Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe 4 has the Hulk take it to Godzilla on equal footing in a brutal battle. For a time. But good ol' @gerryduggan.bsky.social, Paco Medina, & Javier Garron really delivered the goods with T'Challa's plan. I didn't see that coming, but I did love it when I saw it.

Not knowing TMNT well, I don't have a good handle on comics Shredder or IDW comics Shredder, but this new @danpgwatters.bsky.social mini series is well told. Easy for new readers to learn Shredder is beyond serious business. He does the bidding of his handlers because it suits him. But for how long?

If you get Uncanny X-men by @gailsimone.bsky.social your series is temporarily Unbreakable X-men starting this week. 10 years into the Age of Revelation future, Rogue made an incredible sacrifice for the world, now Gambit may actively be looking to do the same. Big moments & great Werneck art too!

Fantastic Four x Gargoyles jumps around a lot, but if you love Gargoyles then you'll have so much fun with this. You'll hear the characters speak in the actor's voices & will really want to see this animated. Show creator Weisman writes it & does the right things for both properties.

Age of Revelation Rogue Storm 1 was awesome. 10 years from now Storm has turned & her vast powers are destroying Earth. Rogue leads a new X-force to unfortunately neutralize her friend. This was outstanding. Action packed. Rogue's condition was a well kept surprise too! Definitely see about this!

Age of Revelation is an event taking place 10 years from & replaces series for a couple months. X-men becomes Amazing X-men, Laura Wolverine becomes Laura Sabretooth, etc. The @ayodelemurewa.bsky.social Storm series becomes Rogue Storm by Murewa. Please pick it up because it IS the Storm series.

Meanwhile in the spirit of Halloween, I submit this scene from Poltergeist II. This is in my top 50 movie scenes. I love the way its shot, lit, acted. No notes. Poor Julian Beck was dying here but delivered an unforgettable performance, and frankly look, that stuck with me since I was a kid. Enjoy.

Endeavour's solicitation sounded thin. Something happens on a replica of the famous vessel during a tourist experience leaving only the children. But this was SO well written. Deep characterization fast. Maybe Stephanie Phillips' best. I was truly impressed & didn't want the inevitable shoe to drop.

There's no day of the week like New Comic Book Day. How lucky we are to have a day like that. New people learning when new comics come out is such a great thing to observe happen. They get to see the most variety, see what other people are getting, and be a part of a day unlike any other.

I think there is a very good chance that this latest Titan Scale action figure is who or whatever has been lurking around the Sacred Ring in Void Rivals!

I'm not a Turtles person, BUT I read the TMNT 13 preview that IDW provided retailers ahead of today's final order cut off & really, really liked it. @geneluenyang.bsky.social knocks it out of the park & Freddie Williams III makes it seem like your action figures are in motion! Buy with confidence!

This is a fascinating piece and always was. If you’re not sure what an inker brings to art this will make it clear. The same pencils, wildly different results, each one awesome in their own way.

two big influences on my young comics art brain. from Comics Scene magazine they commissioned 4 top inkers to ink the same drawing to show what an inker does. a page from How to Draw Comics the Marvel way by John buscema

Aw man. I haven’t been able to watch the Jim Henson doc or the Paul Ruebens one. Just can’t do it, you know? Not sure if I can do this one either :(
lordretail.bsky.social
Thanks! We’ll see you again soon!

Yes, but......What's Happening NOW? ;)

Ralph is one the best of our comics retailer community. A great person & Alternate Reality in Vegas is a great shop. So disturbing that this has happened. I'm glad that he and everyone are ok. To do this to any business, especially a beloved third place micro business, is such a horrible choice.

This is a horrible way to start the business day. At 6:36am this morning 4 or 5 guys (wearing masks) in a blue and white car busted into Alternate Reality Comics (photo of the car from House of Cars’ camera should be coming to me later today). $500 in theft items.

Mike! Thank you!

Hope to see you again in 2026 somewhere :)
