I *hate* that Clark as Superboy is back. It's a relic of the past that belongs in the past. Yes, it wrecked the Legion back when Byrne did it, but there are other options now that weren't available then. Move the fuck on from the fucking Silver Age already.

I mean, just a few pages earlier they explained that was what would have happened to him if he'd been sent back via Lena's device. But I guess their memories of that got wiped. Also, I don't want to break my streak of buying ACTION, but I'm so done with Waid's SMALLVILLE AU fic.

I'm glad "Kingdom of Zod" is finally over. Was it really necessary to have that whole dramatic scene of Clark whining about how he can't go back to the past with his memories of the future? Like, it seriously didn't occur to Booster or the others that Clark's memories would need to be wiped?

Right after he defeats Green Lantern

Was thinking about how this was just like having a child scream directly in my ear, which somehow led me to think about that thing babies do where they press their open mouth against your face. The sense memory hit hard.

While I was getting the groceries out of my car, a bird somewhere, maybe in the tree in my front yard, let out some kind of shriek. Me: That was *right* in my fucking ear.

Who remembers those comic ads for gross snacks?

A comic page which is a parody of comic ads for Hostess Fruit Pies (and other Hostess snacks):
ADVERTISEMENT
Val in SWEETENING THE DEAL

VAL (circa the Val Cannon mysteries, mid-to-late 90s) is walking on a sidewalk. A guy (Apparently JACK) is sitting on the steps of a house.
JACK: Hey Val!
VAL: Hey Jack

JACK: say... you wanna messa round?
VAL: Not if you still fuck like you did last week.

VAL (walking away): CAll me when you lear to eat pussy.
JACK: How about if I sweeten the deal...

JACK: ...with some Duchess® Cream Pies?

JACK: They've got flaky, tender crust and delicious filling!
VAL: Hmm

VAL is on a mattress with no sheet, with no pants on, looking a bit irritated. Her pants are there. We see JACK's butt as he is apparently passed out on his stomach. VAL is reaching for a Duchess® Cream Pie.
VAL: Well, he still doesn't know what he's doing...

VAL, about to bite into the pie: ...but let's try one of these things.

VAL, chewing a bite of the snack: ...it tastes like chemicals!

Pfft, I've already got infinite personalized music. I make up new songs all day long. Sure, most of them are just new lyrics to existing songs, but all AI is doing is mixing together existing music.

I mean, the desire to be consumed was a huge part of it. If he just wanted to die there would have been easier and more efficient ways to go about it than trying to entice StarKist to grind him up.

Jon Maki @jonpaulmaki.com · 30/09/2026

Did Charlie the Tuna have a death wish or a vore fetish, or some combination of the two?

Charlie the Tuna underwater getting his usual "Sorry Charlie" note from Starkist on a fishing hook. They are apologizing for not catching him, killing him, and canning him so that he can be consumed.

The idiot part just refers to the reasoning behind the name.

And even if he had met with her, so what?

I mean, that part I understood. It's the "Chasm" part that baffles me. But I guess there's a reason I haven't read any Spider-Man comics in the last 20 years...

Step 1: Be confused Step 2: Do a quick search and learn that Ben Reilly apparently calls himself "Chasm" now? Step 3: Remain confused

The thing is, even if Schmitt had been right about the game, that wouldn't actually prove anything. His entire argument was, "You were in Atlanta the day after Fani Willis admitted to having a relationship with Nathan Wade. I rest my case."

I never said it was! Get off my fucking sack!

One thing that’s interesting about this is that it shows that despite insisting the wokes overinterpet everything, conservatives are actually aware of and agree with their critics about how coded racist appeals work, they just like them bsky.app/profile/newr...

Yeah, there's a reason - well, many reasons, but this is one of them - that I've always been more of a DC person than Marvel, given that this was the period in which I started really getting into comics.

Well, whatever, just so long as it keeps people from constantly reviving the Batman discourse.

I guarantee that he would not notice that the number is incorrect.

Please just write your own goddamn story about an orphaned billionaire solving every problem by giving away all of his money. I'm sure it will achieve astonishing success for decades across all media.

You guys are salty about the loss of access, huh? Finally got hit where it hurts.

The real question is how many of his kids he could name. (I maintain that if you asked him if he could name all four of his kids he might be able to pull it off, but would not realize that it's a trick question.)

Also the Slacker Generation.

I mean, if you want to get technical, he could have saved himself, but he refused to eject because he thought he could bring the jet down safely. But no, in that, Martin's death wasn't as presented on LANTERNS.
