comics [what I see/what fandom sees edition]
red robin 17
I see Cass Cain in an awesome new suit that suits her better than the Batgirl suit (though I still adore her as Batgirl), kicking butt with Tim Drake and giving me hope for future Cass in the Bat titles even if it won't be as Batgirl.
I also see two men -- a father and a son, if you like -- who love each other a whole hell of a lot even if they suck at expressing it, hugging after being separated for a year during which one of them was lost in the time stream and the other was desperately searching for a way to prove guy number one wasn't dead.
Fandom sees Cass Cain rejecting the Bat symbol. It sees Bruce Wayne's crotch saying hello to Tim Drake's crotch. Yes, darlings, those are two men embracing their emotions and each other, front to front, and they both have crotches. Believe me, it happens all the time.
ARE WE ALL TWELVE YEAR OLD BOYS HERE OR WHAT

I see Carol Ferris being awesome and getting a life and pwning Hal Jordan's face; I see a young black girl saved from yet another tasteless, pointless potential rape scene by her own inner strength; I see Soranik Natu using constructs shaped like her physician's instruments to rescue a fascinating, endangered deep space creature from space poachers; I see Bleez (one of my fave Red Lanterns) joining the Arisia/Killowog/Gardner team-up of AWESOME, thereby making it even more awesome.
I also see three white-guy Lanterns (Jordan, Gardner and Rayner) with their own titles, and no sign of John Stewart, even though lip service has been paid to him sharing the main title with Hal. Right. Johns can kiss my ass, Jordan can drop dead again, and they can give the main title to Stewart, because he pwns both their pasty white asses. *grumble*
Fandom sees Jordan's, Gardner's and Rayner's manpain, and, apparently, tits.

Oh wow, I am blind to everything but Kon's awesomeness and my hopes for this promising new title. Also, Kon's friend who teaches frogs to OBEY HIS EVERY COMMAND and knows Kon is Superboy? ♥♥♥ Damn, I love science geeks, and I sense another new friendship coming on. Because I think Bart Allen and Simon Valentine together in the same vicinity would rock like a rocking thing. Kon needs to introduce them.
I also see what I consider to be a kind of cool continuity between Superboy and Robin's first teamup against Ivy and Metallo, and having Kon's first adventure in his new title involve Ivy. It feels like we've come back around, and for me, it's a good feeling.
No real idea what fandom sees (not enough feedback yet) but I'm betting the slashers see a depressing lack of Tim Drake as well as Kon and said science geek friend trapped in plant tentacles. As I said, not sure, but I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is.
Hmn, I need a Kon icon. Brb, digging through image files.
