Smash or Pass: Jon

Send Smash or Pass + a name and my muse will say if they would smash or pass on that person.

"We're talking about the Scarecrow, right? Wait. Does he even have a sex life?" Roman asks, deadly serious about the question. Jon was many things but a sex god he was not, being far too obsessed with his work and perfecting his Fear Gas over consorting with others for pleasure. He was a joyless man, unless it involved tormenting others by subjecting them to their greatest terrors and that wasn't Roman's idea of a good time. It was more like work, which he could tolerate as the man was intelligent but he had about as much sex appeal as an old piece of beef jerky. "Pass. I ain't interested in a bag of bones and I'd really rather not worrying about whether or not my playmate's gonna stick me with a syringe or blow gas in my face. I'd work with the guy... maybe, because there's potential with raking in some serious moolah otherwise forget it!"

#mcnomaniametus #memes ;; smash or pass #THIS ONE MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD AFSDFSDF #And another anon or two recommended Jon so it was even more entertaining #Roman: I want to fuck not get fucked up :/ #Likes Jon's mind not his body #Sorry replies are a little slow my laptop is being an absolute shit #Windows is trying to force an update but I'm stubborn about not letting it until I'm finished for the night #It can fuck off

Thanks for the comics recs. I want to start from Batman, Green lantern then about the story of batfamily, somw DCU too. I've read some comics from New 52 but I don't really like it very much tho. Can you help me? Thanks

Alright, all the below titles are for currently running Rebirth titles (the current DC continuity that is trying to fix the new 52s comedy of errors). If you want Post-Crisis continuity recs (1986-2011) then let me know and I’ll do a set for those instead. This is mostly me waffling on tbh and may be of limited usefulness. 

Everything is also just my opinion which is totally biased and if you disagree cool. 

Batman can be found in a number of titles currently running. I am not mentioning the various Justice League titles, only the ones that fall within the ‘Batman Family’ group of titles. Batman shows up all over the place. 

Batman written by Tom King. It’s…okay. Read #16 and quit tbh I hold a grudge against this guy, my bias is showing. Do not trust anything I say about this title I’m extremely, extremely bitter about some twitter comments he made. This is Batman’s primary solo book so it’s worth checking out maybe probably no don’t do it.

Detective Comics written by James Tynion IV is the ensemble Bat book, with Batman in the lead. This has the most concentration of Bat family members working together, especially ones that don’t have their own books. If you’re looking for Jason, Dick and Damian, they’ve all got their own books. If you want Cass, Steph, Duke, Harper, Luke Fox and the feel of a team book, this one you should pick up, for that alone. It’s also the book depicting the sekrits behind Tim’s fake death, if you’re into that. 

Batwoman written by Marguerite Bennett & James Tynion IV, art by Steve Epting. It’s gorgeous. Kate also appears in Detective Comics but I think her popularity earned her a solo Rebirth title? I’m a little unsure how it went down. This book is gorgeous and it’s just started so great jumping on point. I’m a tiny bit biased because I’m 100% here for Kate and her entire aesthetic. 

Red Hood and the Outlaws written well by Scott Lobdell (i know I was shocked too), and the first arc has gorgeous art by Dexter Soy who I would marry in a heartbeat if he asked me. Currently my favorite Rebirth title of all and not just because Jason is one of my favs. The first story arc is complete go get it, read it, spend about fifteen minutes wondering what demon possessed Lobdell and how we can make it stay and continue it’s good work. The issue releasing next contains face helmet, but Dexter will be back with issue 9 and all will be right with the world. I’m biased as fuck but it’s actually good. 

Titans written by Dan Abnett is the only current Nightwing book I’m now following, as the solo Nightwing seems to have decided to emulate a soap opera and the writer clearly doesn’t know who the hell Dick Grayson actually is. This one I tentatively recommend as a team book, but a lot of Post-Crisis baggage comes with it and there is a bunch of confusing stuff about time-y wime-y memory stealing excuses for why Post-Crisis ended and why new 52 got booted. It’s only just started actually moving away from that to actual story lines. still, if the classic OG Titans (Dick Grayson, Wally West, Donna Troy, Roy Harper, Garth) and some of the more obscure Titans (Lilith Clay, Mal Duncan, Karen Beecher) interest you, this is a good one to pick up. Also good for nostalgia. 

Teen Titans written by Ben Percy is Damian’s ‘primary’ book. Don’t ask me the logic behind Batman stationing his thirteen year old in another city, which is apparently what he’s done? I don’t really follow this one. It’s another attempt at capturing the Teen Titans cartoon audience, from the lineup (why is Kori in the Teen Titans? Why is Beast still a kid, he’s had a worse run with aging than Tim). Your Mileage May Vary as to Damian’s characterization in it. 

Super Sons written by Peter Tomasi, who is a solid writer for DC. My preferred Damian book because despite my low key dislike of DC’s emphasis on Damian and Jon Kent as the ‘true’ sons of Batman and Superman, like both haven’t had kids before (even if Clark took years to give Kon-El a NAME omg let us not go there), they’re an adorable pair with potential for a solid run and I like Damian working with someone younger. Add in some of Damian’s other Gotham friends and make it a misfit team of young teens (a la Young Justice) and it would be a perfect book. Just started, another good jumping on point. Art by Jorge Jimenez is lovely

There’s also All-Star Batman but I know nothing about it. I think it’s not technically set in continuity with the rest of the DCU but it might be fun? I’ve seen it around but I have no idea if it’s good or not. 

Green Lantern is a little simpler, as there are two books to follow. 

Green Lanterns written by Sam Humphries, focuses on two new Earth Green Lanterns, Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz. This a great book for newcomers because they’re pretty new, so less old baggage. Jessica is the first proper female Green Lantern for Earth and her character is very easy to identify with and the book is seems well done (I keep up on and off I lack time guys). These tw0 also appear in the Justice League book.

Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps written by Rob Venditti,has all the old guard, Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Guy Gardner, and Kyle Rayner (recently popped up as White Lantern). This one has all the space cop, aliens and emotional spectrum carry over from previous Green Lantern runs. If you like these characters pick it up for sure, may be a little more confusing and require some wiki-ing. 

Hope this helps, anon! 

(or was at least mildly entertaining to read)
