Yes 100000000%

Consider this an immediate coming soon to Does This Come in Chromium!
Might have to add this to the growing list of books to talk about with @mattbegins.bsky.social

You’ve probably seen this @mattbegins.bsky.social back when DC did their In Memoriam for Keith Giffen

“Jungle berries” sounds like how Tarzan would describe Chickenpox.
Cap’n Crunch with Jungle Berries (1999-1999): Standard Crunch Berries cereal, but with the addition of green pieces, aka "jungle berries." Released to promote Disney's "Tarzan".

Chatting Dan Jurgens Superman with @mattbegins.bsky.social was the perfect way to kick off 2026.

A missed opportunity for Jean to tell Scott she's "someone to hear your prayers/someone who's there" and "things on your chest/you need to confess/I will deliver/you know I'm a forgiver"
Scott Summers changed the lyrics to “Enjoy the Silence” just enough to try to pass them off as his own words.

While I cannot translate it, this PSA was essentially telling kids, “Use bats to hit balls, not cave in skulls.”

Reposting because this is a wonderful cultural exchange worth your time.

Did you know that at one point in the 90s the Polish government had an advertising campaign featuring gangsters with bloody baseball bats reminding kids that they can be used to play games too?

Neither did I!

A living, breathing thing was burst out of balls?

I mean, I guess that’s technically partially true…
Alarming Tales no. 2 (Nov 1957). The GCD credits Joe Simon with this cover, which I’m a little dubious about. It has also been credited to Mort Meskin with George Roussos. Not sure about that either. Regardless, it’s a cool cover, with some nice, subtle grey shading. Interiors are mainly by Kirby.

Now I need to know if this Heckler cameo was in @alexsegura.com’s script or if it was @ciantormey.bsky.social’s choice?

Either way it rules!
Updated Heckler’s Wikipedia page again. I remembered he makes a blink and you’ll miss it cameo in The Question All Along the Watchtower #4. I also need to add that book to my collection.

A truly fun and fascinating conversation.

Learn what the Polish company which bought the rights to American comics considered the holy trinity of Marvel's 90s comic lines.

That’s right, @comicfoil.bsky.social and I got together to talk about 1994’s NOVA #1.

Nova may have no prospects - no future - but we sure had a lot of fun talking about him!
