Week 16 begins!
Speedball starts to rebuild the New Warriors, and top of his list is Nova!
But as someone who has been subscribed to these services for years now, and with no room left in my apartment for more books, I really hope they allow their libraries to grow.
It's wild to me that even the original Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman runs have massive holes in them.
I hope it's not true because DC's long history deserves to be available. It stinks that Marvel seems to have slowed down adding older issues to Marvel Unlimited but at least there's usually a batch of issues once a month, better than nothing.
I thought I heard somewhere that DC Universe Infinite is no longer adding issues from the vault (as in back issues). Is that true? Are they only adding new/recent releases?
I thought I saw a petition going around some time ago asking DC to reconsider.
Yes, I think "good" sometimes falls into the trap of "is it consistent with 3-act Western storytelling traditions" or "does it hit the right storytelling beat on the exact right page".
To me "good" is "did I get pulled into the world of the story" and/or "did it move me"?

#BehindTheCover It's 1991, and Frank Miller debuts a new crime story, pushing his art further with the use of negative space to evoke classic film noir lighting. The acclaimed black & white serial appears in Dark Horse Presents before a graphic novel release the next year.

Quill was helping the Kree, trusting the Spaceknights. They had been infected by the Phalanx, who then took over the planet - it’s Annihilation: Conquest and Rich gets thrown in the deep end.
#Nova50thAnniversary 108/166
“And what about Richard Rider, the last Nova? What am I looking for now that I’m unemployed?”
With the war ended and a new status quo in the galaxy, our boy Rich contemplates returning home to Earth. Or how about… becoming the premier Marvel Cosmic hero of the universe!

Apologies to Brian Azzarello for the typo that left off the last letter of his name. I hate getting creator names wrong. They are the reason we love these comics.
Richard Corben had recently collaborated with Brian Azzarello on a Hellblazer story arc first, so this was a reunion for the two.
Cover of Startling Stories: Banner #1 by Richard Corben depicting the Hulk crashing through a wall and grabbing his alter ego, Bruce Banner
Page 1 of Startling Stories: Banner #1 depicting four horizontal panels with jaggled borders, each one showing the Hulk panicking and wrecking havoc, including ripping a man out of a vehicle and throwing him against a nearby wall
#BehindTheCover It's 2001, and Marvel Comics publishes underground artist Richard Corben for the first time. The 4-issue mini-series gives a new, visceral look at the Hulk.

I would probably do a music appreciation post covering music from the 1950s, '60s and '70s, and how it reflected the times.
Or I would do an improv course, which would probably be more fun as a summer course for kids. Improv scenes with mutant powers would probably be amazing too.
