#I love comics

[sporkberries]

“Even comic fans dont like comics” but that dislike of certain comics editorial etc doesnt come from the fact comics are inherently bad or lesser, its from the fact they’re good! Its from the way ive fallen in love with stories and characters through this medium. Sure me and many others bitch a lot but it comes from a genuine place of love

#i love comics #comics have affected me and changed me at such a deep level #especially rucka’s work #spork says stuff #dc #marvel

Okay this misconception keeps coming across my dash and it drives me nuts because it means people are lumping two very different versions of the DC universe under one disparaging banner. So let me just say this to get it off my chest because I'm this close to shaking somebody:

The New 52 ended seven years ago in 2016.

That started a section of DC's history called "Rebirth" in which they started bringing elements of the pre-Flashpoint continuity back into the timeline. The first changes came in a big burst called Convergence -- which is how Jon Kent effectively manifested fully formed at 10 years old -- while other reintroductions like Kon-El, Bart Allen, Cass Cain, etc. were more gradual.

The original plan, being forced through by King of Bad Decisions Dan Didio, was that after ~4-5 Rebirth would give way to another full reboot known as 5G. I could go into detail about the plans but they're honestly not important to this post because Didio was (thankfully, finally) ousted from his role as publisher early in 2020, along with something like 80% of the higher-level editorial staff. DC had a complete creative turn-over at the start of the pandemic and completely changed directions as a result. The material being developed for 5G was retooled into the hypothetical future event "Future State" to buy the new staff time to pull together their new direction.

That new direction is called INFINITE FRONTIER. It started in 2021 and THAT is the era of DC comics we're in now. Infinite Frontier is an active push to bring back the pre-Flashpoint characters, as well as some pre-Crisis ideas and characters, while also keeping the few elements of the New 52 that people actually liked (like Jason Todd's more heroic characterization) and actively pursuing diversity initiatives both in creative staff and in creations. And outside of the big events, they're making a real effort to keep these comics short and self contained in the hopes that that'll make them more accessible. So it's actually really easy, if you read comics pre-Flashpoint and dropped off, to just pick up a series and go with the flow. Anything confusing is just a Google away.

Please, please don't make the mistake of thinking modern comics are as bad as the New 52 just because some people are butthurt their ship isn't getting canonized. There have been some really good comics made in the last few years that you should totally try! Spirit World, Monkey Prince and the entire We Are Legends line has been genuinely fantastic. The new Birds of Prey is shaping up to be a ton of fun. Dark Knights of Steel is an entertaining Elseworld. Urban Legends and Brave & the Bold have done some really fun things with shorter anthology books. One Minute War was a really fun Flash family event and everything Stargirl's done recently is liable to make you cry.

I'm begging people to give these comics a chance. It's just really sad to see them being dismissed out of hand.

#dc comics #batman #bat family #superman #wonder woman #superheroes #idk man #the way people talk about comics sometimes just makes me sad #i love comics #i usually want to talk about how good they are #and I only talk about the ones that are bad because I want them to be better #i just hate so much to see the really good comics getting published today #being lumped in with the mean spirited mess that was the New 52

I wish there was like a comic store that stocked indie stuff as well that had an easy online order form and also supported overseas folks b/c many of us outside of the US even can't just walk into a local comic store and preorder a book T_T

#I love comics #there are so many I can't get #I basically can't get much unless it's on amazon and will ship overseas #I HATE it

i’m still in my “getting used to drawing these characters” phase but!! i love this au so much!! also weirdly enough made actually drawing the characters easier.

@cptnwynnie love your au so much, the designs are also so cute!! hope you don’t mind me taking my crack at it :)

close(r) ups :)

very wip that i’ll probably never finish or touch up but think this is my first time drawing basically all these characters except reynie (who i’ve drawn a totally of once lmao) so some are a bit odder looking to me LOL . all of these are just procreate screenshots since i originally wasn’t going to do anything with it but made it out of my camera roll anyways

very high chances i make more comic spreads like this :) it’s very good practice!!

#the mysterious benedict society #tmbs #ena art #i realised most people just do a myart tag but i’ve already committed to the ena tags #i love comics #no words here but i got into making the little panels #martina crowe #reynie muldoon #kate weatherall #constance contraire #sticky washington #will take down if wanted!! #i know i’ve clarified this is a wip and needs more work but now that i’m looking at it MAN. the work it needs is right in my face #might come back to this just to fix anatomy and things LMAOAO #doubtful

Drawing nate's side profile is just glowy eye or eye scars, pick your poison

Sometimes I remember, out of the blue, that Comet the Super-horse wasn't actually a horse, he was an immortal superpowered centaur from ancient Greece who was cursed to be fully horse on accident and stayed with Supergirl because her spaceship happened to accidentally free him from magical imprisonment on an asteriod in the Sagittarius constellation and also he was in love with her.

And I just have to smile.

Ever thought about being a cartoonist someday?

A cartoonist is someone who draws cartoons.

I think I'm already doing that, so.

*motions to my art* lol

I mainly enjoy doing comics and such. Laying out stories into framed images always hits me just right.~
