Okay. Hellcat thread. Leth’s run is phenomenal. It captures Patsy’s buoyancy but is sincere in what she’s trying to accomplish, how she views her life’s work. It’s completely legitimate. I think what Alex & I asked ourselves was: how do you reckon with all of it in one person?

“The Last Galactus Story” (1984) centers the perspective of the devourer & his faithful herald Nova. Writer/artist John Bryne uses a variety of visual techniques to represent the unrepresentable: inhuman beings interacting with the cosmic sublime. 1/12 #FantasticFour #Galactus

I love Superman and I love the Superman statue now proudly displayed in downtown Cleveland. I must say, though, I’m most proud of helping make this sculpture a reality as part of the Plaza. None of us would be doing of any of this without Jerry, Joe and Joanne. Welcome back home, friends! #Superman

Clevelander here, and it’s so nice to finally see this fucking city embrace being the birthplace of Superman. The excitement is palpable. But this would not have happened without @valentinolzullo.bsky.social and @jamesgunn.bsky.social who are on wildly different paths of Supes fandom

In their 2018 introduction to a special issue of the journal “American Literature,” Darieck Scott & Ramzi Fawaz argue “there’s something queer about comics.” This queerness permeates the form, history, culture & content of comics. #PrideMonth #ComicsStudies 1/12

It's all thanks to @valentinolzullo.bsky.social
