It's the big dracula jamboree from Sinners, except instead of the Irish vampire dancing a jig, it's Marty McFly playing Johnny B Goode from Back to the Future

Sinners (2025):
There are legends of people born with the gift of making music so true, it can pierce the veil between life and death, conjuring spirits from the past and the future.

@apocrypals.bsky.social My spouse had a thought:if the Superman of 1978 was a Christlike figure sent by a benevolent Jor-El to save the world, the Superman of 2025 is a Marcionic Christ sent to subvert the will of an evil Jor-El-as-demiurge.

I've really enjoyed writing about these comics by @collinkelly.bsky.social @jacksonlanzing.bsky.social Christopher Cantwell and scores of amazing artists for the past few years. This was an amazing era of Trek comics that will be missed.

@mikemcmahan.bsky.social Just got the season 5 blu-ray (I refuse to call it "The Final Season"). Was wondering, is Ensign Mackler named after the VO agent of that name?

A comic panel. Captain Britain is on the left side, grabbing his shoulder in pain. He shouts "GUUGH!" On the right is the bad guy. He's holding up his hand, which looks sharp. He says, "The pain surprises you, Captain? You are alarmed at how easily I could breach your force field leaving that point unprotected. Then you are not aware of what I have done to my arm? It is a ninja trick. You know of the ninjas, of course?"

Two panels. In the first, the two are still facing each other down, but now we are seeing the baddie's hand in the foreground, while Cap holds his shoulder in the background. The baddie monologues, "They pound their hands into rock until they are covered with a thick callous. Then they sharpen the callous to a keen point. Of course, the hand isn't much use for anything after that..." In the second panel, the baddie has sliced open Cap's costume, again at the shoulder. He says, "...except cutting." Cap says "RRRAAARGH!" There is a caption that says "The shoulder, again. The shoulder."

@andrewhickey.500songs.com Working my way through the podcast series and just listened to the Sherry by the Four Seasons bonus ep. Was the intended "cameo" they'd be making going to be regarding Wowie Zowie?
