Last of the V-8 Interceptors. He/Him. Pop Culture, Politics, and an undying hatred of Trumpers and their white enablers. No friend of fandom. 280,132nd person on Bluesky. Occasionally surly. “Che la mia ferita sia mortale.”

A somewhat sizable sandwich on some kind of grained bread, layered in sausage stuffing, green bean casserole, turkey, both white and dark meat, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and sweet potatoes with marshmallows.

I took the week off, and since it’s been a while, I swung by the ol’ #LocalComicShop and picked up my hold file.

Yes, it’s an extra healthy pour, but in my defense, the bottle was basically empty. Or at least, it is now.

A glass of whiskey with an ice cube sits by an Xbox controller, an IPad, and a tv remote. The glass says “relax. We got this.”

This is Day 47: Valeria Richards
Art by Stuart Immonen, Sanford Greene, Esad Ribic, Nick Dragotta

Valeria Richards steps through a portal.

Valeria Richards greets a broken Doom as he awakens from his coma:

Doom (severely injured, opens eyes): “hnnnnn… and how did you survive, Valeria, when all else perished?”
Valeria: “Oh, you know me, Uncle. I was never seduced by the short-term satisfaction of victory.
I've always been more interested in survival. Just like you.”
Doom: No, Valeria. Doom does not survive... Doom endures.”

Hulk lands in a ruined city to see Valeria Richards come careening around a corner in a vehicle. A creature from alien xenomorph species xx112 is after her. Miles Morales pulls her to safety

An older Valeria Richards from the future confronts her younger past self in her room at the Baxter Building as she is working on her laptop:

Old Valeria: “THAT DEPENDS. WHAT DAY IS THIS?”
Young Valeria: “IT'S THURSDAY, THE 12th.”
Old Valeria: “AND WHAT TIME IS IT?”
Young Valeria: “..IT'S 8:37.
(Old Valeria smacks Young Valeria on the back of the head.)
Young Valeria: “OOWWWW! WHY DID YOU--“
Old Valeria: “DELETE IT. AND DON’T MAKE ME COME BACK IN HERE.”
(An angry Young Valeria truculently rubs the back of her head then sighs and reluctantly deletes a document titled: “CONQUEST: A prospectus of how to defeat and subjugate the KREE EMPIRE.”)

Happy “A partially muscled skeleton stands by the perimeter fence and screams for thirty seconds before vanishing” day to all who celebrate.

A panel from Watchmen that reads “NOVEMBER 14TH: A PARTIALLY MUSCLED SKELETON STANDS BY THE PERIMETER FENCE AND SCREAMS FOR THIRTY SECONDS BEFORE VANISHING...” and shows a partially muscled skeleton by a fence, screaming, as one guard watches and another pukes.

Then there's this part, the "don't put in the papers that I'm mad part," the "shut the fuck up, you dumb fucking nerd" part.

Text that says:

He said: "The last time we saw Bond, he was poisoned and blown to smithereens – how will they get past the fact he is dead with a capital D? I think that was a mistake, because Bond is a legend. He belongs to everybody, he is eternal – except in that film. If I was asked tomorrow to write the script, I wouldn't be able to do it. Where would you start? You can't have him waking up in the shower and saying it was all a dream."

Horowitz, who has just finished work on the BBC thriller Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue, added he had never been asked to contribute to the films by producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson, who oversaw the franchise before handing creative control to Amazon earlier this year.

"Never been asked, never really wanted to," he said. "You need a thick skin for that business. I'm probably happier out of it."

This is Day 44: Crackerjack
Art by Brent Anderson and Alex Ross

Crackerjack and Quiver swing around the rooftops. The captions says: “He was new. Crackerjack. He said one time her was from a circus family that was abducted and trained by aliens… and he was the only escapee.”

Crackerjack swings into view, saying: “NO NEED TO APPLAUD, KIDDIES AND KIDETTES! JUST
SIT BACK AND WATCH, WHILE A PROFESSIONAL DEMONSTRATES THE FINE ART OF MONSTER-TAMING!”

An injured Crackerjack tends to his wounds.

I’m really enjoying #DC #comics Absolute Universe. It really appeals to the long time What if/Elseworld fan in me. Plus, the stories are fun and unpredictable. Good stuff.
