Comic book pick ups today yes I did pick up the manga by scholastic because what

Scholastic fucked yo the last page of this in an interesting way I’ve seen no American manga company ever do in their lives

OKAY ALAN WHAT GRUMPY OLD MAN SHIT ARE YOU GOING TO SAY ABOUT "I want to thank you for supporting me all these years...." .....okay Alan thank you I will take your book recommendation now. Thank you, you have a lovely day.

Chris Claremont's brain when he was trying to think of a character that would plausibly know the true name of Wolverine:

All things considered, Batman never meeting Zorro, a character that by all accounts SHOULD be public domain is kinda fucked up He met The Shadow at least.

*oh god I’m in a YouTube video again *oh it’s just a photo of me in a gunpla meet Thank god I was having flashbacks

Doing a deep dive into Wizard aka the 90s comic trash magazine that still had effect on our lives this weekend I ended up finding one of the earliest pokemon articles debuting a few months after the show hit it’s kind of fascinating to see how they advertised it

One of the more weirder deep dives I went into this weekend was spider-girl popularity, in the late 90s it seems like she was actually quite the hit character if being able to go up against pokemon at the time

Anyway the true story on Spider-Man getting a title more or less

Need to post more here but for fun the reason Spider-Man didn’t have two titles at the time like Batman or Superman

Look what FUCKING THICK book I got today

This is our world now.

This need to happen. Like we need those title sequences.

@exaltedspeed.bsky.social I was hearing talks of a Jimmy Olsen show and thought what if every episode title/ description (or even cold open).was some.ridoculous crazy "clickbait" that is only just barely technically accurate to what happens in the episode to mimic the crazy silver age comic covers.

Comics for this week

*priorities

My latest order from usagundam store

George talked about the importance of narrative art, the power of shared mythology, and more- I feel like a lot of people in the audience were bummed they didn’t have time for Q&A but I was stoked, I could listen to this guy talk for days

Comic buys this week

Huh so you can just scrap a entire 52 episode show of half hour episodes without releasing a thing

Non spoiler review of Superman, it's a fun movie, but it's def James Gunn Superman and if your tired of his style well here is more of it, that said it's not him at his worst, and the jokes are not that overwhelming, besides one controversial change to Superman's origin, I liked it

“I don’t worry about ideas I already have a million of them”

Comic shop pick up for the week

From Mark Waid's facebook and I'm sorry if your hearing this from me but Jim Shooter has passed after battling cancer for the past couple years. He will always be controversial but in the end of his years I've never seen a MORE ENCOURAGING voice for new people entering comics

started seed today. why's it Like That

Testing the waters but JM is a good pick for writer

We never did leave the 90s?

Hi and welcome to my lecture about Gquuuuuux being the gundam equivalent of beast wars. I’m glad you all made it.

This makes me sad

Supported my local comic book shop today. @exaltedspeed.bsky.social Everyone in Marvel sure likes to beef with Godzilla. No less than 7 marvel books with Godzilla fighting someone or some group.

My comics for the week

Reading the comic probably

The new black panther is going to cause a car crash of discourse and I’m not sure what side is going to end up looking worse

Stan Sakai's early days as a comic fan, the silver age hit him like a truck

A story today

Peter David was one of my favorite writers, when I was young he showed me you can do different tones and blend them together to make more human stories. He was given some rough and amazing jobs and his is a work I will always come back to. May he rest in peace

Some people need help

I’m going to be honest we didn’t really embrace the smurfs as comics most only know the cartoon and I would be hard pressed to find comics as a kid that said this is more complicated than just why

I heard it in her voice

Lost my password for a second and died I came back

For Fun I was asked to make some TOUGH comic question for free comic book day at my local stores so here are some, some of these are MORE easy than others, and some are a bit bullshit but see how many you can use without goolge or asking me.

*Im now prepared for free comic book day All day going to stores and then building gunpla at club I’m basically a ghost tomorrow

God…..

Am I’m enjoying omega prime?

God fire convoy

Goooood he’s good

*What a reader had to do in order to read all the amazing Spider-man comic in 1982.

"oh it's just a Article looking at the Ditko era of Spider-man, it's going to go on about how it's so sacred in comic fandom..." "whenever I tell people I like these comics people ask why do I like hacks..." "NANI?"

Man Superman comics are confusing........
