Kathleen DAvid is up to accept the HoF award for Peter David, "Peter is now a ghost writer," she says"He meant a lot to comics in general and he was proud of what he did. He was proud of the fact that his was a voice that could shout and be heard - not always agreed with but at least heard." #nycc

I hear your objections to this but the whole idea is to do the goofiest, wildest thing possible. And including both Annabelle and Samantha from IDW’s Beneath the Trees show they’re having fun. Comics can be fun! It’s okay to have fun!

Not a hoax, not an imaginary story: Homelander from The Boys, Annabelle from The Conjuring and more are joining DC K.O. as part of a bonus level.

‘DC K.O.’ Welcomes Homelander From ‘The Boys’, Annabelle From ‘The Conjuring’ And More

Since today is a big Swamp Thing day, I can’t let it pass without sharing my favorite piece of trivia. In the 80’s and early 90’s, the character was popular enough to have two movies, a multi-season show and a cartoon. That cartoon’s theme was a ripoff of “Wild Thing” youtu.be/3H5zXh6MVvg?...

I've only just encountered this intolerable perversion in the last three weeks. I can only assume we're experiencing some kind of demented Psy-op or something.

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 1d

Here’s a primer on ‘primer.’

It’s pronounced ‘PRIMM-er’ if you mean “a small book” or “a short informative piece of writing.”

It’s pronounced ‘PRY-mer’ if you mean “an initial coat of paint.”

Somehow the legendary Karen Berger (@karenpberger.bsky.social) has fewer than 1000 followers here. This must be corrected. You know what to do, comics folks.

Karen Berger currently only has 982 followers on Bluesky. What in the WORLD.
