Today's delivery because somehow I didn't have a nice resolution copy of this... which is just strange.

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Okay so I loved my Fisher-Price Adventure People toys as a kid. A lot. But... NOBODY TOLD ME PIRATE SHARKS RIDING CYBORG SHARKS AND BOTH OF THEM HAVE EYEPATCHES WAS AN OPTION! I feel vaguely cheated.

Its a pic of a toy pirate shark riding a cyborg shark. Both have eyepatches.

Here's my tribute to the dudes angry the new Gears of War has pride and other inclusive logos for their multiplayer... (Had to screenshot as the character limit got in the way)

In today's Adventures in Gatekeeping, I saw some dip complaining the Morlock Annalee looks too frumpy and such in the new Wolverine game. This is Annalee in her original comics form. Fucking casuals.

This random post hating on the Wolvie game is the weirdest self own ever. That's Marvel's Power Broker. C list mastermind who ignored all warnings in his hubris and turned himself into a musclebound lump. Couldn't move, constant pain, slowly dying. That's who this guy who made this says he is...

For ex, I've never met a comic book gatekeeper with 1/25th my knowledge and understanding for the medium. Period. They just want theirs narrow shitty exclusive version of things to be true. Like they'll get all pissed off if the Punisher cries. And yet literally decades ago...

I dunno but I feel like it. Favorite "Flagsuit/Super-Patriot" hero for a country that's not yours. For me it's Union Jack. With honorable mention to Jack Staff.

Daring Comics #5, 1940. I'd say I have questions but... no this feels pretty clear.

Betcha didn't know I was friends with a conqueror, did'ja?

Happy International Dog Day!

Saw this pic from a story about Shiloh Hendrix. This is the picture of a Nazi grifter bargain basement "She Bitch of the SS" asshole who is happy to whine incessantly about her 1k fine for being terrible because racists gave her 900k for being terrible.

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

I figure it's fair given the decades anything that touched comics was mocked and derided and underfunded. Also, nobody else is owed chances by forcing other creatives out of their success. This might be a bit ironic but my response to that is a very Batman Dark Knight Returns sentiment .

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

"They're replacing Sam with Steve because they can't have two Caps and they hate us! There's No Way you can Sam as Cap and Steve around too! Wake up and scream in angry panic like the smart people!" Ah yes...no way at all.

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

Okay so seriously I like old Stormwatch. It was probably consistently my favorite Image title of its day. But... This might be indicative of what happens when you and your artist buddies start a comic company so you can make awesome stuff without those pesky writers and editors getting in the way.

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

I think about this scene a lot.

Here's the relevant bullshit conversation

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

So one place I diverge from other comic nerds is I just don't find those Moon Knight memes where they edit the dialog to be "funny and weird" amusing. Why? Because THIS is the comic I grew up reading. Oh Dracula owes him money? Yawn.

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

Okay the horror fan and toy afficiando in me says "this is life sized M3gan doll is cool". The part of me that worked child services says "Maybe check the buyers' hard drives..."

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

Same twit saying stupid shit. At least this time she's not defending pedophiles.

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

The DC Marvel crossover we need... Post yours if so inclined.

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

Like give me this guy as this character.

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

This interaction ended with someone trying to throw my own words back at me and messing it up and telling me to "shake my fish" instead of my "fist" so it wasn't all bad.

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

In honor of Pride month, here's Captain America and his gay childhood friend, Arnie Roth. Context: Roth had been tortured and brainwashed by the Red Skull to say he was a "freak" and other nasty stuff. This was Cap's reaction. Michael was Roth's lover at the time. This was published 42 yrs ago.

"But it looks like Buzz Lightyear!" Coolsies. Which came first? I had this. I got it in 1984.

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Folks who are knocking the new Luthor battlesuit from Man of Tommorrow are just showing no matter what they insist? They're really not aware of Superman lore and they don't care about it.

So two things... Is the war on protein in the room with us? And these are the same people who whine when others buy meat on assistance.

Pick a bond from the photos you already have on your phone...

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

I think this same "didn't really do the homework" problem also covers stuff like Star Trek and the people who whine its "woke" now. It's been fucking woke since 1966...you just were too dense to get the "subtle" messaging.

Without stating your age post your favourite film released the year you turned 18.

I realize they were reimaginings of other designs but I did really dig these.

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

Look I'm just saying comics and superheroes need to be like they were in the 70s and 80s. You know free of politics and social commentary!

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

"I am an extraordinarily brilliant person..." I know it shouldn't even be a thing by now but...wow.

Sola is upset about the storm and Kismet is trying to distract her.

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

Yet I regularly see these smug "oh you didn't know the US loved Nazis and didn't want to fight them, did you? Huh? Huh?" bullshit. As if THIS wasn't on sale in Dec 1940...

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

So I missed Leland Melvin Day but fortunately I already had put this into my Untamed Worlds rpg so I don't feel so bad.

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Love people who hear about Jimmy Oslen getting a quirky comedy-mystery show and are all "that will never work! Nobody would ever want to see stories about Jimmy!" It ran for 20 years. Jack Kirby worked on it. It had celebrity guest stars. Say it with me, gatekeeper types are fucking casuals.

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 15/02/2026

This needs to be in the Jimmy Olsen TV series...

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 06/02/2026

Random fun for Friday. 4 Comics I wish would be collected into trades and possibly done as an animated show. And I know some older collections exist for some of these but they're B&W or otherwise not the whiz bang cool editions they deserve.

120

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 05/02/2026

Dear "Real" Superman fans, If you don't like the new film and such? Whatever. But please stop hoping other people will be too ignorant to know your whining about how stuff like giving Jimmy Olsen his own lighthearted series is "nothing like the comics!" It's embarassingly ignorant.

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

Oh sure, one of these newfangled "woke" writers having Black Panther, clearly a BLM antifa extremist fighting the forces of laundry loving Americans...what? Oh, he's fighting the Klan in the 70s, isn't he? Huh.

100

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

Wait, this was Carol Danvers getting equal pay and not having to do puff pieces and recipes for a women's magazine. This must be one of those new woke comics! 1977 you say? Huh, that's odd...I thought leftist radicals only had weather machines, not time machines!

110

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

Yes yes, I mean sure this was kinda political, but we were already in the war and...wait, what's that? We weren't in the war for a better part of a year when this was published, to say nothing of when it was written? Gee, what a strange thing!
