#CoverAndSplash THE BUZZ~!!! DeFalco, Frenz, and Sal Buscema. I would never have been able to tell this comic was by Ron Frenz if it wasn't written there.

Got some Green Lantern, some Iron Man some Spidey, another opportunity to listen to a @goshgollywow.bsky.social pod. Bishop purchase was definitely beer-influenced. What If looks fun. Chipping away at Secret Wars.

Ooooo! Bonus!! I only get to keep one...I hope the other guy is a Spidey fan. I've been wanting to pick up Dan Watters' Arkham City for awhile now.

#OctoberCoverChallenge (Day 15): Tripping Out! This is the only issue of Shade the Changing Man I've ever read....but I friggin loved it. Can't remember who the artist is. Maybe I'll look it up later.

"Are you boys cooking in there?" "Nooooo...." "Are you building an interocetor?" "NOOOO!" Mrs. Mulligan for replacement Fantastic Four member.

#OctoberCoverChallenge (Day 14): Nature Gone Amuck! Family Tree was a neat premise that didn't live up to its potential, in my eyes. I didn't jive with Hester's art, either. I was really confused about if the main antagonist was a man or a woman, and I don't feel that was intentional.

#OctoberCoverChallenge (Day 13): Flying Creature or Saucer Attack I really enjoyed Pat Broderick's work on this series.

OctoberCoverChallenge: (Day 12): "Oh no! Not/It's you!" I love this cover so much. The green and purple reflected on Surfer is leading you to believe he's talking about Drax, but (spoiler!) he ain't. A super fun issue.

Honestly, who sees this on the spinner rack and doesn't buy it? What a masterful cover.

#OctoberCoverChallenge (Day 10): Bloody I was really excited about this series when announced, but I found it fell a bit flat. May give it a re-read at some point.

#CoverAndSplash Been doing a read of X-Factor from the start, just hit the Walt era. #XFactorFriday

#OctoberCoverChallenge (Day 9): Tied Ip/Bondage I quite enjoyed Bret Blevins work on Sleepwalker.

#OctoberCoverChallenge: Day 8): Trapped or Buried Alive There was a period of time at Marvel where Tom Morgan covers were inescapable. Try as you might.

#OctoberCoverChallenge (Day 5): Crossed Into a Different Realm/Reality The late, great Steve Lightle (and a hat tip to George Jetson) as the Amazing, perpetually shrinking Spider-Man shrinks into the Microverse.

#OctoberCoverChallenge (Day 4): Scary/Spooky Building House of Whispers #1, cover by Sean A. Murray The Sandman Universe books varied in quality, with only Lucifer being compelling IMO. House of Whispers was the worst of the bunch, though. That said, great covers!

Dumbass Cyclops havin' another temper tantrum, blastin' the ground again.

#CoverAndSplash X-Factor #6 Cover by Frenz & Rubinstein Interiors by Guice & McLeod Early-X-Factor Cyclops was super duper petulant, man.

I can't keep smoking these ridiculously skinny cigarettes!

#CoverAndSplash - X-Factor #5. Last issue before Louise takes the helm. Layton has some good concepts but the script and execution is really bad.

Entering this into my personal lexicon right about now

This is damn near the most ham-fisted comics page I ever did read. I can almost hear the Greenhilly* music in that centre panel. Save us, Weezie!! #XFactor

Share a film that has significance to you, for whatever reason 🎥 This movie awakened my comedic side. I mimicked the hockey play-by-play scene while watching a game with a friend quite impressively. That led to doing a Bob & Doug skit for a class project that the teacher loved so much...

#CoverAndSplash Coffee. Kitty. Comic. Pleasant surprise to find out I got some Gene Colan pencils coming my way. Not sure who did the cover. Not listed in CLZ. Maybe Al Milgrom?

Happy #BATMANDAY to all who celebrate. (Who decides these things anyhow?)

#CoverAndSplash Marvel Tales 210 Zeck on the outside, Andru and Giacoia on the inside.

Reading the John Byrne FF omnibus (or Vol 1 of it, anyhow) and plowing through the Marv Wolfman stories at the beginning is really draining.

Quick pic of a comic I happen to have at my office while I wait for my daughter to get out of the bathroom so we can order Chinese food.
