Sometimes a comic book relaunch describes a world with the bad guys in charge, using language and imagery that almost identically describes the actual state of the world. (G.I. Joe 156, 2010)

It occurs to me that Elric of Melniboné was killing people with a sword and receiving the Quickening long before Connor or Duncan ever put on a kilt.

Okay so this is weird and amazing. Interview with the Vampire and The Sandman. Two story properties that I am ONLY into cuz my brother Jim (died 2016) was into them. So they occupy very neighborly spaces in my head.

@saracentury.bsky.social you’ve been in my eareos from some Graymalkin Lane appearances back in ‘22 I think.

Okay, you know what? No. F**k you, you 1988 comic book.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds might be my new all-time favorite iteration of the franchise. New season starts tomorrow, so we are finishing S2 today. And there is just so much good that they’ve done with these characters, some I’ve known my whole life but who have now grown in such unexpected ways.

If the idea of the Superman movie being political bothers you, If you’ve ever uttered the word “woke” or “DEI” with the slightest hint of derision, If you voted for FOTUS, Then guess what.

Just gonna be peppering this into bigots’ Superman complaints. Feel free to do the same.

What a headline.

The “feels like” factor is strong with the Superman film. It feels like Superman and it feels like a Superman story.

From The Flash 218. Certain people have always hated immigrants and always will. And the very idea that the Superman film might call out that attitude in a bad way infuriates some people cuz they hate seeing that mirror on their bigotry.

I got interviewed recently for @popversesays.bsky.social regarding the #SupermanReadthrough, and it’s online now! Which is great timing with the movie! www.thepopverse.com/comics-dc-su...

Episode 200- A Destructive Encounter. The Silver Surfer meets Drax the Destroyer...let the party begin! tinyurl.com/5n8fk6hr

My good friend @jonreadscomics.bsky.social joins me for the first of 2 episodes talking about the Zack Snyder #Superman. We start with Man of Steel. It All Comes Back to Superman Series 2 is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible, & iHeart Radio! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

Was interviewed by @popversesays.bsky.social today about the #SupermanReadthrough, which was very cool. The project has been a part of my life for over a decade and a half, and it was very fun to take a trip down memory lane about the highs and lows of the experience. So that's coming soon.

For some, “would you love me if I were a worm?” is not a game. It’s a reality. Be careful around Lords of Chaos during this holiday season.

I'm so glad to know this exists. I'm going to remind people of it every time I hear them refer to him as George PeREZ.

The new #Superman  trailer dropped last week & there is a little known federal law that states if you are Superman content creator you have to release an episode where you talk about it. I even got @jonreadscomics.bsky.social to join me. Enjoy! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Imagine a world where Green Lantern would get cancelled. I’ve been doing a readthrough of Green Lantern, Flash, and a couple other DC titles. I’ve known this was coming but didn’t look up the issue number. So iss 89 caught by some surprise. Guess we’ll see how GL reads as a Flash backup for a while.

Promos this episode are for @capeslunatics.bsky.social, Ninjas ‘n’ Bots and The Spider-Diaries. Both from @jonreadscomics.bsky.social

Episode 199- Silver Surfer: Rebirth tinyurl.com/3c4trt7d Since we already covered Warlock: Rebirth & Silver Surfer: Rebirth Legacy minis, I figured it was time to cover the first mini in this trilogy & tricked @jonreadscomics.bsky.social to help! The Silver Surfer! Thanos! Tyrant! Stuff...happens

The next time Trekkies and Whovians argue, will the Flaming Carrot save us?

Gonna start this series tonight for the #SupermanReadthrough. I’ve never read it before.

From Kingdom Come 2. Not sure but I think we’re not supposed to like this guy. But somehow he sounds really familiar.

Peter’s relationship struggles and frustrations take center stage this week on The Spider Diaries as Betty becomes very jealous of Liz‘s affections toward Peter. And Aunt May has the least helpful request ever. Oh yeah, and Kraven wants to kill #Spider-Man. #podcast

There's an AI-created Youngblood "trailer". It has pretty cool visuals, which is probably to be expected. But somehow it also seems to make ALL THE SENSE that a "trailer" for Youngblood would be all flash and no substance and for a "movie" that isn't actually going to ever exist.

Hot Rod as The Superman from Action Comics 1

Bruh. Just search #SupermanReadthrough to get a tiny slice of the 60-plus years of Superman comic books I have read. And not that it has to be a contest, but I bet dollars it's more than you.

WHAT?? He knows???!!! (From DC 417)

Most of our nation’s leaders used to moonlight as comic book villains.

This is not a comic book. This is a scene from our new everyday reality with a thin coat of paint on top.

Lol Blue Beetle learned web fluid from Spider-Man during DC Versus Marvel!

New episode of The Spider Diaries dropped yesterday! In episode 14, Peter’s life finds new highs and new lows. How long can you soar in the clouds from your first kiss, when you’ve been unmasked by Dr. Octopus?? #podcast #Spider-Man

New episode of The Spider Diaries! In episode 13, #Spider-Man has a lot going on! He tries to help the Torch out, Dr. Octopus is getting out of prison, and Peter finds Betty Brant! Should he tell her he’s Spider-Man? #podcast

No, not all. But probably most.

I got to talk about Casey Jones and Ninja Turtles in violent live action!

Episode 11 of The Spider Diaries is out today! #Spider-Man decides to crash the Human Torch's party. But then tragedy strikes with Peter's Aunt May. He's already lost his uncle. Will he lose her too? And why is the Daily Bugle accusing Spider-Man of also being some guy called Electro? Come listen!

I gots one of those. It’s pretty great.

Wheel of Time S3!!

A new episode of The Spider Diaries is out today! The Vulture is out of jail! Robots in the school! And Peter makes an actual audible connection with Betty! Come give a listen!! Subscribe to The Spider Diaries or to Jon Reads Comics in your #podcast app! #Spider-Man

Um. Wow. Okay. So many things I guess we could say. But I’m just gonna leave it here.

Um, boundaries, Clark? (From Action 721)

#2025Reads Comics 198-201: #SupermanReadthrough Superman 111, Showcase ‘96 4, Adventures of Superman 534, and DC versus Marvel 4 (1996)

No, Spider-Man, it’s “whomever”. Even though that word gets misused A LOT, it’s actually correct here.

Just recorded episode 14 of The Spider Diaries. Can you say "first kiss"?

New episode of The Spider Diaries! The Bugle challenges #Spider-Man to go fight the Lizard in Florida. What lizard? Is this a hoax? Peter Parker has to find out, and guess who tags along for the ride! Subscribe to the #podcast by searching The Spider Diaries or Jon Reads Comics!

One of my favorite moments from Ultimate #Spider-Man so far

#2025Reads Comic 197: JLX (1996) Of the four Amalgams I read, this was the only struggle to finish. Didn’t feel much at all like a League book and more like the less amazing aspects of 90s X-books. Super Soldier has a minor appearance, so I guess this is #SupermanReadthrough on a technicality.
