Batman stands over a cowering sorcerer on a precipice of some kind. “You know EXACTLY what you’re in for,” the Dark Knight says, as a Lovecraftian entity looms in the red sky behind him.

I’m in a group chat with Matt Reeves and George RR Martin called “Patience Is A Virtue 😈😈😈”

Frustrated that his plans to remake New York aren't moving fast enough, Robert Moses offers Godzilla a sweetheart deal to obliterate a bunch of ethnic neighborhoods

Thanks, Stu!

God, what I wouldn’t give to watch Absolute Bruce dismantle the Punisher. We’re gonna finish what Charlie started, Frank. We’re taking your ass back to Da Nang

A real know nothing patriot would see the head of the o’ryan mob for the thuggish hibernian brute he really is

From New Gods #4, by Jack Kirby: Orion bids farewell to his fallen comrade Seagrin as he returns to the Source.

That’s my quarterback. That’s my teammate

From The Hunger Dogs, by Jack Kirby: Orion’s final confrontation with Esak, who betrayed the New Gods after being disfigured in the war against Apokolips.

I’ll never understand the impulse to depict Orion as a total dickhead bully rather than a noble soul tormented by his own nature. He can be such a wonderful character

Guys are always saying shit like “Deepwood Motte”

George RR Martin has given fantasy nerds a chance to Remember Some Guys the way sports nerds do. Tristifer Botley. Amory Lorch. Lem Lemoncloak

This is so sick. Israel struck apartment buildings, medical facilities, even a crowd of mourners by a cemetery, per FT reporting

One of our cherished folkways

Very easy to imagine King writing the foreword to a Crossed trade where he describes Ennis as “one sick puppy”

I’ve compared him to Tarantino in the past, but Garth Ennis is really the Stephen King of comics: one of the most gifted storytellers in his medium, truly insightful about human nature and great at portraiture, but politically/thematically superficial and (often) tonally juvenile

I have 24 hours to raise the remaining $625. I have to be at work extra early tomorrow for an inspection so I am really hoping I can get the funds together by late tonight so I can take care of the room before I have to head out for that. Anything helps even sharing this post!

Iranian Joker astonishes me every time I see him. The sheer balls on Starlin to attempt it and O’Neil to OK it—we haven’t seen hubris like this since Euripides

Stunning no matter how many times I see it. I genuinely cannot believe that happened

I just kinda *happened* to listen to @blackcasebook.bsky.social’s “Death in the Family” episode for the first time this week, and hoo-boy that shit with Joker as the Iranian delegate to the UN hits worse every time it comes up. XX

Nice thought you got there. Be a real shame if someone terminated it with a cliche…

Despite its cheapening over the years, "terrorism" is a term with a specific, useful meaning: spectacular violence meant to shape a political narrative, e.g. the impossibility of a ceasefire. And that is precisely what the terrorists who govern the state of Israel are doing here.
