I’ve been seeing this cover over and over and I just…
In the original you’re aware of the horror of falling, but the body positions of the workers are solid on the beam. Here, most of them should be falling off, yet they don’t, because they live in an unreal, consequence-free space.

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

Are any of my friends Hugo voters? How do we get this podcast an award? Lots of awards! I don't think it's disrespectful towards other podcasts (including the one I co-produce) to say Graeme and the team have come up with the best podcast possible:

I'm so proud of my friend Graeme. He's always been an exceptional storyteller but his new podcast series, The Comics Code, is so good I'm actually crying on public transport. The story of Superman's creation is heartbreaking and inspirational. Roll on, series two!

I'm not the biggest #superman fan in the world, but I *do* love well-produced documentaries about nearly any topic. The COMICS CODE is absolutely one of those!
If you're a fan of Supes (or not!) I highly recommend this podcast!

Um… Daniel Craig’s Bond was a total reboot giving him the story of Bond’s first mission as a 00 agent. They just start over again? New Bond, first mission (ish)
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Finally set aside some time to catch up on the first two episodes of The Comics Code podcast by @graemeburk.bsky.social, diving deep into the story behind Siegel and Shuster's creation of Superman. Thorough in its research and gorgeous in its production. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I have an idea: If city council votes to put more money into Lansdowne, the move could include renaming it to "Watson-Sutcliffe Park."
Whatever resulted, good or bad, would be tied to their names indefinitely.
