Aug. 10th, 2023 06:50 pmJust felt like doing one of these again!
-ONE SHOW: as I return to my DCU roots, I decided to rewatch & complete "YOUNG JUSTICE" this month, as I never watched the fourth, and for now last, season. I finished the first a few days ago; it is, without a doubt, the best one, and the one I'd recommend without caveats. Quite a few of the show's choices have frustrated me since season 2 and especially season 3 (which committed the cardinal sin of being largely... boring). But it still offers a lot that interests me, and that first season... that first season is impecable and I do recommend it wholeheartedly. Especially if you want to work on building believable, organic group dynamics for your characters; I consider it quite a good reference for one of my original WIPs, in that sense.
-ONE ESSAY: "YOU GET THOUGH. YOU GET EVEN: RAPE, ANGER, CYNICISM, AND THE VIGILANTE GIRL DETECTIVE IN VERONICA MARS" by Alaine Martaus. Quite an interesting piece on one of the best protagonists of our era, IMO. It's barely 10 pages long, all in all, and it's available here in academia(.)edu, where you can make a free acount.
-ONE COMIC BOOK: now that I'm reading other Image titles, I'm thinking back to "PAPER GIRLS", one of my faovurite comics. It's a mystery/sci-fi series following the story of four 12yo newspaper delivery girls from the 80s and their time travel mishaps. It ended a few years ago, with 30 issues total. Amazon started an adaptation, and it was quite good, promising to faithfully adapt the comic's spirit while deviating from it in interesting ways... and ofc it was cancelled right after the first season xDD. But the comic itself is more than worth it!
