Superman in this has too much of this energy:

We’re watching the most recent Superman movie and it’s just non stop expository dialogue.

When I go to see shorebirds, I don't just jump in the car and go. I do some research first. What are the tides like? What times? How high/low? When does the sun set/rise? Also - the weather. It's not always great. But when it's great - it's fabulous. Today looks ideal. Pic: bar-tailed godwit.

"Slice of life comics" are comics in which Ogami Itto, sometimes known as Lone Wolf, slices someone - thus taking their life.

I don’t know how Vaughn is supposed to write a movie screenplay where he can’t just write a bunch of identical last-page-twists into it.

The American artist I most associate with this page layout is of course Rob Liefeld. Nothing matters more to The Rob than showing off Shatterstar in his cute little tactical outfits. It’s exactly the same as Takahashi showing off the apartment manager’s fashionable skirts.

Reading a new lesbian romance manga "Ayaka is in Love with Hiroko", and here's the classic Rumiko Takahashi "look at how cute this girl is in this outfit" page layout right in chapter one.

I'm not sure what's more surprising, that so many Americans are willingly watching an educational program like 60 Minutes, or that they're still making new seasons of "Ghosts."

Now that Chainsaw Man is ending forever (no takebacks), everyone is going to have to start reading the extremely bad "Class of Brains" every Tuesday instead.

We don’t talk enough about how good “those clown comics” is as an insult.

Two of the Shonen Jump manga I read have been stuck in "The Final Battle" for months, which makes it extra funny that Fujimoto is just like "by the way, last chapter next week" out of nowhere.

People are rightly worried about the phrase "venture capitalist" but maybe it will be good for this site to be run by a boring business man without a wikipedia page instead of someone who spends so much time doing forum troll shenanigans.

I got a big raise at my email job today, going to splurge and buy a big hard drive and an external cd player for my laptop. Maybe a new pair of pants.

I thought the nazi tattoo mercenary dude announced he was dropping out of the senate race to spend more time with his family and also fleeing to norway. How is he suddenly the frontrunner.

The american direct-maket comics industry puts out so many Horror Genre comics and I don't think there's ever been one that's actually scary. Obviously not everyone can be Umezz but I'm not sure we need so many versions of Cullen Bunn.

Experimenting with this fun Galactus piece by @kellybrack.bsky.social

I was so focused on the punch that I skipped right over the gag where she’s drinking from an oil pump lol. Might be the best joke in the whole book.

It always catches me off guard whenever Colombo takes pity on the killers at the end, like oh this asshole pedophile is your boy all of a sudden?

This is why God punished Pokemon to only speak their own names.

Johnny Cash as a megachurch preacher is such inspired Columbo villain casting.

I feel like I need to go back and finish the last 2 episodes of GQwuuuuuuX before I can have an informed take on Evangelion 2: No Anno DLC Edition. I assume they didn’t stick the landing on that one.

I'm fascinated by the Europe Comics' business model where they pump out a TON of translations that you can only find as ebooks on select library apps where absolutely no one reads them. Print this one out and sell it at the Yellowstone National Park visitor center!

Just look at how mean this two-page gag is:

Does anyone know if First Second still requires creators to deliver a full script before starting to draw the book, and if so whether that rule applies to their newish “comics for adults” imprint?

I’ve been reading Concrete again and I’m glad Chadwick is making more because no one else is doing that sort of stiff low-concept serialized comic for adults, your dad’s fourth favorite creator owned comic. It’s an important unfilled niche.

Warning everyone now that I will be reading and getting mad about these dumb comics as soon as they’re available for free from the library.

GUYS have you seen this. antarctica on google maps. go look at it. this is tech struggling to process the Sublime

Space action from DRIFT MARLO #2

This specific sort of lazy last-page reveal/cliffhanger is such a hallmark of superhero comics now that its jarring to see it deployed in this historical manga.

How many episodes of The Flintstones do you think Francis Ford Coppola watched in 1973 before he found the perfect clip to include in The Conversation.

BRACK! & DANIEL after KIRBY & Lee. Black and white dressing.

And we have lift-off! A royal spoonbill at Bald Hill Beach, South Australia.

Incredible guest stars in this Columbo episode, Robbie the Robot AND Jessica Walter.

I have seen zero jokes on here about a major airport grounding all flights because the army got so scared of a birthday balloon they shot it with a big laser. Where are all the lazy “weather balloon” conspiracy gags.

Speaking of Ditko and horses. BLACK FURY #18, 1959.

I mainly know Nexus from the issue of "Dreadstar" where he does an intergalactic genocide so I'm surprised how much his early adventures are about him judging another violent vigilante for not killing people the right way.

“You still have to acknowledge this abuser’s influence on the industry/medium” also doesn’t really work with Gaiman because no one wants to admit that in hindsight the real main impact of Sandman was normalizing superhero comics switching artists every 3 issues.

Seeing this dumb take make the rounds again pisses me off every time.

an experimental 4-page comic from 2020 about asteroid dwellers becoming prey for a mining machine and its onboard AI

No-one better buy Gaiman's new book. Quite apart from anything else, the charity shop ecosystem can't sustain another one

Just watched "Weapons." I was under the impression it was a a movie about school shootings so I was surprised that its actually another movie about the thing horror movie writers fear the most: old women.

Real-life Tachikoma ♡

Jim Burns, “Martian Rainbow,” 1990

Caught myself wondering if the Science Saru GITS show is going to be as inscrutable as the manga and then remembered Toh Enjoe is writing it lol. Did anyone understand what was going on in Godzilla Singular Point?
