Recent Reading: Consent

We're back to the "Women in Translation" rec list, with book #10: Consent: A Memoir by Vanessa Springora, translated from French by Natasha Lehrer. This autobiographical novel is the story of Springora's sexual abuse as a young teenager at the hands of Gabriel Matzneff, a well-regarded and prolific French writer, who was in his late forties when he entered a romantic and sexual relationship with Springora (called "V" in the book).

The rest of this review is under the cut, given the nature of the content.

The Flash #21 - "Bad Moon Rising, Part Two"

The day my little boy came home from nursery -- and I've never shown him any my comics, he was three at this point -- and he goes, "Daddy, I'm a superhero," and he runs around the house punching stuff and breaking things. And I'm like, oh shit, I have appeared to have built a career around the fact that moral righteousness is who can hit the hardest, who can break things the most. And that really, really staggered me, and I had to really think about it. -- Si Spurrier

Absolute Martian Manhunter #4

Because, while I do think we're pretty radical, and it's pretty different, at the same time, if I'm drawing from anything, I'm drawing from those early Detective Comics stories, and going back to that. And that was a version of the Martian Manhunter who was kind of mysterious and almost mystical in his abilities, in the sense that he could seem to really do anything, whatever the story called for, and his perspective on humanity was really important. -- Deniz Camp

Star-Lord (Marvel Preview 4)

I had a yen to go through Starlord's backstory and apparently it's even more of a mish-mash than most comic book characters, with retcons having consigned his original origin story to an alternate reality. Still, I find Marvel Preview 4 an interesting taste of seventies sci-fi, with its zeerust futurism, hints of astrology, In Search Of The Unknown UFOism and NASA worship coupled with the usual capes and lasers.

(Yes, there are capes. It's the future, jabroni.)

This is SF coming out of the same primordial soup as Star Wars (which would premiere two years later) and it's just fascinating to me how it's simultaneously so modern and yet so of-another-time.
