This funny Joker comic hit the market on the same day as The Killing Joke. I can’t emphasize that enough.
And that’s not even the most baffling thing about it.
( THREE staples?!?! )
Cemetery Kids Don't Die #4 is dawning horror.
Nov. 2nd, 2025 10:51 amthanekos posting in scans_dailyIssue #3'd ended on Birdie realizing that her friend Wilson was also in danger from the VR game Nightmare Cemetery.
Her brother Pik was in a coma, mentally taken into the game by the " King of Sleep ". The King'd shoved one of his claws through her friend Enid's left eye while she was helping look for Pik.
Wilson had also been helping her - they'd both taken sleeping pills to get around the hard time-limit on their Dreamwaves, expecting to be able to wake each other up.
But she wasn't able to wake him. She was grounded by her worried and frustrated dad, able only to watch videos about other victims of Nightmare Cemetery.
( She found someone else who'd lost a sibling. )

Last time out, we showcased
( Nobody ever talks about the COST of maintaining moon-sized ships, but if the Galactic Empire had managed its spending better, its Death Stars might not have so many corridors full of bottomless pits to fall into. )
Cemetery Kids Don't Die #3 is traumatic horror.
Oct. 30th, 2025 10:09 amthanekos posting in scans_dailyIssue #2'd ended on physical trauma - Enid, one of three going deeper into the VR game Nightmare Cemetery, getting stabbed in the eye.
It was an in-game injury, inflicted by the same thing that'd taken her friend Birdie's brother Pik. He was comatose in the real world - she, waking into it, was bleeding.
Birdie and their friend Wilson saw her the next day.
( " Wow.. what the fuck..? " )

"Wait...We Can Write WOMEN?": Introducing Green Flame (Fire) & Ice Maiden (Ice) (JLI 16/?)

As this JLI retrospective has chugged along, I've done my best to provide some context. But this time, the context is so involved, I figured I should make a separate post that's all context.
For its first four issues, the Justice League/Justice League International series was at a Bechdel 1. Then female villains stopped appearing and Doctor Light stormed out, putting it at a Bechdel 0...until #12, when two new characters rocketed it to Bechdel 3--where it would remain, more often than not, for as long as they were part of the series.
( Also from 2 nations represented up to 4. )

Tales from the Crypt: A-Corny Story

A classic tale of vengeance from the good folks at EC.
( When your butler tells you he's quitting because you've been acting 'like an adolescent,' replying with 'Aw c'mon, hang around' doesn't help your case )
