The Marvels #6 - "Reflections in a Lotus Garden"

[laughing_tree]

Lady Lotus was introduced in Invaders, back in the 1970s, and for some reason, when I was reading those books as a teenager, I thought it'd be interesting if she was immortal, and could show up again in the present day. And then in the 80s, Steve Gerber and Al Milgrom introduced a Los Angeles crime figure named Lotus Newmark, and I immediately thought, 'What if that's Lady Lotus again?' So when Roger Stern wrote the Avengers Two mini-series in 2000, I suggested to him that he reveal that Lady Lotus and Lotus Newmark were, in fact, the same character, already thinking she'd be useful to my plans for a Sin-Cong War. See, it really does go that far back! -- Kurt Busiek

"I Have The Utmost Confidence In You."

[numeronone]

"The basic idea behind TASK FORCE Z is "what if we made the Suicide Squad even more @#$*&% up?" So yes it's a story about weaponizing the dead, but it's also about redemption, and second chances, and trying to prove you're more than your worst moments... And also eating people."

Suicide Risk #1

[history79]

"It’s our world, very much our own present day, but set against the backdrop of the first wave of superpower activations. Dozens and then hundreds of people are showing up with powers – a trickle that becomes a stream that threatens to become a flood. And almost all of them are bad guys, or at least use their powers for selfish ends. So there’s a very small group of heroes and a somewhat larger group of non-superpowered law enforcers trying to hold the line against a tsunami of supervillains."

NoScans: The Panda Redd Christmas Special

[icon_uk]

I've posted links to TikTok poster ThePandaRedd before, especially his amazing "Tim has something to say" skit following Tim's coming out in the comics which has some of THE most genuinely funny Bat-family dynamics I've seen in years.

But I don't think he's tried anything quite on THIS scale before

It's a one-man video of the Paul Dini classic

Honestly, I would say it's dumb as balls. I think I said this in a newsletter recently: It's the smartest dumb book on the market. Or possibly the dumbest smart book! I don't know which. -- Kieron Gillen
