Airing Of Grievances In Public Conversation Form (Potentially NSFW or NSF56K)
As much as we all love comics, there are a lot of
really bad things going on in them, or things you might not like.
So yeah, reserve your anger or hate for this thread, talk about happy stuff in other threads!

if you are a fan of comics how can you answer a question like that if you are not into spiderman?

bitching about stuff that ain't even out yet is bad form in my opinion
I think it is supposed to be new bizarro, at least that's what Lobdell hinted at when he was announced as Superman writer. Something about making Bizarro more threatening than just being a childish character.
Gonna make the next OP all grant morrison all the time
i put that in the OP as an example for people to complain about comics they themselves do not like. chill.
Well, that sounds like a wonder--wait a second...
Oh yeah, I know that the character is supposed to be a spin on Bizarro. I was just wondering if there was an in-story justification for the backwards emblem.

Especially their treatment of Barbara Gordon, Cassandra Cain, Stephanie Brown, Vic Sage, Renee Montoya, Wally West, Connor Hawke, Mia Dearden, Ted Kord, Jaime Reyes, Tim Drake, Selina Kyle, Holly Robinson*, Harley Quinn, Dinah Laurel Lance, Helena Bertinelli, Booster Gold, etc., etc., etc.
Fortunately I'm not really following comic news as much anymore, outside of the Spider-man stuff.
Edit: And H'el is a stupid and more senseless 90s grimdark. People actually liked Bizarro, and there's nothing wrong with a character being considered "childish" (and even if there were, Bizarro was still capable of being plenty dangerous in his old form if the story called for it).
*To be fair, Holly was written out before the New 52, but IIRC Catwoman's new origin doesn't feature her at all, implying that she no longer exists. Well, "no longer exists" in the same capacity as some of the other missing characters where she could exist but her storylines and character connections have been wiped out.
the sheer lack of self-awareness at DC is mind-boggling
While ive been told it started really bad, I loved the tail end of the last catwoman series and her child.
1. He's a New 52 character
2. Created by Scott Lobdell
3. His fucking name is H'el
that is three strikes you don't come back from
The sad part is this is probably more accurate when read literally
Otherwise my only real bitch lately ( cause like others have said we just don't know what's gonna happen, even beyond spidey) is that my wallet screams in horror going near the comic store lately, it knows the punishment it's in for.
At the very lowest rung of compliments I have, it is at least better Superman: Grounded and Superman: Earth One (both volumes).
See, that's why I try not to get angry about comics things. It makes you post stuff like that on the internet.
EVERYBODY WANTS TO SIT IN THE BIG CHAIR, MEG!

For instance, I don't buy the idea that Eddie Brock is some kind of dark mirror image of Spider-Man. Brock is just a lousy journalist with a symbiotic entity locked onto him, and there's nothing about that that resonates when contrasted with Peter Parker.
Phil Urich does work as a dark mirror, though. They have similar personal lives and personalities but nonetheless diverge greatly because Urich lacks that bit of moral fiber that allows Parker to overcome hardship rather than use it as an excuse to give in. By looking at Urich, we understand a little more about Parker, and that's what allows Urich to fulfill that dark mirror image thing that you're talking about.

Now, I'll buy that Norman Osborn as the Iron Patriot works as a mirror image of Tony Stark. In so many ways, they're the same. I love stories in which Norman Osborn and Tony Stark go head to head, and I wish that was an ongoing thing.

It comes from the symbiote first bonding to Peter and resenting him for rejecting it

So James Gunn turned out to be terrible
