From murderous detectives to evil space police: The worst cops in comics
Comic books worlds, like the real world, have their share of good and bad cops. Commissioner Jim Gordon is without question the most famous comic book cop, and he’s one of the most sympathetic and noble characters in comics. Gary Oldham brilliantly brought Gordon to life in the Christopher Nolan "Dark Knight" trilogy, and I have high hopes for the new “Gotham” series — even if turning “Gotham Central” into a TV show would have been an easier trick. That DC series featured many other great cops such as Maggie Sawyer, Crispus Allen and Renee Montoya, all of whom represent their badges well.
However, comic book cops — and Gotham cops in particular — tend to be corrupt, murderous and borderline evil. They often act as a contrast, and an impetus, to the spandex-wearing heroes who have to save the day. If you ever walk through a portal to a comic book universe, I hope you avoid all of the following boys in blue.
Detective Arnold Flass
Flass is, without question, the patron saint of bad comic book cops. In “Batman Year One," which is Batman’s ultimate origin story, Flass’ first words to partner Jim Gordon tell the whole story: “Welcome to Gotham, Jimmy. It’s not as bad as it looks. Especially if you’re a c

9 series that prove 2014 is the year of the female-centric comic book
Comic books have traditionally been the most testosterone-marinated of genres. As comics have taken over TV and the movies, that status quo hasn’t changed much. Preposterously, we’re still waiting for a Wonder Woman movie. Marvel women are making some gains on the small screen, with upcoming TV shows lined up for “Jessica Jones” (a private eye/former superhero created by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos) and “Agent Carter” (Captain America’s '40s love interest). But overall, the boys are still dominating.
Yet change is finally coming from an unexpected source: comic books themselves. This year, there has been a striking attempt by publishers (particularly Image and Marvel) to launch new series with female leads. To celebrate this welcome development, here are nine of the best new female-centric series.
1) “She-Hulk”
Jennifer Walters aka She-Hulk is a superhero and a lawyer, and this new series by Charles Soule (also a lawyer) and Javier Pulido (not a lawyer, but a pop-art-influenced phenom) takes this giant green lady through the trials of establishing her own practice, punching the bad guys in the head, and seeking asylum for the bratty child of Dr. Doom. In the same spirit as “Hawkeye” and “T
