I am on the fence on the pointy intentionality. In any case, it’s wrong minded.

Gotta say, I am not a fan of these over rendered shields altogether, zomb or not. Early comic art was at times crude but efficient storytelling. The lines on the star are actually bad storytelling because it’s expressing a depth like an embossment and that’s making this flake-ass shield look pointy.

The video, too, is sublime. Using the footage from Space Adventure Cobra was genius.

Hey, I’m as happy as the next guy to finally have a Cindy Wilson card in Marvel Snap but why’d they make her be a zomb? She’s not even dead- what? Oh. Never mind. My bad.

Another Marvel Snap season, another visual irritation from the loading page. This time it’s not bad anatomy, bad photoshopping or The Fallen One’s- risen one… it’s Cap’s zombie shield. The shield is invulnerable. So why is it all zombified?

For awhile the code was so strict that writer Marv Wolfman was given a hard time for using his last name. Or so the legend goes.

My first thought for November was 1602 season as I thought it would be a kick to have a bunch of 17th century looking cards for the month of US Thanksgiving. But I am still too angry about Neil Gaiman to even do the make-believe about it.

I would adhere as much as I was able to: a) the MCU schedule b) the Marvel Comics schedule, but I would also c) Wrap it all in nostalgia, and also d) keep story and lore forefront. Below is a year of season themes for 2026 w/ details to follow. 🧵
