09:17 pm [sandoz_iscariot] [Link]	Fantomah from Jungle Comics #7. More insanity from Fletcher Hanks, this one featuring my favorite of his creations, Fantomah. ( when a flaming disembodied skull with blonde hair tells you not to do something, don't fucking do it ) (note to mods: the comic is in the public domain, so I'm posting the complete story.)

02:27 pm [kali921] [Link]	Dark Reign: The Hood #1 - now with 75% more racism! Ever since it was announced that Jeff Parker would be scribing the Dark Reign: The Hood mini I've been wondering -- wondering with a sense of terrorized fascination, I should add -- what it was going to be like. Would Parker be able to make the Dormammu!Hood actually seem like a worthy and viable contender to be the Sorcerer Supreme? CBR has an eight-page preview up. I now have my answer, and it's a resounding silence fraught with puzzlement and horror. Because you know what I didn't expect from Jeff Parker's work on this mini? Straight up racial stereotyping that slides down the slippery slope straight into the ditch of racist tropes. ( Four pages from Dark Reign: The Hood #1. Now with 75% more racefail! ) ...Wow. You know what? Kyle Hotz's art only makes this worse. I can't even believe that Parker wrote this. I love Parker's choice of characters for this; the liberal use of cracky B- and C-listers is very much appreciated. But I really do think that he's made some poor choices as a writer in this particular sequence.

04:39 pm [wonderwomanhero] [Link]	Jynx: My Favorite Pokemon Part 1 This is one of my rather unusual posts. I bring you Jynx, who is undoubtably one of my FAVORITE pokemon ever! Let's start with the controversy she evokes. ( Jynx: Her history behind the cut. ) Tags: in-joke: crack, in-joke: wtf, medium: manga, theme: racism, title: pokemon (12 comments \| Leave a comment)

01:43 am [kasumi_sora] [Link]	The Death Patrol #3 and #5 By Military Comics #3 "The Death Patrol" has fallen to the back pages, appearing as the last story in the issues. This is Jack Cole's last time on the title. ( Gotta love that Zazzy! ) In #4 Dave Berg has taken over Death Patrol. At the start of the issue he brings in Chief Chuck-a-Lug. In #5 he will bring in King Hotentot and a long time Patrol member doesn't make it back. See in under the cut! ( Noooo! Not-not-!!!! ) Stay Tuned! In our next episode Hitler sends out women to seduce the boys! We also meet Boris the Borsht Eater. (So not for dial-up) Tags: creator: jack cole, era: golden age, group: death patrol, status: public domain, theme: racism, title: military comics (8 comments \| Leave a comment)
