Learned right from wrong reading Superman comics (as we all should)... I'm a life long comic book fan and avid collector. Also a displaced Winnipeg Jets fan who is loving life with my wife and kids in the beautiful Great White North. He/Him.

So sorry for your wife's loss... And for yours too. Having a good relationship with in-laws is a gift.

Sad for my country but happy for my goalie... #Helle deserves 2 medals for that game.

I've only seen one of those for sale and I bought it even with the cover partially detached. Didn't even haggle the price.

Batman + Beatles = MINE

Also, the story is genius! Paul is the only surviving Beatle and starts the "Paul is dead" rumour so people wouldn't suspect the others... So good.

Recently picked up a Men of War #1... Unsung bronze DC series and some crazy untapped potential with the Gravedigger character.

Avengers/Defenders war story is awesome!!... Some great covers too. Defenders 9, 10 and Avengers 116 are some of the best "hero vs hero" covers you will find.

I have a few of those but honestly, as a collector of almost 40 years, I still have no idea what keys exist in that Classics series. So many printings... I see bins of those at shows but no idea if any are worth searching for (other than the occasional one that just looks cool).

Not a big book... But Marvel Team-Up 130 was to me. It was one of my first books and I must have re-read and traced from Sal's art in that issue a million times. Good portion of my collection is drawn by him and his brother. #RIP

In every election... At every level, it always seems that "did not vote" is the highest percentage... It's so frustrating and so sad. I hope this is the wake-up call for many countries.

That's a pretty nice copy... Colours are so good. Looks crisp overall.

Somebody has got to figure out a way to do a "Teen Titans Go" treatment to the Metal Men... This SHOULD be a hit cartoon, toy and video game property.

Mail call arrived just in time... Found a great price on a Defenders 1... nice mid-grade-ish copy and a #TopShelfFriday book I had given up on.

But as I like to say, sometimes the book finds you.

I've always been fond of my Gold Key Astro Boy #1 that I just stumbled onto accidentally on Facebook one day... Had given up ever finding one. It's a hard to find top shelfer for #TopShelfFriday for sure.

What do you feel the plan is for Nyquist? Does he have more value in a trade if he doesn't play (and possibly look worse) or should he be tried in a top 6 role for a possible showcase?

That West Coast Avengers Byrne stint was a lot of fun. Always a favourite of mine.

Return of the original Torch, Great Lakes Avengers, awesome homage covers, Evil Wanda, VisionQuest... It's a pretty great run.

During a good bin dive, I almost forget my name. It's better than a massage at a spa... Hard reset for the brain and soul.

At this point I wouldn't say no to Bones returning honestly... But I doubt a coaching change happens no matter how long this goes.

Wonder if our ol' buddy Paul Maurice would sell his buddy Pete DeBoer on working for True North? Just thinking outside the usual box.

Nice... Tomb 10 is one of my favourite books.

Still hoping that Blade movie gets made at some point... After that Werewolf By Night special I had huge hopes for Marvel's amazing bronze horror characters.

I'm a "better to have low grade than no grade" but that one sounds really disappointing. Just be patient... Sometimes the book just somehow finds you when you least expect it.

The only way we would get changes on the #NHLJets is to have this 0-3 road trip. If they swept it, why change?

This is good news!

Right?

Right?????

There HAS to be changes coming. Two days until the next home game is plenty. The answers are not in that room.

I never saw it but will... Loved the original but always hoped a revival would have been something like Sam's daughter looking for him through time somehow (his kid would have been from the "leap home" episode where him and Al switched spots)... Wait. Would that be Al and Donna's kid then??? #OhBoy

@snseanreynolds.bsky.social @wiebesworld.bsky.social

Have a great show and night in Ottawa tonight.

I had to give up tickets tonight to see the #NHLJets as my daughter is curling out of town... I actually had hopes of getting a headband autographed!

Hoping for a happy #KnR tonight.

Love that Iron Man 150... Finally found a book I've been hunting for (Thor #229) for only $15... Absolute gorgeous cover and an added bonus of a promo for Wolverine's 1st appearance in Hulk 181.... Delicious.

Also found a Strange Adventures book that was extremely underpriced. It was a good trip.

That the "coach's kids" make it over Mark is ridiculous and everything that's wrong with any #HockeyCanada team from U9 to pros.

Sad lesson a lot of kids have to find out along the way.

Tampa game in Winnipeg had better be loud "Scheifele's better" chants from the crowd.

From start to finish.

I found that in a dollar bin about 10 years ago. Almost passed out on the spot.

Cool thing was the comic store didn't try to reprice it. Said it was their fault and my gain. I bought a couple bigger priced books too. The collector community needs to support each other... Always aim for "win-win".

It doesn't matter. Arniel is the leader... He needs to stay focused on getting the win. You aren't winning that argument. Grow up, stop arguing like a minor hockey parent and move on.

Such a dumb move by DeMelo.

He knows better... Take a number and punch him in the face after the goal. Just ridiculous. Your team needs a win and you cost them.... Grow up.

Also, WTF Arniel.... Toews needs to be on the ice to take that draw. I was screening at the TV. Winning draws is all he does!

Nyquist on PP1 should work. That's where he's done damage before on other teams. Perfetti back to PP2 hopefully sparks him too. 91 was good there last year. #GoJetsGo

I don't see the fit for Bellinger with the #Mets either... If it's going to be a 5 yr deal, keeping Pete would have been my preference but I trust there's a plan.
