A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Is this what hope feels like?

And the cover…

This *really* sucks. Teen Vogue has consistently had some of the best political coverage of the last several years. They are one of the few outlets that met the moment. (Hire these writers!!)

ok this cheered me up

it's BATMAN

HOLY DAVID BROTHERS, BATMAN!

New article coming to Shelfdust this Wednesday!

An interview with Julia Gfrörer: 'I don't think that I could make like a nice book if I wanted to' - The Comics Journal In a conversation with Matthew Perpetua, Gfrörer discusses how she started in comics, her early inspirations, the creative freedom of making zines, and why some people have a hard time understanding c...

This thread is about Evanston, but this has also been going on without reprieve in Elgin, Aurora, and other Chicago suburbs—a metro area of nearly 10 million people.

I would go with Uncanny X-Men #137. That’s the book that picking it up off the drugstore magazine rack just unlocked something in me that’s never been turned off. There were comics before but that’s a turning point for me.

We don’t appreciate these two nearly enough.

A huge thank you to Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman for helping us create a more accurate Medicare Advantage ad. Full segment at the link in our bio!

Outside Chicago—

State police and sheriff's officers at Broadview detention center are out in riot gear.

A large Halloween demo is being prevented from doing a Jericho walk through the intersection.

Arrests of protesters ongoing. Troopers have also assaulted multiple reporters already.

I grow old ... I grow old ...

I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.

There’s a BMW dealership in Schereville with a billboard on I294 that quotes Tombstone— “I’ll be your Huckleberry.”

You’re dying of tuberculosis but will fight Johnny Ringo for me? That’s awfully cool of you, BMW.

Can the Eurythmics or David Bowie save the world? Check out Jason’s Death in Trieste to find out.

These books were my first exposure to Adam Warlock and remain some of my favorite comics.

I did! It was! Go read!

Suburbanites are blowing whistles on ICE too. But this whole fucking seige of Chicago is predicated on the hobgoblin image Chicago as the sociological Other, so it's fair to point out the disconnect between that image and the reality you see in videos of ICE raids.

My basic opinion is that it doesn’t involve Ed Harris, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and filling an abandoned nuclear reactor tank with water, this budgetary spike is not justifiable.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Reading Kieron Gillen's recent-ish stories and can't help but place them in dialogue with the X-Men.

Wic + Div -> Immortal X-Men-> The Power Fantasy.

But now reading DIE and it's in the realm of Magik's Limbo stories, particularly the original miniseries. And that's not a bad thing.

The Comics Courier, A Comics Criticism Journal [Issue 3] A newspaper-format journal dedicated to in-depth comics criticism edited by Tiffany Babb

I've talked about the Courier Catalogue before, but I want to talk about it again. Have you ever wished there was a list (or catalogue) of amazing places to read and listen to comics criticism? The Catalogue is that! And I am honestly so excited about it!

Maybe it’s not the right time to be writing about a lone gunman prowling the streets of NYC. Or maybe it is as Garth Ennis and Goran Parlov are less focused on the exploits of Frank Castle the man and more dialed into the symbol that is The Punisher. The Punisher: Valley Forge, Valley Forge (2008) isn’t the story to go to if you want to know what makes Frank Castle who he is: there are plenty of other comics (most of them written by Ennis) or that. Valley Forge, Valley Forge isn’t a story about Frank Castle and his adventures. It’s something deeper and more meaningful than that. Ennis and Parlov, an Irishman and a Croatian, instead are digging into power in this book, particularly American power and the people who wield it. And ultimately, it comes down to this isn’t a war story or a superhero story or even a vigilante story— it’s a story about business.

“Ennis’ story forces us to ask just who are the good guys.”

Honestly, I think these strips are perfect in black and white. And it looks like the b/w version is still available online.
