She was so cool

Shame she was a Cool character in Saga lol

spoilerBrian K Vaugn is the most anti-comics comics writer, at least in his own works, where Death is final and he doesn't fuck around. It's great but also exhausting when characters die for pathos

The purpose of a system is what it does, so too with it's intellectuals.

Gonna say, Stanley doesn't impress me with his work. I read 'How Fascism Works' and it's pretty typical liberal fash apologia; focussing solely on the cultural flashpoints the fascists like to use to gain power and barely if ever addresses the material interests bound up in fascist states and how the rich business class props them up. After having read it I found Blackshirts and Reds to be all but a direct counter argument to basically everything he says and properly addresses the most important question about fascist states: for whom does the state benefit? Parenti never shies away from explaining that they only gain power because they have rich sponsors who want for state power and how it contrasts so much with Socialism which puts the proletariat first and foremost. Indeed, Stanley never properly goes into any of the class dynamics at play when it comes to the levers of power.

Kinda late to the party, but the new chapter of Radiant just dropped and I've been pushing that one hard for a while here, I think it's perfectly suited to any Hexbear who enjoys manga. It's actually French, and the story so far has been pretty amazing, with plenty of charismatic characters with such lovely nuance and runs the gamut tackling themes of marginalization, oppressive politics and class relations, even spirituality and environmentalism.

Seth is an apprentice sorcerer from the Pompo Hills. Like all sorcerers, he's an "infected", one of the few people having survived an encounter with a Nemesis, those creatures falling from the sky and destroying everything around them. Being immune to them, Seth wants to become a Hunter and fight the Nemesis. But what Seth really wants is to find the source of all Nemesis, the Radiant. Helped by his fellow sorcerers, he will seek the Radiant, under the harsh scrutiny of the Inquisition…

The sell is kinda tropey, but I swear it actually gets really good.

I think it's still my favorite out of the series, even if only because there's this intangible spirit of possibility in the setting, until the sequels took a more concrete tongue in cheek tone. It has this compelling balance of darkness and humor that appeals to me, before it became mostly jokes with an internet meme appeal, even if I share the mainstream opinion that -strictly speaking- the series gameplay has only improved.
