Default Detective Comics #859 Is Just Awesome...

...probably my favorite single issue of the year. Rucka manages to tell a tale about a young girl and her sexuality without it coming across as gratuitous titlation for male readers, and JH Williams' art is just incredible.

And I was unaware that you can be penalized at West Point for being gay. That's just fucked up.

It's a Military Academy. The same rules apply.

DADT right?

Good on Rucka for drawing attention to how messed up this kind of BS is.

Curses! My clever ruse has been exposed as a two bit sham. I would tip my hat to you, were I not currently bare headed
What?
I said you're a freaking genius you idiot!

Bring back Negasonic Teenage Warhead! Because there are more people who want to see her in the X Books than there are who want to see Jean Grey again.

It's very well done, and is just so sad. She ends up having to give up her dream of serving her country because of the bigotry of some higher-ups.

Though I did like how they didn't try to gloss over DADT in the DCU.

One of my favourite titles each month.

I am quite fond of the question back up tale as well.

I cut back on comics a little while back but I'm missing Tec and I'll get it in the morning (Thursday is comic day in the UK) as well as another couple at least.
