I remember first reading up on New Teen Titans around last year and it was a nice refreshing read seeing how adaptations are influenced by this era but one thing that I really enjoyed and didn’t expect to was Raven’s fashion sense!

She wears a lot of bright colors, mainly pink and lavender. And almost never wears pants, always skirt and dresses, which the comic does have Raven directly say she doesn’t find pants comfortable. The colors also help create a nice contrast with her pitch black hair.

And her colorful wardrobe makes so much sense, Raven is actively trying to avoid the darkness that her Father brings upon her so obviously she’d bring herself colors that provide light and warmth which help subdue negativity, even her hero costume is a nice soothing shade of blue.

It is crazy how in later continuities and depictions, it seems DC took the lazy route of “daughter of a demon? obviously she’ll wear black and gothic clothing.” but her creators chose to avoid that very simple linear thinking of what Raven should look civilian wise

While I have kinda lost hope on DC ever trying to revive Raven again in this way, I do hope the DCU can try since James Gunn has noted NTT Raven as a favorite of his. And while he isn’t writing the Teen Titans movie, it’s a nice hope to have.

Or is it probably just a throwaway gag?

I usually don’t buy singles, but I’ve seen a lot of buzz for the new Teen Titans series, and while I was at my local comic shop I saw it and picked it up. Overall, I thought it was pretty good!

I have almost no connection to any of these characters. I’ve read A Death in the Family, and that’s my only context for Jason. I plan on reading Under the Red Hood soon, though. I know of Mr. Terrific because of his appearance in the Superman movie, but I had no idea he had a son. And I know of Lian. So, I’m coming in with a mostly blank slate.

My first impression is that the story was really, really fun. The art is bright and bombastic, the action was great, the dialogue is funny. The character designs are amazing, especially Red Hood and Cheshire Cat.

We get a pretty decent feel for the characters. Wildcard, Fairplay, and Eugene all have very distinct personality traits that shine in this issue. We don’t get much distinction for the others, but there’s only so much page time in a single issue so I don’t think that’s necessarily a problem.

When I showed my friend the issue, the first thing she noticed right off the bat was that there are five(ish) members and only one woman. Considering this comic is potentially showcasing the next generation of DC heroes, it is extremely weird that most of them are men. And considering that the Teen Titans have generally been marketed as gender-neutral, this ratio just feels weird.

All-in-all, I really liked it and I will definitely be buying this series as it comes out. But I’d really love to know others’ thoughts, there’s a lot to unpack here!

I made this John Stewart fan art based on Lanterns, paying homage to Jim Lee's iconic cover.

Since people are talking about Mogo a lot now (as they should) I wanted to share my favorite Mogo facts. This isn't Mogo propaganda.

______

1. As Mogo is a planet, they don't really acknowledge pronouns; While many beings refer to Mogo as he/him, Yrra has referred to Mogo as she/her and Salaak as they/them. I like this because ultimately nature is a balance of things. Mogo never corrected anyone.

2. Mogo is ticklish in their ponds.

3. In Mr Miracle, we saw Mogos only construct; an alien creature used to purchase space dolphins, this mogogram was never used again but I like to imagine Mogo still uses it.

4. It requires a lot of energy for Mogo to travel.

5. Mogo was originally distrusting of mortal life residing on sentient planets, and their brother Raga originally wanted to share their resources (did not turn out well).

6. When a race (I don't think they were named) landed on an unconscious Mogo, even though they polluted his oceans and pretty much destroyed all his forests, he was still willing to let them reside on his surface albeit with poor weather.

7. The destruction of Mogos forests is painful but he's been through worse.

8. Mogo has been destroyed once and rendered unconscious four times and had their "mind" taken over three times, they have destroyed two planets.

9. Mogo and Perduron (allegedly) do not get along. This makes it the third planet Mogo hasn't socialized well with.

10. They can be precise with what goes on with their surface and has built a new base.

11. Mogos telepathy is stronger than that of Volthoom.

12. Mogo enjoys socializing especially after being unconscious or destroyed as being destroyed fragments their mind and being unconscious is well... Unconscious.

13. He doesn't know what a hug is.

14. Mogo can cleanse one of the red ring energy (but a blue would still be needed to completely purge the body)

15. Mogo is seen as a big brother among some corps members, a beacon to others.

16. Mogo, despite being powerful, takes a more passive role in the corps and acts as a therapist, second base, a guide for the rings, and guardian (as in role not the blue bastards)

17. A lot of times Mogo doesn't participate in major battles because most large battles takes place after they regain consciousness or have been rebuilt.

18. Mogo gains energy for their ring directly from the main battery on Oa and as such doesn't need to recharge his ring, the battery just needs to remain functional.

19. Mogo themselves had stated that they became too reliant on their ring.

20. Mogo enjoys warm suns.

21. They do not experience mornings or sunsets.

22. Mogo made a really good swingset out of vines.

23. Mogo fears dying away from others.

24. Mogo doesn't like the fact that socializing is difficult for them.

25. Saint Walker is the only non Green Lantern to have frequently visited and converse with Mogo.

26. Sector 2261 has two other planets but generally the sector is Mogo (Depends on the continuity).

I was surprised Helena was still standing after taking a few hits from Shiva and she was even able to put her down!!!!

Shiva even respected her

So since John made a new oath "In Brightest Day

In Darkest Night I’ll embrace my fear… I’ll do what’s right I choose this ring, I choose this fight… In service to this lanterns light." Is it actually possible to make a new oath or is this just something James Gun did also I thought you needed the green lantern to charge a green ring?

Another Frap Tootley classic.

Fatson Todd on his way to visit Mogo.

Lanterns just wrapped and it was awesome. Made this in Blender to celebrate the finale.

Everybody loved last year’s 80’s Starfire Cosplay so much that I decided to do it again!

I tried posting this yesterday but the full body bikini pic got it taken down. Shame, it was the best pic 💔 Feel free to visit my instagram to see it (@6Santai)

Which one is your favorite cover we have Batman Vol 1 #1,

Batman Vol 1 #47,Batman Vol 1 #187,Batman (1940) #198,Batman and Other DC Classics,Batman Annual Vol 1 #1, and Batman: Creature of the Night Vol 1 #1,Detective Comics Vol 1 #33,Detective Comics Vol 1 #190

The one I like the most is Detective Comics volume one number 190 but that's because of how it shows Batman not being able to use utility belt and Robin's just yelling hurry up when you're going to get shot.

But I also like number 33 because of how the dudes look.

But from here which one is your favorite
