I'll be spending the evening with....

... Marieke Nijkamp's 'The Oracle Code', all two hundred-ish pages of it, and a nice bottle of wine.

I was going to go for the Kindle version until I realised the Kindle version was 50% _more_ than the dead tree version, and graphic novels may be one place where the dead tree edition still has advantages. Except possibly in double page spreads. Page 14 is gorgeous in the Kindle sample, but some of the detail is lost in the fold of the dead tree edition, such as the kid in the foreground probably being Latino. Twelve people in the picture, nine of them are visible disabled - five different wheelchair users, including Babs Gordon,  (and at least four different wheelchairs!) three on crutches, one little boy wearing a KAFO, and the intersectionality is front and centre, literally, with two of them being non-white.

It looks like it retcons 'The Killing Joke', so it isn't the Joker who shoots Babs, but all we see is the gun, and Babs on a rooftop. And then she arrives at the Arkham Center for Independence, which is, of course, nothing like the Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane...
