Metamorpho #6 was an absolute blast. Thanks to @al-ewing.bsky.social and @stevelieberart.bsky.social for the wild ride while it lasted. Hopefully we'll get more fab freak fun in the near future.

I forgot that Marie Severin drew a Batman parody written by @tytempleton.bsky.social for Batman Black and White Volume Two.

Imagine if Andrew Garfield had faced off against this version of the Lizard in the 2012 Amazing Spider-Man movie.

I love @mitchoconnellart.bsky.social's wraparound cover art to CBA #19 featuring all the Harvey Comics characters partying.

I know I've seen Grant Morrison's sketches for other works before but I always forget what a talented artist they are. I love these early Doom Patrol designs (from the omnibus extras in a section titled "Doom Patrol Prepping").

Mail call! A decent copy of The Scorpion #1 by Howard Chaykin.

An unfortunate printing error in the Thor Artisan Edition duplicates (and slightly cuts off the tops of) pages 6-7 from issue #339 where pages 6-7 of #338 should be.

Might be time for me to try the Weil Belt, if only to silence the mocking laughter of children.

Pretty progressive for an ad in 1935.

A clever inside baseball joke by Alan Moore in Youngblood #2, and one that went completely over my head the first time I read this comic.

This weekend I learned that there were post-Alan Moore Supreme comics by Erik Larsen, including the first issue (restarting the numbering at #63) based on Moore's original script but not published until 2012, twelve years after Supreme: The Return #6 came out.

Some more old DC TPBs I found hidden away, starting appropriately enough with Moore.

So I wasn't imagining it when I thought I had an old copy of the Ronin TPB.

At the end of Supreme: The Return #4 there's a next issue preview & at the bottom there's a strip that repeats the same 4 main images as tiny thumbnails. One image is duplicated in an even smaller version for some reason, and the arrangement is reflected in reverse order on the facing page. Why?
