I love comics. And cookies. And kind people. And evidently, typos. Secretly Boomslang, the scaled speedster! Pronouns he/him - Transphobes and other bigots are not welcome here.

How insane that 2000 people reposted the President complaining about a photo?

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

I think that if they had issued Amethyst in a Manga-like format it would have done well. Just a great story with appeal to kids. That original maxi-series was so good.

#Halloween "One of these things doesn't belong with the others." There are no wrong answers. Each one can be eliminated from the other 3. She knows what she did! I have my reasons. Show me yours.

I have answers for the other two also, but don't want to spoil everyone's fun.

He was quite sick and this was not unexpected, but it is still sad. I enjoyed the online interactions I had with him. He seemed like a really good guy.

Saddened to learn that comics writer Christopher Mills has passed. He wrote some very entertaining comics, especially FEMME NOIR and his Atomic Action comics.

R.I.P.

Yeah, I am not willing to gamble that it will work as it should, since you had problems. I'll just do without/wait. Lord knows I already have plenty of comics to read anyway.

Thanks for the heads-up. I was considering it, but had concerns about how to move files from a flash drive to my tablet. Sounds like I wouldn't be able to.

Slangword Scott @slangwordscott.bsky.social · 1d

I enjoyed that. I'll probably give it a re-read after I re-read the Kirby series.

Slangword Scott @slangwordscott.bsky.social · 1d

I don't know what I was thinking. So visually dissonant. I decided to reread the Kirby series instead.

Protip: Don't try to read John Byrne's Demon the same day you see original Jack Kirby Demon art.

#shakeyourclz I bought Titans all the way through. This crossover came near the end. Kudos to Marv Wolfman for writing Titans for so long, but the spark was long gone by this time.

NEW TITANS 125 with a chapter of "The Siege of the Zi Charam."
