Page 4 of Avengers #6 (from 1964) scanned from Jack Kirby and Chic Stone's original art; as printed in the original comic; as it appears in the version of the issue on Marvel Unlimited; and as it appears in Avengers Classic #6 on Marvel Unlimited.

Hi, would it be possible to trade my brain in for a more functional model? It was working pretty well for a while but now all it does is sing “hot singles in your area” to the tune of Offenbach’s “Can-Can.”

I am ludicrously proud of Judge Dredd: Mega-City Two. There's some stuff in there that still cracks me up every time I see it, like this musical number (whose melody is revealed in the alt text here):

this is magnificent

This has finally been announced, so I can wave the flag for it! I had the honor of writing the liner notes for a super-expanded, "Pet Sounds Sessions"-style reissue of Ida's absolutely exquisite album "Will You Find Me." numerogroup.com/products/wil...

(Spent a little while attempting to construct a joke about monoculture and "The Legend of the Red Lantern," realized that the Venn-diagram intersection of people who would potentially find it funny was possibly sitting on this couch)

I occasionally get a song from Wire's album Pink Flag stuck in my head, and then it just keeps on rolling through the rest of the album. This is what started it going tonight: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QCk...

Clearly we need to rework our strategy: if we want these kids banished, we need to find old social media posts that reveal that they "volunteered at a soup kitchen once" or "sometimes don't kick their dog."

"Into the Groove," "Ray of Light," "Rescue Me," "Frozen," "Secret."

almost every Dark Horse book I've seen in the last 5 years that I thought "oh I'd have loved to have run that" has been a @penzerker.bsky.social one—comics companies have a chance to pick up a real rising editorial talent here

I am so excited to see this!

“Infirmities of a constitutional magnitude” is my new favorite phrase: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

(I love you very much but if over half your posts are own-goal kicks I'm going to have to mute you.)

If you need a timeline cleanse, go to 1:45 in this video and watch Beth Howland being superhuman. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuQe...

I observe with some delight that Judge McConnell's ruling cites Brett Kavanaugh citing William Rehnquist: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Tom Scioli's "Godzilla's Monsterpiece Theatre" has been giving me lots of delight over the last few months, but I actually did a spit-take at this bit:

There was a moment early in the '70s when DC went after the gothic romance/"Dark Shadows" paperbacks/"women running from houses" aesthetic pretty intensely.

I'll play too: my #comicsdna, at least the first to surface in my brain today!

R.I.P. Jules Feiffer. Here's my favorite strip by him.

Some of the odder comics I picked up this morning.

Found this in a box of books I acquired long ago. Thought: huh, why would I have this? Turns out it’s the first book containing a Flannery O’Connor story!

By @mattielubchansky.com I believe.

This is the day when we listen to Dog Faced Hermans, the greatest live band I've seen. Specifically, this song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_acE...

One of the many things I love about this comic: how tightly compressed its stories can be, as with the terrific little six-pager here.

oh my god I just realized that Latveria has its own (and obviously superior) social network, Doomscroll relatedly, Voice of Latveria will return in 2025

Metamorpho #1, by @stevelieberart.bsky.social and @al-ewing.bsky.social, is playful and frothy and basically everything I wanted it to be. Extra points for Ferran Delgado's lettering, in the mode of Stan Starkman--deep cut! #wereadscomics
