A man reacts with shock to the sight of an elf with a gun. The elf shoots him.
The Headmen: Jerry Morgan, whose flesh sags horribly from his bones; Arthur Nagan, a human head on a gorilla body; Chondu the Mystic, who appears to have nothing wrong.

Howard the Duck and Beverly Switzler meet the Defenders: Nighthawk, Valkyrie, Dr. Strange, and the Hulk.
The passing of Sal has me thinking again about of one of my favorite series, THE DEFENDERS, penciled by him and written by Steve Gerber. Checked out these messed-up moments.

from Inside Daisy Clover
"Melora," Mr. Swan murmurs, she smiles at him, comes straight over to my chair and without any kind of preliminary looks absolutely through me, the tip of her tongue just sticking out between her marvelous teeth, like a cat remembering cream. I'd say Mrs. Swan has what they call Drive.
"Not pretty," she says finally, "but my God those eyes."

Inside Daisy Clover is also really good (the movie, alas, is not)

My hot take, usually kept to myself, is that Hank Pym is a more interesting character for his mental illness, and deserves a bit of a redemption arc (unless he's, like, done worse stuff I don't know about in the past 30 years)

Mussolini: Son Of The Century | Official Trailer | Sky
dispiriting that MUSSOLINI: SON OF THE CENTURY could not get a deal with a major U.S. streamer in 2025. It's far from perfect, but it's so much better than 90% of the stuff people watch in droves.

Chapter One drops on Monday
I'll be writing furiously til the last minute.
The way I presented that link might make it look like I'm the one who wrote it (sorry); in fact, it's by Vinnie Sperrazza, who is just about to begin serializing on his newsletter a history of drumming. Excited for it!

Was Roger Slifer (w), Dave Kraft (w), Keith Giffen (p), or Klaus Janson (i) responsible for this?
