Batman's entire rogues gallery would plunge into existential despair if he said their soul lacks poetry

Telling a bad guy that his soul lacks poetry while you kick him in the face is the stuff of legends.

The golden age hero Mad Hatter swings from a chandelier and kicks a bad guy in the face while saying, “I do believe there’s no poetry in your soul!”

This photo hangs in my home. Making Season 2 of #Peacemaker has been the highlight of my creative life and it wouldn’t be that way with each of these folks who I truly love. Haven’t watched it? Watch it now on HBO Max.

Yep! I was thinking more in terms of a monthly than a mini (but hopefully Spider-Man 94 will become an ongoing).

It's a really fun horror anthology series. The twists dont hold up as well for a modern audience (though some are quite good) but the art is perfection.

House Of Mystery - Limited Collectors’ Edition 23 (Facsimile Edition) cover by Nick Cardy. Out this week. Every page is a joy to read and look at. A murderer’s row of talent: Adams, Wrightson, Gil Kane, Toth, Wood, Aragonés, Sparling. All printed at Treasury size. Gorgeous!

A doorway opens with a beckoning hand and two evil red eyes peering out of the darkness, inviting some frightened trick-or-treaters into the House of Mystery.

It's an interesting scenario because Hickman (rightly) didnt want to get burned again on a story concept with a beginning, middle and end, which probably wouldn't be as huge a deal buuuuuut it's the only line with a married Pete/MJ and it's of a consistently higher quality than 616.

This is obviously a big marketing gimmick so Marvel can relaunch the whole line with #1s and ride that wave again but going "See the one thing you guys actually like and are emotionally invested in? Yeah, we're ending it" is such a funny way to try and sell it

so far the biggest complaint about peacemaker s2's finale is not enough cameos and not enough action and that signifies to me that the show did its job well

There's an alternate universe out there where Super Mario Bros 2 hit it big and became the template for every sequel

The Last Starfighter, man I absolutely adored that movie! Robert Preston's Centauri was a blast. There were efforts for a sequel featuring Alex and Maggie as parents returning to earth with their children but it never happened.

But most importantly, the deepening of the Kraven/Chameleon connection is a superbly executed retcon.

George Pérez's sense of design was extraordinary; he could juggle figures, faces and shapes with ease, creating page designs like no other cartoonist. 2/2
