Yet another example of male authors writing characters purely defined by their physical attributes. It sickens me.

Damn. Sorry to hear about this.
Aside from Al Milgrom, Sal Buscema might be my favorite Hulk artist. He's responsible for many of the images that still live rent-free in my head 40 years later.
RIP, Legend!

Here's a bit of a timeline cleanse for you: the final work of Kawase Hasui, my personal favorite ukiyo-e artist of the shin-hanga movement of the early 20th century. I think his work is incredible.

'Hall of the Golden Hue at Hiraizumi' - Kawase Hasui, 1957. This was Hasui's final work before his death later the same year.

It's a shame there's not a physical release of this show. It really is a masterpiece. Too bad there's no other way to watch it...
Netflix is about to abandon one of the greatest reboot series of all time. Yes, I know it's a license issue but I have a feeling, sadly, it's also an LGBT thing too. 😔 Watch this great series while you still can. #sheraandtheprincessofpower

Iran is under an internet blackout. Iranian protestors aren’t seeing Trump’s posts (who knows how many usually would, but they aren’t now). This message isn’t for them.
A show of pretend toughness for Iran regime change advocates, and pretend concern while violently repressing protestors at home.

Trump: "Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING- TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price. I have cancelled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS. HELP IS ON ITS WAY. MIGA!!! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP"

There's nothing quite like the feeling of making something with your hands that you're proud of.
Watching a blank canvas, paper, screen, etc fill up with your deliberate effort & determination; feeling that singular satisfaction of seeing it come to fruition.
It's magic. Uniquely HUMAN magic.
