From July-Nov 2026, Marvel has published/will publish just one title at $3.99: Generation X-23. Unless something shifts, the Nov issue will be the last that Marvel issues at that price point, with the rest of the line having gradually shifted to the $4.99 price point.

In part because of MEMES, I started watching 7th Heaven and the first episode starts with the mom and dad about to fuck but then all the kids come in, and the oldest finally gets there and goes "hey, it is Saturday morning, mom and dad sleep in", and they all run out and the oldest winks at the dad.

Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.
Miss Piggy and Dolly Parton in fancy dresses posing together photo of Tim Curry surrounded by muppets, smiling for a photo. A quote from curry is added “it didn’t go very well. It didn’t survive the shoot. She felt I wasn’t being faithful to her” it’s him discussing his ill fated affair with miss piggy

The push for Harry Potter the TV show is going to be completely enormous—they're debuting it on fucking Christmas—and it is the responsibility of TV critics to contextualize this as rewarding the world's most transphobic billionaire (which is saying something) in everything we write about it.

On Spec magazine had a do-it-yourself ethos, a positive mandate, guided not by lucre, but by art and passion and inclusivity. The best aspects of fandom. After 35 years it shut its doors ... but also earned its first Hugo Award nomination. I'll be voting for On Spec for Semiprozine. 1/2
On Spec #129 has a cover with a cyborg orca jumping out of the surf.
