And all my friends feel the same

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.

Before anything else, a word of thanks to our esteemed member and former Mod angelophile, for coming to our rescue yet again, as regards the graphics and headers.

Amidst the swirling chaos, watching the Portland, Oregon response to federal troops being sent to deal with their allegedly "crime ridden streets" by staging what might politely be described as weaponised absurdist street theatre (inflatable frog costumes, naked bike rides and many more) has been frankly magnificent. Horrifying they need to, but their style is undeniable.

NYCC gave us a slew of trailers

Star Fleet Academy

Wonder Man

Invincible: Season 4

And information like DC finally releasing the Swamp Thing comic that got cancelled 25 years ago due it's controversial nature (He time travels, meets Jesus and literally becomes the cross on Calvary) which lead to author Rick Vietch quitting DC.
