With no power comes no responsibility.
The floating heads are a classic. I love them from time to time but it’s wild to do them on a first issue with just generic heads.

I don’t even want to go down a rabbit hole of bad Liefeld Cap art (the infamous one is enough).

My other favorite parts are the floating heads of Stryfe, Enchantress, Muttonchops Guy from Youngblood, Forearm from the MLF, Other Enchantress, and Booster Gold behind the UPC.

After I get a couple beers in me, the Sabres jersey will come out, I’ll flip the game on, and sit on the couch with my self-respect.

That’s my fear.

I’m so tired of Dem leadership being unwilling to fight their friends across the aisle.

I *really* wish I could’ve found a place for Amanda Sefton in one of my lineups. She’s great.

TY!

8-Ball is a real Z-lister who Jed MacKay is rehabilitating in his very excellent Moon Knight run.

Woof. Good luck.

Zodok is *exactly* the kind of comic book nonsense I love. Good job, sir.

I had to go into the vault and take a picture of Spore from WOLVERINE 21 because they’re not on the people’s internet and yet Spore is GD terrifying.

Day 11: Masters of Evil

Part 3: the muscle.

Abomination. The Cobalt Monger. Absorbing Man. Blacklash. Titania. The Wrecking Duo, Pile Driver & Bulldozer.

Heavy-hitting foot soldiers.

Day 11: Masters of Evil

Part 2: the monsters.

Venom (spoilers in alt text). Scramble. Dr. Demonicus. Purple Man. Nerium. Spore, the cocaine that walks like a man! And a Dire Wraith, left behind when her sisters fled earth.

Atrocity committers.

(Cont’d)

Ah… fair.
November 11, 2025 at 5:52 AM
That sounds unlikely.
November 11, 2025 at 5:51 AM
Agreed but also…

I hope you dropped them off 8 blocks from their destination.

Considering there’s three of those things around here, was it the matte black one, the one that is suspiciously parked in front of a “mattress store” on Fillmore Ave. all the time, or the one that races up the 33 constantly?

I’m going to say yes but that might be slander.

My ex-gf tells a story about her dad beating Barnaby at pool in a dive in Amherst in the 90s and Barnaby lost his mind and broke every cue in the place.

I loved the rat when I was 15 but hockey CTE is a thing.

Belly at the Fox in Boulder, CO in ‘93 was amazing. And again in State College, PA in ‘95 (still have a stick from that show) but the best was Tanya Donnelly solo on the Buffalo waterfront in like ‘o2 when I was the only person there who knew who she was. Like 12 people in attendance.
