REMINDER:

Just sold out at my shop, about to reorder!

Look, I'm not ashamed to admit that I find the Beetle's long purple tube finger things to be upsetting.

"But the movie is breaking even this week!" The movie has to hit about $500 million at *least* before it breaks even, what are you even talking about. Anyway, muted the movie thread, so I'm not ignoring any of you on purpose, except the people I'm purposefully ignoring.

As the new Captain America movie slowly crawls toward almost breaking even, I'm guessing that it just plain costs too much to make superhero movies for them to be profitable now, at least in most cases, and at this scale.

Have we never had a Dick Tracy/Batman crossover? Just imagine those rogues galleries teaming up. "THE CLAYFACE/PRUNEFACE CRIMES" "THE FLATTOP/MAD HATTER WAR"

Beginning to think that, while they're good on just about everything else, Lunar doesn't know how to handle the Comic Shop News bundles. This is the third time they've shorted me on my order since I switched over to getting CSNs from them.

Finally, the SWAMP THING VS. MAN-THING comic we've been waiting for.

It was "Customer Appreciation Day" at my bank today, so I said "okay, give me all your money" and that's why I'm posting this from jail. ... Fine, not really, but I did get a mini cupcake, a cookie, a coaster, and a Starbucks giftcard, which, well, I've never been to Starbucks.

After some very careful consideration, I have decided to NOT be on the side that's comfortable with happily doing Nazi salutes.

Hey, I got me a copy of TIME BEAVERS, and I say a few words about DC's latest funnybook announcements: www.progressiveruin.com/2025/02/21/t...
