ITT: Reveals that shocked you.
I was shocked by how bad this was.
>>85216915
Transgenders never look like this. They all still look mannish in some way.
>>85216915
y'know more I think about it Batgirl's backpacking trip in the Rebirth book is a brilliant idea, it's unoriginal as shit but it's cuts the pages her awful supporting cast have been eating up in the last two runs.
No we need someone to get Harley out of Brooklyn.
>>85216915
>>85217268
Waid really should've ended his run there.
Past that point it was clear he used up all his ideas for Murdock trying to get a new viewpoint on living and just started coming up with shit as he was going along.
>>85216915
>yo, the joker did some shit to me
>babs I have a penis
what was the context here? what does that have to do with anything?
>>85217537
I guess the point was that Babs wasn't only one with secrets that are hard to be open about?
>>85217537
Trans people have the inherent need to make everything about themselves.
>>85216915
Gail Simone's post-Flashpoint breakdown was kind of amazing to watch.
>>85217537
Most likely the author thought she was being smart by breaking the fourth wall here and reminding folks that transgender people are at high risk of being killed IRL.
Of course that falls flat because Babs' been prattling about how a fictional boogeyman in her fictional universe once temporarily inconvenience her.
>>85217597
>>85217629
>>85217759
so what happened afterwards then?
did babs ask to see it?
did we get any kind of story as to how this character came to be trans?
or did they just go
>I'm trans
and it was left at that?
>>85217796
I don't know. I was reading it on the shitter at the comic book store I work for, I promptly wiped my ass with the comic after reading that page and flushed it down the toilet.
>>85217796
>and it was left at that?
Everything was retconned. That's how it always ends.
>>85217396
hah!
>>85217325
Mfw
>>85217325
It depends on how young they were and how much surgery they have.
>>85216915
This final panel of the new mockingbird revealed something that hit me pretty hard.
>>85217993
I'm curious about what would happen if a boy was given female hormone treatment since he was a child.
>>85216915
Woah... what a twist. Not that surprising, I wouldn't be surprised if the red hair girl was a man too, since all western girls look like men in western art for some reason.
>>85218077
Wow...it really makes you think.
>>85217325
If they start young the effects of them really being a man is as obvious, and make-up can do almost anything if they become adapt in the practise.
>>85218096
Serina Valentina started hormones at ~13 and he still doesn't look that good.
>>85218077
The ingenious part is that they put subtle hints of this throughout the comic. You probably need to read it through a couple of times before you notice them.
>>85218207
>>85218234
>>85218251
>just rescued several people from falling to their deaths
>GET ME SOME FUCKIN BOOZE, PRONTO
Not even Tony Stark is this thirsty, damn
>>85218207
>>85218234
>>85218251
This is making me think so hard right now.
>>85218077
Am I looking for Loss?
>>85218096
Both these people are trans, they transitioned in their mid teens i think. Sex hormones guide development of secondary sex characteristics, so if you do hrt early you transition for real.
>>85218482
Nice try, Klinger, but you're not going back to Toledo.
serious question(s)
how well did comics like this sell?
is this all mostly being written by one person?
because this feels so... unfocused on selling to anybody other than a specific market of people, most of which aren't going to physically purchase it
so it makes me wonder how it's still going
>>85218335
Not this time.
>>85216915
Who knew an old norse god was an MRA? really fleshes out his backstory.
>>85218783
Might as well replace that with a Moonman song lyrics.
Would make about as much sense and be slightly funnier.
>>85218945
>tfw called it
Feels good.
>>85216915
What did he mean by this?
>>85218482
A female taking tesosterone will always wind up looking like a dude. It's one hell of a hormone.
That "girl" still has a mannish face.
>>85216915
It really threw me for a loop when Redskull was revealed to be a good guy.
>>85218945
Was he supposed to be retarded? Because he really came off that way.
Would make sense. The company mentally handicaps him thinking it would make more controllable, but it fails.
>>85219874
I don't know much about Red Skull. Is this really any different from the way he normally is?
>>85220039
Not really. Swaying the disenfranchised masses to his side using genuinely convincing arguments and then screwing them over when they're no longer useful is basically his entire MO.
>>85216915
>I'm transgender, Barbara.
>I was born as a Austrian man. I got involved in some things that got too hot to handle, and I moved to South America with some of my friends.
>Some of them were great scientists. They made me young again, made me so I would never get old. And when I asked them to, they made me a girl. I realized everything I had done was about that. I had always wanted to be a girl. Not being allowed to have it filled me with so much anger.
>My deadname? Adolf Hitler.

I don't get it
Someone post "Bobby you're gay" I don't have it
>>85220039
Apparently claiming that you'd actually vote a known Anti-American terrorist who has been attempting to destroy the USA for over seventy years in a row into the White House is the new edge.
>>85220315
Here you go, buddy.
>>85216915
>>85218518
Pffft, haha! Oh, my. I actually laughed out loud.
>>85220168
>>85219735
Not too mannish for me, dog.
>>85216915
This was nice.
>>85218207
Why the fuck does cyclops have two lenses on his visor?
He's not a fucking cyclops then, is he?
>>85221918
Little known fact: Cyclops went through a short phase where he changed his name to Four-Eyes.

Nobody buys comics anymore, especially with sites like readcomicsonline.
I only buy 2000 ad and hardback editions of comics I've already read.
>>85218325

>Nobody buys comics anymore
Comic shops do and they're the ones that matter to the folks producing them. Dealing with comic shops exclusively means that they don't have to give two shits about the quality or the content.
