So what's Betty doing here? Stripping for Jughead, or merely flirting with him? (Hey, they were a thing in the Riverdale series, so...) Or is it something else entirely? Well don't look at me; I'm not telling!
( But let's see the effect it had on Jug )

The Mortal Thor #1 - "No Gods, No Masters"
Sep. 24th, 2025 05:05 pmlaughing_tree posting in scans_daily
There's a man with a hammer, he calls himself Thor, and he is resolutely Just Some Guy. The hammer is Just Some Hammer - I can spill the beans here that we didn't have the room or inclination to do on the page, that it's a third-hand lump hammer similar to the one I keep in my shed and he got it for four bucks in a thrift store. He didn't find it in mystic circumstances, it doesn't have a secret power, it's just wood and metal. It's not particularly special, much like Sigurd Jarlson is not particularly special. But despite that, he's got to save himself, and his friends, and his soul, and the world. We'll see how it works out for him. -- Al Ewing

Watch Out, Boy, They'll Chew You Up: JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL #9 (JLI 9/?)
Sep. 23rd, 2025 08:31 pmtcampbell1000 posting in scans_dailyWarning for a scary, murdery scene.
Intracompany crossovers were newish in 1988, just a few years after Secret Wars and Crisis on Infinite Earths, so creators saw them more as opportunities than impositions. The big idea for Millennium was that there's a giant alien robot conspiracy, aided by willing or brainwashed humans.
( Great advice! I sure trust you completely, Martian MANHUNTER! )

Jay and Miles X-Plain the X-Men reaches episode #500
Sep. 23rd, 2025 10:28 pmicon_uk posting in scans_dailyEleven and a half years into it's run, the ever-enjoyable X-plain the X-Men podcast has just reached it's demi-millenium as episode 500 dropped.
For those unaware of it, it is, in it's own words a look at "The ins, the outs, and the retcons of comics greatest superhero soap-opera" which started at the dawn of the Silver Age and has only just reached the end of the 90's. So the Morrison run awaits.
Hosts Jay Edidin and Miles Stokes have, IMHO, a great presenting and bantering style and between Mile's enthusiasm, Jay's critical analsyis (though each have aspects of the other) and the queer prism they bring to look at the media through, plus the sheer amount of research they must do, this has been one of my go-to podcasts for pretty much a decade (Plus they share my affection for the OG New Mutants, and a certain omnilinguist and his technorganic soulmate in particular, so how could I not be a fan? :) )
They've also had some excellent guests over the years, including Kurt Busiek, Chris Claremont and Louise Simonson.
The Anniversary episode is great fun. They bring in a professional expert on the industrial applications of magnets to discuss just how much of Magneto's infinitely varied magnetic powers might be based in reality (Answer: More than you might think, but not necessarily in the way you might think), then are themselved interviewed about the podcast itself, which is fascinating.
Anyhoo, well worth a listen if you fancy some affectionately, if sometimes slightly snarky, X-discussion and analysis.
(Look, this podcast managed to make me even vaguely invested in parts of 90's X-Force, and you have NO idea the barriers it was working against there... well, actually you might, but that doesn't make it less impressive)
