Per the logic of THE SANTA CLAUSE, where Santa's killer takes on the role, we probably have a gun-toting "Stand Your Ground" Santa delivering presents

Ooooo very cool project. I challenge myself to read one comic a day and am very very close to getting that done for the first time in a few years and will do it again next year. I love challenges like this!

Diamond to be liquidated and a huge Archie announcement headline my collection of comics news links this week

Thinking about this a little more, it looks like @davidharper.bsky.social's micro-line thesis is going strong

Huge news for me specifically

Thanks to the learning I received from my college roommate / percussionist Daniel, I know a little bit about musical phasing and Steve Reich. That's the framework I use to analyze THE WICKED + THE DIVINE # 27 from @kierongillen.bsky.social & @mckelvie.bsky.social

Breaking news from @graphicpolicy.com: Diamond files to move from Chapter 11 bankruptcy to Chapter 7. I'm no expert, but while a Chapter 11 bankruptcy is more of a restructuring, Chapter 7 is a liquidation. Diamond may be truly dead and gone if this goes through.

Breaking news from @pranadms.bsky.social: DC has topped Marvel in market share for the first time since the New 52. I write about what that means and more in my newsletter.

I wouldn't want to work with the Cinnabon lady either, but I do think we as a society have to figure out what to do with people Like That. Are they just never supposed to have a job again? Do we create some sort of rehabilitative labor program? (whoops, I just reinvented the gulag)

[email protected] on Tuesday's Jeopardy, one correct response implied Stan Lee created Spider-Man. This is only true if you believe Lee's account, which is full of holes and he was a notorious liar. The initial idea was from Jack Kirby, and the actual character and story was from Steve Ditko

The Christmas Season has arrived, based off of the new comic books on sale this week. If you ever wanted some cool Santa Facts, have I got the pick for you.
