I want to cuddle jessica and tell her all will be well
I have anxiety problems as bad as Jessica does and reading this always makes me feel a little better. I think this issue is going to be part of my anti-panic attack routine.
I'm sure this makes me a beta cuck degenerate attention whore, but I wanted to say that anyway.
>>89224128
as long as you don't namefag it's ok
>>89224150
A crush? maybe. Def looks like he has a boner.
>>89224087
>Her bed is just a mattress
J-just like me!
Really liking how they're giving Jessica her unique energy signature. They stopped doing it with John and the other GL but it's a nice distinction for these two.
>>89224201
Poor Simon.
>>89224256
T-they're not gonna make these two end up together right? They're too good for each other!
>>89224256
Kiss pls
now kiss
>>89224236
Isn't this anxiety+ depression? Because I don't think this is all just anxiety.
JLvSS: >>89224270
Thanks for reading. Support the official release!
>>89224268
Lmao, they are so excited.
>>89224275
One often causes the other
>>89224287
Idk in my experience one just makes it worse for the other. There isn't really cause and effect with mental disorders. Then again that's just me going thru this shit and I am not an expert on the matter.
What Jess is going through really hits me close to home.
>>89224150
>Does the flash have a crush on me?
MY SHIP STILL HAS HOPE
>>89224349
No anon, Simon is best boy. I dont see Barry making anyone pancakes.
>>89224201
Simon is best boy
>>89224150
HE FUCKING WENT THERE THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN
>>89224150
Are they only saying that to make her feel better?
>>89224455
No, they mean it.
The point is that even getting told you did a good job by fucking Superman will ring hollow if you let the fear in. It also juxtaposes the next scene.
>>89224125
>>89224141
>>89224161
>Simon's constructs are solid with defined straight edges

I dig it
I want to see Jess get over her fear of guns to come out as a gun nut herself

If the next arc doesn't have all three of them eating Alfred's pancakes, I'm rioting.

Blunder of the year
>>89224532
She was a gun nut before.
>>89224262
She is for Barry, that would ruin their bromance
>>89224537
Its always night in gotham that could also be what he needs it for
>>89224580
She went hunting once.
>>89224537
Its always gloomy night time in Gotham
>>89224349
He's getting with Iris now so ship sinking.
>>89224269
>>89224564
Please no, fuck this shitty trope
>>89224262
Decently written platonic male/female relationships are so rare in fiction, I certainly don't want to lose one of the best new ones out there.
>>89224739
You just know that one writer is gonna come along and turn this into something romantic.
>>89224250
>>89224256
I didn't expect a late night ride on the Feels Express.
>>89224087
wow if i was her i would never sleep with the ring off.
or does that make your dreams come out and attack things?
>>89224803
Hopefully.
>>89224128
I'm with you manthough my anxiety isn't nearly as bad as hersfight the good fight.
>>89224236
Now this shit I relate too. Though not so much the I'M going to be the one to fail part as much as I tend to think the worst will happen in general.
>was this lump here before
>i bet it's cancer
>what if I can't afford the medical bills
>i'll lose my job
>lose house
>become homeless
>die alone on street
that kinda.....externally I guess? based anxiety.
>>89224262
I really hope not. It's nice when men and women are allowed to just be best friends without a romantic subplot.
>>89224262
I'm not the only one who thinks about it.. With rebirth is impossible make her flash couple.
>>89224161
Good thing the intergalactic police force is only helping in the US of A
>>89224116
I thought she quit the league.
>>89224079
Arthur's front and center on two other series' variants this week, nice!
>>89224269
Nope, we're getting a well written platonic relationship between two friends, we don't need to ruin it
I want to hug Jessica!
>>89224268

