Absolute Martian Manhunter

Context: This is a collection of panels from issues 4 and 6 of Absolute Martian Manhunter! The series is so fascinating and I adore the use of color to express information. The story follows John Jones after an explosion, encountering a mental being calling itself the Martian Mind**er (Its censored like that in the comic but has been filled in as well with "Help" "Heal" "Kill" "Save" "Hunt"). The Martian opens Johns eyes to the emotions of those around him as he works to uncover the mystery of the White Martian and the "Bad Ideas" that are spreading.

The Boy Wonder Issue 2

Context: Damian Wayne aka Robin is trying to redeem himself after killing a man in front of his father (Batman). The story is told as a story within a story with a girl in a hostage situation telling Damian’s story like a fairytale. In this issue, Damian teams up with Jason Todd aka Red Hood. After hallucinating the Joker, Jason lashes out and shoots everything around him trying to get the Joker. He accidentally shoots Damian instead and is instantly regretful and shocked out of his hallucination.

Homestuck (Act 5 Part 2 Page # 5836

Context: Slightly different format from most comics. Homestuck is a multimedia webcomic hosted currently at homestuck.com. This annotation is a screenshot from the webpage. This page features a bunch of jumbled together panels due to a scrapbook falling and a bunch of the photos falling out. The reader is currently in Doc Scratch's domain and is at his whim during this segment. The reader is able to click on each of the pictures in panel 2 in order to see what is happening in that frame. This segment of the comic also messes with the established form (using the header as a panel). It really showcases how little control the reader has and how much is dictated by Doc Scratch (an all knowing time demon)
