β€œPeter Porkchops is DC’s Hellcat” is a sentence only @joshualapinbertone.bsky.social and I would understand

To be clear…the brain damage was established in the Bronze Age, but I’m looking for it being cited as the root as his personailty shift

Inside the secret origin of Marvel's Spider-Boy with Dan Slott ahead of his new comic book series "I want to do this book forever”: Dan Slott dishes on the new Spider-Boy title.

Hi Dan,
We've spoken a few times (see linked article), and I would love to chat you for an article about the "ASM Brain Trust/using the tv writers room format for a comic book." What's the best way to get in contact? (or you can email bertonebeatle@gmail.com) www.thepopverse.com/spider-boy-d...

I thought about that, but it didn’t seem to have a connection beyond the term.
Pocket Universe Supergirl is still my favorite one.

Rounding Up the Easter Eggs in β€œSuperman” | DC Look up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s a ton of deep cut comic book references!

@joshualapinbertone.bsky.social and I are rating Supermans based on how likely they were to have dated a mermaid in college. Corenswet may be the most likely in the live action category

I see so many people say variations of β€œGuy Gardner became mean after is coma because of brain damage,” but like…where was that established? What issue? I know about the JLI joke about Batman punching him and him becoming nice until he got hit again, but that’s a diff thing.

As a children’s caregiver, Disney’s Elio comes through for foster families in the same way the live-action Lilo & Stitch failed to Pixar's Elio and Disney's live-action Lilo & Stitch have the same plot, but different answers (and problems) for foster kids and their families

I wrote about how Elio comes through for foster families, while Lilo & Sitch failed. www.thepopverse.com/movies-disne...

I can’t believe the HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON remake ends with Hicup putting Toothless into foster care.

. @alexjaffe.bsky.social and I are in a DC group chat where I once worked out how every version of Julie Madison across multiple continuities (the princess, the actress, the social worker) could all be the same person in a very interesting biography.

Kidsongs Season 2 intro
Kidsongs Season 2 intro YouTube video by Jeffrey Long

This premise of this intro sequence is simple enough, but then it gets WEIRD around 0:51 in. It’s like midway through the song the executives said, β€œWe need something more high concept.”
