Be strong Covol, you spend like a major pillar in your family. I'm sure your parents appreciate you more than you know right now. But you're gonna need to take some "me time" on the near future, maybe just jump in the car and get away for a couple days. Also can confirm thieving family are the worst. My Aunt tried to work her way in when my grandfather passed because she heard there was a good deal of money sitting around. When she was blown off she flat out demanded a payout because she claimed to have spent so much time with him over the years (untrue). Also worth noting, not her father! So she comes to visit and when her request for money is again denied she leaves and my mom gets a visit from adult protective services because that wretched human thought she could somehow be award custody if my mother was found to be unfit. Bitch tried to invite herself to my wedding too.

We were worried my wife's glad-handing, no-account cousins (children of the thieving, excommunicated aunt) would try to crash our wedding, uninvited. They didn't show (luckily they live in St. Louis and we're in FL), but my wife's parents were convinced they might, and I had my groomsmen on notice to keep an eye out for them.

Some info on Axel Alonso and Bill Jemas' new comic publishing company Artists, Writers, Artisans Inc. https://www.bleedingcool.com/2018/08/28/bill-jemas-new-comics-publisher-with-axel-alonso-artists-writers-artisans-inc/ It's mostly just boring business stuff (other than the title 'Animatronically Correct', which I can only imagine is about robot genitals), but remember Jamas' last try with the weirdly formatted zombie and swearing girl comics. We could be in for some hot trash.

I read elsewhere that the Comic-Con thing was a lot more about misrepresentation than the trademark. Seems the Salt Lake guys tried to make everyone think they were associated with SDCC and were doing more of a salt lake COMIC-CON type of thing over the years.

So I was a dumbass and clicked a "26 things you didn't know about the Avengers" listicle from a film website and in addition to it being stuff that I already knew or wasn't true, got this gem.quote:Falcon the first African American superhero in mainstream comics, and unlike black superheroes like Black Panther who preceded him, he didn’t have the word “black” in his name. It's cool Falcon didn't have the word "Black" in his name, but gently caress.

Sam was born in New York and T'Challa was born in Wakanda. One of them is African-American the other is just African.

Aw. My friend got me a framed poster of comic covers from the month I was born as a late birthday gift. I don't have the heart to tell him about the month on the cover being the pull date.

Post some of the covers from that month, and people will tell you if something significant happened. August 85 had Spidey go to the suburbs, and Barry Allen was found guilty for murder.

A few years ago I mentioned offhand that technically my first published writing was a letter in the back of Sensational Spider-Man-- I got a note from the editor that they were running it but since I only really got to the comic store sporadically back then I never actually got the issue-- and my friends went to the trouble to track the issue down and have it framed. It's a deeply stupid letter but I have it up in my office, it's a nice Mike Wieringo cover.

Screw figuring out actual publication date. March 83 has the first issues Grendel and The New Mutants, and this Uncanny X-Men cover: As well as this cover for Spectacular Spider-Man 76:

site posted:Unfortunately afaik I've never read a comic published in July of 86 Mike's Amazing World of DC Comics has a good but not comprehensive feature on its site that lets you see what came out in any given month. July 1986 is a year and a half or so before I was able to convince my parents to take me across town to a comic shop every weekend, but I remember a startling number of these covers. Not much of anything of note came out the month I was born (November 1978) but I still have some incredibly beat up comics purchased for me on the day I was born, though they're apparently technically from the previous month. The most significant (and bizarre) has to be Batman #308, the first appearance of Lucius Fox, and also a comic with this cover:  Trying to imagine the process of my dad thinking "well I'm a father now, what to purchase my firstborn son to commemorate his bi--- A HA! Perfect!" Also to go full James Burke between the Comicsgate Thread and the Plaid In Comics Art Thread and this birthday conversation, here's a cover by Bill Sienkiewicz from Jordan7hm's birth month:
