I’ve been reading more DC lately so I was gonna keep my Martian Manhunter theme…
But then I starting thinking again about Trial of Magneto and how fucked up it was.
So now I’m getting back on my Toad soapbox. Defending my boy from bad writing is a thankless job but somebody has to do it.

Struggling with Bluesky a bit…
On the one hand, it is a fun non-hellscape version of twitter.
On the other hand, it’s still social media. And I think all social media is a disease.
Hopefully I can wean myself from it all one day…

This costume FUCKS. Like for real, this is a top fiver for me.
Can’t believe it was almost immediately ditched for that terrible “druid” costume. And then that was ditched for the EVEN WORSE crop top and sleeveless trench coat atrocity.

From the Ashes is going about as well as I expected. As in, generally not very good.
But at the very least we’re getting some top tier Romy content, drawn incredibly by David Marquez. #xspoilers

Name an artist you didn’t “get” as a kid, but have come to appreciate with experience.
Chris Bachalo
Thought his art was too ‘exaggerated’, ‘cartoony’ and didn’t ‘fit’ with the other X-books I was reading at the time.
Turns out I was wrong. One of the best X-Artists of the past 30 years.
