    Teen Titans v3 #90

    DC should have had Krul write the Titans reboot. I loved his run, and it’s loads better than Lobdell’s! Although, Lobdell isn’t a hard act to beat.

    thoughtsaboutdickgrayson:

    From the letter column of Batman Family #5 (May-June 1976)

    People shipped Dick and Babs even in the 1970s. Of course, it took DC over twenty years to step into the 20th century and realize that older woman-younger man relationships are okay.

    Teen Titans v3 #92

    I don’t know why I never read past the first 25 issues of this book. There are so many great moments on Krul’s run!

    Solitude gives birth to the original in us, to beauty unfamiliar and perilous – to poetry. But also, it gives birth to the opposite: to the perverse, the illicit, the absurd.

    We cannot know his legendary head
    with eyes like ripening fruit. And yet his torso
    is still suffused with brilliance from inside,
    like a lamp, in which his gaze, now turned to low,

    gleams in all its power. Otherwise
    the curved breast could not dazzle you so, nor could
    a smile run through the placid hips and thighs
    to that dark center where procreation flared.

    Otherwise this stone would seem defaced
    beneath the translucent cascade of the shoulders
    and would not glisten like a wild beast’s fur:

    would not, from all the borders of itself,
    burst like a star: for here there is no place
    that does not see you. You must change your life.

    — “Archaic Torso of Apollo" by Rainer Maria Rilke
