In the same space as Event Horizon, this is an outstanding story. Get it for the cover art, keep it for the near-Lovecraftian horror

#comicsky #humor #crime #comicanthology

For the cover of this caper-filled anthology, a group of anthropomorphized suspects looks on as a canine Columbo takes notes. By no means should we pay attention to the oh-so-guilty-looking feline on the right. I'm sure that's nothing.

A twofer… Going from The Gray Man, straight into The Fall Guy

Gotta say, both are, in their own unique way, perfect movies.

The Fall Guy, featuring the ridiculous chemistry between Emily Blunt & Ryan Gosling, some amazing stunts (including one Guinness Record breaking car roll), & a very good dog named Jean Claude

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

"It’s not the journalists’ burden to keep the government’s secrets for it," @seth-stern.bsky.social told @columjournreview.bsky.social. "That is the opposite of the press’s job, which is to tell the public what the government doesn’t want the public told."

Too bad they furloughed or fired all the workers who could remove it.

Image of an X post from @PenguinSix
(Andrew Leyden) stating, "The statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein has returned to the National Mall today." The post includes three photos: the first shows a statue of two figures in front of the U.S. Capitol, the second depicts a large banner with "FIRST" and the same statues in front of a building with an American flag, and the third shows the statues again with people and cars nearby on the National Mall.

I think I would go so far as to say this is a “perfect movie”. Not that it’s objectively without fault, but that it’s very much aware of what it needs to be & do, and does it admirably

Gosling is spot on

Evans is despicable

No miscasting, no wasted time, just a great action flick
