They're the kings of false equivalency.

Brilliant cover. There are a couple Steranko covers I think are better, but the thing is, they're all so great it's tough to choose the best.

Thanks for sharing, @glaeken.bsky.social and @dthalliday.bsky.social

What, ANOTHER Friday the 13th? Didn't we just have one of those? Watch your step peoples!

Black Bolt, black background. Perfecto.

Well sure, I'm not advocating for weak or repetitive writing. I just think a lot of effective storytelling possibilities were lost when the omniscient voice was tossed.

I think they should, at least for some books and stories, bring back omniscient narration. While character narration is fine, I believe comics lost something when they dumped 3rd person completely.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

Thank you, @bobdeis.bsky.social That's nice of you to say.

Hope all goes well.

They are clinically incapable of telling the truth.

Thanks, @starodyssey.bsky.social

Excellent!

Mozart level insight.

Deep cut.

My first taste of Tintin, too. I was already starting to copy drawings from comics and storybooks (at about age 8 or so) and I was really drawn to the Herge pages. I always wanted the excerpts to be much longer. I still have those issues!

Not only that, but these things tend to be 'of their time'. When you reboot them, even with the involvement of the original creators, it's virtually impossible to capture the same spirit. You MAY end up with something good, but it will be something different.

Fantastic.

All these Trump acolytes are living examples of the Peter Principal. Utterly incompetent and in so far over their heads they might as well be at the bottom of the Mariana Trench.

I just had a waking nightmare about trying to Windex this transparent bastard of a car.

It's mining similar ground to some other recent films, like Poor Things and The Substance, but I do find the trailer intriguing.

He's like a frikkin' child.

I can't wait for his underwater amusement park.

Underground highways? Artificial islands? What a jackass.

Not to mention a sunny day has become overcast.

The reverse, unfortunately, is less effective.

Comic book character Vampirella with a graphic background depicting a flight of bats.

Marvel character Hogun the Grim, a warrior in a horned helmet, holding a large mace and a shield.

The Alien from the Alien movie franchise, standing in a background of their excreted organic environment.

Art the Clown from Terrifier movies, grinning in sinister fashion, and posing with a butcher's knife. Art and the knife are both spotted with blood.

More inks and pencils. Vampirella, Hogun the Grim, The Alien, and Art the Clown. Brush and ink, with a splash of red gouache for Art. Hot pressed watercolour paper, 9x12 inches.

I've noted it as well. It was an homage, I'm sure, as BR is a Noir film, essentially.

Perfect zig-zag layout.
