Every time "Otisburg" comes up in a conversation, I should reply to this message.

also Tron: Legacy fucking sucked

This isn't rocket science, Hollywood. When you make movies for Gen Z & Alpha, they pay to see them. FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S opened to $80M WITH a day & date streaming release on Peacock. When you make movies for their dads, those dads have a choice between the theater or their bitchin' home theater.

I'm perplexed at watching pundits in the trades struggling to explain Tron Ares' disappointing opening.

Was it covid? Do people just not like science fiction? etc. etc.

The main reason is pretty obvious: Tron isn't a popular franchise. Nobody's interested in nostalgia for a failed 1980s project.

Ok, if he's a mole sent in to take down Marvel from the inside and set up DC winning Secret Crisis, I'm ok with it.

They haven't announced the specific creative teams yet, I don't think.

Barbara Gordon: Breakout is an interesting one. Had brief conversations with reps at DC about the name of a Babs- specific series, and this name never came up. Maybe more plot-driven title than character?

And we have the second-ever 13-inning winner-take-all playoff game - which means, the best one, since that Rockies-Cubs one was a mess.

Alex Speier @alexspeier.bsky.social · 18h

4th winner-take-all postseason game of 12+ innings. The others:

2018 Rockies-Cubs WC (13)
2014 Royals-A’s WC (12)
1924 Senators-Giants WS G7 (12)

Carpenter joins Kenny Lofton (1995) and Stan Hack (1945) as the only players ever to reach base 6+ times in a playoff game.

Yeah, it's weird. Lots of products have been on back order for months...

If we're still looking for an "Age" name for recent comics, have we discussed Multiverse Age? From the Spider-Verse and New 52, influence from MCU, Fortnite, Funko...

NO, is there?

Just waiting patiently for Secret Crisis in 2030.

Neither; availability. We haven't been able to restock the Ultra Pro one for a long time, it's been out of stock. Checking their site, it looks like they're clearancing them out.

end of an era, switching over to bcw comic book tall dividers from ultra pro comic dividers, which we've been using for like 30 years and are 1/4th on an inch shorter, so my ocd is going to go into overdrive for the next few decades until I can replace all these tags
