S. Brady Calhoun @sbradycalhoun.bsky.social · 13/09/2026So then I explained Solid Blood to her where Kirkman and Ryan Ottley released a single issue of an ongoing series and nothing else. And that single issue was issue 27. 100
S. Brady Calhoun @sbradycalhoun.bsky.social · 13/09/2026My wife has a very orderly and logical mind and she needs for things to make sense. And well, this is breaking her brain. “How can they release it without the other 7 issues.” 100
S.

S. Brady Calhoun @sbradycalhoun.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Alex Ross Marvel Dinensions is an interesting and cool book. 20 or 30 pages of double page marvel origin spreads and then the story kicks in and it’s Ross just going nuts on new villainous characters and building to a decent little conclusion. Half an art book for sure but still special. 011

S. Brady Calhoun @sbradycalhoun.bsky.social · 27/06/2025You can make a strong argument that number 1 is actually Iron Man because it changed cinema (love it or hate it) for this century.
