I also got a free Codename V/Guy Fawkes mask (sorry Alan Moore!), which could come in handy someday.

I guess what I'm trying to tell you is, I love my new Spirited Away bento box, which I purchased from @mzspress.bsky.social and @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social, and I'm going to use this literally everyday for lunch whether I'm home or not. mzs.press/HO-HO-Holida...

The whole world needs to read Derf Backderf's Kent State graphic novel. It's a vital work that really drops the reader into what happened, and how it happened. It's meticulously researched and will inform you as much about today as it does about this historical event.
The cover to Derf Backderf's Kent State: Four Dead in Ohio, depicting the National Guard firing upon protesting college students.

I'm a bit late to posting this, but @goatsflyingpress.com are really, really good at making things and fulfilling Kickstarters. All this stuff I got from them is awesome.
My hardcover copy of Lake Yellowwood Slaughter from Goats Flying Press, featuring the a collage depicting the killer and presumably two victims along with a closeup of a knife. It features the tagline "When the kids are away...the grown-ups are prey!" Also pictured are a postcard with the drawing of a winged goat and a replica of a Pavilion Cinema movie ticket. The signed bookplate inside my copy of Lake Yellowwood Slaughter, signed by creators Gavin Guidry and Alejandro Arbona. Apparently, I got copy number 68 out of 250. Not bad! A poster reproducing the cover to Lake Yellowwood Slaughter rendered as a movie poster.

I love the original Mystique design. White long dress with slits all the way up to her waist, a belt made of skulls and another skull on her forehead at her hairline just because. Great stuff. If I could shapeshift, I'd just go around looking like this all the time.
Mystique, in her original design, standing in front of a door. Pencil art by John Byrne. Inks most likely by Terry Austin. I don't know offhand who the colorist was. Glynis Oliver, maybe? Mystique, in her original design, confidently delivering a speech with one arm outstretched. Pencil art by John Byrne. Inks most likely by Terry Austin. I don't know offhand who the colorist was. Glynis Oliver, maybe? A page from X-Men's Days of Future Past storyline. Mystique asserts her authority over the new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants by breaking up a fight between The Blob and Pyro.

I randomly started to re-watch Wolverine & the X-Men because I just don't remember much of it, and holy crap it's just way too relevant right now. The MRD is basically just ICE for mutants. The exact same gestapo tactics.
Artwork for the Blu-ray edition of the complete series of Wolverine and the X-Men.

You have been kidnapped and characters from the last tv show you watched is trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

Please don't send Richie. He'll mess it up. Have Sugar be the project manager of my rescue.

I've been trying to watch this, but my Criterion Channel doesn't seem to be working right now for some reason. I get this error message anytime I try to watch anything on there. It's annoying.

Anyway, I like Silver's other films, especially Between the Lines.
Error message when I try to watch anything on The Criterion Channel saying "Video could not load or timed out. Please try playing again later."

I think I missed a couple at the beginning. I'll keep working on it.
My Bluesky Alt Text Rating, showing that of my 281 posts (not including this one), 15 contain images, of which 6 are replies, 13 posts have alt text for a score of 86.67%. Good thing I remembered to put Alt Text on this image. That should help my rating.

My #comicsdna, as expressed in four comic book covers:

My current comics re-read is Daytripper, by Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba. I missed this when it was originally coming out, but did catch up a few years later. It's just a gentle, ineffably human piece of comics art.
The cover to the Daytripper trade paperback, depicting main character Bras de Olivias Dominguez sitting on a park bench with his dog sitting on the ground nearby. Behind Bras is an abstract collaging which includes a typewriter, a cityscape, and scene of two people meeting on a rowboat floating on the water.

I know this is very far from the point and isn't the main takeaway here, but I can't help but notice how similar these images look to Alberto and Giulia's cover of Goodnight, Paradise.

This part does!
Two panels from Air #1 by G. Willow Wilson and MK Perker. In the first panel, our heroine Blythe is cornered by Benjamin Lancaster and his associate, Adam. Lancaster says to Blythe "I'm afraid and apology will not be enough," to which she replies "Oh no, not for this." In panel two, Blythe says "For this" while giving Benjamin a swift kick in the schvantz.

There are many reasons I want to encounter space aliens, but the one reason why I'm hoping to get abducted by aliens is because I really want @oeming.bsky.social and @jamesthefourth.bsky.social to create a story about me.
The cover to Blue Book vol. I by James Tynion IV, Michael Avon Oeming, and Aditya Bidikar. The artwork by Oeming depicts a mountain road with a car having a light shone upon it by the UFO hoveing abit it.

Reading through @oeming.bsky.social's Oemnibus, which I bought from his site recently, and I just think this is such a cool idea. It just makes sense for an artist to put together a 300-page book that acts as a sampler of their published work that says "here I am. This is what I do."
The cover to Michael Avon Oeming's "Oemnibus," which depicts a human skull with stars in its eye sockets and a horseshoe-shaped protrusion growing from the top. The skull sits in front of a background of different colored triangles within other triangles.
