Tatsuya Nakadai was one of the most prolific actors to ever grace cinema. Few other performers are vital to as many greatest films of all time as he was. When one thinks of Japanese post-war cinema, itโ€™s inevitably his visage, his voice, his presence that come to mind

Brooklynites: with SNAP benefits expiring as of today, here are two ways you can help feed neighbors: donate to CHiPS, the food pantry/ women's shelter in Park Slope: www.chipsonline.org. Or leave food in the community fridge on 6th Street between 4th and 5th avenues, next to the Postmark Cafe.

For sure, Kyle and Wally are my preferred flash/gl and that legacy aspect really played into what made them such interesting characters

Beyond who you mentioned from marvel the only other one i can kind of point to is kate bishop hawkeye but even she really didnt stick past the fraction/aja run

Pretty on the money, that's what made Starman such a great read

An underappreciated master of the medium. His batman comics are awesome

Been doing a big Criminal reread of late, stellar work all the way through

New today over at @bwdr.bsky.social, a little ode to Jonathan Demmeโ€™s glorious anti-rom com SOMETHING WILD.

Absolutely gorgeous work!

One of my all time faves. Griffith and Liottas performances are on another level

Hes got a bit of 80s batman in him where hes still recognizably batman but a little more human. I like fractions voice for bruce. Excited to read more

jorge jimenez has now partnered with 3 writers through his batman run and delivered consistent excellence. Hes a modern jim aparo

Had a great time with the first issue of fractions batman. loved that this issue functioned super well as an intro to the status quo while being a one and done story with batman focusing more on saving people. Feels like it goes hand in hand with the blue costume coming back (1/2)

After tearing through The Knives ogn last week, ive been on a big Criminal reread kick. Always loved these books but its been a decade since i read them and coming back to them is like a revelation. Arguably the best crime comics ever
