May 27ths books. Absolute Wonder Woman 20. Diana is captured and tortured by Veronica Cale. But thanks to her ingesting Persephone’s seed, she is obligated to return to Hades’ underworld once a month. Her getting involuntarily whisked away against her wishes is incorrectly interpreted by her friend ...

Anthony Head, who played Giles on Buffy, but more importantly was in those Necafe coffee commercials that entranced an entire generation. He was 72.

The journalistic integrity of ‘60 Minutes’ apparently.
Another foundational bedrock institution I’d always believed could weather anything. How long before its entire correspondent team is made up of Gen Z right-wing conspiracy pod-fluencers?

Time to go scream some more into the void.

Sooooo….HToosh finally came to a “conclusion”. I can honestly barely remember the plot because it was stupid and endlessly delayed. But basically the Bat-Family are all hunting Batman for whatever reason and he’s had to “ally” with Joker and a bunch of other Rogues. The “conclusion” of the story is ...

So. I started reading last week’s books. But I only got three issues into the pile, because the end of Batman 163(which is the end of HToosh, which is also the end of the previous Batman ongoing, even though the current ongoing is on issue 10 already) infuriated me SOOO much that I literally stopped...

Scream 7. Sydney Prescott Evans continues her reign as the most prolific killer in the Scream franchise. They brought Matt Lillard back as Stu. When a semi famous performer from the late 90s/early 2000s showed up in a minor role halfway thru the movie, I immediately assumed they were the killer. And...

2) Whoever booked all those bands for Trumpstock 250 celebration must have thought music peaked in 1991. How did they even find anyone from Milli Vanilli and C&C Music Factory? The budget is like $5B in taxpayer money. Book $300k worth of talent and pocket the rest. This administration is all a...

Some more Avengers books. These were miniseries and oneshots that came out during Aaron’s run, but before MacKay’s run. Avengers:Curse of the Man-Thing oneshot. To celebrate Man-Thing’s 50th anniversary, Marvel did three oneshots(the others being a Spidey and an X-Men issue) that loosely tied into o...

Digging thru some boxes I brought over from my parents basement last year and then just stacked in my garage. Found a bunch of Ashcan Issues and these Marvel Collector’s Packs. The “value” of the Packs on cbrealm is less than what many of the individual issues inside are valued at. I think keeping t...

5/20’s books. Absolute Green Arrow 1. Dinah Lance is a private security specialist who’s been hired to protect some unscrupulous billionaires who were business with her dead ex-bf, the billionaire Oliver Queen. A mysterious assassin called the Green Arrow is hunting those billionaires down. I’m not ...

Just got home from Mando+Grogu. It felt like two episodes of the show. Not in a terrible way. I actually liked that you needn’t have seen a single episode of Mandalorian to enjoy the movie. The relationship between the two is laid out in the opening text, and that’s as much as you need. None of the ...

The conclusion of Jason Aaron’s seven year Avengers epic. Avengers Forever 1-3. Robbie Reyes and the Deathlok that were displaced in Avengers 750 end up in a dystopian world run by the Black Skull. They are captured by Skull’s armored War Machine soldiers and Ghost Rider is brutally tortured for mon...

Local Comic Con today. With actual panels and celebrities signing shit. Cost me $35 to get in. I was a little annoyed because I have zero interest in meeting the guy that does the voice for the guy on that show. Or the guy that was on that sci-fi show thirty years ago. Steve Leialoha was there, but ...

I’m an optimist. I believe if you keep asking AI the right questions, and if it is indeed a learning program, you could convince it to electronically steal/transfer funds and hire people to take out all the oligarchs of the world.

Pew. Pew. Pew.

I last read Jason Aaron’s Avengers run back in March 2022. Picking up where I left off… Avengers 37. The finale of the Age of Konshu arc. I think I bought the variant cover at the time and this is the regular cover. Avengers 43-44. The Phoenix returns and settled on Maya Lopez aka Echo as its new ho...
