That's such an interesting stretch of the city.
Daredevil: A Cold Day in Hell is now out in hardcover so why not revisit what I wrote about it last December.

Hello Loneliness, I Think I’m Gonna Die: Bob Fosse’s Dance with the Five Stages of Grief in ALL THAT JAZZ

Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote: "The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."
Once again.
We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

Larry Hama was responsible for basically the whole foundation of the 80s "G.I. JOE" mythology between the original comics and a huge amount of the character work for the toy. Legendary dude. 👍
So sad to share that legendary colorist Tatjana Wood has passed away at the age of 99. Her pioneering painterly touch graced scores of DC & Vertigo series. She was truly one of a kind and a special friend. May her memory be a blessing.
Just Can't Get Enough
David Ellison's style is more beast mode than Depeche Mode as he snags properties he can devote to MAGA's personal Jesus, sexual violator Donald Trump. To hell with his and Bari Weiss's policy of "truth." I'm gonna turn off my TV and enjoy the silence.

I label DC as cowards from now until they publish a Complete Ambush Bug collection. Where is it, DC?

This classic Nancy is a reminder of how much swearing the strip used to feature. Newspaper owners didn't like it, but the strip was so popular they had no choice but to run it uncensored. It was a different time
It’s like back in the 70a when a human Ben Grimm had to wear a Thing costume.
And I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing.
Just a thing.

Here is my #manga writing over the last couple of years. Not as much as I would have hoped for so I have 2026 goals set for at least one piece of writing focusing on manga (and other Asian comics) per month this year.

Shinzo’s stories are just so full of compassion for all of the characters that it’s refreshing to read such a kind story.
Posted on Sho-Pro’s Twitter acct today:
“Shogakukan-Shueisha Productions will be terminating its publishing agreement with U.S. Marvel Comics
as of March 31, 2026.”

Really liked this piece. I think I’ve shared some of your frustration with the series so I haven’t really read the 2nd half of it yet, but now I’m looking forward to revisiting it.
