Bulleteer is funny cause I'd love her a superhero therapist ala Len Samson? (that was her job before she got super-ized) but I also think her book raised a TON of super interesting ideas I'd love to see more deft hands than usual continue, Shining Knight actually ends the run with sequel bait
see also in Bulleteer how Sally Sonic is exposed to Mr. Hyde Evil Formula and so brought into a life of super porn or this bit in Shining Knight where the fairy princess was taken to sheeda world and "passed around the court till it changed her as it does" like seriously it's all over these books

(sorry I get very intense about this stuff because of reasons)
the Eternals are like his oldest enemies? it's a weird bit of canon that tends to get buried but they fought him in the Bronze Age a bunch when he first had to be given his vaunted armor by Deviant smiths in Damascus, before Phastos rent him from the armor like a true Eternal
π Darci got her name from an alt/goth girl Muppet she liked, my name is a corrupted version of Amber cause I like Orange Lantern stuff, Violet's name is a corrupted version of Violator (from Spawn,) Layne is named after Jane Lane from Daria
"Natural selection? there was never anything natural about the mutant gene, you're an experiment, an idea that didn't pan out just like so many other species on so many other dead worlds. You're a weed growing in the celestial garden and we are the thing that rips you from it and salts the earth"
the Eternals were protecting the Earth from the FIRST Mutant threat 100s of years before Apocalypse was ever born, you really think Mr. 2nd Born here has a shot?
π Klarion I think subsequent writers did OKAY things with, honestly I'd love a bolder writer to embrace the witch boi's gender fuckery or have him actually clash with Kirby Klarion (who has just disappeared), I'm not sure I want anyone else touching Bulleteer or Shining Knight
the Eternals, led by Ikkaris
Apocalypse, 2nd mutant born
I feel like these 2 need a proper clash (where the Eternals hand Apocalypse his big blue ass, seriously why do we keep giving this guy everything he wants? remind him of his place at the bottom of the food chain)
π I think some of the others got decent pushes, this is the launch of new Klarion who has thoroughly OBLITERATED his predecessor that no one even remembers anymore & Shilo Norman got some more play, Manhattan Guardian was never seen or heard from again though
π I admit part of this is I'm still a big fan of Johns GL run of Rebirth through Hunt for the Entities, I think it holds up, though yea there's A LOT from the post-IC era that's bad like Titans & Justice League basically never recover
π there's good in this era like I love the Obsidian Age & Burning Martian saga stuff from JLA but things very quickly became equally and badly obsessed with like Superman vs. The Elite? or Pokolistan General Zod? President Luthor & Our Worlds At War
π I can't front, post-infinite crisis/pre-flashpoint is my FAVORITE era of DC, to me it's the one time everything clicked, also yeah post-Zero Hero Green Lantern spent SO long circling the drain, I think DC's biggest thing outside Batman: Hush was like Flash: Rogue War or the JSA comic?
this was SUCH a strange era for DC, the early 2000s post-Marvel's return but before Infinite Crisis was absolutely a crashout era for DC whose 4-5 years of unopposed dominance had led to big series taken over by obscurities like Preus & Gog or over indulgences like Hush or Red Hood
π was going over it again today as part of the realization it's like FROTHING with corruption kink ideas? I genuinely did not realize how much it was all over just about every book in the line (not necessarily a complaint)
help out my boy!

for people seeing a therapist for their mental health for the first time, i think it would be cool if the first session was like Therapy 101: explaining how therapy works, what it can/cannot help with, and how the patient can get the most from it
then get into their specific issues
π I feel like, realistically, it's just going to have to stick around as a trope despite it being so debunked, like just for the sake of keeping the story going
I wonder how Western art will be changed in the future by the fact that we can no longer afford to believe that exposing political corruption or atrocity stops it, that βlight is the best disinfectantβ, or that βraising awarenessβ and βproviding representationβ is an unalloyed good.
and it truly was a 1980s bsky.app/profile/sain...
seriously do the '80s EVER look or feel like this in how they're cultural conceived? bsky.app/profile/sain...

π the '80s is the one that really blows my mind to the point I've started making the admittedly bizarre argument "the '80s didn't happen" because the actual handful of cultural creations we think of as "80s defining" actually aren't? the '80s is SO not what people imagine the '80s as
I've become recently very obsessed with how absolutely spoiled & incorrect cultural memory has become the only truly acknowledged form of the past in this way, like how much of what the '50s was actually like feels banished to the dustbin of history
SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26
NO - 41%
YES - 38%
UNSURE - 21%
π they're SO weirdly unique in how much nothing from that era fits into "the past" or "the never ending present" like '80s franchises live forever, we'll never get rid of Transformers, '60s creations become enshrined cultural heritage but '70s? are we EVER seeing 6 Million Dollar Man again?
π I've always loved how much First Contact further interrogates the lie of the Federation, that this world's sensibilities are "more evolved" when the Borg became their perfect enemy, their perfect justification, the perfect place to put all those ugly nasty feelings the federation can't condone
