I’m more than halfway through this one and it’s really good. Love the issues w/one, nice, long, epic story.

They did it! They really did it.
They finally made a really good #FantasticFour movie that’s not called #TheIncredibles. 👍👍
(I highly recommend the IMAX 3-D.)

I found this in a Jonah Hex issue from July 1980. Don’t think I’ve ever seen it OR heard you talk about it.
Cracks me up that they were so gung-ho to get the word out that they put together an ad without one single speck of official art from the actual project. Crazy. 😄

You don’t have to be a #FNAF fan to enjoy these delicious salmon bites. We tried this recipe for dinner tonight and it was most delightful.
We just made yellow rice and a salad to go with it, but the bites and the sauce were a HOMERUN.

I’m all caught up on #MarkSpearsMonsters, and I’m honestly enjoying it more and more with each new issue.
It’s just the kind of thing to warm a true ‘70s monster kid’s heart.
Bravo, Mr. Spears!

This @DarkHorseComics TPB already holds special sentimental value for me, because after I bought it in 2007, I promptly took it w/me to read it in Hawaii.
(Pre kids… good times.)
🌴😋
Anyway, I forgot just how damned enjoyable that initial AVP storyline is.
Absolutely superb.

After reading the entirety of Marvel’s 1980s #KingConan series (which I absolutely loved!), I’m enjoying a palate cleanser by reading some @DarkHorseComics minis I picked up but never got around to. So far I’m having a lot of fun with these.
(And I have a couple more to go.)

I finally got around to reading this fun #Predator mini from Dark Horse (1989). As much as I enjoyed the story and the writing, I really, really, really enjoyed Chris Warner’s art.
If anyone has any other super fun Chris Warner books they can recommend, please let me know.

This issue was absolutely nuts & quite dark. Not at all what I was expecting.
After 21 issues of epic, empiric war, a new creative team takes the book back in time (circa issue #28) to pick up some dangling plot threads.
Very enjoyable.
Sadly, only 5 issues left.

The FF vs. the FF always made for such a captivating visual.
It was the cover to 148 that 1st lured me into the world of The World’s Greatest Comic Magazine. 😃

Issue 11 was the 1st misstep art wise, w/neither a Buscema nor a Chan in sight, and Kupperberg looking mighty rough w/multiple inkers. But #12 is back in the saddle w/Frenz & Villamonte. And #13 brings us Silvestri (fresh off his Marvel debut w/Conan The Barbarian #135).

I’m 8+ issues into my full (re)read through of #KingConan (including the Conan Annuals that feature KC).
I finally scored the last issues I needed earlier this year, and I’m absolutely loving returning to this epic world. (I’ll be sad when the series switches to a shorter page count.)

I found this cover in the garbage at my LCS yesterday. I’m not even sure what I’m going to do with it, but I just couldn’t leave it there. 😄
