glamour-ghouls:

after becoming friends with the guy who works at the comic store in my new town, one of the first things i asked him was how hawk and dove sold

he said it only sold one or two issues, but all the other #1s made bank

and then we both laughed in satisfaction

puppytube: POWER DRIVE A: HOT-BLOODED ACTION ANTHOLOGY POWER DRIVE A! is a a comics anthology of shonen and seinen-inspired work that I (Audrey Morris) will be compiling, printing and distributing both at cons and online. It is open to any and all creators who are interested in contributing a story. I’ve made several zines in the past but this one is going to have a color cover (by me), and will be 8x11, and with the help of impassioned contributors, will be totally balls awesome. Here are a few details: ANY KIND OF STORY WITH ANY KIND OF CHARACTERS IS ALLOWED. And obviously it does not have to be in a manga style if that is not the style you draw in. It can be ANYTHING, as long as you incorporate hot-blooded awesomeness. Wanna do a robot story? Go for it! Wanna do a yankii thing? Go for it. Wanna do something completely different? Go for it, I am open to anything. Submissions may be between 2 and 10 pages long. If you want more pages, let me know, I will probably let you do that. There is nothing wrong with a nice beefy zine. Submissions must be 600dpi files, 8x11. Submissions must be black and white, with gray tones if you find it necessary to use them. Despite the color cover and color interior art (more on that in a moment), the actual interior work will be printed on a b&w printer. Cuz I get free b&w printing baby. The due date is MARCH 25TH, 2012. That’s right, you have several months to get something together. Awesome, right? Yes! But don’t let the long due date fool you, the sooner your contribution is done the sooner I can run test copies to make sure everything reduces / formats all nice. Also you don’t have to worry about it the sooner it is done! All contributors will receive portions of POWER DRIVE A’s profits. The amount I intend to give myself is small and only really covers the cost of printing (which is barely anything). I have plenty of people who can confirm that I don’t bullshit about this stuff. As for the cost of the zine itself I’m going to have to see how many stories end up in it before determining that. Want to contribute! Awesome! SEND ME AN ASK! Ask questions! Talk to me about the story you want to do! Show me your art! Let me know you. We can communicate as much as you like during the completion of your piece. Although my spare time is few and far between, between job, school and making my own comics, I can give feedback when necessary. And that’s it! Get out there and make some comics! SIGNALLLLL B-B-B-B-B-BOOOOOOOST MUCHO APPRECIATED!!! oh my god oh my god i really hope i can do this because oh my god i want to

okay i put probably too much effort into this but here is my batman chronology (or half of it anyway)

i bolded the ones i think are most important, and italicized the ones i like the most (up to what ive read anyway)

i also added points where the timelines can branch off but i havent actually read whatever happened to the caped crusader, i dont think it matters when you read it because it tells several different stories happening at once? idk its neil gaiman so its weird

if anyone who knows comix has any suggestions or edits or anything please let me know!!!

The Man Who Falls
Batman Year One
Shaman (takes place before, during, and after year one)
The Man Who Laughs
Catwoman Year One (there are discrepancies between selinas origin as described here and whats shown in batman year one, as well as other sources, most of them out of print— THIS is a good guide for her canon (or canon amalgam, at least) origin)
The Long Halloween
Haunted Knight
Dark Victory
Catwoman: When in Rome
Robin: Gauntlet (not entirely necessary, but shows dicks training)
Robin Year One
Bat-Manga! (for great stuff with tiny gentleman dick robin, not canon but SO SUPER GOOD)
Batman with Robin the Teen Wonder (same case)
Legends of the DCU 6 (dick/superman otp)
Batgirl Year One (FAVORITE BOOK)
Batman: Batgirl (also not necessary, and i dont even know if its canon, but barbara batgirl stories are hard to come by)
Nightwing’s origin (headcanon amalgam of three versions of the story, ASK ME ABOUT IT IF YOU GET HERE)
Jason Todd origin and stories (408-425, Gotham Knights 43 (technically a flashback), trigger warning for rape in 424 and the previous arc i think is about a serial killer/rapist who targets women)
Batman: The Cult (takes place some point in the middle of the jason stories, probably before 424-425)
The Killing Joke (trigger warning for violence against women/implied rape, this book is one of the reasons i hate alan moore)
A Death in the Family [ALT. TIMELINE 1]
Oracle Year One: Born of Hope
A Lonely Place of Dying (tim drakes origin)
Robin: A Hero Reborn (tim becoming robin)
Spoiler first appearance (detective comics 647-649)
Dark Knight, Dark City (batman 452-454)
Vengeance of Bane I
Knightfall Part One
Knightfall Part Two
Robin: Flying Solo
Knightfall Part Three
Prodigal (only the last issue is really necessary, but if youre a tim and dick fan it has some good interactions between them)
Vengeance of Bane II
Contagion
Legacy
Cataclysm
No Man’s Land (5 volumes)

[i am only this far so the list gets fuzzy/less thorough here because im just going off my brothers notes]

Huntress: Cry for Blood (not actually sure when this takes place but no mans land is mentioned in it so ill just place it after that but it has helenas origin in it and the question!!! vic is a sweetie)
Birds or Prey starts some point after NML
Officer Down
Bruce Wayne: Murderer
Bruce Wayne: Fugitive
Half a Life
Hush
War Drums
War Games
War Crimes
Corrigan
Death and the Maidens
Under The Hood
Batman Annual 25 (explains jasons return, elaborated on in lost days)
Red Hood: Lost Days
Infinite Crisis
The Outsiders (Jason story)
Gotham Central
52
One Year Later (one year later was published before 52 but 52 takes place earlier chronologically, and i think it fills in some gaps in one year later, so probably one year later should be read first…? im not sure, oops)
Crime Bible/Five Books of Blood 
Batman and Son
Resurrection of Ra’s al Ghul
Black Glove
Batman RIP
Final Crisis [ALT. TIMELINE 2]
Last Rites
Battle for the Cowl
Batwoman Detective Comics run (854-863)
Batman and Robin Reborn
The Eighth Deadly Sin
Pipeline
Batman vs Robin
Return of Bruce Wayne
Batwoman #0+
Batman and Robin vol. 3 onward

ALT. TIMELINE 1: Dark Knight Returns: in this future, bruce retires after jason dies; however, this story was written before a death in the family, and before crisis on infinite earths, which means the batman in this story is the one whose origin took place in the 30s, not the 80s, so the “future” in the story, where bruce is in his 60s (miller gets his math wrong and says hes in his 50s and it bugs the SHIT out of me), takes place sometime in the 80s, during the cold war. Batman Year 100 (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!) follows this timeline, where batman began in 1939.

ALT. TIMELINE 2: Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?
