DAY 5: Baron Karza
I know heβs based on a toy design, but Baron Karza is arguably more famous as a comicbook character than he ever was as a toy. Plus, heβs just too badass not to be on this list. Karza is the one on the right.
Thank you!
I love the Stooges! Thank you!

Day 10: Riddler
This is entirely possible.
Unlikely. This was long before the MCU was even a thing, and at this point Rocket Raccoon was just an obscure character who appeared in a handful of comics a decade before Fifth Element was released.
Concept art for The Fifth Element, Luc Bessonβs 1997 sci-fi cult classic movie starring Bruce Willis (the cab driver) and Milla Jovivich (the woman who quite literally fell into his life.) My main takeaway from this pic is, βWhy the hell didnβt the raccoon make it to the final film?β

I honestly donβt know. We never talked after that, and a couple years later, we both went to different high schools.

DAY 4: Black Flash
Zoomβs costume is cool because it takes the Flashβs costume and reverses the color palette. Black Flash takes the basic motif of the Flashβs look and gives it a sinister twist.
I still remember the day my best friend in grade school told me that he couldnβt play D&D with me anymore. Not because his parents wouldnβt let him, but because it wasnβt cool anymore. I didnβt stop playing, because I never felt shame for enjoying the things I did, but I lost a good friend that day.

DAY 4: Zoom
Flashβs costume is one of the most iconic superhero designs ever, so it would make sense that Zoomβs Reverse Flash look would be opposite but equally iconic.
I took my boy to his first AEW show back in December, and they put us in the Jumbotron. π€©

Day 8: Black Cat
On this day in 1987, Beastie Boys made chart history when their debut album, Licensed To Ill, became the first rap album to hit #1 on the Billboard 200! It held that spot for 7 weeks. License To Ill isnβt my favorite Beasties album, but it does hold a very special place in my heart.

D20 Or Die, from Becky Books, is a collection of essays from authors who played TTRPGs during the golden age of the 80s. I was fortunate to have been invited to contribute, and it remains one of my favorite writing gigs ever. Editor @writerjimbeard.bsky.social was a dream to work with.
