Generation Hope #8 - "The Ward, Part 3"

[laughing_tree]

Teon is a primal character who's all about aggression and instinct. I'm interested in the idea of instincts; what they actually mean and how we use instinct. How much of our conscious thought is actual instinct that we assign meaning to after the fact? There's an interesting paradox of consciousness in that the signal in the brain which raises my arm happens before the signal of the conscious thought. So there's one theory that the thought signal is a side effect of the action, in which case everything we do is instinct. That's an incredibly scary thing to think about. Teon is an exploration of that. How much can you get by on instinct? And how can you adapt to your current situation in a highly proficient manner? That's what Teon ends up doing. -- Kieron Gillen

Dating a Hulk

[stubbleupdate]

One of the complaints I had about Mariko Tamaki's She Hulk series was that it was slow. I want to revisit it at some point next week, but my vague recollection is that while it was slow, the first arc was building towards something. Rowell's run is good, but also feels slow and I'm not entirely sure where it's going. As part of my planned re-read, I had a quick squint at Mariko Tamaki's Hulk #11, which is a quick little date night story.

The Swamp Thing (2021-) #13 is the marshaling of forces.

Issue #12'd set up those rooted in the works of man, the Parliament of Gears and Trinity the nuclear elemental.

It'd also brought the current avatar of the Green, Levi Kamei, out of his self-imposed undisturbed exile in that realm.

Back outside, Levi'd come to the aid of Jack Hawksmoor, who'd been investigating the perturbations of Detroit, Michigan.

Before that, though, he'd been at home with his friend-now-lover Jennifer Reece.

He was talking to her about why he'd exiled himself, after the events of issue #10: " I learned at last the temptation of trees. "

( He explained that temptation. )
