...back to Peter Parker marrying Mary Jane. I loved it all.

Right, I remember all those titles, but didn't read them. A lot of more mature books were coming out in the time frame: Watchmen, Veitch's Brat Pack and Maximortal, Frank Miller's works, it was just a great time to be reading comics and being able to go from hardcore dark serious books and then...

I didn't read all that many Vertigo titles: Hellblazer (the Garth Ennis run especially...fucking hell! But I loved that character from Moore's mainstream Swamp Thing run), Swamp Thing, ummmm not a lot else that I remember.

Maybe 2kAD is more like when Marvel rebooted...Savage Tales (he strained to remember) in the 80s as a very violent full size magazine.

Got it. I just remember some of the Brit names that became big in US comics in the 80s and on came from 2000AD. Moore...etc?

You did! Never read an issue but saw it on the comic store stands, it was basically the Brit Heavy Metal wasn't it?

Rings no bells, but it has been a long time. Gerber's Man-Thing was a fav of mine in the early 70s as he dealt with a lot of more adult, contemporary themes. There was a storyline involving book-burning that really grabbed me. Also his Howard the Duck for the same reasons.

I mainly remember it for bringing Man-Thing to regular comics. Steve Gerber's run on Man Thing was one of my favorites from that time.

Nice. I had those Spider-Man Morbius issues as a young-un and some of the Fear/Morbius issues.

Maybe I'll retake that pic so the book titles are clearer.

I just looked at it again and see how blurred it is and the book titles can't be made out. Just imagine a shelf of the best Sasquatch porn and you've got the idea.

Brutal yes, but there does get to be a morning after.

I saw it way back when it came out and that is my memory too. After seeing I bought the two books the movie is based on. Also brutal.

I haven't played any of them so no opinion. Maybe just form a polycule.

I can't imagine how he doesn't see this will impact his voters as well as the Dems he hopes it would screw with.

Sing, Goddess, of the Fury of Trump! The wartime president is focused on footwear.

"... apparently even to order a replacement pair in the correct size would risk an unacceptable breach of courtly etiquette. What if he noticed?? So they clomp around, their posture and gait arrested, their blisters and spinal alignments unimaginable..."

Yeah, I agree your analysis.
It's interesting there are three post apocalypse bunker survival themed sci-fi series out now: Silo (which I haven't watched though did read the books), Fallout, and Paradise. A genre finds its cultural moment.

Here in SW Missouri a few days ago I saw it was $2.85 at the station I usually gas up at, about a 50 cent jump from before the war began.