>>89224161
hey, Blue Valley, nice
>>89224236
fantastic page desu
>>89224268
love Jess fangirling
>>89224609
And she had a shotgun in her appartment in Forever Evil. That's at least 2 long guns she owned. And she lives in the American North-west, isn't that libertarian gun country?
>>89226297
Not really no.
>>89226297
Not Portland, no.
That's the hipster capital of the country.
Fun issue, learned a lot about anxiety here
Also; >>89224492
>>89224244
Dat camel toe effect
>>89224537
It could just be overcast.
>>89226740
Or get this: A scene from a later time.
>>89224087She shouldn't be a GL if she doesn't even have enough willpower to get out of bed every morning.
Thanks, this issue was pretty cute.
>>89224268
I sure hope they end up arguing. Batman and Green Lanterns hating each other is pretty much tradition.
>>89227415
Kyle and John didn't hate Batman, Hal and Bruce also didn't "hate" each other, Bruce took it the hardest when Hal turned Parallax. Only GL that doesn't like Batman is Guy I guess.
>>89224173
>>89227452
Fine maybe hate was a strong word, but Batman and Lanterns are notorious for getting into arguments and disagreements. The only exception to this is Kyle.
>>89227564
i was waiting for this
>>89227581
I mean Batman argues with everyone but then yeah I get what youre saying.
>>89224173
IT'S HIGH NOON
>>89224079
Dat Jess tho.
>>89224150
>small hint at the BarryxJessica ship being alive even if the main Flash book is setting him up with Iris again once and for all
EVEN NOW THERE IS HOPE LEFT IN MAN
>>89224256
Simon truly is turning into best boy. Who would've thought that Dogfucker would've given him the personality he needed so desperately.
I didn't ask for these feels Dogfucker
>>89224222
Jesus, too real.
Damn, right now it's my fav DC ongoing series.
Is this that good or is the rest that bad?
>>89228569
Question: Who is Dogfucker and why do people refer to him by that?
>>89224184
guy with anxiety disorder here. Having an attack pretty much does go down like that.
But, if you were at work or so, you'd then try to break down your actions into tiny steps and go through them in a conscious manner. That way you can at least keep working while your mind freezes down. I guess Jess is not at that part yet.
For me it sometimes gets as bad as "put left foot forward, then the right foot, then the left foot again" etc., but then I'm an agoraphobic. Getting up at the morning is not a problem, getting out of the house is.
>>89227113
She has the GL ring because she DOES get out of bed every morning.
>>89228909
Dogfucker is the writer, Humphries
I have zero idea where the name comes from
>>89228909
The writer, Sam Humphries
He once wrote a comic where people and animals can love each other or some shit and had a panel where a man lovely held his dog
Thus the name Dogfucker stuck
>>89224173
Oh that is a DELIGHTFUL villain
>>89224161
In one page, the GLs have done more championing than the Champions.
Thank you for the storytime.

MY GIRL JESSICA CRUZ
>>89224128
I like Jess, it helps that she's written like an actual person rather than a series of checkboxes.
>>89224161
>Saving those dogs
Frank taught them something
This is one of the more realistic portrayal of anxiety I have seen
Bravo dogfucker, I am impressed
>inb4 tumblr
>>89224256
Simon is truly best boy
>>89224128
I'm with you dude. Shit's downright inspiring
>>89228563
I wish I had mad computer skills so that I could edit that big Simon in the back to being Jessica
>>89224537
gotham is actually cast in a rancid, dense, black, carcinogenic smog, easily 100 times worse than china.
>>89232308
>anxiety is now tumblr
I fucking hate the internet
>>89224268
I wanted to hate this issue. I was like I get Humpries Jessica has anxiety no need to narrate it every single time, but the issue was about Jessica's anxiety and how it doesn't magically goes away. After the initial issues this book has been aces.
>>89224455
Nah, Superman would probably plow through the submarine itself if he tried to catch it while it was falling at high speeds.
>>89224256
>When you make those you care about worry to the point of going out of their way to help you
>tfw it only makes you feel worse for being a burden
Sometimes I just want to kill myself but I know that they'd suffer if I did.
>>89224236
>>89224222
Dang, that hit uncomfortably close to home
So are Simon and Jessica the GL equivalent of Kamina and Simon? One pulls out abilities out of his ass and has tons of energy while the other is full of self doubt but is hiding true bravery at every turn. I like it, it's always a good dynamic.

