Found out I’ll be traveling more this year than previous. Just a bit farther, crossing these state lines more frequently; TN, KY, GA, NC, SC, VA, WV

Looking forward to visiting a lot of new comic shops. And hoping I’ve got mutuals who can recommend the best places to stop at when the time comes!

Remember the end of Annihilation Scourge, when The Sentry obliterated Nova’s body after he had completely absorbed the Cancerverse and then all the heroes mourned him?

Except we then saw Annihilus rebuilt his form, bringing Rich back from the dead. Just sayin’ most of that’s not his original body.

The Silver Surfer and Annihilus stand over the body of Richard Rider Nova who sits up suddenly, astonished to find himself whole, much less alive.

You can really see Robertson coming into his own on the book with this storyline. He’s settled into the look of the characters and is in sync with Nicieza’s writing.

Lots of drive time this week, so listened to past episodes of “Come Out To Play”, a New Warriors Podcast on the Longbox Crusade network then reread Issue 32-34 & Annual 3. Shout out to hosts Delvin & Jarrod for helping me to stay awake behind the wheel.

All right, just turned in the last strips of my second year on FLASH GORDON. That's 730 installments in the bag -- appearing in a rough average of 1.5 panels per strip, I've drawn Flash about 1,095 times. Still takes me a couple tries to get his hair right. Tomorrow we start on year three ⚡

Flash Gordon and Prince Thun take on a squad of green-skinned Shark Men

And old man looks up at a mural of Flash Gordon crossing swords with Ming the Merciless.

Flash Gordon frees Edda from her locked helmet, and the mechanic can't help herself from laying a smooch on him.

Flash Gordon negotiates with Empress Aura. "Tch. Fine," she sneers, conciliating. "Savior of the Universe..."

He smiles back. "You love it."

Back in ye ol' Tumblr days, I was posting Art Adams art like it was my job. Eventually, he heard about it and he and Joyce started sending me commissions and other pieces he thought I might enjoy posting. I just found the folder. wow.

Ugh. I actually thought this might be a good sequel but this news is taking the wind out of my sails. The boy and I are supposed to watch the original Tron this weekend too.

Wait a minute… I’m one half of an older couple!!!!

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

I need some advice from those of you who build more stuff than I do. Fanhome says to use a "flexible, quick drying adhesive" to put these pieces of ET skin together. What would you use?

I liked Charlotte Jones. I miss Marvel Comics having regular people as supporting characters in their books.

Been putting off sorting and filing some of these comics and graphic novels, etc. far too long. Fun, but not. Oof.

Nope. Still drawing a blank.

My reading of Avengers post Kree-Skrull War is kind of spotty until just after Issue 150. That’s when I started collecting the title.
