Everyone stay safe out there and take care. I'll be around again when I can. Hoping for the best for you and your family. Take care of yourself where you can.

Do you have anyone who can help out locally, drop off food and medicine for you all, etc.?

I picked up some classic indies from the 80s which are in magazine format (like weirdo) .. I also have one black label mini I'm pulling monthly. Is there any difference on sizing or is magazine format pretty much standardized.. Also need advice on mylar/boards and toploaders that can accommodate.. I tried bcw magazine Loaders and they were the right dimensions give or take but way too thin to be used.. Trying to avoid doing that twice

I got held up at gunpoint last night and in the cool light of day my main takeaway is that Frank Miller was a chickenshit if that's all it took to turn him reactionary. That really is what I've been thinking about. Maybe he got it really bad in some way that made him want to fantasize about beating people up but like, I got groped and and kicked around hard enough that I pissed blood when I got home last night and had some truly heinous poo poo said to me and I think, like almost everybody would, I left the encounter feeling sadness for the kids who did it, if I'm angry it's at a culture that made it so easy for teenagers to get guns in the first place. It's one of those things where you know, his response always seemed a little strange to me but I was like "well maybe I'd feel the same way, who knows." Well now I know and I think he's a little weenie. Edit: As people in the discord may already know, this has not been a cool week

Yeah I'm bruised but no lasting harm done. Thank you everybody for the kind words, thankfully my wife has been around and took care of a lot of urgent stuff like freezing my bank account and shutting down my phone service when I came in and was shocked and panicking. I've been fortunate enough to be able to take it easy today and have just been grading papers in my PJs and making holiday candy.

How Wonderful!, I think what we all want to know is since you now have an origin story, are you going to head out at night to fight crime? Do we need to throw something through your study window in order to give you some costume inspiration?

I'm not heading out at night to do poo poo for the foreseeable future, but if you insist on throwing something through my window I could go for a ginger ale. Ginger Ale Woman has an ok ring to it. Canada Dryad? Schweppen X?

Gosling Gal has a certain ring, but I suppose that's a ginger BEER, also geese have a bit of an image problem, though no worse I suppose than spiders or bats or wolverines.

Dr. Pepper knockoffs could fill an encyclopedia of comic characters. Dr. Perfect is obviously Mr. Perfect's more successful brother.

This is one of my favorite bits of extremely low-stakes Wikipedia editing/vandalism. The entire thing really, but specifically quote:The label of Dr Thunder has recently been redesigned to say that " You've never been deep, until you've been Dr Thunder deep." quote:We need a citation for this. I purchased a can of Dr. Thunder today with out the words on it.

Legion read through update: the lead in to Zero Hour that is occurring across all four Legion family of books is actually kind of fun with time getting screwed up. Definitely doesn't hurt that these issues are being written by Mark Waid and Kurt Busiek. It's weird that for a couple of months, Waid is writing L.E.G.I.O.N., Legion, Legionnaires, and Valor all in the same family of books, and he's got Flash going. I'm sure it's a short term thing to handle the crossover coordination, but it's wild and a huge step up from all of the writers who were on those books before.
