Bendy Comic (8)
Day 8 of trying to convince @themeatly to let me be Bendy's voice actor, because while Bendy takes his mid-day snooze I will be awake doing this! (Okay but in all seriousness I'm running out of content, so if y'all have anything y'all want me to voice over with Bendy please let me know!)

Day 6 of trying to convince @themeatly to let me be Bendy's voice actor, because if I get to then I won't have to strike them with a prank joy buzzer 😉🫵🏻
Here's another Nightwing, I actually drew this one before the other one I posted, but I don't really like this one, I think something about how I colored the skin is funky. Any suggestions?
The original Superman artist Joe Shuster was rightfully bitter about the huge financial loss selling the rights to Superman caused him and his co-creator Jerry Siegel. Joe was going blind while working as a mailman and living by himself in a ratty apartment.
He made BDSM porn comics with Superman and supporting character lookalikes. Some people say it was out of pure financial desperation and a case of lookalike art that caused this. Others say it was a jab at DC comics for all that they did to him.
The story is pretty interesting of how they found this out. I’ll try and find the article because it’s wonderfully written.
This is legitimately the most horrifying tweet I’ve seen in a long time
Milksop, I totally forgot it was a word until I saw this.
If Marvel ever adapts Werewolf by Night into a show, I really hope they include the absurdity that is The Hangman
“So much for the Tolerant Left!” Says the man running around L.A. with a scythe chasing after a mostly innocent hairy boi
I'm so excited to read this! Do you want a queer, racially diverse, plus size friendly, and all around loving adaptation of Nancy Drew in comic form? Check it out! If you don't have a comic shop to hop to you can purchase this comic digitally from Amazon or Comixology!
Dynamite Entertainment has announced a new series, Nancy Drew, by Kelly Thompson and Jenn St-Onge. The teen sleuth’s latest daring adventure debuts in June, with cover variant artwork by the astonishing assemblage of Tula Lotay, Marguerite Sauvage, Annie Wu, and series artist Jenn St-Onge.
In the new series, Nancy Drew is seventeen and good at everything… especially solving crimes. But her totally-in-control-and-obviously-running-perfectly-smooth-(but-not-really) life hits a snag when a mysterious message drags her back to the hometown she left behind. There she’ll have to find out which of her friends are still her friends, which are enemies, and who exactly is trying to kill her…and (hopefully) stop them before they succeed. Nancy, the classic master teen mystery-cracker, will be shown in a way you’ve never seen before, by a creative team with a huge respect for the original tales, and what she could mean for a modern audience.

I watched The Minions movie a couple weeks ago as I’ve been rewatching the Despicable Me movies and didn’t remember if I saw it yet. The movie was pretty decent, I found the beginning (basically any scene before Scarlet) fairly boring to be honest but it got much better towards the 2nd half. I enjoyed it more then I expected. The 60s vibe and parts with the queen were really fun I thought, but my favourite thing about this movie is without a doubt Scarlet Overkill. For one I just think having a female super villain is super cool, but she was actually so funny and I love what a sassy, absoluetly unhinged diva she is. She’s sweet one second and just deranged the next second and I found her backstory very interesting. So I HAD to draw her cus I love her. What an awesome villain. I actually practiced perspective and angles with this one and used reference pictures for once. I also wanted it to look slightly comic book like. I’m honestly so pleased with it, I think I did her justice.
I NEED a comic/story where Harley falls in love with Poison Ivy at Arkham instead of Joker and helps Ivy escape and becomes Harley Quinn but in a much more positive, self-acualization way

(this is a repost from my old Twitter account)
I read a post earlier and then lost it before I could reblog it with some interesting information so I'm gonna throw the information out into the void.
The original post was a comment about how no one who has ever inked a comic has ever met a person of color before. They had very valid complaints about bad shading and inconsistent skin tones.
And y'all know me. I am a fiend for comic industry history.
Color in comics is obviously a huge deal, not just in skin but for iconic costume designs. The oldest and most well-known characters tend to be bright shades of red, blue, green and/or black. This is true across the board in early comics and it's due to a variety of factors. The biggest one being that most comics, to be made cheaply, could only use around 63 colors for a standard issue. On top of that, the way the DC and Marvel printed their comics was basically with pointillism and shifting densities.
