My spoiler-free review of The Power Fantasy #16 -
GODDAMN.
Dunno what I was expecting, but it wasn't that (in a positive way, obviously).

I have a growing disdain for the “just vibe” community bc it’s like dealing with people who wanna ignore life/the state of the world constantly. And I think it’s another form of arrested development

I still think the single most impressive thing that DC's Absolute line has done is to finally make a Hal Jordan interesting.

FFFFFFFFUCK Gavin Newsom, and fuck the dipshit libs supporting him.

LOLOLOL, this is gonna be fun.

Hell yeah!

Rewatching Twin Peaks lately, and as always, I'm blown away at what an amazing facial actor Jack Nance was, and reminded why Pete Martell is one of my favorite TV characters ever.

Lol, Cody Rhodes' favorite comic ever being fucking Identity Crisis - still the single worst superhero story in history - is just too perfect.

Nothing will make me put a Marvel or DC collection back on the store shelf faster than "remastered" or recolored art.
What a bafflingly stupid and disrespectful thing to do to older works.

The "speculator/investor" mindset is every bit as idiotic in comics as it is in every other area.
I can't imagine how broken one's brain must be to see *everything* as a financial instrument first and foremost.

Is Gen X Actually the Greatest Generation?

This is every bit as vapid and self-congratulatory as you expect it to be based on the headline.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike.

Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.

Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

They could release the piss tape and all of the Apprentice cutting room slurs today and somehow I suspect it still wouldn't move the needle all that much. I don't think there's still a lot of undecideds out there.

DIE: Loaded #1 is, unsurprisingly, a fantastic setup for what should be another amazing and heartbreaking story from Gillen, Hans, et al.

Oh, I did too. I think i just don't want to accept that there are that many dudes out there that are still 13 years old to that degree, haha.

I am eternally baffled at the ongoing popularity of the incomprehensible juvenile dogshit that Rob Liefeld periodically vomits into being.

Oh, so we're doing phrenology again??

Yeah, it's one of the best comics of the last few years, but I'd say it's also one of the best bits of art of the last few years regardless of medium as well.
If you're not reading it, you're really missing out on something special.

I continue to be blown away by how consistently incredible @denizcamp.bsky.social and @ericxyz.bsky.social 's Assorted Crisis Events has been.

Listening to the new Soccer 101 episode about Côte d'Ivoire and being reminded that in my most recent #FM24 save, they ended up somehow winning the 2026 World Cup. 😂

I always get a little sad when I'm reminded that Chuck Dixon exists.

Haha, this is amazing.

Quite surprised to see news about a Southern Bastards TV adaptation, for multiple reasons.
Huh.

It's always felt deeply unfair to me that anxiety & depression are so often a pair rather than an either/or... like, c'mon, brain, can't we just do one or the other?

Traditional liberal multi colored front yard sign but it reads IN THIS HOUSE, WE BELIEVE: YOU BETTER HAVE A FUCKING WARRANT YOU BOOTLICKING NAZI SCUMBAGS YOU'RE LUCKY MY GRANDFATHER ISN'T HERE ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS ICE MUST BE DESTROYED KINDNESS IS EVERYTHING

HEGSETH: *points to general's ribbon bars* "What'd you get that one for? Fucking your mother?"

GENERAL: *sternly* killing vietnamese children

The David Bowie Song You Didn’t Know Was Dedicated to Bob Dylan In Song For Bob Dylan, Bowie fearlessly critiqued one of the biggest names in music. But what was the real story behind this enigmatic track?

This is funniest possible headline for a song literally called "Song for Bob Dylan"

Just saw in DC's current solicits that a single-volume Invisibles compendium releases in January.... hell yeah.
