also, can I get a show of hands of folks who are actually Carol Danvers fans?

and I don't mean " she a'aight, I mean-"

I mean CAROL DANVERS!" fans.

I liked her when she was Ms Marvel and before Marvel decided that she was going to be their version of Wonder Woman.
Now I don;t give much of a damn about her either way.

Batman & Robin Eternal was good...I am intrigued by this Mother and Orphan stuff; they introduced Cassandra Cain who promptly kicked dikk Grayson's ass; and I liked seeing all 3 former Robins working together.

Cyborg was good. I swore that the big reveal was going to be another version of Vic so they got me with the swerve plus it featured a guest appearance by the Metal Men whose new designs are spiffy.

Omega Men...praise be to whoever made the decision to let this book continue

Telos #1 was ass. WHo the fukk was looking for a Telos solo book? And the whole issue was basically him making Brainiac his bytch.

I liked Paper Girls #1...the whole concept was intriguing and I am eager to see where it goes.

We Stand on Guard continues to be one of the better looking books on the market but this latest issue was kinda average.

Southern b*stards #11 was good too. Coach Boss is gonna have problems when Brother Boone finally comes rolling out of the woods to kick some ass.

you are!?

Yes I am, and although I feel that her true potential is only ever seen sporadically (both in terms of her superhero abilities but also character/personality wise) I enjoy her books a lot and always read them first.

Im really not a fan of the character, but I'll give the stories a shot since you feel like that

I don't think I have found anything done with Carol to be compelling since her drinking days in Busiek's Avengers.

Yeah, like I said, they never really get the most out of the character but I feel she's a character that's just waiting to have that definite break-out.

To piggy bag on that Carol discussion, what are yall's top 5 superheroines?

I mean characters that yall actually F with off the strength of their own merit and not, for example, b/c she's simply dating/fukkin a favorite male character of yours.

Storm
Wonder Woman
Emma Frost (Even though she's batshyt and on that , she's one of the more interesting written female characters. Hero, antihero, otherwise.)
Vixen (like her powers, black excellence, underrated character)
Black Cat

Honorable mentions: Zatanna, Power girl/Supergirl, Black Canary, Harley Quinn?

Im replacing Black Canary with Storm

 

[Primetime]

It's interesting because at one point Storm was more popular than even WW but since the Claremont X-Treme X-Men days of like, 2002 (?) all she's really been known for is being a victim of T'Challa's #HOH movement and being Wolverine's thot. I'm a big fan of the concept of Storm but i feel she's been damaged goods status since AvX and hasn't had much purpose since she was leading Bishop, Sage, Rogue and crew in X-treme.

I did think DC was doing a good job with

• Wonder Woman (before the writer changed, idk bout now)
  
• Supergirl (just before they oddly canceled it)
• Batgirl
  
• and Harley Quinn

as far as superheroines that you could pick up and even if it's not your particular cup of tea (neither Batgirl nor Harley are mine) you could still find some amusement/enjoyment just off the strength of the characters.
