Dick Giordano foreshadowed the British invasion in his “Meanwhile…” newsletter published on “Atari Force” #10.

Full foreshadowing in the alt text.

Atari Force #10 by Gerry Conway, José Luis García-López, Eduardo Barreto, Bob Lappan, Tom Ziuko and Andy Heller.
Comic book page with a column of text under the heading “Meanwhile…” in bold yellow and red letters against a dotted background. The DC Comics logo appears several times in the text column. On the right side, there is a full-colour illustration from “The Saga of the Swamp Thing” showing a monstrous green figure with a human-like form, extending an arm while standing over a person lying on the ground. A caption below reads: “You can stand alone in the blind darkness and know that were you to raise your arm, reaching out to its fullest extremity, your fingertips would brush with something wet, something supple and resilient.” Foreshadowing: “When I was first given my current responsibilities at DC, one of my first acts was to announce a talent search. I knew we, the industry, could not get through the Eighties with only the talent pool available then, and the only way to draw new talent was to go out and look for it. The program has worked (as an example, 3 current members of the creative teams on both versions of LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES are graduates of the program). And we anticipate even better results in the future. The page count on NEW TALENT SHOWCASE has been expanded. Four seminars for selected people in the USA and Canada will be organized and conducted this summer by Talent Coordinator Sal Amendola. Ongoing workshops are held weekly at our offices, conducted by Sal, Paul Levitz, and, occasionally, yours truly. We look for existing talent outside the country. SWAMP THING writer, Alan Moore, current GL artist, Dave Gibbons, and of course CAMELOT’s own Brian Bolland are or were regular contributors to British comics. We’ve been working with Kevin O’Neil, also from England, and details are in the works for at least limited contributions from other British creative people. We’ve also gone to other fields in search of new talent and we are currently discussing potential projects with illustrators, novelists, and Science Fiction writers.”

Now this, this is a Batmobile!

“Batman: Dark Pattern #9" by Dan Watters, Hayden Sherman, Tríona Farrell and Frank Cvetkovic.
Drawing of a noir-style city street at night, with tall art deco buildings lit in yellow and green tones. A sleek black car (the Batmobile) with glowing headlights drives past pedestrians towards us. At the bottom, we see the same vehicle speeding through a wooded area towards the right margin of the page, so we see the back of the car. “Batman: Dark Pattern #9" by Dan Watters, Hayden Sherman, Tríona Farrell and Frank Cvetkovic.

Sorry for doxing you! But something tells me they don’t care, as long as it comes with pets and treats, eh?

A surreal, edited image of the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, modified to appear futuristic and ominous, standing on a circular patch of green land surrounded by a cityscape and clouds. A rainbow is visible in the sky. Bold text at the top reads “BAD ENDING,” and at the bottom, “THE WHOLE WORLD IS NOW BRAZIL,” mimicking the style of a video game ending screen.

ONCE I saw what Dan Mora did here, I couldn’t help but smile & wonder about the characters’ FUTURE.
Two comic panels from “Justice League Unlimited #5” by Mark Waid, Dan Mora, Tamra Bonvillain and Dave Sharpe. In the left panel, the Flash speeds through floating debris while carrying an older woman, Bridgette McGuire. He shouts orders about creating a protective bubble or dome and warns Impulse, who is seen flailing in the background. In the right panel, Wonder Woman carries Duncan McGuire through a collapsing cosmic environment, urging urgency and telling Impulse he’s in the way. Both Bridgette and Duncan McGuire are characters from BOOM! Studios’ “Once & Future,” co-created by Dan Mora and Kieron Gillen.

Trying to sleep on the plane vs. Sleeping on my bed after trying to sleep on the plane.

Billionaires shouldn’t exist, but I wished to have enough money to pay for business class.
First Image (May 14, 2025): A sleep graph shows a total of 3 hours and 13 minutes of sleep. The graph indicates fragmented sleep, mostly in the core sleep stage, with brief periods of REM and frequent wakefulness, especially between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m. No deep sleep is recorded. Second Image (May 15, 2025): A sleep graph showing a total of 10 hours and 26 minutes of sleep. The graph reflects a more consistent sleep pattern with cycles through deep, core and REM stages. Deep sleep is concentrated between 9 p.m. and midnight, followed by alternating REM and core sleep throughout the night. Brief periods of wakefulness occur around 9 p.m. and near 7 a.m.

Who here remembers Vertigo DEFY? It lasted a month, and no one ever mentioned it again. To this day, I don’t know what was the thinking behind it.

