Today is the holy day of Jack Kirby obligation. It is always a good time to read some Kirby material. My particular fondness is for the Fourth World material because it felt epic and intimate.

Thanks for the column. I loved that Vigilante annual very much when I was younger and am glad that I had you sign the book back in 1997.

Sitting outside hoping that the sciatica doesn’t flare up today. Had a flare up on Monday night through Tuesday that was pure hades.

Thinking if I wanted to do the third day of C2E2 or hanging at home. Lots of comics were defaced including these.

I am amused by the idea of Marvel/DC crossover being a thing in 2025. If I had to fan cast characters to meet up, it would be these 2.
