Yesterday, the Google AI summary that appears at the top of search results manufactured a 1990s Australian newsstand comics wholesaler out of thin air. Cue lots of backwards and forwards, "Where are you getting this info from", "link me to any web page that mentions this business", etc

Breathtaking new image of the moon from Artemis II.

Digging up buried treasure

"My Former Friends" is a new eight-page comic drawn by @pauljonmilne.bsky.social and written by myself. You can read it in full below or purchase a high-res .pdf for a price of your choosing at the link (process files available for purchase for $6USD): hagaipalevsky.itch.io/myformerfrie...

Despite all these unmasking covers and this being really the only period that I actually read Spider-Man, it's 2026 and I still have no idea who the Hobgoblin actually was

Good old Charlton, faking their newsstand barcodes as well as their Statement of Ownership numbers

Ah, been looking for one of these for ages

Give me a call, my number is Fo Fo Pu I P Hk

Jacked my job in to go back to the arms dealing. Moving some stuff around in my mum's garage and just found a whole new room of stuff -

Random comic find of the day - did Nancy A. Collins coin 'grim and gritty'? From Amazing Heroes #101, August 1986

Full Colour Omnibus Edition of Zenith coming in December 2026. Iirc the super limited, super expensive Complete edition from 13 (!) years ago was advertised as 'will not be offered in this form again' or similar. Recolour a Get Out of Jail card on this front, clearly.

@farawaypress.com Hi John, I hope you're well. Bit of a blast from the past here, but could I possibly ask you a couple of questions about Eastern News distributing comics to Waldenbooks etc back in the 80's and 90's?

The numbers on Spotify suggest that Hot Snakes are significantly more popular than Rocket From The Crypt, how can this possibly be true

Been trying to remember the name of this for about 10 years. Never played it (iirc it was disk only and we didn't have a disk drive) but remember seeing it in Zzap 64 and thought it looked class

Random cool comic cover I saw this morning - IRON MAN #185 by Luke 'The Duke' McDonnell and Steve Mitchell

Issue #39 of our newsletter is out now, ft. Absolute Martian Manhunter, Acarii Crossii, adventures in pyramid building, another Glasgow, Batman: Dark Patterns, Chair Punk, Inland Empire and more! mindless-ones.ghost.io/some-kind-of...

Just finished watching The War Between the Land and the Sea

I'm kind of fascinated with how, coming up forty years after Zenith Phase Three was published, there are still a whole heap of questions about who all the British superheroes from the various alternates are or who they're based on. And that the best stab at it was written more than twenty years ago

Quite impressive that ChatGPT knows how to make a nuclear bomb - presumably not publicly available info per the report below - but doesn't know what the first trade paperback DC Comics published is, despite this being very easy to verify with <1 minute of Googling

Issue #33 of our newsletter is out now, ft. superfictions vs. an exhuasted reality, Warrior (not a prank, not an imaginary story), Frankenstein, The Boo Radleys, Keeper, Lovejoy, The Legend of Unicron, a Mindless cut-up, and more!

RIP Gary Mani Mounfield, one of the greats

Just back from effectively almost a private screening of Tron Ares (me, my eldest kid ,and 4 other people dotted around the cinema). Good music, some arresting visuals, story a bag of nowt, so business as usual for Tron really

Alan Moore

Bill Bixby is still the BEST (David) Bruce Banner actor ever. He brought total conviction, dignity and tragedy to the role. He never phoned it in or hammed it up. Like Christopher Reeve made us believe a man could fly, Bill Bixby was totally a man you wouldn't want to make angry.

Kind of baffled to discover Return of the Jedi wasn't shown on UK TV until Boxing Day 1989, 4 months after Batman came out at the pictures. We didn't have a VCR but I feel like I'd already seen RotJ a ton of times by that point? How or where, I've no idea

Really wasn't expecting it but the first episode of Welcome to Derry was kind of a banger

'...We Are Sex Bob-Omb' from the Scott Pilgrim soundtrack and 'Unlock' by Sonny Vincent & Rocket From The Crypt feature exactly the same riff, in the same key, were written, recorded and released at roughly the same time, but apparently are completely unrelated to one another?

Last issue of New History of the DC Universe out today. Twice as long as the Wolfman/Perez original and not even half as good. Was really looking forward to this but it's mostly been a dud sadly. Glad we got those incredible Scott Koblish variants at least.

Just finished updating and rejiggering a bunch of stuff in the Universe B section of Deep Space Transmissions, including some new nuggets from GM's recent Reddit AMA sites.google.com/deepspacetra...

Do Ennis and Robertson still own The Boys or have they sold it outright to Dynamite? bleedingcool.com/comics/homel...

If anyone has any idea what this proto-Phantom Stranger comic Grant Morrison mentions here might be let me know, I'm all ears

Issue #28 of our newsletter is out now, ft. After Hours, Ras Kass, Van Morrison, Ash vs Evil Dead, a fourth haunting, Magnus Two-Skulls, Aidan Andrew Dun, and more!

Finished watching Alien Earth - a real mixed bag there. The bits that cribbed most heavily from the previous films (Olyphant, Ceesay, Edmondson, the stuff on the ship) were pretty good. Some of the other stuff (the main A plot, unfortunately) were borderline dreadful.

29 covers (so far) for Batman/Deadpool #1. Assuming some (or all) of these 10 retailer-specific covers will come in copy-free and black and white variants, this will probably end up beating Detective Comics #1027 for 'Grant Morrison comic with most variant covers' bleedingcool.com/comics/10-dc...

Grant Morrison eBay Oddity of the Week

Max Lord and a random ULTIMATUM henchman > worse than Hitler, confirmed

Watching Darren Aronofsky's NOAH on a whim and it's absolute dogshit 👍

'Nuclear Man' from 2021. The Superman film he's in is undeniably poor but he is a good design

Very 1978 that the trap Mister Miracle cannot escape is... HIS WIFE!

This is tonight! The launch party for Cindy and Biscuit v2 is happening at @goshcomics.bsky.social between 7 and 9. Come down! #cindyandbiscuit

Like compared to Crisis on Infinite Earths, Watchmen is a comic for babies--just in terms of readability and being able to understand things.

Amidst a million and one other unforced errors, this is absolutely disastrous Monday morning messaging after everything that happened this weekend. This government is cooked.

Everyone knows Darlene from ROSEANNE had Invisibles posters up in her room, but I just noticed today she's got one for The Mystery Play as well ♥️

Issue seventeen of our newsletter is out, ft. Jimmy Corrigan, William Burroughs, collage, cut-up, Nützligeists, Laurent Millet, 'Tracy Jacks', Cindy and Biscuit, and more! mindless-ones.ghost.io/heavy-and-un...

Anyone know what this is? This Dan Mora cover has been used on a bunch of stuff recently but I can't find a trace of this book specifically on Google.

I love the way these bookplates have come out, and OK Comics have been a brilliant booster for C&B. Grab a copy now!

A thrilling (and extremely cheap) find. This might finish off my UK newsagent-stickered run? Didn't even know a stickered #5 existed, what a day

Apparently this does now (or soon will) actually exist
