Reread "Scarlet", by Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev

That's Bendis's angriest comic, and it's seething with righteous resentment

Bendis has always made his stories about unfairness. Unfairness in the world, unfairness in a systemic and personal level. "Scarlet" is his most direct attack at it

In poker terms he's a 'maniac' who thinks he's a fucking 'eagle'. We're all the bloody chips.

"Fire" was fine
"Goldfish" was pretty good

But "Jinx"...

"Jinx" is the first Bendis masterpiece

Incredible tome. Hefty, complex, daring. Just incredible storytelling. I understand why he would name his independent label "Jinxworld"

Proto Jessica Jones even, a true crime masterpiece

What's the first comic book that made you fall in love with superheroes?
#comicsky

(I can't quite remember which came first, but I think those were the first times I began to see the potential of the superhero to tell stories about heightened and potentialized human feelings. Also, Superman!)

Since I never see anyone talking about it, that classifies as an underrated series in my book

Reread "The Red Wing" by Jonathan Hickman, Nick Pitarra and Rachelle Rosenberg

It's fantastic. Maybe my favorite of the Hickman Image 4-parters. Poignant and efficient, perfectly tailored for its space

An archetypical tale with a time shenanigans twist about consequences in Hickman stories

Reread "Transhuman", by Jonathan Hickman and JM Ringuet

Maybe because I read them a long time ago, I didn't remember these early Hickman stories being so mean. Deep dark humor, to the point of mean-spiritedness

With that said, it's classic Hickman, and it flows beautifully. Very compact.

Hot take: The Inhumans are real good if you lean all the way into the surrealism
Just reread one of the holy texts

This book has been on fire for a while and the fire burns forever here

Incredible tie-in. Incredible payoff for more threads. Really can't wait for Endgame #2

Avengers #34 (or #800 if you're feeling celebratory!) is shaping up to be an okay climax to a run that I felt showed more promise but is kind of inevitably having to close a very ambitious story in a very unambitious way

Maybe the shadow of Hickman is still too large, the resolution being very SW

I can’t believe my publisher has reposted this Incendiary yet true claim.

Some days, only Elliott Smith will calm my nerves

I'm never gonna know you now
But I'm gonna love you anyhow

Been thinking about "Resurrection of Magneto"

In a bolder world, I would have loved to see a follow-up to this conclusion, the idea of Magneto as a champion for "ALL WHO ARE HATED AND FEARED". In the days of Israel's ongoing genocide of Palestine, it would have been such a powerful theme to explore

I just want one gallery--a platform--that I don't have to be disgusted by. One that doesn't weigh me down with guilt when I want to engage with art. One that actually stuck by a desire to do no evil.
