She/Her || Enemy of Entropy || Art by @kuroronin.bsky.social

Trapped in a world she never made, Valence fights valiantly to stem the relentless tide of entropy by finding off-beat indie games and reading the most maligned medium of them all, comics.

The dishonorable Judge Death has brought friends to my swell Affiliate Anniversary/Birthday I guess stream. You'll come keep them busy until I can throw the book, or the contents of a Lawgiver clip, at them right?

The iconic splash introducing the Four Dark Judges. Judge Fire proclaims THIS STREAM ISS GUILTY! Judge Fear declares THE CRIME ISS LIVE! Jude Mortis states THE SSSENTENCE ISS... and Judge Death finishes with DEATH!

It's my affiliate anniversary! Which means there's a certain Super Fiend I have been putting off dealing with for two years now.

At 7 pm UTC, we lay down The Law.
A plushie of Judge Death sits in front of the Judge Dredd Mega Collections of Young Death and Judge Death Lives.

There comes a time in every superhero's life when they get a relaunch with artistic merit and critical acclaim.

The wonderful @leoofox.bsky.social has given us a sneak peak at that bright future.

Don't Worry I Die At The End by Beck Kubrick
It's rare for autobio gag strips about mental health to be both funny and leave me sincerely worried about the cartoonist's wellbeing. Excellently distressing work, I look forward to checking out Beck's narrative work when it gets published.
The cover of "Don't Worry, I Die At The End" by Beck Kubrick, a smiling face, devoid of features such as eyes or a nose beyond a dot at the center of the face promises some exestential despair within. But these diary comics are 1000% true so you know it's gotta be nothing but sunshine and roses.

I <3 Kill from @aprilthefrogcomics.bsky.social
A really funny romp through workplace discrimination. Trolltina's determination and love for her work is truly inspirational. And there's at least three video game references, which will be a treat for you, the followers of a twitch streamer.
The cover of I <3 Kill by April Newton. It features a little blob of a girl in plate armor joyously swinging her spiked, heart tipped mace at nothing in particular.

Please comm 5word, he's one of my all time favourite artists to commission and always comes up with such unique and dynamic poses. I'd take all his slots for myself, but instead I'm generously letting you get in on the action.
Valence in four poses, standing somewhat casually, a very ass centric over the shoulder look, running into action, and another fairly ass centric walking away from the camera pose.

Two engagement baits in one day? I suppose I did make the special image for you telling me what fictional character I remind you of.

It's my birthday! And what would an anniversary issue be without a big retcon and a status quo shift?
Atop the final page of Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol, where Jane is welcomed back to Danny the Street and the lyrics about a better world from Awake by The Smiths fill the captions. A blue piece of paper reading The Retcon, or "Retroactive Continuity" was introduced to comics in the letters page of All-Star Squadron 18 by Roy Thomas to describe new, canon work that was set in the past but which may effect the present. Retcons have developed something ofa bad reputation over the years. Playing with the past can be a tricky thing to get right. Smart reinterpretation will be accepted without factoring in the rewrites, leaving the Secret Agent Parents, weddings sold to the devil and ill concieved relaunches being the poster boys for writing the past. However, I have a soft spot for recontextualising the past. Sometimes writers couldn't say what seems obvious now, either because they lacked the vocabulary or just as often, the permission to. Did you know Nightcrawler's parents were intended to be Mystique & Destiny? Claremont wasn't allowed in the 80s but it's canon now. Which is a very roundabout way of saying something I haven't been allowing myself. This should be a welcomed retcon, god knows it has been a popular fan theory for years. I'm a girl, in case the subtext wasn't clear. Atop the last page of Peter Milligan's Enigma, where a lizard ends his story unclear what happens next and starts again from the beginning in search of clarity, a pink slip of paper presents the following text The Secret Origin of Valence The Voyager It's always hard to know where to start with an origin. Is it the Spiderbite of dread I felt staring at a large mirror shortly after meeting someone who only knew me as a fem cartoon, or the muffled memories of teenage dysphoria that experience brought screaming back? Do I start when I first looked at my legs and wished I was a girl so I knew if not shaving them would be a defiant act? I suppose it doesn't really matter, it still lead to a decade of Australian summers wearing ankle length pants at all times. Just like a Valerie Solanas touting mother or an aversion ot mirrors or a general disquiet with existing in physical space doesn't matter. Because a secret origin isn't about why someone was disempowered. A secret origin is about what comes next. About being exposed to lasers and strange chemicals to turn my body into something that makes me happy to fight for justice in a world that hates and fears me. Heck, when you put it like that it starts to feel a little familiar.

I'd be liking and reposting this anyway may as well get in on gambling.

Halloween is over but the mummies are still swarming so Georgie and Dia are back to put them back into their collective sarcophagus!

I guess I should finish at least one scary game this Halloween. And that one will be Heartworm.

Also the awesome #VoyagerVisions from @lililyrical.bsky.social, go get a comm from her why don't you?
Valence standing there, bereft of games. All green too. It's like the Xbox Series X all over again. Dear god.

Ten games and uh. Some other ones are there as well. Don't worry about those ones. And certainly don't expect me to know anything about the competitive aspects of the ones that are competitive here.
Valence stands with the covers of Portal, Guilty Gear Strive, Sleeping Dogs, Tom Mason's Dinosaurs For Hire, Thomas Was Alone, Astroboy Omega Factor, The World Ends With You, Binding of Isaac Rebirth, Dragon Quest Heroes Rocket Slime, Taiko No Tatsujin (Arcade specifically). In the too obvious corner and therefore to be dismissed, Celeste, Pokemon Platinum, Team Fortress 2, Anthology Of The Killer.

I guess it's my job as a superhero to help you claw out of big sad! (Also let me know if there's anything else I can do to help!)

You read 2024's breakout Horror series Beneath The Trees, Where Nobody Sees right? You recognize new Horror icon Sam Strong and understand my Halloween costume? Great! I've got no time for more questions about the iron smell, I've got paint cans to bury.

#VoyagerVisions from @ponara.bsky.social
Valence dressed in a checked flannel and jeans wearing a bright yellow apron covered in an unknown red liquid, holding a shovel that seems to have more of that same crimson substance dripping down. On their face, a pair of safety goggles protect their eyes from whatever it was spraying fluids everywhere. And atop the head, a pair of bear ears making it clear this is a costume of Sam Strong, protagonist of Patrick Hovarth's Beneath The Trees, Where Nobody Sees.

These guys look like trouble, stay behind me while I try to reason with them.

#VoyagerVisions from @5wordsman.bsky.social
Valence, viewed from the back as they step forward with arm outstretched and open palm shown to whoever's in front of them. Also a great view of the butt if I do say so myself.

I heard you were in trouble so I'm running into action!

#VoyagerVisions from @5wordsman.bsky.social
Valence runs towards the camera with a confident expression, arm outstretched behind them holding their tonda.

I worry that my usual suit is a bit highly detailed for that scale so... I am a big fan of being put in a little outfit.

Which part? DC fired a trans writer for making some very middle of the road jokes about recent political happenings (going as far as an executive calling her in the middle of the night demanding she apologise) so I dropped their books. DCKO looks like this so I'm glad I'm not reading Multiversus.
A promo image for DC's latest big crossover event featuring Vampirella from Vampirella, Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat, Homelander from The Boys, Annabelle from The Conjuring or whatever the fuck, seemingly Red Sonja? Who I was sure was a Marvel character but whatever. And Sam Strong from Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees.