Mr. @kurtbusiek.bsky.social, do you remember why and how the editorial agreed on this gimmick? Thanks in advance!
Coffin Hill #12 cover: A comic panel, which is also the cover, from “Coffin Hill” issue 12. The top panel shows a woman in a witch-like setting, preparing a potion with glowing green smoke. The next panel is a close-up of her hand dipping a knife into a vial of red liquid. The middle of the image has the title “COFFIN HILL 12” with the letters breaking into flying birds. The bottom panel shows her mouth partially obscured and a bubbling cauldron with green smoke. A caption reads: “Lark’s aims, more than sword’s tongue and a few other bright words, gave assurance it wasn’t the wrong someone.” Astro City #16 cover A comic panel, which is also the cover, from “Astro City” #16. A glowing superhero streaks through the sky above a waterfront, leaving a fiery trail. Speech bubbles read, “Bip bip. Phone, now.” and “I’m here. You all right?” The title “astro city 16” appears over the scene. Below, two panels show the hero’s concerned expression as he listens. A caption says: “Just thinking. This is Rick’s idea of fun, and he had no idea, did he?” Another reads, “Rick says all the right things. He’s good at that. But tonight…”

@marceloguaxinim.bsky.social sobre o último GuaxaVerso e a questão da transcrição: o Apple Podcast tem uma transcrição automática. Não é perfeito, mas é melhor do que nada.
Captura de tela do Apple Podcasts mostrando a ferramenta de transcrição automática do app. O título é “Transcript” e há várias falas em português discutindo o conceito fictício do “GuaxaVerso”. As falas incluem frases como “O GuaxaVerso existe”, “Alguém me explica o que é o GuaxaVerso?” e “Três é fácil, a gente consegue.” O tom é confuso e bem-humorado, sugerindo um debate entre pessoas sobre a existência ou não do “GuaxaVerso”.

One of my favourite movies of all time:
A promotional image for the movie 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU features the main cast standing in a row against a white background. The title is displayed in bold black and pink text. Above the title, a pink banner reads “26 YEARS AGO.” A caption below the image reads: “In 1999, we got really into poetry and listed the 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU. Then, we realized we hated the way we didn’t hate you. Not even close. Not even a little bit. Not even at all.” The Timehop logo is at the bottom. A small cartoon dinosaur mascot wearing goggles is edited into the image, standing in front of the characters.

“The report found that record oil company profits came at the expense of Canadians, leading to a cascade of economic shocks that cost average households $12,000 over three years.”

Oil IS the main source of inflation! The greediness of the sector, more precisely.

A doughnut chart titled “Industry profit growth 2019 to 2022” shows the growth percentage in net income across various industries. The largest segment is oil and gas extraction, which saw a 996% increase in profit. Other industries include mining (485%), agriculture and forestry (287%), food and beverage retail (101%) and real estate (68%).

On the other hand, Trufa growls and is not at all afraid of Canadian Geese and even dogs ten times her size. It’s genuinely baffling to see the difference between them.

Bart was a labrador. Trufa is a dachshund. The difference between them is astonishing. Bart was once trapped in a corner by a rufous-bellied thrush — the Brazilian equivalent of an American Robin — and it was hard to say who was more afraid and petrified.

Yesterday, I finished reading THE BOOK OF ELSEWHERE by Keanu Reeves and China Miéville. I usually don’t mention books I’m reading/read here — maybe I should — but this is different. This time is different because this marks the 500th I read! It is a huge milestone…

A love called “frozen applesauce.”
A black and tan dachshund with a dappled coat is eating from a blue licking mat placed on a wooden floor. The dog is standing with its head lowered, licking the mat, which is against a light wood-paneled wall. A white bowl is positioned slightly behind the mat. The setting is indoors, with white doors visible in the background.

Batman taking care of his own mail? Ludicrous! Yet, that’s the kind of thing comics nowadays are missing. Give more ludicrous moments like that and less… whatever is happening currently.

THE UNTOLD LEGEND OF THE BATMAN #1 by Len Wein, John Byrne, Jim Aparo, Glynis Wein, and John Costanza.
Batman is sitting in the Batcave, holding a large yellow envelope or package while speaking. He has a slight smile on his face. His dialogue reads: “Glad I had a chance to answer my mail before I got buried under it! This package is the last--”. In the background, Alfred Pennyworth, wearing a suit, enters the room holding a tray with food. He asks, “Ready for your evening repast, sir?” The Batcave features stalactites hanging from the ceiling, and there is a desk with a computer in the background. The comic panel has bold, emphasized words and classic comic book colouring and shading.

Anyway, I'll be grateful if you can help me keep reaching people without spamming the timeline!

Remember a few days ago when I feared people thinking I was a bot/spammer? So, today, I checked my profile on clearsky.app, and that happened:
A screenshot of a social media interface showing that a user is a “Member of 4 lists.” One of the lists is titled “Spammers/Scammers,” created by the user “piranha4d.bsky.social” (display name: piranha4D). The description of the list states that it includes accounts related to “Crypto, Forex, porn, NFT, finance shills, impersonators, hashtag abusers, reply bots, and yes, political spammers—even if it's for a good cause, don't spam.” The list creator mentions that they “report these before blocking.”