Before I wind up regurgitating the whole article, let me link one of my go-to resources.
And
Actually, womenwriteaboutcomics.com in general is a fantastic educational tool and a great way to keep an eye out for opportunities to submit your own comic story submissions.
Thanks for letting me nerd out about comic history again!
Do you think Bruce Wayne became written as a worse and worse parent because the idea of what makes a person "Heroic" has changed over the years?
(Cut for rambling)
At the start of Batman comics there was a very clear need for the audience to suspend their disbelief. The comic was very much a story, a reflection of the world where the reader was to be entertained with tales about a strange detective investigating the strange crimes of Gotham City.
Robin was Batman's partner, a new element to the story that appealed to a younger audience. They were a team that brought in a lot of capital. Authors would write heart-rending storylines and at the opposite page there would be a weird cheerful ad for Batman and Robin using fruit pies to stop crime.
Society evolves quickly and our media can struggle to keep up. The notion that children should be protected is a relatively recent one and it makes the inclusion of child heroes become... unpalatable to people. Modern values have changed and so too must the characters.
But applying current social values to the concept of child heroes would erase them.
Their whole existence is to be young and to fight the people who want to hurt them. To be young and be able to protect one's loved ones is a compelling story.
It's not just comic book heroes who fall under this paradox, either. Avatar: The Last Airbender is full of children learning how to fight and die for their world. Percy Jackson is another. Hell, one could even make a case for Warrior Cats. The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew were facing off with murderers just as often as any kid hero.
It's a common and loved story because we've all been children who have had to carve out a place for ourselves in the world.
So the existence of Robin, of child heroes in general, becomes an awkward duality. The character is too profitable to retire. Many people can still suspend disbelief enough to enjoy the story. Other people struggle to accept that a "hero", a "good Dad", could allow his children to fight at his side.
So authors are tasked again and again to try to explain Robin. To excuse the existence of a child hero in a day and age when most responsible adults would freak the fuck out at the idea of a kid going out at night to fight criminals.
And sometimes, more often than many of us would like, they come up with writing Bruce as a bad parent. A bad leader, even. It doesn't help that writers don't often get to have stories published that have significant influence on Batman as a character. He's purposely, perpetually trapped at one starting position for every new story.
Which is a valid take. In my opinion it's uninspired, but I understand the rationale behind it. They're working against a lot of baggage. There's nearly 90 years of culture shift to account for and hundreds of authors. Even the way comics are written now is very different from back then and that also messes with perceptions.
To me, Bruce is a deeply flawed man. He's been a shitty dad, yes, but not because Robin exists. He didn't have a choice with Robin - that was decided by forces beyond his control. I don't know how to judge canon Bruce Wayne; there are genuinely too many stories for me to feel like I have an accurate read on him.
I know that he tries very hard to do good. I know that he has the potential to make better choices and take kinder actions.
I'm not going to hold my breath, though. Even if we get a canon Batman run where he gets therapy and apologizes for his mistakes and past actions, where he has some real, meaningful dialogue with the people he loves... The next writer can ignore that for a more dramatic plot where he acts like a complete drip.
Pick your preferred version and warp canon to fit that guy - it's what DC does.
Thank the goddess for fanfiction.
If you can read them online you can buy them online.
I get that it can be troublesome without a local store, so I encourage everyone to buy their comics from other brick-and-mortar stores and have them conveniently delivered to your door through the mail. Or go ahead and buy the PDF!
Pirating comics contributes to a future with even fewer comic book shops and an even greater dependence on bloated businesses like Amazon. It makes it more difficult for people to become comic book artists and writers in general.
It's a short-term savings for the individual vs the long-term protection of the genre.
Why are comic fans so against piracy and reading online like dude there are literally no places to buy comics where I live I have no other option
I want everyone to know that I predicted this back in 2023.
I made new lock screens and I wish to share them with all the lovely internet people.
