I got to see PAC perform several times, including a singles match against Claudio Castignoli. He was a brilliant wrestler. Absolutely gutted right now. 🤼

And Carlos did at least get to draw this, which is maybe my all time favorite Hawkeye illustration. Man was he great.

Please give me twenty likes I want to answer them all and it will be embarrassing if I have to do it without them

Just got in a supply order and this was one of the boxes.

A normal size box containing (ironically I suppose) just one little box of box cutters

I asked Steve Rude for Blue Beetle in a commission request and this is what he came up with 🥰

This is the worst comic book I heave read in a long, long time. 😵‍💫

The Banks. Whatever you do, don’t read it, unless you want to buy my copy on eBay.

Just finished reading the latest volume of Brink and it’s at least a top 10 all time comic. Just a complete and total masterpiece.

Yesterday my kid asked me to name my top ten superhero costumes. I think this is accurate: -Nexus; -The Rocketeer; -Blue Beetle; -The Huntress; -Firestorm; -Hourman; -Wildfire; -Hawkeye; -Captain Britain; -Black Knight.

Had to laugh when I saw this cover to the upcoming Alter Ego. I'm a lot more forgiving of Roy Thomas than most, but the man is shamelessly self-indulgent. 🙄

The cover to Alter Ego issue 194. It depicts Wolverine at a bar next to his supposed creator, Roy Thomas, with a headline "Rascally Roy shamelessly celebrates six decades in comics"

That's a good choice! I would say the second Doctor Strange series, that starts in the 70s and runs into the late 80s, was consistently great no matter who was the creative team.

One of my earliest comic book memories is reading this one. When I read those issues as an adult I was flooded with memories.

Seems an appropriate shirt to wear today. No idea why. Just struck me this morning. #AEW 🤼

Me wearing my AEW Revolution 2024 shirt, featuring Sting and Darby Allin vs the Young Bucks. Who can say why I chose to wear it today?

We actually found it on clearance at an art/toy shop last year! It was made by IDW Games; here’s a photo of the box. I’m not much for puzzles but I also love Usagi so I couldn’t resist. 🙂
