Holy canoli, there's a lot of you guys! Reintroduction time!

I'm CR Whitwick, I have a YouTube channel where, long story short, I make video essays about comic books.

Mostly, I break down and explore DC Comics, their characters, and their creators. But I talk about other stuff too!

Check me out!

Examined | Explained | Explored I was practically raised by modern media, and into adulthood developed an utter fascination with what can go into a creative work and what the audience gets OUT of it....

I have now played and finished Mouthwashing, and I think the developers should pay for my therapy.

So the full stop dictator shit is starting. That’s cool. That’s fun.

Fuck anyone who says people don’t have the right to protest. If you even remotely think that way you are a cowardly piece of shit and you never cared about freedom to begin with.

Gonna gush about my fave #Superman story today.

Superman Smashes the Klan, by @geneluenyang.bsky.social!

A period piece story about the Man of Steel that pays direct attention to the racial prejudices in 1940s America.

Genuine, heartfelt, charming, and altogether perfect. This is Superman.

There are plenty of people behind the panels of #DC that made it what it is today, but Gardner Fox truly made it a Golden Age!

Find out why!

For those of you following my financial drama. First off, hi! Second, thanks if you donated to the gofundme!

Thirdly, I'm in a slightly better situation thanks to the donations received. Money is still tighter than a French aristocrat's corset in 1789, but I'm not homeless, so that's a win!

Dear. God.

The Nice House on the Lake by @jamesthefourth.bsky.social and @amartinezbueno.bsky.social is the most gripping horror I've read in years.

It's indescribably unsettling, existential, and remarkably character-driven.

It's also one of those stories that is best enjoyed with no context...

Gonna give a little love to Harleen by the always stunning @stjepansejic.bsky.social!

It's a great interpretation of Harleen Quinzel's mental descent into the villainess Harley Quinn. The art is absolutely breathtaking on every panel.

Also, Šejić REALLY knows how to make everyone RIDICULOUSLY HOT!

For those of you looking for new comics, I recommend the work of @faitherinhicks.bsky.social.

From graphic novels like The Nameless City, to stories in the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender, to heartfelt and funny ones like Ride On.

You've got plenty to pick from with Faith, so start reading!

Round of applause to @jefflemire171.bsky.social for the unbelievably awesome Black Hammer!

As soon as I picked up the hammer, I couldn't put it down!

A great way to look at classic comic book stories, and archetypes, and then consider how things would ACTUALLY play out in a more... human way.

I just revisited DCeased by the wonderful @tomtaylormade.bsky.social.

He knows how to craft an out-of-continuity story that keeps the tension and emotions high, and keeps you curious about what curveball is gonna get thrown NEXT!

One of my favorite superhero vs zombie stories, full stop.

Gonna give props to @erikamoen.bsky.social and Matthew Nolan for their comic that I can't talk about on YouTube under any circumstance.

Oh Joy Sex Toy!

It's about sex, sex health, and any other word starting with those three letters.

It's funny, it's witty, it's informative, and it's great! 🍑
