Empathy is valuing all life, that you become scared when an animal you live with suddenly disappears and you look for them. Finding them safe and sound is its own reward. I’m glad @hexxedwriter.bsky.social found Morrigan the cat in good health after she accidentally got herself outside.

Trick r Treat is an underrated Halloween masterpiece. Also, I can’t figure out what disturbs me more about the disabled kids drowning. Apart from the fact it’s downright evil, I think it was one of the kids understanding what was really happening and trying to save both himself and the other kids.

Based on what Scott Snyder said on Substack, there doesn't appear to be any plans to bring back pre-Crisis Earth-2 since DC wants to focus on its Prime Earth continuity. However, the success of the Absolute line could still open the door for DC to consider doing more stories set in the multiverse.

Maybe I need to move to Ireland. It’ll make hanging out with @fetishcigarbear.bsky.social easier, plus make it easier to grow my Substack. www.businessinsider.com/ireland-basi...
Ireland plans to make a $1,500 a month basic income for artists permanent
Ireland's Basic Income for the Arts experiment has given creatives a weekly payment for three years. Now, a permanent program could be on the way.

I’m still questioning the logic of ending this latest iteration of Marvel’s Ultimate Universe when it’s consistently a top seller every month. The stories exceeded expectations each time with room for more.

"As an arc opener, and an event tie-in no less, Justice League Unlimited #12 stands as a surprisingly poignant character-oriented tale."

Read @filthygrrls.bsky.social & @ericaschultz42.bsky.social's review:
‘Justice League Unlimited’ #12 is a meditative calm before the storm
Time-displaced Leaguers take center stage in a melancholy arc opener.

Yeah, I think it would have faired better if it simply documented DC’s canonical history as it originally happened. Then the broad strokes approach would have gone down more smoothly. Great artwork, though.

How did Marvel settle on the Ultimate Universe's name for its 2024 reboot? By the power of Jonathan Hickman's pitching skills
www.thepopverse.com/comics-marve...
Marvel’s Ultimate Universe nearly had another name - or one of 40 other names, per the company’s president
Marvel Comics’ breakout hit revival of the Ultimate Universe was nearly not the Ultimate Universe because the name made Dan Buckley “really nervous.”

Valnet unfortunately let go of the entire TheGamer features team today alongside several other staff members.

Many incredibly talented and hard working writers I've had the pleasure of working with over the past several years.

Pretty much. I’m not feeling hopeful voting Democrat in 2026 is going to lead to a harder pushback against MAGA Republicans if they’re not exercising their constitutional rights *right* now. I get *needing* to preserve the rule of law, but I also don’t think we can afford one more year of Trump.
