Today’s theme music. It’s in-service day

Last day of winter break.

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes

I’ve got enough to take care of today, again, at a higher rate than normal, but I still need $350 to cover the rest of the week. Anything is helpful.

In other news, comic artist Jae Lee is coming to a comic show (somewhat) near me in a couple months. Tempted to make arrangements to check that out

The imperial fascist machine demands blood and oil. I hate everything about this timeline

Hi friends. Marlene broke her ankle on New Year's and is going to need surgery for it. It's also going to keep her from working for a good little while. A friend very kindly set up a GoFundMe for her, and any help is appreciated.

Sadly Evergreen.

Transformers: Beast machines is on and all I can think is “fuck Dan Didio”. Dude has been mucking things up since my childhood and I didn’t even know it

As a seasoned Bama hater, tonight’s Rose Bowl warms my cold, cold football heart

HAPPY NEW YEAR My first video to ever blow up was a very negative review of Yooka-Laylee. I don’t take back anything I said in that video However, its remake Yooka-RePlaylee is absolutely incredible. Amazing what a difference 8 years can make, @playtonicgames.com Watch here, youtu.be/fCL68PT1SW4

Didn’t hit the goal in time so had to pay for the room for just today at the regular/non long term rate, so I still need to raise $600 by tomorrow morning before my shift at work or I’ll have to go day by day at much greater expenditure. Anything anyone is able to spare would be greatly appreciated!

With unemployment assistance done and my job search coming up zero, I have no money coming in. I can make this month with about $500, just to cover bills and give me time to hopefully get seasonal work I’ve been applying for. Can’t express enough the gratitude I have to those who’ve helped before.

Mike Carlin, probably: You know Etrigan is a Rhyming demon and speaks in various rhyme structures Byrne: yeah…fuck that. I’m not Alan Moore.

In the first Superman comic of the new millenium, Braniac brings the City of Tomorrow into tomorrow with a forcible tech upgrade. Fortunately for mild mannered reporter Clark Kent, Braniac rather adorably thinks phone booths are still a thing.

“A new notebook will totally fix me,” I mutter to myself every new year.

I survived 2025 and I aim to survive 2026 to spite the most vile and corrupt. I will not let them get the satisfaction of winning.

Happy New Year, nerds

Happy New Year, everyone.

And with that I believe this concludes the 2025 comics thread. Finished just shy of 500 goal but still read 27 more comics. Including all of the Crisis on an infinite Earths and the Watchmen (for the first time!) debating on doing a new list next year or something different. Still a lot of fun

Early thoughts after thumbing through Age of Revelation Finale

I’ve read far more X-men comics this year than one person should read. Yet, I wouldn’t have it any other way working with the Rundown team

We (@danmorris.bsky.social @extremelyuncanny.com @gcarmona3.bsky.social @projectmarbles.bsky.social ) waded through the muck to bring you the gems that defied the odds of an astonishing down year for Marvel.

Every year I post this and I will continue to do so. Happy New Year’s Eve, folks.

Spending the final afternoon of 2025 editing my podcast

A guy I went to high school with was always bringing in biscuits and gravy to eat, like 3 days a week. An assignment we had once was to write haikus. I was his ghost writer for one he turned in: "Pool Full Of Gravy Oh, How Wonderful You Are Pass The Biscuits, Please."

Sheeeeeeee-ittttt! Just terrible hearing that Isiah Whitlock Jr. has passed at the tender age of 71. You owned every scene you were in in The Wire, my good man, and will be missed. 🌹

When did this become sexier than this!?

It's nasal!

Writing about that immediate Post-Crisis Byrne Era of Superman gets weird at times because Byrne was Marveling it up and trying to use familiar villains but update them for the 80's. Yet almost immediately after he leaves the books we get some return to the norm. Case in point Brainiac Milton Fine

Welp final days of 2025 check in

Waking up sick is definitely symbolic of 2025 as a whole

Jeez do I have to read Legends to understand these issues of the Superman titles

Its a bit breezy today

Of the writer/artist of post-Crisis Superman, Jerry Ordway doesn’t get enough love. Too much attention is given to Byrne, Jurgens is my favorite, but damn Ordway’s art just sings in ways that Byrne’s doesn’t

Byrne’s Superman run is at times weird and flawed but at the same time it’s informative to almost all Superman media. Superman #2 is pretty much the basis for Gunn’s Superman

Why did you give me cancer, Cyborg?

We’ve all been there, Cliff. For like the last 10 years at least

Oh no! Yellow Boots Superman is back

My kid was playing his scooter thing and practically hammered into my ankle like that scene from Misery. Just take me out

I present to you all Summers family tree via Simpsons

If I had the time; I would totally do a Simpson X comics account. But for now it will just be when I have time to post my random musings

Chris Claremont, community Theatre director proudly presents: Inferno

Also, yesterday while playing Marvel Vs Capcom 2 with the twins Twin A: who is cable? Twin 1: yeah what’s his deal? Me: long story short he’s cyclops large kid sent to the future but back in the present. Long story we ain’t got time for this

Spent the past couple weeks trying to convince my fraternal twin sons they are not identical so they don’t have the exact same DNA I am starting to think I’m not a great biology teacher because they are insistent that they have the same dna
