COMIC BOOKS

Wow! I don't normally binge watch, but the end of every episode was just so hilarious and/or suspenseful. There's not much I can say without spoiling anything, but in point form:

• It remains a superhero show that is a also a comedy, but not a parody (except for a few fun jabs at Superman this season). As a superhero show, I find it better than any of the other superhero series I've seen, which tend to be slow-paced and self-serious. As a comedy, its sense of humour is totally unique, and a good mix of blatantly silly and understated.
• Last season handled origin stories better than a lot of good, mainstream superhero shows. Ms. Lint, in this season and the last, is a more interesting villain than in most of the villains in MCU movies.
• In spite of not a having a huge part, this is maybe the masterpiece of John Hodgman's weird acting career.

You expect the Tick to be a bit weird, and I'm glad they updated the weirdness. Cartoony jokes, side-by-side with subtle running gags and callbacks, mixed with serious character development, gives this a feeling that is as awkward and unbalanced as it is engaging and hilarious.

The first two series were superheroes comedies for the time of cheap cartoons, Tim Burton's Batman, and Dark Age comics. This is the superhero comedy for the time of Zack Snyder, Chris Nolan's Batman, and 20+ spaghetti-tangled MCU movies.

• Seanbaby just published one of the funniest articles of his entire career.
• Ten Hours Of Waluigi. Humanity isn't ready for something so beautiful.
• Venn Diagram In CSS.
• This movie trailer.

What starts off with a lot of potential turns into a checklist of DC heroes firing their lasers at a completely nondescript generic villain with no motivation. Will they fire their lasers hard enough? At first it seems like no they won't, but, in the end, yes they will.