Yeah. No more talk shows for me. I asked for an autograph for my Space Ghost #1 (off the new Dynamite Comics run) And he just starting yelling about "Trademark infringement" (???) and it just devolved into him being verbally aggressive to his agent and producers.
I can't.
(Goroge Low was an absolute inspiration to me both as a child, and even when developing Cash. When I started Vtuber stuff I ingested so much Conan, The Critic And Space Ghost to really understand the best way to naturally talk on mic. (didn't work)
We lost a very talented man.)
New videos up!
In this one I take a look at some old Fantastic Four toys, that I’ve had since childhood.
I’m hoping to make more content based on comic books and toys, so if this is your jam, stick around.
I’m still figuring out what the hell I want my channel to be, but you’re bound to get a few laughs if ya give me a few fallows while I figure everything out.
First New Video In A While!
I delve into a well written Batman comic to put a spotlight on what could be the best work by Tom King and Lee Weeks.
(also, my first video in a while! I’m still iffy about being on a mic, so at this point, I’m just looking to get myself as comfortable doing this as possible)
ENJOY!
This is what made me get back into reading Manga. Kaiju no. 8, Marriage Toxin, the poetry of Ran, all fantastic works that DON’T TAKE PLACE IN A DAMN HIGH SCHOOL!
I don’t know if it’s like a bunch of people thinking your life ends at adulthood, or just pandering to a easier to please demographic, but what I need is stories that mix shit up!
I want a 35 year old woman, in a childless marriage to become a magical girl against her will! every day her Husband comes home, says “God, I had the worst day with these damn newbies” to which she’s like “…I talk to raccoons now, and their diplomacy with the foxes failed. I’m supposed to be the guardian of coexistence, but I honestly just want to torch everything past that damn tree line” And now he’s sad because he knows that she just wants to go back to her job as a floor manager at the sporting goods store, but it shut down and even if local businesses did pick up new hires, he knows the ever-cave deemed her a part of the reborn council, and now she’s one of a limited few who can calm the souls residing in the sea of trees.
more characters should be 30+ years old
As an avid mentally ill person, who has to read everything I lock eyes with, it’s important for me to over obsess for a new Manga I’ve picked up.
MARRIAGE TOXIN!
It speaks to my love of the crime/thriller genre, cute shit, AND GAY PEOPLE.
You can’t go wrong with picking this one up.
It’s finally released!
And it’s really kool!
They have a Cassandra Cain Multiverse figure up for pre-order!
It’s so confusing that this pre-order goes up just 4 days after the character’s birthday.
They got that close and said “nah”. Just seems like a missed opportunity.
Kind of sad she doesn’t come with a maskless interchangeable head sculpt, granted she’s a cutie with or without the mask.
@dc-reblog-blog makes a good point here-
Dude is crazy scary!
But...
I can fix him!

Hear me out-
McFarlane needs to produce this line for a Multiverse series!
Hey, Kaiju no. 8 fans! Shonen Jump is officially releasing a Kafka Hibino scullcap beanie.
…Or if you will-
…A Kafka Hi-Beanie!
The new Rocket Raccoon Lego thing is quite horrific.
I hate it, but must buy one.
New book…
New Bookmark!
I don’t want to be the person to tell Babs Tarr that her cover for Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #16 isn’t the gayest comic cover to ever be made.
i'm over 2 weeks late but happy 20th anniversary to the Most Important comic book cover of all time. here is my homage
I bought an over priced toy that I had to open. (Not because I wanted to, but because the box is closed of and I wanted to see my toy)
Marvel Legends Space Knight Venom and Mania 2 pack.
I’m not a big Venom fan, But I will buy any Marvel merch based on the comics, in high hopes that they quit beating the dead horse that is the MCU.
I do actually like the initiative to cut down on plastics, and it makes the packaging fell like older collectibles from way back in the day.
But, Man! I miss the window that shows the figures off.
Look at these sculpts!
They even come with little ghost costumes!
Venom ripped his…
I love them, and hopefully buying more crap like this will force Marvel’s hand to make a figure of Itsy Bitsy.
(A man can dream)
