scans_dailyIn 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 me. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.
No capybara's this week, but a rare tapir has been born at Point Defiance Zoo.
The Superbowl happened, but I leave discussions and conversations about it to those who follow such things, though I will say that the half time show was quite something!
We note the passing of former DC Editor KC Carlson, who helped steer the Zero Hour event, and the subsequent relaunch of the Legion or Super-Heroes titles, which remain favourites of mine, among many, many others
Megacon confirmed the released of four Transformers toys from the "Hearts of Steel" comic miniseries of MANY years ago. Basically, 19th century steampunk alt modes for Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron and Starscream.

Date: 2025-02-11 02:58 pm (UTC)I pointed this out and sent screen shots to them, and the reply was "OMG we need to contact the IT department on this!" (which, given I'm a retired IT guy, had me making dark comments about "doesn't anyone test their code anymore?"). They gave up and sent me a paper form to fill out, and that's done and returned.
I've been making heavy use of Comixology Unlimited, having picked up Dini's "Zatanna" series and "The Long Halloween". Kind of nice catching up on things. And one of these days I'll sit down and watch the Doctor Who Christmas special and everything else I've been holding off on viewing!
