More comic reading: the "Future Quest" miniseries, a storyline from the mid-2010s about a crossover between the action/adventure/superhero Hanna-Barbera characters. I thought it was enjoyable, though not sure what Jonny Quest/Space Ghost fans made (since those are the two biggest HB action shows).

Comic reading lately: the "MultiVersus" tie-in comic.

Like the game, the comic's a weird mix of kid-friendly stuff (Bugs Bunny, Steven Universe) and the teen/adult audience DC normally caters to: the story's set exclusively in the DCU, Joker's his usual "self" (as Shaggy finds out), etc.
