Found out I’ll be traveling more this year than previous. Just a bit farther, crossing these state lines more frequently; TN, KY, GA, NC, SC, VA, WV
Looking forward to visiting a lot of new comic shops. And hoping I’ve got mutuals who can recommend the best places to stop at when the time comes!

Marvel Studios skipped the Super Bowl but Marvel didn’t. The NFL dropped an inspiring ad with Marvel action figures (Spider-Man, Black Panther, Venom, Hulk & the Thing) reminding us that belief is a superpower and thanking coaches.

“I’ll miss you too, Rich.”
The 💞 moment Nova & Nita fans had been waiting three years for finally happened! About to step away from the team, Namorita dropped in to see Rich privately where the two gave way to their emotions, resulting in a passionate kiss goodbye.

Finished Dracula and it was excellent. Beautifully florid artwork by Esteban Maroto. Would love to see this black and white art in an oversized hardcover someday. For now though, I think I might try to track down the individual three issues from Topps to see how good a colored version looked.

Evan responded to my prompt asking about the Richard Rider Spaceknight concept I had learned about years before. It was all going to be tied into a big cosmic storyline involving Kymellians, Xandarians, and Skrulls!
I’m glad Rich stayed Nova but sad we never got to read that.

“He better be all right!”
“Good to see you too, big boy.”
“Not lookin’ so bad yourself, muscles.”
“Sorry to hear that.”
February is not long enough to share all of Rich and Nita‘s flirting, so here are four of my favorite 💞 exchanges between them from their early days.

“You, though, I could become good friends with.” 💞
Nova and Namorita first met in New Warriors #1. There was an immediate attraction… on Richard‘s part. As a bonus, we got a classic Rich “Blue Blazes!” exclamation paired with her “Suffering Shad!” at this meet cute.

My son passed his driving test!
Watch out Carolina road hogs - there’s a new soul on the road and he drives very safely!
I’m really proud of him… I was a much more aggressive driver at his age. And in my 20s. My 30s. And most of my 40s. 😑

“$#%& off and die, Burley!”
Not quite done with Ginger for our February 💞 theme. She got a darker makeover (not just her hair!) when Nova reimagines his origin while comatose fighting a techno-organic virus. She’s still looking out for our boy Richard Rider though!

That first love never rekindled between Rich and Ginger. In spite of some later drama, they got to share this special moment flying together. And that’s how I choose to remember them.

Big shout out to @jedmackay.bsky.social regarding Nova: Centurion #4 released today!
I counted myself laughing out loud four separate times, smiling at least double that, and gratified someone else remembers Firelord is a Xandarian survivor. The only surviving Xandarian really.

Vicentini’s is the bomb. Can I get a full size poster please? Heck I’d be happy with a one sheet promo minus the trade dress!
