Batman: My Favorite Hero
Why is he my favorite? Mainly, he has no superpowers: what he does comes from his own skill, knowledge, and personal effort. He has great style. Plus, though he lives on the dark side and contends with personal demons, he turns that into a fight for justice at great personal cost. Also, when I was a kid I fantasized about him and Robin - he's really hot! Some great pics:

"High Brow Trash"
Slate discusses the reissue of "7 Miles a Second," David Wajnarowizc's 80's comic about hustling and the AIDS crisis. Here's a sample page:
Noah Berlasky writes:
In the image above, for example, unapologetically pulp sci-fi/horror imagery is juxtaposed with oversaturated colors and a semioblivious upper-crust milieu—as if decadent comics are crawling with an ominous preposterousness across the averted faces of decadent gallery-goers. The glowing diagonal image of the shirtless Wojnarowicz that dominates the page reads in part as trashy eroticized pulp—and in part as art-world eroticized male nude. Romberger's bric-a-brac layout and uncomfortably shifting perspective present the encounter between margins and center as a disturbing fever dream of antagonism, repulsion, disorientation, and lust.
This is just an example of the fascinating analysis of how comics and intersect art and, at the same time, take on contemporary issues in ways unavailable to conventional art. Makes me want to look it up.
