Chapter 653 Li Ke's Comic Book Career (2k Free Chapter)

Choosing stockings for Zatanna was a very pleasant, even delightful, experience, especially with her perfect cooperation. The selection process felt like a rendezvous from the inside out, from top to bottom.

And it must be said that the magician's physique is really quite good, with exceptional flexibility and agility.

"Hmm... It seems our great hero's will is indeed very strong. But could you be a little more careful next time? These clothes are very expensive."

Zatanna felt a pang of heartache looking at her torn stockings, especially since she didn't dare reveal her magical abilities to Li Ke. Besides, using magic for a little money was truly a waste and showed disrespect to her creditors.

After all, what dimensional lord or demon god would want to see someone who borrows their power use it to mend stockings?

Or rather, where would a strong person go back to repair stockings?

Thinking about this, Zatanna found herself a little amused, but for some reason, she subconsciously looked at Li Ke, who at that moment opened his eyes and happened to see the torn stockings.

"Hmm, if only I had the superpower to repair stockings, then I could see the beautiful scenery again."

Zatanna rolled her eyes at his words, then looked at the man in front of her with a charming smile and asked the question.

"So, couldn't you buy me more? Besides, don't you really enjoy the process of choosing?"

As she spoke, Zatanna sat on Li Ke's lap, gently stroking his cheek with her hand.

"Besides, isn't the outfit I wear most often now your magician's costume? Why are you being so stingy?"

Zatanna's most common outfit is a bunny girl-style outfit, with a normal tuxedo on top and bunny girl pantyhose and stockings on the bottom, along with high heels, highlighting the fusion of a magician and an assistant.

However, ever since Li Ke rescued her, Zatanna has stopped wearing such clothes in public and only wears them in front of Li Ke. Not only that, Zatanna also seems indifferent to Selena's situation, and even asked Selena if she wanted to choose clothes with her, which is somewhat strange.

Li Ke didn't know if Zatanna was like this in the official DC universe, but there were many variations in the DC universe, so he wouldn't care even if Superman came out. So he smiled, sat up, and put his arms around Zatanna's neck.

"I just think it's a pity. But speaking of which, are you planning to tour in other places?"

Zatanna nodded, a helpless expression on her face.

"Yes, we went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to raise funds for the victims of the Gotham disaster, although I think most of the victims don't need donations. But my agent and company think that this can enhance my reputation in Gotham and make my performances more popular."

The beautiful female magician stretched lazily, glancing at Li Ke to see if he would come with her. She then glanced sideways at Selena beside her before looking at Li Ke and asking about her man's career.

"By the way, how's your comic coming along?"

Li Ke gave a subtle look. "Well, how should I put it, it's quite popular... but I'm a little unhappy about it."

"Unhappy? Why? Everyone really likes your illustrations of The Boys, right? I even met Bruce last time, and he really appreciated the comic. He even thought that although your portrayal of Homelander was disgusting, it was very realistic and reflected the dark side of human nature."

Yes, Li Ke's first published comic wasn't any other comic, nor was it a Marvel comic; it was The Boys. As for the reason, it was simply because he had a morbid sense of humor.

Therefore, Selena was very puzzled. After all, what author wouldn't like their comics to be popular? Especially such profound comics?

When Li Ke heard Bruce appreciating the comic, his expression instantly twisted, while Selena seemed completely oblivious to what it meant for an anti-hero comic like The Boys to be popular in this world.

The Boys is a parody comic of superheroes. Homelander, who is the counterpart to Superman, is the moral floor and can be described as utterly wicked. Although he had a pitiful childhood, a tragedy created by human hands, it does not change the fact that he is a beast.

Moreover, most of these 'superheroes' are more like celebrities than heroes; it's a profession for them. Fighting crime is just a performance, and they don't really want to be heroes. The level of chaos is even more exaggerated than Hollywood.

Therefore, the Boys are popular in this world, which is really not fun for Li Ke.

"The world needs a hero, Selena. Heroes are necessary, but as it stands, most people in Gotham, and indeed the world, don't believe there will ever be a truly good hero."

Li Ke looked in the direction of the metropolis, her tone enigmatic.

And at this time——

"That's right, the author named Li Ke is not wrong."

Looking at the comic book in his hand, Bruce Wayne's eyes gleamed. Ever since he met that jester who called himself Batman, his heart had been greatly impacted. The other man was willing to die with Gotham's Court of Owls, and the extraordinary power he displayed in the process had made this immature Batman mature rapidly.

"Superpowered people are all reckless bastards..."

Touching his chest, he thought of how the other party, who called himself a subject, had taken care of everything on his own, sacrificing the other's precious life and causing such a fervent will to vanish. This self-serving behavior filled him with anger.

Therefore, he believed that the other party's superpowers had driven the jester's mind to extremes, making him feel that he had the right to change the world and the right to attack others with nuclear weapons, which led him to do such crazy things. So, at this moment, Batman had only one thought in his mind.

"I must find a way to deal with these superpowered individuals, to prevent them from becoming too arrogant, or from having evil thoughts that no one can control or stop them from having."

His expression grew increasingly resolute.

However, on a farm in Kansas, a boy named Clark Kent frowned as he looked at Homelander in a comic book, who was releasing pressure on the moon. But when he thought about how the other man was incredibly strong, could emit heat from his eyes, and was almost exactly like him, he felt a sense of suffocation!
