Rabidly anglophiliac man (he/him) born in the wrong place (Spain) and living in the wrong time (post-DVDs/post-Brexit). About to stop procrastinating since 2007...
Unsolicited and unnecessary advice, I'm really sorry but I just can't stop myself: there's a sort of Hourman #0 story in the JLA in Crisis Secret Files & Origins. (I reread the whole series recently and it's still a lot of fun).

NINE COMIC BOOKS THAT SHAPED ME.
Just finished, and what a day for it! 💀⚰️⚱️, my second Skelfs/ @dougjohnstone.bsky.social book, and it definitely won't be my last in either category, so please keep publishing and reprinting them @orendabooks.bsky.social.

Finished it a few weeks ago and I'm still thinking about the bit in which the amazing @shonamaclean.bsky.social writes about people mostly playing music and dancing, and her words make it so much more moving, powerful and thrilling than any director, actors and actual musicians ever could...

I must have read some issues of the Spanish 'Juez Dredd' series (left image, 100 'pesetas' used to be worth about 0.66€). It didn't last long, and not much was published for quite a few years. Eventually I started buying US comics. I still own the first few American Zeniths...

In my mind, this is a figure from an, as yet, unmade #WithnailAndI sequel, during which Withnail gets cast in a superhero film, and that's why I bought it. (And also because it was only about 10€, instead of 25-30€ which was its original price...)

I'm not usually interested in this sort of comic-book but I was curious to know how in this day and age someone could justify creating a superhero (one assumes) team without even a single female character in it, not even a token one. And it turns out there's a really good reason...

You've been blowing our little Spanish minds since the 90s, and you've managed to get increasingly better which is, well, mind-blowing! I've shared your recent updates with my mates (HUGE Conan fans) and they can't stop drooling over their screens. Your Spanish publishers are going to be very happy!

Idea for someone with Photoshop (other brands are available, I imagine) skills: replace the words "alien" and "predator" with the names of the AI companies fighting each other right now. Keep the "whoever wins... we lose" tagline.
