think of honey

I really love this poem, but also, I don't know, it definitely feels like a good one for today (this week, this month, this year, this decade).

NS: DC asks if Joker's Batman's soulmate, calls them "toxic BFs"

Something I thought was funny/interesting... the official DC page did a poll asking whether or not Joker is Batman's soulmate and referred to the pairing as being "toxic BFs".

This isn't the first time either, the official Batman page compared Batman and Joker to Netflix's Heated Rivalry. (As a side note, one of the show's leads Connor Storrie has a pretty significant Joker connection in Joker: Folie à Deux.)

Not that I expect this to officially reflect in the comics beyond the usual subtext but it is interesting to see DC embracing it on social media.

Disney on Ice: JLA #57, JLE #33 (JLI 87)

JLA Giffen-DeMatteis-Wozniak, JLE Giffen-Jones-Robertson. Warning for just SO MUCH NYC-based destruction. If you thought JLI #11 had a little imagery that hit different after 9/11, you hadn't seen anything yet.

Inspector Camus comes to the Justice League’s old embassy to find Michael Morice cleaning up. Morice may have been fired some time before the UN shut down the whole Justice League operation, but this was his embassy before that, and he won’t leave it in a state of bloody disorder! Shaking his head, Camus uses the monitor room to contact the League, but the League is in wild party mode in celebration of Max's return. So that’s about as productive as discussing anal-retentive tendencies with Morice. ( Or pacifism with Despero. )

we are learning to make fire

This is a punch-in-the-stomach poem about marriage and is maybe not exactly in keeping with the extremely nice vacation weekend I have run away to the woods to have with my wonderful wife. But also I really love this poem and have wanted to post it all month, so. To me this is still a love poem, in its way.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures Issue 36

The latest issue of TMNT: Saturday Morning Adventures (which you should all be reading, it is a delight and features nods and references to all forms to TMNT canon), features Bebop telling a sick Krang a bedtime story, set in a vaguely fantasy-ish realm.

And, well, it features a cameo from some fellow Saturday morning stars who are even more lost than usual...

Batman #1

"Everyone loves a deeply flawed character with a dark sense of humor… and The Joker’s always been a crowd-pleaser. Happy anniversary to one of the Caped Crusader’s greatest rogues, who made his comic debut in BATMAN #1. Written by Bill Finger, with pencils by Bob Kane, and inks by Bob Kane and Jerry Robinson." -- James Gunn

The wonderful poetryisnotaluxury posted a Joy Sullivan poem today ("On Days I Hate My Body, I Remember Redwoods") and I almost just copied them and posted the same one, because it's so fucking good. But here's a different one, instead.

Yesterday was Shakespeare's (alleged) birthday, so here (a day late, because yesterday was a little bit of a doozy) is a Shakespeare poem! It is also a poem about horses, since I haven't posted one of those yet this year, and is obviously a sonnet.

The Nose Knows Uronq Prgzgl Muqfm: JLA #56, JLE #32 (JLI 86)

JLA Giffen-DeMatteis-Wozniak, JLE Giffen-Jones-Robertson. Unfortunately dated New York imagery by Wozniak (and Giffen?) in 1992.

In the last issue of JLE, that team had just been confronted with the revocation of the whole Justice League International charter.

That concept repeats itself in the beginning of “Breakdowns’” next chapter, in America. ( Pity the misinformed reps sent out to Antarctica. )

Hands clutching their weaponized phones, finding no olive branch to save them because neither side knows what that means anymore." - Geoff Johns, Doomsday Clock
