Assorted Crisis Events 8, our interactive newsprint issue, sold out and is getting a 2nd print! I can't thank everyone enough!
I know a lot of people didn't get one that wanted one, so PLEASE let your shop know ASAP!
Here is the (slightly different) 2nd print cover!

This has been an acclaimed series for almost a year with each stand alone issue sparking conversation. For me issue 6 was so moving. The reality is that far in, stores think they know the quantity to carry. Preordering helps us make accurate purchase orders (usually higher). Doesn’t that sound good?
Absolute Batman 16 is a point of growth for the character. Here he takes on a quest with Wonder Woman into an impossible environment & he rolls with it. Handles it. We learn that he is adaptable to situations. This Batman can go into space or fight ghosts or do whatever. He'll figure it out.
The new Iron Man series is immediately off to a great start. Madame Masque has been appearing a lot in random places, but here she is someone know knows Tony Stark and is a key figure in a major plot using his origin against him to create something dangerous. The Carnero art looks great too!
For all the Wednesday warriors, Tony Stark fans, or brand new readers, it's key that you jump in the IRON MAN train this Wednesday!
Here's your reminder to pick up issue #1 from me and @carmencarnero.bsky.social TOMORROW at your comic book store!
We lost Sal Buscema, one of the last of an era. When I was well into Marvel & knew what I liked in the late 80s, Spectacular Spiderman was my favorite of the three ongoing series at that time specifically because of his art. Somehow I never met him. I wrote a thing in the newsletter today though.
Back in the best days of Youtube this random commercial brought me a lot of joy. Apparently Sammy Stephens had a stroke this weekend, but he's doing alright. Give him a follow on Instagram under realsammystephens & send some well wishes into his DMs.
One of my favorite comic book covers.
We chat with Daniel Warren Johnson about Absolute Batman Annual #1 and why it was one of his most brutal comics to make: www.comicbookcouplescounseling.com/post/daniel-...
Queue it up and listen during your commute!
Your local comic shop is open Wednesday and would love to see you in! You want your new releases with you for the holiday & your LCS would love to do a Wednesday/Thursday business in one day to not miss a beat. But ahead of that let’s see what we can see in this stack!
I wasn't into the Thor Lord of Asgard era at all & the Magni character means nothing to me, until Mortal Thor 4! What a truly surprising issue. It sets up to do the usual, but does something new. There's no such thing as a bad character, In the right hands any concept can become interesting!
I give you 1984’s UFO Kidnapped. A Canadian sci-fi feature presented on Nickelodeon starring Alasdair Gillis as Alasdair (also Alasdair on You Can’t Do That on Television). This may be where my aversion for UFOs, Alien life, etc comes from. It’s only 40 minutes but watch at your own risk.
I watched this sci-fi “movie” on Nickelodeon back in 1984, but had no idea what it was called. I remembered the end but not the name. @kennethwreid.bsky.social immediately knew the name & today I thought I would watch. I was NOT ready for how creepy this was. Does anyone else remember UFO Kidnapped?
However, when it comes to comics, I interact with a lot of 20-somethings who heard a guy explain it online so they’re good. There’s nuance & interpretation with comics so for me it’s no substitute. They can see me physically deflate. Take the next step & experience for yourself! You’ll be glad!
I can’t tell you what an amazing issue this is. @kellythompson.bsky.social and @cleanlined.bsky.social knocked it out of the park.
ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN 15 - out in December.
One of the best series in comics hands down.
If you weren’t already on Absolute Wonder Woman, you soon will be.
Get caught up on previous issues now before everyone else tries to do the same!

When the world drags you down, art can lift your spirits
For the weekend feed!
SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!
Very cool news coming out of Greensboro NC aka Comic Book City USA! @comicsbeat.bsky.social @graphicpolicy.com @bleedingcool.com
It took about three issues, but I have really warmed up to Absolute Flash. I like this Wally and the world around him. Based on what I saw in issue 9, I think this title is about to do something important that none of the other series will get into. This is the science series!
Reading Batman Deadpool after the latest Off Panel Podcast from @davidharper.bsky.social with Grant Morrison as the guest was a great combo. Morrison has a lot of fun which means I had a lot of fun and so will you! Check out both!
Dreadnok War in G.I. Joe is a lot of fun, but that was as bad of a hit as I've seen recently towards the end of the issue. No clue how that will play out. Could be Rock N' Roll all over again. Don't forget that this along with Transformers & Void Rivals makes up your complete Energon Universe diet!
Having new Powers issues in 2025 means a lot to me & I know its the same for others. I'm glad to be able to introduce this to new people as well as that first graphic novel too. Powers 25 issue 3 introduces us all to a very cool new character. @brianmbendis.bsky.social & @oeming.bsky.social are back
One World Under Doom ended & I need to re-read the whole thing. Doctor Doom is an important character to me since discovering him. Unfortunately, there's a critical point that I literally can't read due to the font/coloring. Neither could someone else. Also, there's an "after ads" scene to not miss!
BTS- bagley finished his pencils on Avengers 800. they are perfect bagley. I was even a bit verklempt as I polished the dialogue to reflect his choices. for those who were asking, this is a GREAT experience.
Star Trek Last Starship 2 got my attention. In the furthest future Starfleet has been nearly destroyed in the wake of The Burn from Discovery. A vessel with unconventional tech heeds the call to route the Klingons. Someone who may or may not be James Kirk is aboard. He doesn't know either!
Spider-man finds himself alone for the holidays & the heroes of the Marvel Universe can't have that so he spends quality time with the Fantastic Four, Avengers, X-men, even Daredevil. A much needed fun read from @rainbowrowell.bsky.social. Pick up the Holiday Special for yourself or someone else!
