Comic Statues & Busts: DC Nightwing from DC Figures

Monthly readers of titanstower.com understand I'm a big fan of Donna Troy. A few months ago, I gave her origination a lot of brainwork, and discovered a Sunday way to streamline it in shaft-Unfathomable Disaster continuity (with Miracle Abigail back as a down of the JLA). This new advance keeps the vanquish of the Pre and Place Turning-point stories with the Amazons and Titans of Allegory - while removing some more confusing baggage like the cascading multiple lives.

As a extended opportunity Titans fan I wished you all the fortune with your Justification for the Donna Troy's new Base, my acquaintance. But your supplication will total to unresponsive ears. Us Titans fan have pleas them with the freeing of Teen Titans Go TV series, Teen Titans Go side-splitting series, Teen Titans Judas Pucker video and leave off execution Titans for rating. It seems that none of our pleas have been heard yet. So our on information have been way below sastisfaction for me to have any certitude that Didio will ever be affected to your beseech.

It is strange, though, that other sexual assaults seem to fly below the radar of most internet fans, as well as most comics professionals. Although there have been several explicit rapes of male characters in comics, they have had relatively little acknowledgment, on and off the page.

Don't worry. This isn't a condemnation of internet fans for not being outraged enough, nor is it a ‘what about the men' diatribe. It is simply my observation that sexual assaults, in comics, are treated very differently depending on the sex of the people involved.
