Looking forward to diving into these, starting with @stuartmoore.bsky.social's Doctor Strange: A Decade of Dark Magic.

Trump's going to need a bigger war than the one he's about to start in Venezuela to distract from the Epstein files.

Nightwing looks like he's trying out for Kiss on the cover of Tales of the Teen Titans #47.

Private Eye nails it again.

Every time someone’s like “put that in the louvre,” my head now goes “and then steal it from the louvre, the security password is louvre”

I have the perfect solution to the James Bond problem; NO MORE BOND! We've had every type of Bond from young, virile Bond to pensioner Bond, from morose, serious Bond to campy slapstick Bond. We never need another James Bond movie ever again! Problem solved I'm a genius put my cheque in the mail.

Do not want. Just leave Alan Moore stuff alone.

My wife after watching the first couple of episodes of Pluribus; "free will is overrated." 😐

"The AI industry’s most important product at this moment is not a chatbot or a video generator; it’s the story the AI industry is telling about itself.... According to an MIT study, 95% of businesses that have deployed generative AI have gotten no value from it." www.theringer.com/2025/11/04/t...

Doing some research for a blog post about Nova and having only ever read volume 1 of his comic, I thought I'd look up what happened to his supporting cast, like his high-school sweetheart, Ginger Jaye. And now I wish I hadn't... 🤦‍♂️

So Dick Grayson has to wait 40 years to get a new costume and identity, and then he has to share an introductory splash-page with Jericho, who we've known for *one issue*! 😏

What is it about decades-old comics that continues to resonate with people today? Our #Marvel Age of Comics authors weigh in: https://bit.ly/47PvhxL #ComicSky #MarvelComics #Daredevil #Avengers #DoctorStrange @paulcornell.bsky.social @stuartmoore.bsky.social @chrisryall.bsky.social#Marvel

Replacing Romeo Tanghal as inker on Teen Titans with Dick Giordano and Mike DeCarlo was a good decision - their inks have so much more life than Tanghal's - but whoever inked the background for this double-page spread sadly made all the hooded HIVE disciples look like purple googly eyes. 👀

This is very cool. The ingenuity and skill of the fan community can sometimes be incredibly inspiring. youtu.be/0QArAMtBGx8?...

A brief update on how YouTube has changed:

Watched Tenet again this afternoon. Still have no freaking clue what was going on at the end. 😵‍💫

It's nice to wake up to some good news from America for a change. Well done New York, New Jersey, California & Virginia.

A Hulk drawn live on our podcast a few years back

Today on "Stop Making Simple Costumes Unnecessarily Complicated"...

The high watermark of cinema.

If you're not following the Sandwich Guy trial, do yourself a favour and read the testimony from the "victim"...

I still think about this with every new bit I see from Predator: Badlands. Just a bunch of embarrassed, surly dudes over-compensating for their hair loss with new, fancy hunting gear. “Who cares if Amy left me for ..ugh Dan & his full head of tendrils? Check out my new laser-guided shoulder gun!”

I just got to New Teen Titans #39, and discovered that Terra is sleeping with Deathstroke. She's about the only Teen Titan who's drawn as a teenager rather than an adult, and Slade Wilson looks like he's in his 50s. And I thought Wonder Girl and her college professor fiancé were bad enough... 🤮

I'd totally play this.

There are few things more pleasing than learning about a comic you'd like to read, then discovering you already own it.

Someone needs to bring "Evil" back. That show was nuts in the best possible way.

George Tuska's visual shorthand for a bad-guy was to give them bad teeth. Didn't matter if they were a supervillain or a low-level hood, rotten teeth = rotten individual. It was so prevalent in his work that it became an enduring feature of one of the villains he designed, The Controller.

New awareness campaign

Final pencils for my latest piece, as the Hulk battles his arch nemesis, The Leader! The beam coming from the Murder Module will be getting some energy effects and Kirby Crackle when painted.

Happy Ditko Day! 98 years ago today, one of the most unique talents, a founding father of the Marvel Universe, and a curious, frustrating, fascinating human being was born.

3. Utter Horror!

A while ago, I wrote a thing about the Rutland Halloween Parade, which appeared in a bunch of comics from my youth: comicdeepdive.blogspot.com/2025/01/the-...

Okay guys, settle an argument for me, please; is there any difference in how you pronounce "golf" and "gulf"? I've always pronounced them exactly the same - wife says I'm wrong. 😏

On this Halloween, a reminder that a sculptor included a Xenomorph gargoyle during the 1990s restoration of Paisley Abbey

Man Wouldn't Have Worn Costume To Work If He'd Known He Was Getting Laid Off

A little art flashback; my homage to the rear cover of Marvel Treasury Edition 26, published way back in 1980.

Yeah, but they'll have no water to put them out because of all the AI data centres. 🤷‍♂️

I noticed that George Pérez was only providing layouts for Teen Titans, then he disappeared altogether for a couple of issues, replaced by Keith Pollard. So I wondered what else he was working on at the time, then this note appeared in the letter column. It was the aborted JLA/Avengers crossover! 🧵

Today on "Emma Thompson Is A National Treasure"... 😄

The only thing worse than seeing posts about American politics clogging up my timeline is seeing posts about sports. 😒
