The Silvestri years were not my yum, so my mutie reading grew erratic. Inferno brought me back temporarily, because I love horror (w/kink.) The core books still didn't do much for me, but I bought every Spider-Man tie-in, that Excalibur #6 cover gave creeps, & later, one of my favorite What If...?s

I tried this, but... a) there were just too many words from that year to sift through b) the entire decade had an annoying vocabulary of insta-dated pseudo-intellectual/scientific/profound bullshit c) a lifetime of hearing them from their buzzy beginnings make them especially repellent to me

Uh-oh-- a Curt Swan fill-in on an up-priced title in 1988. Better get George on the cover...

To be honest, these missed me. I think I have a vague recollection of their existence, but I either never got my hands on any, or they didn't hit. I watched all those old monster movies growing up on a little B&W TV, but they always felt like artifacts of an earlier generation's childhood.

I don't know enough about my family history to go back a century. My paternal great grandmother and grandfather had very cool, but not remotely communal careers. I think I have enough skills at this point to not be a general laborer, at least.

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli. I've seen a bunch of qualifying movies at or near 6 times, but I wanted to go extra hard and pick one that no one would associate with my usual tastes.

Starlin's earlier work with Thanos & his proxies were literally foundational to my psyche, filling the philosophical & theological void of parental abdication. So imagine my ambivalence here: a poe-smashfaced retread that bored Perez off the book midway through (I only checked out spiritually.)

I was given one issue of COIE in real time, and it was the best issue, but also one of the only ones I could ever force myself to read in full. An event of such magnitude as to be best left an uncomprehended mélange of hyperdense imagery & circumstance, not a slog of "begats" obsessively poured over

Post a perfect album from the 90's that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice In Chains

The most successful event for bringing in new readers, especially women, in my eight years of retailing. I couldn't have cared less about reading any of it myself, but it made my heart glad to see some life left in the post-bust '90s comics industry that I had 'till that point watched sliding away.

The event we used to launch our podcast a dozen years ago. Much more a sequel to '70s Starlin than any of his own '90s Infinity dreck. Made me finally see the appeal in all those '60s Marvel cosmic characters that I'd always written off as Fantastic Four flotsam. An exceptional event/framework.

My half-brother bought all the early Valiant that I read, then I moved out of state for a year, & skimmed catch-up for Unity. It all looked interesting, and was grim as hell, but I still failed to commit to a trial until (groan) The Chaos Effect. Never took, but I still want a set of this someday.

Looks like I'll be adding Taylor Farms to my "done with forever" list. I used to buy their products regularly, but that will never happen again. At the end of the day, they're just another salad packer, so this doesn't hurt near as much as my Jimmy Dean divorce. www.wired.com/story/diarrh...

Taylor Farms Spent Big on MAGA and Anti-Regulatory Lobbying Before Diarrhea OutbreakThe company donated more than $3.6 million to conservative groups between 2020 and 2025, including $1 million to the MAGA Inc. super PAC.www.wired.com

What if an event series was melatonin? I didn't agree with the aims (sainting mass-murderer Hal Jordan.) I've never found my way into pre-Nextwave Benadryl Immonen. Kesel was always better inking Byrne than writing like him. Many technically worse x-overs, but few that left me so very cold.

"Nuke Me with the New (Universe)" was a bit out of my timeline, as my investment was mostly loaners and quarter bin dives, both dried up within the first year. But where it lacked money and talent, they had audacity, and there's value in that. Gruenwald's curse was to live as Moore's 1st draft.
