"If your ideas go into wilder, Mort Weisinger/psycho-dramatic areas, it gets more difficult for an average, overworked editor to recognize the subversion (if you can call his pacifism 'subversion'), even though it’s right there in front of their face. And, on top of that, no one really gave two shits about Superman comicbooks back in, what was it, 2003…? Ah, the good ol’ days…" -- Joe Casey

In 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 amongst yourselves.

In amongst some quite remarkable analysis of handshakes and body language, Trump has had his first major loss with National Security Advisor Michael Flynn having to resign due to links with Russian business (As one wag put it "What do you call Michael Flynn resigning Trump's team?" "A start")

Though it's worth noting the remarkable situation surrounding the Trump teams discussions of the recent North Korean nuclear missile testing, in the open area of a private club, and asking waiting staff to shine their mobile phone's lights on the documents so that Trump and team could read the documents!

It's Valentines Day, or as those confirmed singletons amongst us know it, "Cheap Chocolate Eve" (Though there are some who reserve that title for the run up to the day after Easter materials). I think a request for suitably romantic scans would be appropriate, but that'll maybe be on it's own post.

Finally managed to download the LEGO Batman Movie DLC content for LEGO Dimensions and have that to look forward to this week!

An Uzbekistan film has been blocked from release for heavily featuring Morgan Freeman in posters for the movie... despite the fact he's not actually in it.

Well, as I noted before, today is Valentines Day, that day when we celebrate ~~the commercial exploitation of relatio~~.... I mean, the joys of love and partnership.

Whilst I might better known for my... more unusual tastes, I do have the soul of romantic.. a jaded, cynical, bitter, British single romantic, but a romantic nonetheless. ;)

So, in the spirit of the day I commissioned old favourite, The Black Cat to celebrate the past loves of a certain favourite character of mine...

( I can do 'wholesome', honest!! )

My second and final video takes a look at six comic properties that I would like to see made into television series on Netflix.
