You guys ever think about the Guy Davis album cover illustrated by Guy Davis.

Digital illustration in comic book style of 1966 Adam West Batman. He’s making a very manic and stressed out gritted-teeth grimace as he runs with a comically large bomb with a lit fuse held in both hands over his head. Three speech bubbles, the last being a red and orange burst, contain the words β€˜Maybe it will happen today!’ πŸ¦‡ πŸ’£

My preference is to enjoy them externally, but if you need me to eat one to make this happen, I will do my best.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

This photo is from the LA riots in 1992. Whoever was in charge of placing it with this story should be publicly fired.

A space pirate in a purple jumpsuit is bragging to an insurance agent with a green cat/parrot creature (a parcat) on his shoulder. Pirate: "ha ha! Not even the space navy can break through my force field -- thanks to YOU, Bert Brandon!" Bert, thinking: "Omigosh! I've ruined Interplanetary Insurance, Inc.!" Telepathic Parcat, saying right out loud: "Omigosh! I've ruined Interplanetary Insurance, Inc.!" Art by Carmine Infantino, words by Sid Gerson.

Your Prime Day reminder that Amazon...

-Donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund
-Scrapped plans to display tariff costs after pressure from Trump
-Shelled out $40M for a documentary about Melania Trump

I think "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" exemplifies American culture more than any other art piece.

Most cultures' folklore involves cautionary tales warning people not to tempt the devil.

The American version has the challenger win because he is way cooler than the devil.

Yea, that sums it up.

I hope the crossover is great! I hope it brings in a lot of excited fans, both from the general readership and Absolute-only DC buyers. But... I can wait.

Wait, and hope that by the time this ends, I'll have a Legion book to look forward to.

I'm currently buying two series (JLU and Flash) that will be crossing over with the event, and I've honestly thought about dropping them for the duration. If they weren't being written by Mark Waid, who pretty much always delivers, they'd be gone, if only to keep in sync with the app releases.

And I'm sure the art will be cool and dynamic, but I'm not someone who swoons at some butch new power armor. Settle down, tough guy. How 'bout you be a hero without spiked gloves?

I mean...it's a tournament, right? So we already know the basic structure. I'm sure there'll be some twists, but it's a big brawl to see who's toughest, or best equipped in some other capacity to be "King Omega."

Which sounds great for pro-wrestling fans! I'm just not one.

It's such a sprawling crossover that I'd probably be reading it on Ultra regardless; it's too much to spend, otherwise. But I'd resolved to do the same for Absolute Power, and it grabbed me. DC KO doesn't have the same story juice.

I've been really enjoying DC's "All In" era so far... but nothing I've seen about DC KO is exciting me. Hoping it proves me wrong once it arrives on DCUI Ultra next month.
