Kaelan is quickly becoming the Ken of Australian Survivor.

I mean this officially fits the bill for breakfast in my book...🤷🏻‍♂️🍨 🥞 ☕

My immediate post-game destination

Joëlle Jones, Ladykiller 3

The legendary John Romita Sr.

This Guillem March variant for Absolute Martian Manhunter #1 makes my head hurt in a good way.

Sooooo.... THIS will be my screensaver til May.

As if the horrors of the original versions of these tales weren't already seared into my brain. 🫣😬

The only thing that could save the Chiefs now is if Rashee comes out on the field in his Lambo.

There's a fine line between comedy and tragedy. 🥚🍳😥

Delays on this series slowed the momentum but I was always happy to see it in my reading stack. Hopefully someday we'll get the further adventures of Ione & Co. down the line.

DC trolling all the Jon Kent purists in Shazam this week.

Our first Legion sighting since we saw the Absolute Legion pop up in DC All-In Special 1? 🤔 #LLL Green Lantern 19

Dynamite Comics released 52(!!) covers for their Silverhawks 1 launch and 20 percent of them are from Mark Spears. Houston, we have a problem.

Lotta fun; audience responded well. Avoid spoilers!

As I'm still not sure how to engage over here and not sure what will or won't stick, just a reminder you can find me over on IG where there's a whole lot more comic book content for you to peruse.

They can't ALL be Gen 13. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Wonder if @seanmckeever.com checked out the latest issue of Sentinels out today where an old friend popped up. 🤔

The miracle of Christmas

Sorting my New Teen Titans run and remember this page turn hitting like the one in Alpha Flight 12. 🗡️ 😮

Boy's best friend.

Everybody keeps going on about the dog but I'm 'bout to do a Mrs. Maisel rewatch. 🤨👀 Superman 13, Adam Hughes variant

Each year I track down a book series or author collection that was a seminal part of my youth. When at all possible (and when necessary as some are out of print), I'll try to get the same editions from when I would have read them. Pickups from prior years include Bellairs, Hildick and Raskin. 1/2

Whenever I'm traveling I'm always on the lookout for street art that jumps out of me. 1/3

I still get a thrill every time I come across one of these Kurtzman Mad magazine covers.

Credit to DC for the show of faith in putting out a Poison Ivy book that just hit 28 issues- no small feat in today's volatile marketplace. The fact that over 20 of those issues have had the same creative team- G. Willow Wilson & Marcio Takara with the occasional guest artist can't have hurt either

I'm not surprised as I've enjoyed Brombal's work on Black Hammer books as well as House of Slaughter but these first 2 issues of Batgirl exceeded even those expectations. Miyazawa on art and Spicer on colors doesn't hurt either. 🤷🏻‍♂️ If there were any holdouts who were still pining for her 1st, go now.

I was thinking that I would want an oversize black and white edition of Michael Walsh's Frankenstein for my coffee table but then realized I'd be deprived of Toni Marie Griffin's inspired coloring throughout.

The Paul Dini Detective run hit next level with some of these Nguyen issues. I love Batman's expression looking at us amongst the madness.

I remember being relatively more miss than hit on this run but kept collecting because of the Bolland covers. This one in particular still gives me nightmares.

Introducing...Panda Khan. 🐼

Guess every DC comic will now have to include a variation on this panel in every book. 🤔
