My work computer finally succumbed to New Outlook and I'd just like to go on the record saying I absolutely HATE IT. Fascinating that they went with a real "outlook for babies" aesthetic while also moving all basic functions of the program to completely counterintuitive places, incredible updates all around.

So, Connor Hawke. Our absolute top priority in canonizing Connor's asexuality was honoring his history. It was crucial that this #DCPride story not feel like a retcon (because it isn't one!), but an inevitability.

Here's a thread of the road that lead us here, starting in 1994! Connor Hawke is introduced to comics in Green Arrow #0 by Puckett and Aparo. As a young teenager, Connor chose to join the ashram and become a monk where his father Ollie once took refuge and eventually returns. Connor is polite, highly skilled, and eager to connect with Ollie.

🌈OH HEY GOOD MORNING #DCPRIDE 2022 JUST DROPPED🌈 (There was a much more laid back version of this tweet In The Drafts but why pretend I have any chill at all when we truly all know better, especially about #DCPRIDE!!!!!!)

I get to kick off the week reviewing every glorious page of AQUAMAN: THE BECOMING and FUTURE STATE: AQUAMAN for the collected edition that's off to the printer today!

Thread of some fave moments because I love these books so dang much. First, the #1 issue covers, because DUH. @DavidTalaski @Sampere_art @fxstudiocolor Kickass Unstoppable Jackson! Self Assured Jackson! Over It Big Brother Jackson! The AQUAMAN: THE BECOMING team blessed our hero with such a wonderful array of emotional expression throughout the series.
