The current Wonder Woman run's worth readin' just fer Sampere's exquisite art. I couldn't help but turn these four panels inta' a sorta poster.

Who's yer favorite a' those pictured, an' why?

There's a consensus here among anyone with any knowledge related to child development. Don't hit kids. In fact, try gentle parenting an' positive reinforcement.

If ya' hit or support hittin' kids, get the hell out.

What'd ya' think a' Swamp Thing?

(Art sampled from "The Flash" Vol. 6 #6 by Simon Spurrier, Mike Deodato, Jr., Patricia Mulvihill, Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, Chris Rosa, and Paul Kaminski. Edits: Dialogue.)
In comic book panels both Flashes, a.k.a. Barry Allen and Wally West, as well as Linda Park-West, are facing five tall, alien figures, the Arc Angles. Wally says, "Wait, you're saying that you are the reason we evolved? That you seeded life on Earth and directed its evolution?" One of them says, "Correct. We created your world for one purpose: That you might eventually make the 2019 Swamp Thing series. Which you cancelled after one season. As you are guilty of this horrible blasphemy, we will destroy your entire planetary system. Perhaps you think our judgment is too harsh, but you should have thought of that before you cancelled the show. Though, to be fair, the first season could have been better." Another Arc Angle says, "Shut up, Todd! Ugh, you always do this. The show was a masterpiece 4.6 billion years in the making! Every good show takes a season to really find itself! It deserved more!" Wally defends it. A caption reads "A Kilowog-core Edit".

Don't just explore yer gender if ya' feel uncomfortable in yer body, or if ya' see signs ya' might be trans. Explore it anyway!

Try different pronouns, try different styles and fashions, try cross-dressin' or wearin' more femme or butch styles.

Whenever someone asks if Kilowog's a space-cop, normally as some kinda attempt at a gotcha question when I say ACAB, I respond that the Green Lanterns are more like CIA insurgents. Which is worse.

An' that's true!

With current, existin' tech we could build infrastructure within 10 years that'd give everyone in the US food, water, shelter, clothing, electricity, internet, education, healthcare, an' transportation.

In a comic book panel Wonder Girl, a.k.a. Cassie Sandsmark, has a somewhat upset expression on her face. In the background are gears, hexagons, and molecule maps. Wonder Girl says, "So wait. We now have tech able to make basic necessities incredibly cheaply. And with supply that far exceeds demand. But because that would gut profits, capitalists either suppress or corrupt that tech. So we now have a world where technology cannot help us. Because that would be damaging to profits. And we're all just saying that's normal now?" A caption reads "A Kilowog-core Edit".

In a comic book panel Superman, a.k.a. Jon Kent son of Kal-El has his hand on a bald henchman's face, his palm spread. Superman says, "My mind to your mind. Yoiur thoughts to my thoughts." Beside him Nightwing says, "Jon, for the last time, no matter how logical it seems you are not a vulcan. Also, your finger positioning is all wrong. Do you even watch Star Trek?

A silver age comic book PSA is titled "The Policeman is Not Your Friend!" Pete's dog Spotty is missing, and Tom says he should tell Officer Perry, saying cops do more than fight crime. He reminds Pete of times their friend was thrown in a detention camp, when their friend's little sister was arrested at her own birthday party for being black, and when cowardly cops fled a burning school before any of the kids. Tom says to Officer Perry, "Officer, Pete's dog is missing and--" Perry says, "Has he got long, floppy ears, and spots all over him?" Pete says, "Yes, yes that's him! Where is he?"

What comic books make the rest worth it fer ya?

(Art sampled from "Supergirl" Vol. 8 #6. Edits: Dialogue, panel arrangement and transparency.)
In comic book panels a creepy disembodied voice is speaking over scenes from Supergirl's past. It says, "DC writers have made Superman abandon you." The scene shows Superman leaving Supergirl at the Midvale Orphanage. The voice says, "Made you a mindless rage monster." The scene is supergirl as a Red Lantern. The voice says, "Made you a sex symbol while underage." The scene shows her in the bikini Darkseid put her in during Superman/Batman. The voice says, "Even fridged you off." The scene shows her dying during the original Crisis on Infinite Earths. The voice says, "How can anyone enjoy DC comics?" Supergirl holds a flaming sword aloft, surrounded by monsters. She says, "Because now I'm written well. And with very few exceptions, sorry Green Lanterns, so is everyone else. And even in the worse old days, we were heroes.
