This just has me thinking about Spider-Man’s villains - while there are bald bad guys, like Vulture and Kingpin, they’re mostly guys with BAD haircuts:
Doc Ock: Bowl cut
Venom: Mullet
Jackal: John Bolton moustache
Green Goblin: ?????

As far as I'm aware, no superhero has a rogues gallery quite as consistently *bald* as Superman's ferocious flock of follicly-challenged foes. Dozens of chrome-domed criminals have made Superman the ire of their depilated deviousness over the decades, so let's meet SUPERMAN'S BALDEST FOES!

The set design is somehow only the second-most over-the-top thing in this scene, after Steven Berkoff.

It's me, your friend who was too into comics growing up.
YOU: what if his name was penis parker and he shot web by jacking his dick lol
YOUR FRIEND WHO WAS TOO INTO COMICS GROWING UP: They actually did that as a whole arc in the late 80s. Wasn't Conway's best work.

A connection I never made before: Oliver Stone directed and co-wrote The Hand, in which Michael Caine plays the creator of Conan-like barbarian Mandro, and a year later he co-wrote the first Conan the Barbarian movie.
I'm probably getting the wrong message from The Hand.
The message I'm getting is that if you're an artist never talk to someone else about artistic integrity.
Very few people understand it.

Belatedly got around to reading VENOM: BLACK WHITE AND BLOOD #2, and @thekarlapacheco.bsky.social and Pere Perez created a wonderful late-‘90s throwback to Larry Hama’s hoo-ha-ing secret agent Venom. It’s a blast.

If there is one thing Disney is doing right it’s that they are keeping the WHAT ABOUT BOB? (1991) hand puppets preserved in their archives.

Threw on the new Criterion of NIGHTMARE ALLEY 2021 and forgot that the reappearance of Richard Jenkins and Mary Steenburgen makes this the Catalina Wine Mixer of Guillermo Del Toro's oeuvre.

Ah, this is a bummer. I got "wrapping things up" vibes from last week's issue, but it's still a bit of a shock to get it confirmed.
I loved how this series leaned heavily into the youth of today while still tossing in some wild continuity deep pulls for weirdos like me. (1/2)

![And so we come to the end.
It has I confess come upon us sooner than we thought and more sudden than we hoped – but that, I suppose, is the nature of all life’s endings.
[section of thanks abridged for character limit]
Comics will mend your heart, if you let them. When I was a scared, lonely, closeted kid, the Marvel universe’s heroes were there for me when very little else was. That is a debt I can never pay back, but one I’ve tried with great travail to pay forward. I want to believe we have afforded a little of that same refuge to those who sought it. I hope you saw yourself; please know you were seen. Til we all meet again (and may it be soon), may you find each other. May you find yourself. Remember that there’s always time – but waste no time. And what is broken is still beautiful.
Above all, remember love. It is all that lasts.

Aw, RIP. A long life and a storied career. From all I've ever seen of him and his work, the man was definitely the sorta fella you'd fondly describe as "a real character."

This is how I found out that apparently the reality show Big Brother, which I have never seen, periodically features a guy in a robot costume who insults the contestants.
Hey @officialsuper7.bsky.social, this one seems like a layup for Reaction. So, when?
