I canโ€™t get over that the frame for this series is Barry Allen thinking he is writing a history of the universe, and filling it with things like โ€œthen Batman changed his outfitโ€

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.

Looks like the seller was just as befuddled as me. 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.

30% of eligible voters in Edmonton turned out to vote in the municipal election. That's...pretty shameful, really. Especially considering how many people bitch about wanting change.

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.

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?

Another Ernest Chiriacka original. My two things of note on this one are those fantastic expressions, and the guts it took to just... no illustrate that foreground column in any way. It's nothing but an online. Not colored. Not anything.

Holy shit! I just finished reading Beware the Creeper by Jason Hall & @cliffchiang.bsky.social & I'm just...gah, I loved it. Literally felt made just for me & deals with so many of my interests.

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...

Brian Bolland posted this over on Threads. Such a great cover. His Wonder Woman work was absolutely top shelf. I would have loved to see a full-length story drawn by him.

Question for any Scooby fans out there: If someone was going to produce a couple of new audio commentaries for Be Cool Scooby-Doo episodes, which would you consider to be the top two that you would want to hear people involved with the show talking about?

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 โšก

Dadโ€™s 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 itโ€™s their own fault. So I hope Kemiโ€™s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.
