This was back in the theaters this weekend & it was so fun to see it on the big screen again after 23 years. Some of the effects don't hold up but this is still one of the best comic book movies of all time & probably my favorite. This was the movie that made Marvel realize the MCU was possible.

September 30 October 1

Ad for second Spidey-Supes crossover (July 1981).

What’s a movie people wouldn't believe you’ve never seen?

Stingray defeated!

A little something different for #TopShelfFriday. Not a big key but one I'm very fond of--the first book I ever read written by Bill Mantlo, my favorite CB writer during my comic collecting youth. I loved Mantlo's commitment to serialized storytelling & ambitious narrative vision. Still miss him.

That’s definitely a top shelf comic, nice! Here’s my #TopShelfFriday pick I got in the mail the other week, What If vol 2 issue 1 #ComicsSky

Haven't done one of these in a while: A Stingray maze courtesy of Marvel Fun & Games!

Adam is such a ridiculous character. He does weekly 180 degree personality morphs as either hero or villain based solely on what the story needs. #TSITP

Tbh my expectations for the #TSITP finale were quite low so being spared another Belly peach eating flashback was a major W.

This movie did NOT underachieve. I don't care what anyone says. This was a good movie that made a lot of money.

Coming in late but it's still #SheHulkSuday!

Very late to the party on this but here's part of my #NCBD buys from last week lol.

The World Trade Center Twin Towers in Marvel comics over the years. #NeverForget #September11 (3rd image is from Alpha Flight #11)

Amazing Spider-Man #36 (released November 14, 2001; written by J. Michael Straczynski; art by John Romita Jr, Scott Hanna and Dan Kemp) #NeverForget #September11

This is the foil variant I got in my #Batman blind bag. I seriously thought about buying this cover but went with the main cover instead so I'm very happy with this.

Don't bug out--it's #Spiderday! 🕷️🕸️ (released July 22, 1977; art by Gil Kane & Joe Sinnott)

#NCBD (partial)

I definitely have some "blind spots" as a CB collector. Some make sense like me sometimes overpaying on my quest to collect ASMs. And some make less sense. I LOVE glow in the dark covers. I know it's a total gimmick & adds nothing to a book's value. But I can't help it. Don't judge me, man. 😂

No, not my SNL girlfriend too! Heidi G is leaving.....

Yesterday's #NCBD pick-up (part of it anyway 🙂)

First, Devon Walker. Now Michael Longfellow. Both surprises (to me anyway). Lorne really souring on a lot of his recent hires. If he comes for Marcello, I may riot.

Should've read this sooner. It was very solid and seems like it will have a tighter narrative focus than Battle of Jakku (which I still enjoyed). Nice work by writer @alexsegura.bsky.social & artist @philnoto.bsky.social Now need to go through my TBRs to make sure I bought the following issues.

But I will admit that playing a ballady cover of The Cure in the background of that Staylor scene was the most subtle and clever #TSITP has ever been or will ever be.

Laurel is such a weirdo. Yeah the kids are all a total mess but they're young and have years to figure it out. Laurel has no such excuse. #TSITP

Apparently Travis Kelce spent 5M on Taylor Swift's engagement ring, putting a new spin on putting off retirement to get one more ring.

I don't know...SNL really didn't give Devon Walker much of a chance. I thought he had potential but they tried to make him another Pete Davidson when that's not who is.

Going with one of my all-time favorite She-Hulk covers by the incomparable Jen Bartel! #SheHulkSunday

Snagged this from my LCS this week. Released July 15, 1969. Cover by Romita Sr. of course. Magic number down to 54! 👍

Is the search function on BlueSky at all useful? I try to use it to locate old posts of mine but the searches always come up empty. Any tips from those who have had more success?

Random BlueSky observation: Public figures (celebs, politicians, etc.) routinely gets thousands of likes on every post. Everyone else gets 4. Seems to be zero middle ground here.

A long and winding Rainbow Bridge solved! One of the toughest ones yet.

Norrin Radd meets Galactus for the first time! And his life will never be the same! #SilverSurfer (art by John Buscema and Joe Sinnott)

This unique cover for MTU #128 (released January 18, 1983) was created by Eliot R. Brown, who also added six pages of text and images explaining the process for its creation. #SpiderMan

It's #SheHulkSunday time! (released April 21, 1981; art by Herb Trimpe)

This is who runs this account.

I know this sounds terrible but I'm reading the previews for all these Age of Revelation X-books and man I do not want to take on any of that. Plus come on, X-Men titles can have every other adjective in the dictionary but only ONE guy should get to be Amazing and we all know who that is.

Seeing these type of headlines gives me a sliver of hope for the world. #SpiderMan #comicsky

Happy #Thorsday! I know this issue looks extremely rough but it was often read and well loved!

Please God never let us watch Belly eat a peach again. #TSITP

Four years since my mom passed. Jane Pak loved public libraries and public radio and public schools and museums and clear writing and careful editing and voting and good journalism. "Be like Jane Pak" is a pretty good mantra for #2025. gregpak.com/jane-pak-bel...

40 YEARS AGO THIS MONTH! August 1985 TOP TEN Marvel Titles: (direct market rankings courtesy of Marvel Age magazine) It took X-Men's 200th anniversary issue to finally knock the Beyonder from the top spot! Plus the very first issue of Marvel Universe cracks the top 5. #comics #comicsky

So the FF box office numbers are not as apocalyptic as the doomsayers (no pun intended) have been saying. Only 2M short of its projection after 10 days. A second weekend drop-off similar to Supe's. The #1 movie for the second consecutive week. Some folks need to not rush to judgment & breathe.

First #SheHulkSunday of August! 💚

So if you liked #FantasticFourFirstSteps, it's okay to still think it's a great movie even if its second weekend box office was disappointing. Plus streaming is absolutely eroding repeat customers at the cineplex, which the movies shouldn't be blamed for.

A few days late but you haven't missed much: 40 years ago this month! The Marvel Age calendar for August 1985! (running a day behind 2025 per usual) #comicsky #comics
