Feel like Jack would go for an Orson Welles deep cut like Mr. Arkadin/Confidential Report.

Reading Superman comics tonight, because I believe truth, justice, and hope for a better tomorrow will prevail.
Then gonna watch V for Vendetta, because sometimes the road there is rocky and we may need to remember this day.

#ThowbackThursday 35 years ago this month. Batman 436, cover by George Perez. Batmania (1989 strain) was in full swing, and this arc was pretty darn awesome. #DCComics #comics

#TrueBelieverTuesday Incredible Hulk 423, cover by Gary Frank and Cam Smith. Peter David managed a truly epic run on the book by taking it in so many directions over that time. I'm kind of fond of the Pantheon era. #Marvel #comics

#DynamicDC Mr. District Attorney 44, cover by Curt Swan. I love how diverse the genre line-up used to be at big publishers. That's now mostly been ceded to the big indys and small press. #DCComics #comics

#ThowbackThursday 35 years ago this month. Hellblazer 20, cover by Dave McKean. Someday I may get around to reading the rest of this series, but for me the original run (1- 40) by Jamie Delano is a classic that is hard to live up to. Early work by Mark Buckingham on this one, too. #DCComics #comics

#ReadingPile Invincible Iron Man 8, cover by Kael Ngu. Haven't followed the character in some time, but this series has been fun + explains just enough of what's happening in other books to be easy to follow without reading every other story. #Marvel #comics

#TrueBelieverTuesday Warlock 12, cover by Jim Starlin. Starlin pretty much defined Marvel's cosmic heroes in the 70s. Don't think latter-day attempts even come close, even his own. @Marvel

#DynamicDC Action Comics 202, cover by Wayne Boring. I hate the basic idea, but you have to credit Silver Age writers with endless creative ways of Lois trying to prove Clark is Superman and failing. #DCComics #comics

#ReadingPile Flash 134, cover by Steve Lightle. Maybe not the greatest era of this book (even Morrison can misfire), but great cover and great issue. Maybe he really needed to be writing a Jay Garrick book. #DCComics #commics