I wish my anxiety would get REBIRTHED
>>89236957
>you will never be hired by DC and work out with Didio and Doug Mahnke
>>89224049
... I still don't like the idea of a Green Lantern with crippling anxiety.
I get that it's a special alternate-reality ring which goes for people with low willpower to control them, which she somehow managed to beat down.
But it's still retarded.
>>89237463
Well if you feel better GL rings scan for people with the POTENTIAL to overcome great fear. So you can use that to rationalize it.
>>89237463
The rings aren't exactly that selective if we're being honest. There was an alien chicken that was in an insane asylum that got a ring because it was too stupid to know what fear was.
>>89237463
it's a normal ring
and this issue is LITERALLY all about her overcoming great fear. The fact that her great fear is getting out of bed in the morning doesn't make her fear any lesser or scary to her than Hal's or Guy's fears are to them
>>89224267
NO! Badship.
Only Hal dates inside the corps.
>>89238839
didn't Kyle and Soranik date for a while
>>89224141
>If I got out of bed today, I can do this.
Best girl.
>>89224150
Yes, yes, yes please, they need to let them to be together, they belong each other.
>>89240194
You are aware Barry is already dating someone right?
>>89240228
OTPfags don't care about canon
>>89234060
nah, Supes extends his bioelectric field to prevent things like that. Kon's tactile telekinesis was an ofshoot of that ability,
>>89237201
Not with that attitude.
>>89224087
Literally the most relateable superhero.
>>89224236
Jesus, finally they portray anxiety with some fucking craft.
In theory, the idea of a superhero with anxiety is great but dear God have they been botching most of it.
>>89224268
>Issue 16
>Already need Batman to carry book
At least it's not I, Vampire kind of desperation. They did wait for the third tbp for this.
I want Jessica to meet Saint Walker
>>89224371
No fuck you Baz and Bleez
>>89224049
Thank you
>>89240228
I know but unless bring back the marriage and Bart I will ship him with Jess (and actually anyway I prefered him with Paty at the beginning of the NEW-52).
>>89224173
So in the world full of Kryptonians, lanterns, speedsters, this guy decides to be a supervillain with the power of owning a gun.
>>89224236
Rich Swann left an impression on Jess, she REALLY can't handle this.
>>89224256
>I can't believe you're seeing me in my jammies right now
HHHHNNNNGG Jessica is too cute.
Man this shit got me right in the feels.
I like how nearly everyone in this thread is cheering her on. As someone who suffers from anxiety, this has given me the warm feelies. Thank you, everyone.
I wasn't expected this.
It's too fucking good.
>>89241269
No fuck you, Bleez and... Rankorr, wasn't it? Whatever happened to that guy?
>>89224095
This page is giving me hardcore deja vu
>>89228063
Iris is endgame and they're making that clear but the recent solicit sounded like they might have a hiccup in their current relationship so we might still get Jessica & Barry for a bit
On one hand I do agree that it's very nice that they have such a great friendship and buddy mechanic going on and by god do I want it to stay forever
On the other hand for fuck's sake they're too cute together, I need to punch something to drown out the part of me wanting the kiss.
So does Baz and Jessica even have a normal job? Seems like they are full time Green Lantern.
>>89224194
>>89224201
>green boxing glove
Hal has taught him well.
This was really nice, but I can't help but feel closer to Simon's situation. I don't have anxiety but damn do I know a lot of people who do. Wish I could pull the pancake stunt.
>>89238879
Did they?
Because Jade is what broke them up...but Jade doesn't currently exist.
So who the fuck knows what's canon and what isn't with Kyle. He's the ONLY fucking Lantern who got hit by the reboot truck.
>>89249781
Because he was kind of a mess before that.
>>89249491
Don't all JL members get a pay check from Bruce?
>>89224250Does this mean Simon has a key to her house, or did he just Will Power a lockpick?
>>89233166
It wouldn't make too much sense considering the context
