No detective chimp is a dealbreaker! Yeah it’s a fun story if you’re obsessed with the crime syndicate as some might be. 😅 Geoff Johns is great at merging the classics with current storytelling

THE WHITE COMMANDS YOU (2003)
Oil on Panel - 28" x 18"

Interior illustration for THE DARK TOWER (book 7) by @stephenking.bsky.social 1/3

Father Callahan, a white haired man with a cross-shaped scar on his forehead, stands atop a table surrounded by vampires and low men. He thrusts his hands upward with a small turtle figurine glowing intensely bright. He is dressed all in black with a pistol tucked in his belt. Bathed in light, his face is etched with determination as his eyes draw to beads. The hideous creatures immediately surrounding him draw back in pain, grasping at their heads in agony with his shouted command. The room behind is lit yellow and orange where a curtain is drawn back and more creatures pile. Above, the light of the turtle radiates in defined white lines that shift the background purple.

Detail from THE GODS LAUGHED featuring a man in white spacesuit standing meekly gripping the lip of his helmet with both hands. He cranes his neck to peer up at the enormous figures of aliens towering over him.

You gotta give ‘em hop.

A tweet from the Anonymous account says, “Make sure the dude in the frog costume in Portland knows he's an icon.” The image is a stylized poster of a frog wearing a stars-and-stripes scarf with the word “HOP” below, in the style of the Obama “HOPE” poster.

Daily X read. Betsy is transformed by the Body Shoppe and put through a psychic maze to kill her heroic spirit by making her kill her friends to collect Mandarin rings. There's a glitch at the end so she might just be pretending to submit to the Mandarin. Who she has been gifted to by the Hand.
