I may have to give Marvel Comics” “Eternals” another try. I liked the series, but I may have a new appreciation for it years later.

I've got a little Wonder Woman parody in this MAD special, with art by @joequinones.bsky.social and it has been SO HARD keeping it a secret until now!
🤡📚 DC is getting roasted.
MAD About DC lands April 1, 2026, with Chip Zdarsky as guest editor and an all-star lineup skewering the entire DC Universe in true MAD fashion. This is not a prank… probably. #comicbooks #MadMagazine #comicsky
Details:
DC hands the keys to MAD, and lets Chip Zdarsky roast the entire universe
On April 1, DC lets MAD off the leash, and the DC Universe may never recover.

The way I love this. The perfect responses to random questions.
I upset someone at the supermarket today:

"Yo! Who do you think will win?"

"What?"

"The game!"

"What game?"

"The playoffs!!!"

"What sport?"

He was done with me at that point....

“Cereno is telling deep tales, while artist E.J. Su creates striking, yet gorgeous characters. Plus, Benito Cereno is keeping things interesting by giving readers just enough to keep certain parts of the story a mystery.”

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.
