1988’s Eclipse Comics 10th Anniversary Poster, with art by Stan Woch, Mark Johnson & Tom Yeates.

There were a lot of good comics published by Eclipse in its day. I miss it.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?

It's the Pope in 1982.
Exactly what it says on the label: The Pope in 1982. He's wearing a black hat, dark RayBans, and looks like he's a member of the Blues Brothers.

Truly wild that Judd Apatow and Paul Feig were both involved with a single season Fox popcult sketch comedy show that ran in 1993...AND IT WAS NOT THE SAME SHOW.

Apatow worked on the Ben Stiller Show, and Feig worked on this...

None of us are truly worthy of the awesomeness that is this Marie Severin tour de force. But hey - it's my once-every-so-often "Ya gotta see this!" post.
A pyramid of the Marvel heroes, c. the very late Silver Age. The Hulk is the base, and all prominent heroes are featured. Captain Marvel is the new kid on the block (in his Kree uniform), and the X-Men are nowhere to be found!

Another highlight from last month’s Baltimore Comic Con… chatting with the talented @chrisgiarrusso.bsky.social! He drew this astonishing Blue Devil sketch for me, and I picked up some of his G-Man collections! Absolutely love his art style!!

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

While most people would immediately recognize Phil Jiminez’s variant cover for Amazing Spider-Man 583 (2009), perhaps fewer would have seen the standard cover, by none other than Jazzy Johnny Romita!

You're paying for my time, skills, effort, and professionalism. My heart and soul are not part of the bargain, and I can leverage the rest to stay employed while actively spiting your overreach.

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.

They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.

If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."

🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

I know that I've been unkind to the latter day (really, the entire 21st Century) art of Frank Miller, but I'm being deadly serious here-- is he depicting himself with a chicken head? I can see the rain, the trenchcoat, the collar, but no matter how long I look, I can't tell WTF is going on up top.

Tweet from Ryan Moulton @moultano: Oil is the most Lovecraftian thing that actually exists. You're telling me that there's a black ichor under the earth, made from the ancient dead, whose burning can realize all the dreams of man but only at the price of slowly returning the earth to its primordial state?
