Back at it again with my 2026 comics reading thread!
"Age of Reptiles: Ancient Egyptians" by Ricardo Delgado. In the backmatter Delgado describes this as a western, which brings the whole story into focus. Even the dinosaur courtship rituals are framed like Sergio Leone gunslinger duels.

Just watched "Weapons." I was under the impression it was a a movie about school shootings so I was surprised that its actually another movie about the thing horror movie writers fear the most: old women.

Caught myself wondering if the Science Saru GITS show is going to be as inscrutable as the manga and then remembered Toh Enjoe is writing it lol. Did anyone understand what was going on in Godzilla Singular Point?

Gary Larson: In my cartoon I invented Cow Tools as a cautionary tale

Had no idea people were still holding so much hate for the Dilbert guy. Like, sure he was a horrible racist weirdo but the battle was already won when he got fired from his newspaper gigs.

got into some delightfully nerdy conversations last year about what i like to call "multiplane comics" based on their resemblance to multiplane camera/setback tabletop shot animation, which i go off on here:

I kept unfairly comparing this to Aidan Koch comics from the same time period but honestly more people should be trying to do Aidan Koch knockoffs imo.

This is a long shot but does anyone know any economics youtubers my mom can watch that aren’t generated by AI.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how the myth that republicans are “good at the economy” persists largely because it’s enshrined in all the middle school social studies textbooks.
every Republican president destroys the economy but every four years the Republicans are treated as the Economy Party

One of the things that has me most worried is CNN pushing HARD this week for the US to start another war. They had John Bolton on two days ago calling to invade Cuba and today they had on a delusional Iranian woman asking Trump to "liberate" the people of Iran. Jake Tapper desperate for blood.

Thank you to whichever one of you guys put your copy of this on ebay today.

Not a single one of the people doing the “I’m no fan of Maduro but…” song and dance could have told you the name of Venezuela’s leader yesterday, and that includes professional political reporters.

I think the idea is Columbo gets a lot of leeway from his superiors because of his track record of high profile arrests, which is funny because it’s the exact opposite of how things work in real life. He’d arrest one rich guy and be off the force.

Was Gilbert Hernandez the first person to call superhero comics "slop," or was that a common insult at the time that's coming back around?

That’s a wrap on my 2025 comics reading thread. Lots of good comics here, and some real stinkers, let’s do it again some time.
“OMAC” #1 by Jack Kirby and Mike Royer. Last comic I read in 2025, ran out of time before I could read the rest of the book. Don’t think I ever noticed how Ditko-esque OMAC is.

It would be easy to reduce Xaime to being the subtle character writing guy and Beto to being the sexploitation guy so its always fun whenever they do an issue where those roles are reversed.
"Love & Rockets" #16 by Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez. The Beto story is so insistent about how much Guadalupe loves her husband that I assume they're going to break up in the next issue. I always love the Anima stories, its like Xaime doing a parody of Beto's weirdo Vertigo/Dark Horse sci-fi comics.

When Ōima started a series about how its sad when people die, I don't think anyone could have guessed that 20+ books later it would be a series about how WEIRD it gets when no one can really die.
"To Your Eternity" Volume 22 by Yoshitoki Ōima. There is so much insane stuff in this book. How did we end up here.
