Forgot to do this but hello Bluesky!

Some of the following stuff I'll likely only post about, and is what I'm into:

– Comics (Superman)
– Manga (Fist of the North Star)
– Film/TV

Think that about covers it.
I’m back!

But for only one week.
Hey guys, just giving you all a heads up! I will be deactivating my account here in around 10 hours.

Not for any serious reason, if you're worried!

I really love his paintings from recent years.

These two were from just this year.

I think the Tentei arc is probably where Hara's artwork peaked in the original Fist of the North Star series.

🧵Here's the Superman daily strip story "The Menace of Metallo," featuring the first appearance of Metallo.

Dated December 15, 1958 to April 4, 1959. I pulled it together from looking through newspaper archives.

Won’t be on socials until after the 12th so as to avoid spoilers for Superman so I can see it with empty expectations.

Until then, hope everyone takes care!

Earlier today, I found a sketch by artist Curt Swan from 1993.

There have been many Superman artists over the years, all of them fantastic, but I'll probably always hold Swan as the definitive artist for the character.

His Superman looked more like he was capturing the likeness of a real person.

Ken looks so good here, they got Hara's current style down pat plus his colour work.

I'm actually so hyped for the new Fist of the North Star anime.

I've only been focusing on comics here for a bit, but I also want to talk about my excitement for the Hana no Keiji manga getting released this fall, with artwork by Tetsuo Hara (of Fist of the North Star).

I found the preview pages on Edelweiss, and they look so good in this quality.

Now it's time to go through them, considering their first arcs have all concluded. To reiterate, I love all of these books – they've been so good to read. If one is lower for me, it's only the tiniest margin imaginable.

Absolute Superman > Absolute Wonder Woman > Absolute Batman.

Round 3 + 4!

Forgot to detail my thoughts on the third issues but Absolute Supes took the win for me again (Kal's relationship with Krypton here is the best it's ever been depicted), with Absolute Wonder Woman being my second favourite.

For the fourth issues: Wonder Woman took the win this time!

🧵Here's the lost Superman daily strip story "The Super-Duel in Space," featuring Romado – the prototype for Brainiac.

Dated April 14, 1958 to August 23, 1958. I pulled it together from looking through newspaper archives.

I missed Jiménez's artwork on Supes, I'm happy he's back – I hope it's not just for this special!

I'm so happy that Di Giandomenico is getting a guest issue on Absolute Superman, I really love his Supes artwork.

Happy Holidays, everyone!

This arrived a bit earlier than claimed, and will also be my first time properly reading the Legion of Super-Heroes.

I've only ever watched the animated series, so I don't what to expect! I'll write up my thoughts at a later date.

Round 2!

Once again, fantastic books – all of them! My tiers haven't changed, Absolute Supes is still on top for me especially because of that second issue. Kal and Lois' dynamic together was great, and that first flight scene was awesome with that Sunstone cape.

To give some context, this quote is from a series of articles/interviews done with Hara for his then-upcoming art exhibition. He talked about the hardships of working on Fist of the North Star there on his health.

No, friends, I'm sorry to say that this is not a new Super Sons comic, but for me, it is for something very special, I will tell you soon.. ;)

Book acquired!

Excellent quality and presentation, it's a very nice edition – convinced to get the other DC Finest Supes books when I can, arguably the best way to collect his old stuff currently without being too costly.
