Teen Titans!

Oh my God. I love comics.

Equipment: Macendale had a glider which looked like a "sombrero". He also had a very hard helmet, which Spidey enjoyed punching.

And the first Mysteriou's cousin became the fourth Jack O'Lantern!

There's just been way too much Spidey stuff all told -- too many titles, way way way too many miniseries, too many graphic novels ... even a reasonable crap ratio would mean a ton of crap. And there have been a lot of reeeeally weak runs, and bad habits (4 Hobgoblins, 3 Calling Birds, 2 Chk'n Kaus...) compounding them.

Who's a little fear demon?

Ok, clearing things up: Roger Stern creates the Hobgoblin, leaves the book before revealing who he is. I believe he offered to tell incoming writer Tom DeFalco who the Hobgoblin was supposed to be, but DeFalco said he didn't want to know. Priest (who had been Stern's editor) writes Spider-Man vs. Wolverine and kills off Ned Leeds. In an editorial fuck-up, it is decided that Leeds was also the Hobgoblin - this is revealed in (i think ) ASM 289, written by Peter David. Jack O'Lantern had NOT been Hobgoblin before, but he was the one who ordered the hit on Hobgoblin, and then took his stuff and decided to become the second Hobgoblin, since Jack O'Lantern was rubbish and even he knew it.

Many years later, Roger Stern returns to write a 3-issue story establishing that Leeds was a patsy, and the real Hobgoblin was who Stern had intended it to be all along....

...Roderick Kingsley, the evil fashion magnate with an identical (balding) twin or something. I dunno, I didn't really read it.

BTW, the reason Raven was able to resurrect Jericho - his soul was A) trapped in Deathstroke, then B) trapped in a computer. If Sperby only had a memory stick and a compatible port somewhere on his ass...

Geoff Johns, ladies & germs.

(In 2016 - the last time she had a new release - 21,000 comic titles were sold through bookstores. 5% of all dollars exchanged were for Telgemeier books: the #1, #2, #4 and #5 bestsellers for the year were her own work, and #6, #7, #10 and #11 were work-for-hire by her. As most of her work (and all of these books) is on Graphix, those figures are only a small minority of her overall sales to readers.)

my daughter loves her stuff

That's cool, but do any of her characters have backgrounds like this?:

After Donna Troy is killed by a fleet of Superman androids reprogrammed by Brainiac, she is resurrected by the Titans of Myth, who seek to exploit her status as an "anomaly" from the world that existed before Crisis on Infinite Earths to escape the coming cataclysm of Infinite Crisis. This story establishes Donna's status as an anomaly of the timeline, explaining that she survived the Crisis and was later subjected to multiple alternate origins as the universe tried to fit her into the new timeline created following the collapse of the Multiverse. This makes Donna in effect "a living key to the lost Multiverse." This same storyline also reveals that Dark Angel is an evil alternate universe version of Donna from Earth-Seven. Another pre-Crisis survivor, she "was saved by the Anti-Monitor, and raised to be his harbinger of doom, Dark Angel. But Dark Angel was uncontrollable, and vanished."

Within a short time after 2011's The New 52 reboot that followed the Flashpoint story, DC had already presented two conflicting new origins for Donna Troy in the pages of Wonder Woman and Titans Hunt. In the first case, she is introduced as a new character: magical golem, ruthless warrior, and challenger to Wonder Woman's status as leader of the Amazons. She later goes on a journey of discovery. In Titans Hunt, this same Donna, alongside other former Teen Titans, rediscovers memories of childhood heroism with the Teen Titans, which should be impossible for her. In the DC Rebirth relaunch, Donna has a fuller set of childhood memories restored to her after meeting the pre-Flashpoint Wally West. In the DC Rebirth relaunch of Wonder Woman, the storyline "The Lies" reveals that the savage depiction of Thymiscira and the Amazons in the New 52 Wonder Woman series in which Diana is made the Queen of the Amazons and the God of War and has Donna Troy reinvented as a mass-murdering villain is, in fact, an illusion by the Olympians to keep her away from the real island. A later Titans story clarified that Donna is still a magical golem created to destroy Wonder Woman, with fake memories granted by the Amazons.

they're mostly about tween girls, maybe she'll get around to that in future volumes
