In 2025 I'm going to use the 'shake' feature of the CLZ app to pull a random comic out of my print collection and share one comic every day for the entire year (or whenever I remember, and catch up).
I have some odd stuff in here, it'll be interesting what it spits out.
#comics #clzshake

My Comic Collection corner, it looks a bit disheveled, but I assure you, I know where most everything is filed. Mostly.

As an old Magic head I tend to care for Urzas and the Weatherlight blorbos, but actively stopped caring when the Jaces started showing up. From an outsider looking in Magic looks a lot like Fortnite right now. But I’ve always really more cared about the game’s mechanics and play more anyway.

This is a crossover that shouldn't work but is so damn hilarious! Archie teams up with Sabrina's cat while Betty and Veronica like being villains with Reggie. Jughead gets Shiteater fired because of the burgers he ate and ends up joining Josie and the Pussycats. Next issue in Riverdale looks crazy!

Nothing is more exciting when I develop some random fixation than finding a good, old fashioned, BLOG that someone wrote over a decade ago.

I wanted to learn more about the Disney Comics Implosion in the 90s and I've been reading entries on the same blog for an hour.

The internet used to be good!

Marvel employees were asked whether the 'WONDER MAN' poster for the in-universe movie was created using Al.
"Its artwork made by artists but touched up by Al," which was clarified with "so, really Al-assisted Photoshop work," and the response was "yes."

Hell yeah. Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees was easily my favorite comic of last year, and its sequel is so far in my top 2 for this year. Incredible comic and talent.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Really wish Dragon had butterfly shoulder joints for big haymaker poses. The render doesn't make it look like he has them.

it's so weird to me how right wingers are like "the left LOVES soros" and I've literally never heard anyone on the left even talk about the guy. like he's not even some kind of minor celebrity. no one seems to give a shit about the guy except the right wing.

Fathom 02 (Comico - Apr 1993)

Writer: Dave De Vries
Artists: Tim Eldred/Philip Moy

When I got into collecting print comics again a few years ago, picking up a complete run of Elementals became a priority. And I've very nearly done it, I'm just missing one issue of this spin-off title.
