I also like the idea that Chris Claremont was chosen to write the first Captain Britain stories because he, Claremont, was born in England. That’s definitely funnier if it’s true.

Nevertheless, I’d still like to try those first Question comics. It can be good to read ideas that I don’t necessarily agree with.

I’d like to try the early Question stories, although I’ve not always got on with Steve Ditko’s writing. I’m not denying the man’s talent, not at all, but I struggle with his outlook. I read some of his Mr. A character, a Question precursor, and didn’t connect with his objectivism.

…although, now I think about it, that might have been when she became The Question. I think it was.
Anyway, I’ve not read any of the Steve Ditko-written Question, originally a Charlton Comics character who debuted in Blue Beetle vol. 5 #1 in 1967.

The characters, the setup, the mysteries… I want to see how Arcadia plays out. The art is superb and, as I’ve already said, this first issue is an excellent read.
I’m looking forward to issue two.

What I really like about Arcadia is hard-boiled/noir elements while being firmly set today. And it’s not like a 1940s tale transplanted to the modern day. The hard-boiled/noir style is there but the story is very nowadays with the climate crisis. I like that balance. It works.

Arcadia’s writer and artist is Gabriel Hardman @gabrielhardman.bsky.social with Romulo Fajardo Jr.’s colour art and lettering by Simon Bowland @simonbowland.bsky.social.
All of it is fantastic, how it looks, how it reads.

Giving me vibes of Dan Reed's Transformers UK art, in a great way.

This is bit odd.
Would you be able to find out why this is, please? (Generally, rather than just my local shop)
This is the shop that took a chance by putting the original, then-unknown Numenera on the shelf and got me into your games. I want to continue to support them and you.
Thanks.

Such a striking image.

The scene at the end of 'Gold' could also make suitable memes.

From the amazing cover by Jim Lee, Scott Williams, and Tom Orzechowski, to the World War 2-set story involving Captain America, Black Widow, and Wolverine, this issue stands out.
There’s nothing more to this choice than I really like it. As I’ve done before here, that’s all I need.

I look up Girl Genius and hit the button to go to the first one. I look at the date. Okay. There’s a lot of this. Like, a lot!
(Reads the first few parts) And it’s good. It’s really good.
I leap into the rabbit hole.
Want to join me there?

I get home and look it up. Kaja and Phil Foglio. I’ve heard of them. I’ve read their stuff in… Dragon Magazine, I think.
(Looks it up.) Yes! What’s New With Phil and Dixie. This is a good sign.
The rabbit hole looms before me…

…which I will because I’ve had Spawn: The Dark Ages on my pull list since I knew it was coming. I’m not even slightly disappointed by it, definitely recommend it, and am looking forward to the rest of it.

The art… Well, come on, I going to start feeling a little odd if I use any more superlatives for Sharp’s work. It’s amazing. See it for yourself. Regrets won’t be involved.
The story is intriguing setup for the series. I love the British historical setting. I want to know more…
