THIS WEEK: When monstrous Bio-Titans invade Earth, our last hope is a ten-ton alien battlesuit — but the only creature who can turn it on is a rambunctious terrier!

Also, the endless customization is going to come at the cost of, well, being good, or even remotely watchable.

I think these tech companies also underestimate the water cooler effect — you can't recommend bespoke AI programming, you can't talk about it, it's inherently disposable and forgettable.

Thank you so much for the kind words on CAPTAIN PLANET! So glad you're digging it!

My review: Captain Planet and the Planeteers #1 is full of bright, rich colors and brings the classic characters into the modern age to save the planet. I think we're going on a lot of really cool adventures. Buy it! ✅ 🌎

I say this about every book of mine, but especially Captain Planet:

I don’t write my books so I can preach to the choir — I write them because I want converts.

David Pepose - Comic Book Writer @peposed.bsky.social · 2d

With respect, I’ve seen nostalgia comics try to act as a lost season or add-on season of a show, and those often fail because they exclude any potential new readers from discovering the property. Accessibility is critical when the last episode aired decades ago.

Vic! Perfecto @victorperfecto.bsky.social · 2d

Dynamite is doing a Captain Planet book and it's a reboot, which is a shame because I think there's more power to doing a revival where it's been 30 years and the Planeteers and the Captain himself have to carry the weight of the world not listening

Something I did NOT expect to see today was a Captain Planet reboot. @dynamitecomicshq.bsky.social bringing back my childhood and it looks badass!

Cover art for Captain Planet and the Planeteers by Pepose and Casallos from Dynamite Comics. A green bearded Captain Planet looks serious, with his hands on his hips. He is in space, with stars in the background and the planet Earth can be seen as well.

The beauty of these WB-owned worlds is that they have many properties that could've been brought in as part of the DC multiverse if they really wanted them to be.

Fortunately, we're seeing how many of those worlds would look in comic form thanks to Dynamite Entertainment.
