Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees - small town serial killer story set in a richard scarry-esque world of anthropomorphic fuzzy animals. Interesting concept, well executed, solid 6 issues.

Alan Moore's run on Saga of the Swamp Thing - Continuing the read-along to Shelved By Genre's Moore Unit, this is an all-timer run and maybe a perfect model for reinventing an older character - mature, political in ways that have aged but not as much as you might think, gorgeous art. Loved it.

it is so impressive to me that the Swamp Thing team just randomly made one of the best Batman stories in the middle of an all-timer run of a different character

finally got around to finishing Kamen Rider Gavv - one of my favourite KR series, Gavv's got it's issues, especially in the second half where it loses a bit of focus, but the action's fantastic and it has my favourite main cast since Build.
Really fun show, would rec to anyone interested in Toku.

One Battle After Another - my favourite Di Caprio performance in a long time, an insanely maniacal Sean Penn performance and some masterful fucking direction from Anderson, just got out of this but I'm willing to call it a movie of the year contender. Goddamn.

A Contract with God and Other Tenement Stories (1978) - The first 'graphic novel', this is a really interesting collection of short stories based around a tenement building in 1930s New York.
Excellent stuff, if not quite as big a landmark as it was.

catch up time - Claudine (1978) - one of the earliest trans-focused manga, Claudine is really fucking good Shojo Tragedy but with a really well-executed and respected explicitly trans-masc protagonist. Worth going out of my way for IMO.

i don't mean to single out baseball fans here, because you see this in lots of fan communities, but in certain corners people talk as though baseball is real. they think all the players are real people and the stadiums are places you can actually visit. to each their own, but that cannot be healthy

To Be Hero X - probably the most original, interesting and visually stunning non-comics superhero media I've seen since Spider-Verse, a fucking animation tour de force, especially in it's last couple eps.
To say much would spoil it, but it's excellent stuff.

i think if I ever run Blades in the Dark I'm gonna try and steal Triangle Agency's thing of having players play each other's important NPCs. Not all of them but at least one

it probably says something about me that my immediate knee-jerk reaction to 'is it possible to play a game wrong' was 'yeah of course' rather than no.
there is a weird overlap in wrestling and RPGs of fans who only came in with the recent boom not really getting that this isn't how it always was.
