If I may be petty for a moment: Every time someone writes about or discovers how terrible Mark Millar is, a New Warrior smiles. This is what happens when you kill off the New Warriors to prop up your feeble copy of a premise for your cheap stunt event.

My favorite part of Andor so far: in season 1 episode 3, it looks like there is a stairs droid so people can get off some kind of commuter shuttle. A stairs droid!

globalfreedomofexpression.columbia.edu/updates/2025... CARTOONISTS RIGHTS urges all editorial and political cartoonists—wherever you are—to take part in this vital survey.

DC/Marvel crossovers used to lead to a lot of fan discussion about how to handle characters from different universes coming together. (In case you didn't hear, there will be a pair of crossover one-shots later this year with another set to follow in 2026. Full story at the link.)
