Not a hoax! Not a dream! Not an imaginary story!

MC2 read. A villain possibly from 616, Spyral, attacks an FF exhibit to steal a power source from the Negative Zone to get him home.

Was in a Captain Marvel mood to distract me from how awful the world is right now And totally forgot about this wonderful message from @kellysue.bsky.social that she wrote in my copy It was exactly what I needed today 🥰

Remember, when the origin was first revised to include foster parents, Jonathan and Marth--err, John and Mary dying was a given fact, leaving the "how" undefined in comics until the "Pirate Treasure Plague" explanation* *The Adventures of Superman on TV had Jonatha--Joh--Eben die of a heart attack

This is a great analysis. I was initially taken aback by the "how" but that makes sense.

Oh wow that is brutally dark for a Silver Age story

Can someone tell me why Ma and Pa Kent opened a mysterious Caribbean chest containing a deadly virus and paid for it with their life? Was this an actual Superboy comic or a LOSH retcon?

Current mood. Definitely.

(Prayers up if that's your thing and you don't mind sparing one.)

My work is done

Spidey fans, starting at around the 59 minute mark there's a fascinating LOSH parallel to the Clone Saga. Really cool stuff.

"Waiter, I'll have the RFK Jr"

Finally using my years of Legion of Superheroes knowledge for good (or possibly evil?). I hope if Superboy listens to this that they retcon it so he didn’t

Brainy's a pretty smart guy and has the inside track on how important Does This Come In Chromium? is for humanity's future, I'm in

Thanks. The goal was to evoke the science fiction novels of the 1970s. Art by Sonny and Biddy: sonnyandbiddy.com

Today's grab, Marvel Team-Up #41 (1975) 1/3

Beginning at the 33:18 mark on Part 2 of the Clone Saga roundtable, Todd Dezago tells @mattbegins.bsky.social about his pitch to resolve the Clone Saga with a time loop centered in this MTU arc. Great stuff!

And I’ll finish this list off with Justice League Dark! One of the bigger successes that DC had with this was the discovery of this gem. They’ve tried dark teams before but to little success, all they had to do was slap the Justice League brand on it! Obviously! 😁 Good era for supernatural capes

Short of Lord Lucas himself, any non-George person running Lucasfilm will have the same problem of not being George Lucas.

The great thing about enhanced covers is that after falling out of favor and developing a reputation for being crass (sometimes deservedly), they are increasingly appreciated as a genuine artform that cannot be approximated digitally.

My entire show could be fueled by the one box!

It is 2026 which means we are now 15 YEARS removed from one of the most controversial publishing decisions of all time: the relaunch of the DC Universe with the New52, and although its creation was rushed and imperfect, I still enjoyed a bit of it! Here are books I think are still worth a look 🧵💥

Justice League 3000/3001 In a future with no Legion Keith Giffen and Howard Porter cobbled together this sick idea about parasitic justice league powers and memories inside selected people and it turned into one of the most original and cool books the era had to offer, too often slept on!!!

Great post!

2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣6️⃣ #Comic 1 of 39. @dc.com #Batman Death in the Family Robin lives. @jmdematteis.bsky.social creates an Elseworlds tale that truly reckons with the complexities and emotional resonance of the Bat Family.🦇

By no means am I an expert on interrogation, but “choke the truth out of you” seems like a risky method for getting information.

This is the kid that gets mad at everyone else for playing with their toys the “wrong way”.

For the evening crowd…

Started reading Supergirl by @mooncalfe1.bsky.social @tamrabonvillain.bsky.social last night, what an absolute joy. Silver Age concept and aesthetics wed to contemporary storytelling and characterization. 10/10

Coming January 13th from Neotext! neotextcorp.com/fiction/dark...

Next week on DOES THIS COME IN CHROMIUM: Screenwriter @patcasey.bsky.social (SONIC THE HEDGEHOG, VIOLENT NIGHT) and I try our best not to flunk out of Legion Academy. (Spoiler alert: Pat graduates with honors while I have to go to summer school) Episode drops on 01/06/26

Still thinking about this page

Nancy By Ernie Bushmiller January 01,1943

Magic Johnson was the grand marshal of the Rose Parade today, and as someone who remembers his November 1991 HIV announcement: if you had told anybody that day that he would be alive and healthy 34+ years later, I don't think they would have believed you. Medicine and research—they work.

This is the TZ that haunted me more than any other as a kid

January 1, 1818: Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus" is published anonymously by the small London publishing house of Lackington, Hughes, Harding, Mavor, & Jones.

“I was thinking it must be nice to have a partner. Someone who understands why we do what we do.” I could read comic books with Robin and Superman teaming up all day long. Especially when paired with Kevin Nowlan art.

I think I'm a clone now! In late 2025, I had the opportunity to discuss Spectacular Spider-Man 225 with the king of chromium, the herald of holodiscs, @mattbegins.bsky.social ! Listen in as we remember that the Clone Saga is better than its reputation, Buscema/Sinkevitch rocks, and Firefist exists

May the year ahead be truly transformative for all of us. May we step out of shadows and confusion into the light of kindness, compassion, wisdom, and simple human decency. May we manifest unending magic and miracles. If we dream it together, we can make it so.

That is so cool! McGuinness' Superman was a big deal, it was almost like McFarlane on Spidey (though not as big an impact).

Psst. Hey, come closer. No, closer. I have a New Year’s secret for you. It’s this: If you care about people you don’t even know, and try to live your life that way, you are absolutely beautiful no matter what you look like.
