Birds of Prey: Worlds Without End: Read The first two arcs of BoP2023 in pretty much one go and am really enjoying them so far. I actually bought the first six or so issues of BoP2023 a while back but gave up on it when Barbara wasn't showing up. It just felt wrong to be reading a BoP book without Barbara in it, and I'm still really bitter about the "Birds of Prey movie" that was actually just a Harley movie (which also made me hesitant about her inclusion here... I'm sorry Harley it isn't your fault DC is putting you everywhere. But I ended up adoring her in the first arc) so I dropped it. But then a while ago I saw... BARBARA GORDON!!!!! on the cover of one of the new BoP issues (Nov 2024 issue, took me a while to get to this lol) and she... actually looked like Barbara??? which was very exciting to me because I will be honest... I'm not a reboot Barbara fan, I'm of course really pissed by them magicuring her, but I also just don't like her new personality and how young she's been made to be. OH I got so distracted. BoP: WWE it was good. I liked it. There was kind of a lot going on all of a sudden but I liked that I thought that was fun. I think Thompson really Gets what makes BoP BoP which makes the series very enjoyable. I do hope in the future we maybe get a Dinah/Babs duo adventure BoP98 Dixon style.... I will have to wait and see.... At the time of writing this a new issue comes out tomorrow, so maybe I can bang out the rest of the series tonight and read that when it comes out :]

Batman+Arsenal: devin grayson how does it feel to be THE roy harper author of all time oh my god. ONE DAY i will own this comic and i will have it signed by her. ONE DAY...

Strange Love Adventures: another anthology! so many anthologies lately lol. i 100% read this one because of "Service" (the alfred comic), but i ended up adoring "In the Name of Love" and "Dinner for Two" as well! Such a solid anthology overall. I'll be keeping an eye out for this one in stores. "Service" was sososo good, necessary alfred reading i feel like, and duke was in it!

DC Pride 2022: mostly solid, i really enjoyed super pride, confessions, think of me, the gumshoe in green, and bat's in the cradle! i even found special delivery quite endearing despite my ever present timbern grudge. i occasionally found the writing to feel kind of lesson-of-the-week kids cartoon special or stilted (public display of electromagnetism stood out in this regard) but i think thats kind of the nature of this sort of thing so i don't begrudge it. ALSO the dialogue change from super pride was a great choice, the original was awkward and kind of ignorant (although people blow it way out of proportion, i've seen people say grayson should have been fired for it like chill), but "when a community's under political attack, it's vulnerable to literal attack" goes hard and i adore damian for it.

Batgirl (2024) #5: great issue!!! and stephcass moment :0 augh i love it dearly. fantastic art as always too :]

Black Canary: Best of the Best #4: significantly better than the past three issues :] this issue really put the past three into perspective and i feel a lot more positively about them now (although shiva is still woefully out of character).

Batman: Gates of Gotham #1: solid first issue. i really like the way it flips between past and present, i'm excited to read more.
