Someone was having the debate about who was better between Damon and DiCaprio and my instincts went Damon purely because he's had just as successful a career by taking a wider breadth of roles. DiCaprio is a little allergic to franchises and I respect an actor who has the willingness to take one on

because Claremont understands that as a cultural product and a thing real-life people experience through fiction, superheroes aren't professional athletes, they're you when you get to work on time even though the bus driver tried to roll your stop

Byrne's work trends clinical, even when he's being sexy. Claremont is always human, almost embarrassingly so, and that's the key to his appeal. I'm regularly doing things that require like 30% of my strength, yet upon peeling open the safety seal on the goddamn foaming soap I'm still like, "I win"

This page gets cited as the point where John Byrne decided to stop working with Chris Claremont — apocryphally, Byrne thought Claremont's dialogue undermined Colossus' strength. I find this to be a fascinating instance of one guy approaching fiction with calipers while another shows up with tequila

Colossus, full metal skin and everything, hauls a stump out of the ground with a chain, saying "by Lenin, either my heart with burst and my steel body crack--"

Re: Brickhouse of ideas. I think this is a really smart and strong idea for Marvel. The Compact Comics don't quite work for Marvel in the same way - DC have just spent decades working on evergreen stories of 8-18 issues. They've got a bench. What Marvel does is runs, and this is what you get here.

The size of manga is probably the least important part of why it's successfully but it is an important part of why they are convenient and convenience matters so there's that. Incredibly diverse genres is harder to reverse engineer but affordability and convenience are not

The public consciousness is fickle and easily manipulated. They will watch anything as long as they think it is good. The alternative is that if you set up X-Men movies as the new MCU tentpoles you can rewire their thinking and trick them into believing Riot at Xavier's was a big bombastic story-

I would argue that an overreliance of adapting event comics has put the MCU into an awkward position and that it should probably stop doing that. There are plenty of grand stories that are not event comics and it is a shame that the Avengers movies have largely ignored that

I believe it has been mentioned on more than one occasion by Brevoort that synergy is largely a thing that happens within Marvel Comics to capitalise on what is happening in the MCU. The new corporate structure probably means that it is easier for that to happen way less now because all parties are-

In hindsight it actually makes a lot of sense that Feige doesn't want MCU synergy in the comics because in the long run it makes his job harder because then they can’t really adapt half of the shit the comics put out the past couple years because they’re intentionally derivative of stuff the MCU did

comics and as a result it feels like anything goes with these books. The horror of it all doesn't just feel like a flavour, it feels like an opportunity and a framework to deliver completely new stories, in ways that perhaps they would not have thought of if it were the mainline. Anyway, shit rocks

I have so many thoughts of Midnight Marvel first issues but these are real winners for me. Very confident first issues that keep their cards close to their chest but invite great curiosity and create great anticipation. Each creative team feels entirely unbeholden to their original respective-

Just to catch everyone up. Spain is having massive collective action in response to their housing crisis. And France is having a massive collective action in response to an education crisis. It's horrible that circumstances are what they are, but it's heartening to see people lock arms together.

What makes Absolute work might not necessarily make Midnight work but even Absolute books like Absolute Green Lantern, Flash and to an extent Superman use origin stories for the opening arcs

Oz The Mediocre @ozthemid.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I think there are advantages and disadvantages to both approaches. When you dive straight in you can immediately get to the action but when you start with the origins you can spend more time with the characters and soak in the world a little more before all the change really kicks in

This is what every writer of every legacy DC comic has done since the 1960s. Nobody who has dedicated their lives to writing comics didn’t have ideas for those comics going in. #ngl

Besides Geoff Johns and Conner Kent being a partial clone of Superman and Lex Luthor, do we know any other headcanons canonized by DC writers and artists once they got to oficially work at DC?

To be fair the industry had been trending this direction long before Absolute hit the stands, horror comics have been the great trend of the last decade or so. I think the industry is now approaching a point where it wants horror to be a focal point and not just a flavour
