Action Comics #1051-1052 A new run putting the whole Superman Family together. So far so good but not a must-read. Adventure Comics #323-324 Legion. Love it. Batgirls #1 Not sure if this is for me. Batman: One Bad Day - Bane Batman: One Bad Day - Catwoman Batman - One Bad Day - Clayface Batman - One Bad Day - Mr. Freeze Batman - One Bad Day - Penguin Batman - One Bad Day - The Riddler Batman - One Bad Day - Two-Face For the most part, excellent character studies. Bane and Catwoman are must-reads, as one deals with addiction and the other generational trauma. Batman / Superman: World's Finest #11-12 Still one of the best books at the moment. Black Science #1 A little too bleak for me. Might read more. The Brave and the Bold #184 Part of my Huntress reading. One of the best of the lot. Darkwing Duck #1 Fun, but I don’t need to continue. Detective Comics #934 No comment until I dig deeper into the run. Flash 19-31, Annual #3 (1987) LOVE these early Wally adventures, but I hate what they're doing with his mother. Justice Society of America #2 Hmm. Not sure what the hell this is. My Greatest Adventure #80 Doom Patrol, baby! Nightwing 100-101 (2016) Honestly not sure about the current direction, but I’m here. Poison Ivy #1-6 Not what I expected, but excellent. The Saga of the Swamp Thing #20-21 So, yeah, this is wild. Scarlet Witch #1-2 We’ll see where this goes Superman #1 (2023) There’s a lot of love here, so I’m excited of this book. Superman: Space Age #1-3 A bleak-yet-hopefull book. Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #1-16 (1954) OH MY GOD! So much fun. Thor #337-348 The beginning of Walt Simonson’s run, and yeah, I’m 100% in. Tim Drake: Robin #1-2 The art pushed me off the book Wonder Woman #274-287, 289-290, 294-299, 301-321 (1942) Only the Huntress stories. A wildly mixed bag, and rarely that compelling. It picks up by the end, but it’s a slog at time. Issues: 123

At work one of the partners was showing someone around, and I think they got confused on how to gender me. He said to the other fellow, "And here's our IT... people." I'm a one-person department, and no one else works anywhere near me. So. Can't say for certain, but the little pause made me think. And made me chuckle.

Thinking about the Bloodline story and how it will impact the Rumble and Wrestlemania, and my dream situation is: Cody returns early in the Rumble, making it deeper and deeper into the match. Meanwhile, Roman's pulled some strings and got Sami in -- possibly the high 20s. He's given him one goal: eliminate Cody, win the match, and relinquish the shot at Mania. Sami completes parts one and two, but then refuses to let his title shot go. Between the Rumble and Mania it's Sami getting beating after beating by The Bloodline, so he enters Mania "inured," and winds up winning with the help of Kevin. Yeah, it's fantasy stuff, but oh man it's what I want.

Delaware State Police have confirmed a second fatality. The driver who swerved into the wrong lane, striking Pugh's truck, also died at the scene.

The news trickling out is that he was involved in a head-on collision. Both of his daughters were in the car. One is having back surgery to restore mobility to her legs, the other is "stable and resting." Mixed reports indicate a fourth person was in the car and they too died, but it's unclear if this is accurate and / or if they were an adult or child.

According to Tony Khan, Jay Briscoe (Jamin Pugh) has passed away at age 38.

Vince would rather sell his family's company to a monarchy soaked in blood than allow it to be inherited by his daughter and son-in-law. Vince objectively has no morals, having covered up his own rapes and the murders of others, so it shouldn't be surprising he'd make this deal. But still, WWE's been in the family for 70+ years and the family has been in the business for 100+ years, but what does he care; Vince hates wrestling and loves money, and that's all this is about.

On top of all the women, he's one of the people I feel the worst for. The man is in the hottest storyline in WWE -- a storyline he made off the back of his own humor, charm, and relatability -- and he's cooked if this deal goes through. Hopefully he's not got long left on his contract, 'cause they'll have him in a barrel over a barrel otherwise. I need to see an El Generico is All Elite banner in 2023.

At present WWE is denying the Saudi rumors, but it's only a matter of time. They have to deny them while they ready investors, networks, talent, etc. before ink is set to paper. If true, they're taking the company private once more, so there are a lot of moving piece in play. This investment firm already owns Newcastle United and a golf tour, so adding WWE to their brand of sports would be a big win for their propaganda campaign which strives to make their blood money legitimate in the West.

Vince is back, and Stephanie has announced her resignation. The rumors of a forthcoming sale feel more concrete by the moment, but I can't figure who'd buy it. The video library and Raw are tied to NBC and the two companies have long ties, so that's a possibility. However, Fox paid billions for Smackdown, so they're not gonna let that show go. I could maybe see them splitting the brands, one for each network, but then they have to split the rosters and that's messy. If it's just about the money, which of course it is, it could go to a Saudi conglomerate, but will US networks want to inherit that mess? I just cannot imagine who Vince is selling to.

I don't think there's an oversized hardcover of the Gerry Conway Carnage series, but it is collected in three trades.

Go.

It's been confirmed Jason David Frank, Tommy from Power Rangers, has died.

FUCK!

This year has fucking sucked!

This was an awesome episode. I cannot wait to rewatch Drácula.

Loving the show, guys. I've got a little more to go, but I wanted to add one thing about Spider-Verse. One of the gems of the movie is the way it plays with animation. Before he becomes comfortable with is powers, Miles moves at 12 FPS -- which is way he's always so herky jerky and awkward. Once he learns to believe in himself and catches up with the other Spiders ("Hello, Danger"), Miles is in sync with everyone else at the standard 24 FPS. It's a brilliant attention to detail and a masterful way to use the form of film making to tell Miles' story.

Halloween Ends Huh. Literally just finished it, so my thoughts aren't formed. But I will say that's very much where I saw Allyson going based on the ending of Halloween (2018). The rest, I don't know. After Halloween Kills, it makes sense the This timeline is deferentially done and dusted, so I'll give it that. THOUGH

Halloween Kills A modern "villagers hunt the monster" story is an interesting idea, but it missed the mark. The main reason: just before they catch him, we're reminded Michael is a mentally ill six year old in a man's body. So when they start piling on, I felt bad for him. And that shouldn't be my reaction. Nor should I then be happy when he's able to get up and fight back. Maybe that's the Michael Myers fan in me, but in the moment it felt good to see his strike back at his rabid attackers. And while I dig how they filled in the gaps between Halloween 1978 and 2018, showing us how it erases Halloween II (1981), it's too all over the place for its own good.

Very nice!

Awesome!

Oh shit!

Agreed on all counts. Tony has Arn Anderson and Dean Malenko right there to keep the locker room straight, along with Sting, Jericho, and Christopher Daniels. He need to lean on them to make sure grievances are sorted sorted out before they become whatever transpired between Punk and The Elite. Tony also to move Nick and Matt away from EVP roles. Yeah, they've been selfless when it comes to putting some teams over and helping push Hangman to a World Championship, the tag division has a smaller focus when the belts aren't on or being chased by them.
