I'm always amused when people on dating apps think their musical tastes are broad and a bit all over the place but, really, they just listen to pop.

I get to keep the book & get a refund, which is nice, but I checked the website & seller's ratings are based on response times & number of returns so...even though the guy was super nice I think it has a lot to do with keeping their 5 star rating.

Oh, Internet Seller. You specifically featured the Marvel Horror: The Magazine Collection on your listing, ISBN and everything, but you shipped me Vol 21 of the Marvel: The Ultimate Graphic Novels Collection.
Why do you task me so? I was really looking forward to my order, too.
I've been kicking myself for not doing an October horror movie marathon like I often do but then I realized that I've been reading dozens of Marvel horror books all month, and watching season five of the Twilight Zone, and I felt suddenly less negligent with the level of my Halloween spirit.

Seen it twice, now. Once in IMAX. I feel like the script could have used one more pass but, overall, I think the TRON of it all is satisfying enough. Gorgeous looking film.

Kind of unsettling how much Marvel's Sons of the Serpent are basically ICE.

I've been in a real Marvel horror reading space of late and noticed the Midnight Suns game is on sale in the PlayStation store. Wondering if this will help scratch the itch or if it's just another Avengers/Super-hero game?

Paris in the '20s, Cafรฉ Society, sex, art, murder, class conflict, and a dollop of history. Brilliant.

After reading this, the Belasco/Illyana thing and Claremont's brief dalliance writing for Satana makes a whole lot of sense. I didn't realize he had a connection by marriage to the magickal community in NYC, or that all the comic guys hung out at the Magickal Childe. www.nypress.com/news/the-doo...

Asking for a friend.
Flash Gordon and Prince Thun take on a squad of green-skinned Shark Men
And old man looks up at a mural of Flash Gordon crossing swords with Ming the Merciless.
Flash Gordon frees Edda from her locked helmet, and the mechanic can't help herself from laying a smooch on him.
Flash Gordon negotiates with Empress Aura. "Tch. Fine," she sneers, conciliating. "Savior of the Universe..." He smiles back. "You love it."
All right, just turned in the last strips of my second year on FLASH GORDON. That's 730 installments in the bag -- appearing in a rough average of 1.5 panels per strip, I've drawn Flash about 1,095 times. Still takes me a couple tries to get his hair right. Tomorrow we start on year three โก

Dadโs books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending itโs their own fault. So I hope Kemiโs taking notes as well as reading the jokes.
