The thing about the green lantern show that i find so unappealing is how it reduces the idea of a green lantern to a cop who happens to be from space but the aesthetics of cops being applied to green lantrrns is as ill fitting as the aesthetics of the military being applied to star trek fleets

Hey comics people, friends & colleagues. As of today, our friend @artyomtopilin.bsky.social is under house arrest in his home town of Tolyatti due to ongoing FSB investigation. We don't have much details yet, but his computer and phone were taken by the police, so communication with him is hindered.

It's so cool to learn that while rob liefeld had a small role in a work for hire capacity in the creation of cable, it was the legendary artist jim lee who breathed life into the character by making him the son of Cyclops and Madeleine Pryor which made him an enduring figure rather than a footnote.

Ben's Young Shadow books are a beauty, but what doesn't get stated enough is the subtle humor Ben infuses in his art in the foreground or the background, or how his love of animals shows up in different characters throughout. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy!
