Star Trek IV still has the best justification for messing with the timeline

Probably the best way to get around the Observer Effect that can limit certain options in time travel stories.

So that they can check on the whales and make sure they're in good health during the trip back to the future?

RED COLLAR WORKER, by Rob Malone & Miguel Silva, letters by Micah Myers. After he forgets his blood bag snack on the bus, a vampire has to get through his shift without giving into his thirst. It's one of the stories available in this issue of The CloakRoom!

Link where it always is!

Remember when the Joker became an Iranian Ambassador in Death of the Family so he could gain diplomatic immunity after killing Jason Todd?

Well, here's #markhamill 's version of that moment- from 1996's Legend of Robin audio drama!

Cooking up something eerie with Miguel Silva- looking forward to sharing the sanguine details later this weekend!

Watched Fantastic Four: First Steps yesterday with my nephew- but I didn't wanna break my thoughts on it into Bluesky-sized chunks- so I wrote a whole Substack review on it!

Paranoia?
FASA Star Trek?
West End's Men in Black?
Bram Stoker's Dracula?
White Wolf's Street Fighter?

I feel like such a nerd for admitting this, but I've been using the Tennant floor scrubber at the warehouse so often that I've put together a playlist for it.

And guess which three songs are first on the list? That's right- Terran 1, 2, and 3 from Starcraft.

Just for the record, this is actually a really good, if pretty loose adaptation of the first New Avengers arc by Brian Michael Bendis.

It's just that this amazingly dense line stood out to me so much that I spent a good chunk of my lunch break replaying the scene so I could try and understand it.

"I don't know, randomly permute the variables using an adaptive genetic factor. Try gray-coding the thing to prevent premature convergence. Implement Strassen's Algorithm for matrix multiplication while using a linear timefind max subarray crossing procedure."

Worst technobabble ever. #newavengers

"Bob infused his dual identity character with his own attributes: goodness, kindness, generosity, intelligence, integrity, courage, purity of spirit, a love of all mankind."

Apparently humility wasn't among those traits.

But which version? I remember buying this at a secondhand media store to show my friends, only to realize it was the censored version.

Ever try Freedom Force? It's available for a pittance on GoG, and still holds up as a tactical superhero squad RPG.

By B/W coloring, I mean that Force Works has pencils/inks, whereas Doom's IV was fully colored by Extreme Studios, but I had to tint them grayscale for the printer.
June 29, 2025 at 4:25 AM
I do find it kind of hilarious how Linkara described a sad image of someone make copies of Doom's IV during his review, and then in a weird way, I became that person.

The Force Works ashcan has B/W coloring, but the Doom's IV book has a lot more behind the scenes material and fully colored heroes.

Made a pair of custom ashcans of 90s books so I could have a physical reference for my own preview books: specifically Force Works and Doom's IV #1/2.

I know ashcans are sometimes old hat, but I feel it really goes help me develop my craft and short story skills- like Kyle Higgins suggested.

Who in their right minds at Marvel thought that Spider-Man One More Day needed a hardcover treasury edition? In the 2020s, no less?!

I felt the same way when I blew our cover by accident in a Days of Future Past campaign.

Hearing the GM describe how the roof opened up and the innocent refugees we were getting to know got flash fried into skeletons still shakes me to my very core when I think about it.

I think I'm more excited for a new #Spaceballs movie than I ever was for Star Wars. #TheSearchForMoreMoney

Sounds like something that would happen in a Twisted Metal game.

What’s the cover art that got you started in the TTRPG hobby? Here’s mine:
