DC needs to relaunch Legends of the Dark Knight with you and @cleanlined.bsky.social leading the book!!

I just finished reading it and this is by far the best Batman comic on the stands. The cover alone is instantly iconic and striking.

I’ve rarely found Batman comics to be truly inspiring but this series really is. It saddens me there’s only three issues left but I’m thrilled to see what’s next.

Thank you for the great news!! Your back-matter in the collected edition was so cool.

Picked up #LocalMan at SDCC this year— what an extraordinary series! What an extraordinary collected edition too!! Man, I’m so sad I found this after they finished the run. I desperately hope @hackintimseeley.bsky.social and @tonyfleecs.bsky.social return to these characters some day. FUCK CROSSJACK

I’m sitting at lunch and the Chipotle workers are talking about how excited they are to go watch Superman.

#Superman might be back in the zeitgeist.

@jamesgunn.bsky.social why won’t LEGO make any #Superman movie sets??

Now that is how you do a two-issue arc!! Thank you @dcoffical.bsky.social for putting @danpgwatters.bsky.social on #Nightwing!!! Can’t wait for the next arc. #Blüdhaven feels so perfectly gritty and Nightwing’s dynamic with the BPD fondly reminds me of the 1996 series. @ffrancavilla.bsky.social

Picked this up from Target today! Have I read all the stories reprinted inside before? Yes. Do I have any space for this within my room/house? No…

I somehow managed to secure a copy of the Marvel Team-Up 14 reprint from the #BattleBeast blind bags! I did notice they changed the coloring entirely and some dialogue! Guess I still gotta hunt for the original printing some day! (Left is 2006, Right is 2025)

I FINALLY got around to finishing MCU by @jowrotethis.bsky.social, Dave Gonzales, and @mrgavinedwards.bsky.social! Such a great book! It really acted as a form of comfort entertainment during a hectic semester for me in college. I especially loved that bonus chapter hidden in the Notes section!!
