Comics Wrap-Up - I'm All About Those Existential Crises

It's Thursday, the UK is on its fourth prime minister in six years (anyone for a fifth?), let's get us some comics-y superhero-y goodness!

Because Comics

From Comic Book Resources (CBR) we have two instances of comics being utterly batpoop and random.

...because comics and the 90s were a mixture to behold, tbh.

First up, Devon Lord-Moncrief tells us about the time that Spider-Man's dentist tried to kill him...

- which led to Peter Parker having an existential crisis due to the amount of people from his private life who'd become villains. It's not a great track record, really.

...It's a legit. point, and you know I'm all about those existential crises. 😅

Next, Brian Cronin tells us all about Wonder Woman's career at a knock-off version of Taco Bell called 'Taco Whiz.'

Apparently after some *waves hands* superhero shenanigans involving being in outer space, Diana was declared dead - meaning she's lost her apartment, savings, and presumably library card.

So... girl's gotta pay the bills, I guess!

The best thing here, though, is apparently she's not hiding behind her Diana Prince alter-ego - she's being Wonder Woman the whole time. 

She's just outright stood there in the middle of 'Taco Whiz' - in her employee uniform, yes, but paired with her superhero tiara 😂😂😂

(Hollywood directors: please make Gal Godot do this; I'm not the only person who would pay to see that!)

Clearly, none of us have been giving crack fanfiction authors the serious respect they deserve 😅

Some Graphic Novel Lists

• Rachel Brittain @ Book Riot gives us this list of Space Fantasy (like fantasy, but in space,) comics and graphic novels.

• Also @ Book Riot, Jamie Canaves gives us a list of standalone (i.e. not part of a series,) graphic novels

Shameless Self-Promo Time!

• Over on Medium you can check out the latest on the legal case against Maia Kobabe's graphic memoir Gender Queer here and see what I didn't like about the first episode of She-Hulk here

...or you can see both in last week's CWU right here on Dora Reads

• Last week's Friday Fics Fix had a ghost story with Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson here

• And you can catch up on all my Dora Reads posts - including the superhero-y ones - in my August wrap-up post here

Comics Wrap-Up is taking a break next week, and will be back on 22nd September 2022

Should Peter Parker be worried about how many of his acquaintances turn out to be villains?

Is Wonder Woman working at a taco shop just amazing?
