I say this as someone who is pretty lenient with standards : this was an AWFUL comic.

The covers were GORGEOUS.

The art and story felt rushed; it was like witnessing someone try to make a patchwork quilt out of items like silk, wet paper towels , and pieces of washcloth. #comics #comicsky

I fear I've fallen in love with the Mark Brooks animated-style covers.

Absolute Carnage is one of my favorite comic book runs.

I picked up this cover at #NYCC last year and I am hoping to fill in some of the missing issue gaps I have in my collection.

Another one of my older comic boxes fell apart and spilled out a bunch of comics. Some of you know of the Great Comic Avalanche of 2024 so this triggered me a bit 😅 I sorted through the spilled comics and saw I had two copies of the Obama and Romney Wins issues from 2012. What a time to be alive...

Found this as I was cleaning up the Comic Avalanche of 2025 😭 I don’t remember ever reading this but I’m willing to bet I bought it because of Kirkman. CGC it is.

This cover really does something to me!! I was so happy to snag it on EBay because I couldn’t find it anywhere 🥲

Spotify recommended something called a “ day list “ to me which is a playlist of tracks that match the mood for that day- afternoon-night. I’ve barely listened to my own playlist since lol

I was not expecting Psalms 23 to be so terrifying.

#TheNewGods is kind of growing on me, but if it wasn't for the breath-taking art, I would have given up on it first issue. For a story that clearly has a lot of love thrown into the visual aspects, it annoys me how awful the onboarding is for new comers. Love the variants though! #comics #dccomics

I received this Amaryllis on February 16th and I kind of just left it in the window. I was not expecting anything like this! It’s my first time having one of these beauties🥰 I changed its pot and the last pic it looks soooo happy ❤️

This design for Mr. Terrific is much, MUCH better and should they make a movie, I hope this design is used because I’m sure it will translate better on screen.

Re: The New Captain Planet

The First cover is my favorite. It’s the most aesthetically pleasing and Captain P’s redesign is not as jarring .

Second one, I’m okay with it. It will be my reading copy .

Third, makes Captain P look like he has big hips.

Iron Man # 4 - As always, magnificent art but story wise… you know those parts in a movie where it’s safe for you to go to the bathroom because nothing important is happening?

This is one of those issues.

Day 4 of #28DaysofBlackComics (I’m catching up lol) : Kid Flash! I was catching up on Flash a few weeks ago and I realized there was a Black Kid Flash! I must’ve overlooked him while I was on a comic book hiatus 😭 #Comics #comicsky #DCComics

I picked up this Ororo: Before the Storm set at #NYCC2024 and I finally have time to read them. I was drawn to this series because it focuses on the early adventures of Ororo as an orphan in Egypt, before she became the Omega-level legend she is now!

I couldn’t post for the last two days so here is Day 3 of #28DaysofBlackComics, starring : NUBIA! As a kid, I wanted to be WW so bad, but another child told me I couldn’t be WW because I’m Black. I learned about Nubia as a teen and I’ve been mentally doing 😛 since 🤣 #DCComics #comicsky #comics

Day 2 of celebrating Black History Month with Black comic book characters: BLACK MANTA!

I very rarely read anything Aquaman, but when I do, it’s when Black Manta wants Arthur dead . #DCComics #comics #BHM
