Seduction Of The Innocent #4 knows the truth. And X Thoughts About X Of Today's Comics has no intent veer from that plan. Brutal and ugly, here we go.

Not so much at Deadly Class... eyes wide open I'm afraid…

While Crossed-creator Garth Ennis A Train Called Love #6 also seems to have a little Crossed advice to share….

It may be possible that only Deadpool would bring a cat box to a decapitation. ISIS should take notes, it just adds a note of surreality. Anyway, Deadpool is getting his memories back….

So is Batgirl….

Okay, not everyone. And some people remember, they just aren't saying.

Since Reed and Sue what, Johnny? The Human Torch appears in Guardians Of The Infinity to visit the Thing with a classic Lee/Kirby gag, but rather frustrates us all….

With Batgirl as well today, DC Comics would have had a lock on the best looking suprhero comics on the stands today if it wasn't for…

The first issue of the new Black Widow from Samnee and Waid is a beautifully choreographed chase scene in heaven as it is on earth with a handy SHIELD operative to sledgehammer it home in text….

While Spider-Man sees racial outters dealing with their own #PrimeWorldProblems.

While Vampirella #1 also gets outed on-line. With slightly less positive coverage – though it depends on your point of view I guess. But it my just give a little motivation to change a look…

And this, for Dejah Thoris, is her winter wear.

Something Green Lantern is coming face to face with as well, when your dimensional counterpart goes toe to toe with you, trying to replace you. Peter Parker handles this better. But is this what all the DC #50 comics are going to be like? Characters confronting their very literal metatextual past? We know Pre-52 Superman is making a visit in Superman's own title after all…
