"I think of this book as like the Bird himself, underestimated, then explosive. It’s a dirty, fun, gorgeous exploration of power and corruption in the DCU." -- Tom King

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday

[icon_uk]

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than me.

A US court has rulled that art created by AI cannot be copyrighted.

In a move which seems utterly bizarre, even by the usual "standards" of such things, the International Chess Federation has banned transgender women from competing in the women's competitions. I honestly could not have told you chess competitions were even gender split because... Why would they be? But to add transphobia onto institutionalised sexism for a purely cerebral game is appalling.

Superman: The Last Days of Lex Luthor #1

[superboyprime]

'I said, “I’m not interested, because it’ll never get approved.” “No no no, it’s Black Label. I’m sure it’ll be approved, it’ll be fine.” “Nope.” “You must have a Superman idea.” “Nope, don’t have a Superman idea because if I ever thought I’d be able to write Superman, I’d have an idea. Not gonna write it.” She wore me down. Molly Mayhew wore me down until I finally came home and I’m like, “Not gonna do it,” and wouldn’t you know, I came up with the best Superman idea I ever had. I did the pitch, it got approved at every level until the publisher said, “Not interested.” Bryan Hitch signed on. Still publisher not interested but we kept hope alive. So, the moment the regime change happened, that day, that project was greenlit.' - Mark Waid

Immortal Thor #1: "All Weather Turns to Storm"

[alliterator]

"I'm writing Loki again, and I'm enjoying making them a little unpredictable, in ways that are completely new to the character but should hopefully fit perfectly with where they've been and who they've become. Loki's the God of Stories now, Skald of the Realms, and settling into that role might have made them more dangerous than ever—after all, a storyteller's first allegiance is to the tale. What does that mean for Thor? You'll see."
-- Al Ewing
