Noah Centineo Amuro is objectively hilarious and I hope it’s true

mack the knife and return of the mack are sorta about the same thing when you get down to to it

They made a comic for people who wished the Prequels had more trade disputes and miss when Star Trek was guys talking in a room.

Despite being only 150 pages, the breadth of information being conveyed visually and textually rewards a close read. This is the only comic I’ve read that recommends Trotsky and Plato as supplementary material. It does not hold your hand, demanding far more from the reader than any superhero fare.

The other book I read this weekend was Aubrey Sitterson and Jed Dougherty’s Free Planet. Easily one of the most inventive new Sci-Fi texts I’ve chanced across, even if it does wear its influences (40k, DS9, Dune) on its sleeve.

They should bring back the Concorde but make it socialist some how

god I want to make a game with manual-based copy protection

“Soak thy injury in a dram of fresh water done about with epsom salt to stave off putrefaction” it is 2026

Surgery be so futuristic and then the wound care instructions sound like medieval medicine with double digit fatality rates

White 🥷🏿 love to succumb to madness

Reading the At the Mountains of Madness Manga. This is so cool.

Immortal Thor was some straight dogshit, maybe Ewing’s worst series. But Mortal Thor, that’s the stuff

Bluesky truly taking off as a website now that I’m getting successfully ragebaited by cultural opinions that objectively do not matter

But also like, the median music broadcasting executive was Adolf Hitler Junior, the biggest pop musician in the world doing House Music undeniably had a transformative affect on opportunities for Black and Gay musicians to get access to a wider audience.

FWIW I don’t think what she was doing was stealing, she was genuinely entrenched in that culture, gave Prince and other black artists a bunch of money, plus we don’t call any other forms of homage or canon building stealing. She’s not Kenny G

Honestly “stealing” from black and gay people prior to like 1990 was a heroic act

Like a Prayer is the first song I knew that was good

It matters about as much as like what color Dr Robby’s motorcycle is.

It is barely a thing in comics prior to the 90s Perez redesign (which I like) and was commonly used in comics to introduce white passing characters who were not traditionally WASP white.

Whenever I foray into comic spaces on Instagram or TikTok I’m met with the shockingly common belief that Batman is a real guy who is abusing his ethnically Romani sons

This has a lot of overlap with the concerningly large amount of modern day comic fans who have created increasingly insane invented ethnographies of characters like Scarlet Witch or Nightwing and actively resent the published comics for not representing them. Great piece!

I feel like this

Leaving twitter last year and largely not being online enough on Bluesky by comparison had meant that the concept of a Pitt Fandom, much less a hostile one has completely passed me by.

IDW is printing Marvel and DC via their artists editions as well

I'm still trying to figure out how to interpret a comics industry where both Dark Horse and Fantagraphics are making extra cash by reprinting old Marvel comics.

Oh I know but you gotta lie for slander

So excited to get caught up on the Pitt (only seen like two episodes of season 2)
