Metron Comic Book Database

Always wanted a copy of that LOSH collectors edition, but trying to find it in the late 70s / early 80s was pretty futile.

Currently: Laughing Ogre (Columbus)

Past: Dragon's Lair (Omaha)

I went to the Billy Ireland Museum's Bill Watterson exhibit about 10 years, and it was pretty amazing seeing his original work in person and see some the subtle changes that were made before they were published.

Oof... it's shocking just how much of the internet is using Cloudflare. Glad I've avoided using it in my projects.

Too bad Marvel is shutting down their API. Didn't use it often, but it was useful those times I did.

My horror novel BONES OF OUR STARS, BLOOD OF OUR WORLD hits the shelves today!

This is a book that will keep you turning the page and keep you guessing… and I’d be shocked if you expect how it all wraps up!

Today is the birthday of artist Dave Cockrum (Nov. 11, 1943-Nov. 26, 2006). Creator or cocreator of Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Thunderbird, Wildfire, Mystique, the Starjammers, the Imperial Guard, Magik, & much more!

That's a rough call... I'd go with either the Jonah Hex or Aquaman.

The very short-lived 1970s series "O.M.A.C., the One Man Army Corps" from @dc.com

Dystopia was never as weird, twisted, or unsettling to kids as under the creative mind and hand of the greatest comic creator ever, Jack "The King" Kirby.

The series scared me as a kid, but now, it fascinates me.

Great movie!

A reason why @sweetdotdev.bsky.social is dead set on trying not to make a subscription or if we do, make it equitable for creator owned. The appeal to readers is obvious, and to our business’s bottom line, but philosophically we don’t grow comics unless we make publishers and creators more money.

Watched the #Peacemaker Season 2 finale, and enjoyed the season.

It's really too bad there isn't going to be a 3rd season, since the plan seems to be too have the characters appear in future DC movies.

I'm planning on watching this sometime this week.

Two episodes in, and it's one of the more entertaining projects that the MCU has released.

settles in to watch #MarvelZombies.
