The saddest part of clickbait comics """"""journalism""""""" is when they just play it safe and replay the same old greatest hits.
Like yeah, we all KNOW House of M and Civil War II are awful. That's not going to shock anyone in 2025.

Among the many literary references in Watchmen we also get a line from this song as one of the chapter titles.
I never had any idea what it referenced when I first read Watchmen back in the day as I had never heard the song at that point.

Your strategy was very clever, sacrificing your own award-winning line of comics. However I play REBORN THE ULTIMATE IMPACT, returning the Ultimate Universe to play under MY control.

R.I.P. Sal Buscema. Decade in & out, he was a storyteller of such remarkable quality that I’ve yet to hear anything but the fullest measure of praise for his work from his collaborators. Me, I discovered his work in 1970’s Avengers #72. I absolutely fell in love with it. It helped make a fan of me.

Your scenario: you just hit the beach to get your tan on and show off your chiseled abs.
You see a 10/10 baddie strutting around like she owns the place in the Official Image Comics Founders one-piece swimsuit.

I love Dani, but her being a valkyrie is like that one friend who went to Aruba one time and tried parasailing and now they're going to tell you about it at every social gathering ever even though everyone has heard all the stories a thousand times already.

Fantasy author and RPG writer Jean Rabe has passed away. She was known for her work at TSR and the RPGA, but she also worked on WEG’s Star Wars d6 RPG. In Galaxy Guide 12, Rabe wrote up several alien species including cover model Ephant Mon’s Chevin (with other aliens by @infinata.bsky.social).

Reading through Psylocke Ninja #1 today I was impressed by the continuity juggling act with references to at least three separate storylines. Betsy's characterization was excellent.
I was also delighted to see the Snakeroot and the Chaste involved thus tying this to @dgchichester.bsky.social 's DD!

I did find it curious that Wanda was on the X-Men United #1 preview cover, and in one of her old costumes that she hasn't worn for years as well, now that she's supposed to be Sorceress Supreme and all.
Turns out it was just Lorna.
Poor Lorna mistaken for her more famous sister AGAIN.

Comic-Con allowing AI "art" into their art show is a disgrace.
Comic-con deciding to allow GenAi imagery in the art show —giving valuable space to GenAi users to show slop right NEXT to actual artists who worked their asses off to be there— is a disgrace!
