Alright, Marvel detectives. What do we think “1 Day” actually is—and what in this teaser has you leaning that way?

Smile: For the Camera — 3.5/5 Even in death, they have to look beautiful. Miriana Puglia’s art nails the glamour of the modeling world. Even the horror looks gorgeous. The story is predictable and the curse’s payoff feels rushed, but it’s a stylish summer popcorn flick. I had fun with it.

Quit drinking, they said. Think of all the money you’ll save, they said. Apparently happy hour just moved to Wednesdays and now has a pull list.

A spread of comic books and a Rocketeer hardcover laid out across a light-colored ottoman. Visible covers include Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Jonah Hex, Superman: The Stranger, Crowbound, The Demon, and other comics from a Wednesday pull. The books are fanned out casually, with The Rocketeer: Amazing Tales hardcover near the top.

@beetlemoses.bsky.social new book is gloriously stupid, highest praise. Bone-dry, literal wit. He takes a ridiculous idea to its logical conclusion, then somehow makes it even dumber. Perfect timing. No overexplaining. I laughed my ass off. ARC via NetGalley. All opinions my own.

Tomorrow’s pull list got weird and exactly the right way. What you got tomorrow?

If you’re like me, the TBR stack never really gets smaller. What’s got your attention this week? Major props to my LCS for ordering me a copy of Black Tower. I read it digitally and immediately realized I’d somehow slept on a book that is extremely my shit.

Happy 95th birthday to Dick Tracy. Still one of the coolest silhouettes in comics. Still punching weird-looking criminals in the face. Still somehow making a yellow trench coat look intimidating. 95 years is a hell of a run!

I spent years wanting Mahershala Ali’s Blade. Then that project fell apart, and he reunited with Bassam Tariq for a smaller, stranger, deeply personal original action movie. Honestly? The superhero movie disappeared. The personal movie survived. I’m extremely here for that.

What comic made you break your own “digital-first” rule? The older I get, the more I want comics worth owning. Not “variant cover because shiny.” Give me weird paper. Oversized art. Make the physical book part of the experience. Absolute Martian Manhunter is wrecking my digital-first philosophy

I think of Norm Macdonald a little like Tom Waits. Their peers seemed to understand the depth before everyone else did. A musician’s musician. A comedian’s comedian. Both so singular that imitation only ever gets you the surface. Norm was operating on a different frequency.

Apparently my birthday starts now. I regret nothing.

The kung-fu connection is obvious. The clan is why these belong together. READ THIS / SPIN THIS The Immortal Iron Fist × Wu-Tang Clan — Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) You inherit the mythology. Then you earn your place inside it.

My seven-year-old has turned into a feral beast. Tiny, barefoot, and furious about circumstances she personally created. Second grade is going great!

Eight. American. Dollars. Total. This is why you always check the used-book shelves. No Man’s Land. Hardcover Court of Owls. Absolute Gotham robbery. Used bookstores remain undefeated. Support your local bookstores.

Bluesky feels like an abandoned mall where every remaining store is somehow a networking event. There are active pockets, sure, but you walk past twelve shuttered storefronts to find them. Then someone hands you their newsletter.

Men will literally write a Dracula puppet musical instead of going to therapy. Important clarification: pro-therapy, pro-Dracula puppet musical.

Wow y’all. I don’t know why I waited so long to read Blacktop Wasteland. @blacktopkid.bsky.social can flat-out write. Beautiful lines on the surface, but so much of the power is in the subtext—what he leaves sitting underneath it all. I’ve reread sentences just because they hit that hard.
