Alan Moore: "It’s always something that I used to fancy doing back in my mainstream days at DC, but back then I never got the opportunity, because there was a universe in place already. This is the first chance I’ve had to do it, and it’s been great to see these characters realized. First, the initial sketches by Rick Veitch, because he designed a lot of them, were all wonderful little character designs. They look totally archetypal yet are completely new. They’re sort of recognizable, but you’ve never seen them, which is a great quality.
Also seeing some of the artwork come in, which are some wonderful treats. For example, we’ve created a slew of Western characters as part of Judgment Day. The section in the first issue pertaining to those characters—Kid Thunder, The Brimstone Kid, and an Indian sorcerer called Night Eagle—were drawn by Gil Kane. I didn’t realize until I got the artwork back that he’d be doing it, and I have to say after seeing it that it’s the best artwork I’ve seen Gil Kane do in years—and that’s coming from a big Gil Kane fan. It’s perfect! It looks like he had a ball doing it, and it’s just brilliant stuff. These two or three pages of Gil Kane are going to be worth the price of admission alone, as far as I’m concerned.
It’s been fun watching these characters materialize. There’s been a great deal of pleasure being able to repopulate a comic landscape that for the past 15 years or so has been stripped down to nothing but super-heroes. What will come of it, I don’t know, but the early response has been warm, and I’ve had a lot of fun doing it."

Justice League #39 - "The Race"
Mar. 9th, 2018 04:31 amlaughing_tree
I am hearing very kind (maybe too-kind) things about “The People vs. Justice League” (which is actually the first half of a 10-issue run titled “Justice Lost”), which kind of surprises me a little in that I just assumed most fans would either not notice I was over there on JL or would hang me in effigy (as some are doing for my upcoming Deathstroke vs. Batman, a book that’s not even out yet and I am apparently being blamed for ruining Damian Wayne and Talia al Ghul). The premise of my JL run is fairly simple: what if these people were real. What if there really were, in our real world, in our cynical, zero-sum, statically polarized Fox News vs. MSNBC world, a group of demi gods who has a clubhouse in orbit above us. -- Christopher J. Priest

Uncanny X-Men Annual #18

This is a requested follow-up of sorts to the 'Caliban and Kitty' post from yesterday as the two had another interaction I was not yet aware of. That large hulking guy on the cover? That's Caliban. It was the 90s.

starwolf_oakleyA page posted from GOD LOVES MAN KILLS, Kitty Pryde said Nightcrawler had a right to be bitter over his appearance, but isn't. I'm not sure how true that is. Kurt Wagner can be VERY bitter over his appearance, just not all the time.
Five years back, I said some characters have a "more woobie than thou" attitude. They are jerks to characters who act/believe/think in a certain way, when they themselves have more of a right to act/believe/think that way, but don't. Basically, they *should* be sympathetic to the other characters, but aren't.

starwolf_oakleyIn looking over why certain male and female characters are the least favorite, I think I see the common link. These characters have a "more woobie than thou" attitude. They are jerks to characters who act/believe/think in a certain way, when they themselves have more of a right to act/believe/think that way, but don't. Basically, they *should* be sympathetic to the other characters, but aren't.
Batman is a prime example. "I saw my parents murdered right in front of me, so shut up with your emo prattle about using your powers to make the world a better place, but said powers always keeping you separate from that world."
