Picked these up last weekend. The Daredevil from 1952 cleaned and pressed very well. Was pretty sure I needed 1 or 2 of the digests but I just bought the lot. Turned out I had the two (list maintenance - not my strength apparently) but one of the others was over than what I had so I swapped it out.

Congrats to the USA Women’s team. That was a lot of hustle. Holy moly.

You misunderstand. I would cheer for the American team if I was American. I understand that. Just, you know, your country is not particularly popular outside of the USA at the moment…for some reason.

If you are in the actual arena watching the women’s Olympic hockey game and cheering the USA…why?
Only acceptable reason is that you are American. If you are anything else…for the love of god, why?
You don’t have to cheer Canada, but a little silent opposition would be nice all things considered.

Why on Earth is the US team getting cheered so loudly in an Italian arena? Did they fly in a bunch of Americans for this game?

These Survivors have to stop calling Jeff Probst “Uncle J”. It’s irrational, yes, but also irritates me every time I hear it.

Went to @backissuescomicon.bsky.social (I mean, I gotta since it’s my show) and it was great. Lots of people, happy vendors, cool crowd, special guests that I am so appreciative of. I saw some people buying some sweet books. I was busy but managed to pick these up.

That’s a heck of a nice cover. You really wrote some of the best Strange runs ever and that’s not my natural bias here.

Cleaned this book up and gave it a press. It’s not drastic, but it does look much better now.

I would support purchases in any state that is actively resisting in an aggressive manner and reconsider travel to the US In those states only…for what it’s worth.
