Well Nintendo, with Donkey Kong Bananza, you've returned DK to the prominence he deserves to be at, and you've cemented Pauline as one of your most important characters.

But aren't you forgetting someone?

So I tried seeing which character the Superman movie playlist on Spotify would match me with and....

Look, I'm not endorsing the man in any way, but he DOES have good taste in music.

Probably one of my favorite characters.

And finally we have Kamen Rider Crazy, based off of Axel and his taxi from Crazy Taxi. I asked Hyourinmaru to mostly use the taxi design with the tailfins acting as shoulderpads and to give him Axel's spiky hair and I am so impressed with the final result!

His shoulderpads extend slightly past his shoulders and end with a tailfin design, evoking Axel's taxicab. His helmet-mask combo is designed to look like he has spiky green hair.

Next is Kamen Rider Musashi (Shinobi was taken, and I'm not calling him Kamen Rider Joe) based off of Joe Musashi from Shinobi. Particularly his incarnation from the upcoming Shinobi: Art of Vengeance. I'm a big fan of how Hyourinmaru incorporated that design while keeping it fresh.

First is Kamen Rider Gilius, based off of Gilius Thunderhead from Golden Axe, the franchise revival I'm most excited for. Out of the three, this is my favorite, and I'm blown away by the work Hyourinmaru did on it. Especially the beard in the Ex-Aid anime-hair style!

A trio of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid OC's based off of some of the upcoming Sega revivals I'm most excited about. Drawn for me by @hyrnmr666.bsky.social who did an amazing job!

This promo art of Raichu is hands-down the best card to score a victory with in Pokémon TCG Pocket. Look at this smug mf.
The victory screen of Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket which features the promotional art variant of Raichu. This variant shows Raichu with its hands on its hips with a smug look on its face. The word Victory is prominently displayed above the card, enhancing the smugness.

Is it bad that the first thing I thought when I saw this dude in Skeleton Crew was that I hope LEGO makes a set of his helmet?

Anyway, Absolute Wonder Woman is incredible, and if you're not reading it, you should probably consider starting.
Diana from Absolute Wonder Woman issue 2 is calmly dressing down a military commander (who is off panel). She tells him that she will do everything she can to help him fight an oncoming army of monsters and help save innocent lives. But she also warns him that she will not tolerate any effort to turn her into part of the "military-industrial complex."

I didn't think Hornsby & Halo would be my thing after the Ghost Machine preview issue, but I gave issue 1 a shot, and boy am I glad I did! It was absolutely fantastic and reminded me of the stories I dreamed up as a kid. Don't sleep on this one!
Zachary Halo from the comic Hornsby & Halo stands perched atop an angel statue on a stormy night as lightning flashes behind him. He is holding a sword he took from the statue (with the statue's hand still attached) and saying "...From An Avenging Angel!"
