Marvel for some reason likes to have the "standard" omnis use new cover art, particularly for classic comics. It may be bonus jobs for various artists, or maybe they think the classic covers won't stand out to the modern audience (who is also willing to shell out a lot of $$ for older-looking comics). But they typically have a direct market variant with classic covers:

in pre-covid days IST would usually sell the "regular" style for half off and the DM for 42% off so I have a bit of a mix on covers because I'm a cheapass and honestly how often will I look at the covers (vs the spine). Covid has "fixed" this because the 50% days appear to have ended.

well this was 80 bucks I didn't need to spend, but I love moon knight

So I gave into my friends and finally watched My Hero Academia and I pretty much enjoyed it. I really disliked Deku at first because that sort of whiney, scared protagonist just annoys the poo poo out of me. I think Bakugo dragged down every scene he was in with his constant screaming and cannot understand why his constant threats of murder weren't dealt with. My total lack of any ambition meant I absolutely couldn't identify with everyone's quest to be #1 and the sort of individualism at all costs the first season had pissed me off as someone who wants people to cooperate in order to succeed.

But Deku got better and the rest of the cast (except the mandatory pervert character) was amazing. The type of powers and the broad range of abilities they granted reminded me of Grant Morrison and that sort weirdness that Authority era Wildstorm had. All Might was one of the best Superman archetypes I've seen, and better than anything WB has brought to the big screen in decades.

All in all, even if you're an anime hater like I am, give it a few episodes. I know I'm late to the party, but that was some fun world building even if I didn't care for some of the anime tropes. Also: Froppy is my MVP

what about it? IMO it only gets better every season. Was season 2 the sports tournament? Because I remember parts of that pissing me off with how driven everyone was acting.

Today marks a special day in my collar bone recovery. I can put on and take off a danged t-shirt. No more button-downs for me unless I want to!

Congrats, I remember how happy I was when, after heart surgery, I could move well enough to wipe my rear end without a stick.
