]

"Gen Z is anxious and depressed, and they are valid for that. They all go to school wondering if it’s their turn to get shot by a classmate that day. Humor is very much a powerful coping mechanism for them, and it’s something that edges past the widely-accepted understanding of how bleak modern life is, right on into making each other laugh about it as praxis. It’s dark and joyful at the same time. The stuff Gwen jokes about isn’t funny at all, but her desire to make the reader happy—make us laugh despite how bad the situation is—is sincere as hell. The tl;dr of what I just said is that Deadpool references memes; Gwenpool makes the memes. She’s the only shitposter operating within Earth-616. And she knows exactly what she’s doing." -- Leah Williams
