Genderqueer parent and community college STEP coach. I also wrote Forgotten All-Star: A Biography of Gardner Fox! My next big project is a biography for Jerry Bails, who is often referred to as the father of comic book fandom.

Now that both movies have been out on streaming for a couple weeks, I thought I would add my two cents to the discussion around Superman and The Fantastic Four: First Steps. I liked First Steps far more than this makes it sound! 😅

There were probably better films this year, but none we needed more, I think.

TOP 10 COMIC BOOKS
# 2
HAWKMAN 4
This is the 1964 first appearance of Zatanna
$516(F) ⬆️ $59
🔥🔥🔥🔥
FACT: James Gunn makes a casual Zatanna-positive remark and there's a buying spree of early appearances. Still, not a lot of available copies at any given time of Hawkman 4.

This month's "Books With Pals" is on Absolute Wonder Woman and I am so glad I finally gave it a try. I wasn't interested in the premise because I didn't want a hard-core, sword-wielding Wonder Woman, but that was a misjudgment. Y'all were right to give it so much praise.

I am sure they were going for Skeleton Captain America fighting skeleton Black Panther, but it looks a lot more like Cap is giving Black Panther a lap dance to me. 😂 🤷

These are good things to include regardless! Not every kid is super into candy, but they still want to go trick-or-treating. My oldest was always more excited about scoring snacks, like a box of raisins or a bag of nuts. And last year, putting potatoes in the bucket was a lot of fun! 🥔

Always a fascinating subject! I still prefer the analog approach because it allows me to track/follow my train of thought more effectively.
