Very sad learning of the passing of Peter David. Whenever you saw his name on a book, be it comic or prose, you knew you were in for a good time.
I remember geeking out so hard meeting him at DragonCon 2006 (while his daughter hid under the table).
Deepest condolences to his friends and family. -J

Really was the craziest damn day. Earlier that morning we’d been RTed by @therealelvira.bsky.social, which I’m pretty sure is how all this started.

So we have been fairly vocal about our dislike of the MARVEL ZOMBIES various titles. Do any of you guys really love them?

Found him. I found “hot” Annihilus.
Spoilers for a mini-series from 2001, I guess.
Annihilus in his Ahmyor form. …and Blink’s butt.
