To find the truth he must speak with Darkseid himself.

It's interesting that it seems about each week, we have a new comic shop make use of our API for their sites. You'd think either the publishers or distributors would offer some type of service to help them out.

agree with this. it really is what i've always hoped for in digital comics. (it also has this thing that doesn't sound like a big deal but when you're in swipe mode, the pages go flush to the top and bottom of screen. CMX and NI have this thing where it stops like a half inch early I HATE IT)

On Christmas Eve, Wildcat sits on Santa's lap and reads off his Christmas list. Standing nearby, Green Lantern is dressed as an elf and waits for Ted to finish to let the next kid through. As the line of kids wait, one of them says, "Wow, Catwoman needs a shave." - JSA #55, Feb 2004 by Geoff Johns, Leonard Kirk, Keith Champagne & Wade Von Grawbadger. Plot assist by Jim Beard. Cover by Carlos Pacheco & Jesus Merino.
For over 50 years, the founding members of the JSA have visited a special friend on Xmas Eve.
This year the JSA notifies her that the criminals she testified against back in 1950 have all passed away.
She no longer has to hide In the witness protection program -- Ma Hunkel can finally come home.
Pretty much the same experience I had.
Yeah, pretty horrible. It's being reported their son killed them.
I remember buying these off the rack at my local drugstore, and being blown away by José Luis García-López's art.
Always wanted a copy of that LOSH collectors edition, but trying to find it in the late 70s / early 80s was pretty futile.
Currently: Laughing Ogre (Columbus)
Past: Dragon's Lair (Omaha)
I went to the Billy Ireland Museum's Bill Watterson exhibit about 10 years, and it was pretty amazing seeing his original work in person and see some the subtle changes that were made before they were published.

Oof... it's shocking just how much of the internet is using Cloudflare. Glad I've avoided using it in my projects.
Finally got around to adding support for writing / reading metadata (ComicInfo.xml or MetronInfo.xml) to a comic PDF with Darkseid.

Redcoat, the Ghost Machine/Image Comics title from Geoff Johns and Bryan Hitch, is in development as a feature film through Atlas Entertainment.
Too bad Marvel is shutting down their API. Didn't use it often, but it was useful those times I did.

My horror novel BONES OF OUR STARS, BLOOD OF OUR WORLD hits the shelves today!
This is a book that will keep you turning the page and keep you guessing… and I’d be shocked if you expect how it all wraps up!

Today is the birthday of artist Dave Cockrum (Nov. 11, 1943-Nov. 26, 2006). Creator or cocreator of Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Thunderbird, Wildfire, Mystique, the Starjammers, the Imperial Guard, Magik, & much more!
That's a rough call... I'd go with either the Jonah Hex or Aquaman.
