My favourite comic era was the DC early-90s cause comic sales were down across the industry and they needed a way to get those numbers up, so the decision was made to kneecap all their most popular heroes, force them to go through incredibly difficult trials physically, emotionally and mess with how they're perceived by their in-universe friends, loved ones and the general public. Either there was an evil or extreme counterpart that served as a dark mirror image and demonstrated what would happen if these heroes ever went far enough one way. Death of Superman, Knightfall, Emerald Twilight, also the art is just peak. Completely flipping the status quo on its head. I like to think I take that energy into my own writing.

I just wanna put out some stuff I’ve noticed in FF, specifically about The Phantom. I think it’s pretty obvious he’s hardest on himself, there’s an argument for Shigaraki, but his criticisms come from jealousy. The Phantom Stranger’s need for a power structure, a society where the strong rule supreme comes because he has to keep moving, he has to keep pushing himself. I think there’s also a need for a father figure, his idolization of AFO, even if part of it because of AFO’s grooming, comes in part due to his own experience with Graviton. I saw a Zuko edit, very out there, using the line where he states that he believed he’d be happy if he had his fathers approval, and I think that deep down, Y/N feels the same way.

I was thinkin' what the DC version of the Z-Team would look like, character-wise. Not like exact one-for-one's, but more general vibes. Sonar is easy, Man-Bat, no brainer. But for the others, I was thinking: Malevola -> Etrigan, Flambae -> Firely, Golem -> Solomon Grundy (?). Maybe Ravager for Coupe but that doesn't really fit the bird theme. Owl Man would definitely fit better strictly design-wise. I'm pretty confident in those choices, but I'm unsure who I'd put for the others. I could definitely see a Starfire or a Donna Troy being Blonde Blazer. Not entirely sure who I'd have for the rest of the team though. I get big Wildcat vibes from Punch Up but I don't want to enable small king erasure in media. Having them be b or c-list characters with corresponding powers or designs is tricky.

Ngl I'm curious as to what my Quirk would be 

@minesweeper0 well venom is now taking the form of Spider-Man and Mary Jane and venom make there debut by ripping off the opening dialogue from Sam raimi Spider-Man 1

I noticed you changed the cover art for vagabond, any reason in particular? Just curious.

Hmm. Don't know how I felt about the Dispatch ending (and I know it's based on my own choices but a lot of the endgame choices felt vague or arbitrary). But everything else was phenomenal. Great cast, great animations, well-written. 
          
          I don't think it's as strong as the Walking Dead season one or the Wolf Amongst Us narratively, but a solid successor nonetheless. But I wanna know what you guys thought, cause my opinion is slightly coloured by my dissatisfied ending.

Holy Rogue...

Good chance new Fundamental Force chapter comes out tomorrow. 
          
          Just gotta do the last 1k words and then re-read it, and we good...

I just did something unfathomable. Absolutely atrocious. Horrendous really.
