Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday

[icon_uk]

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 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.

Another week where the mainstream news is VERY hard going, so I'm just... not going to go.

June is, of course, Pride Month, which is very much ON topic with us here on scans_daily, so please enjoy it as best you can given your personal circumstances.

Just started reading one of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Anna Waterhouse's "Mycroft and Holmes" novels when I saw it in the lcoal library (And libraries are a thing again! YAY!) Seems very promising so far.

Watched "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" when I saw it was on Netflix but, never having read the original books, found it rather unengaging, and wasn't really sure who this was being marketed at since it felt like a sort-of-R-rated episode of "Are You Afraid of the Dark?". (Having looked at Stephen Gammell's illustrations for the orignal books, they are TERRIFYING and, in fairness they did go with his design for the Pale Lady, but I think she lost something in translation to 3D). Oh well.

For anyone feeling that they might be too old to celebrate their art, here's Eileen Kramer, a 106 year old who still paints, writes and dances.

Miraculous introduced it's new Bee Miraculous holder with the new heroine Vesperia supplanting Chloe/Queen Bee in a story memorably titled "Queen Banana". Chloe will do anything to keep the yellow and black theme going I guess.

"Cruella" has come out to.... mixed reviews might be the best word. The tragic backstory is either completely loopy or is so meta a nod to certain other traumatic origin tropes that it is breathtaking.

So, along those lines, this weeks random question: Favourite fictional villain? You don't need to justify your choice, nor will we assume you endorse their actions. Just which one engages you the most?

From back at the dawn of the year 2000, back when Salvador Larroca still put some effort into his art, and Chris Claremont was allowed to write a monthly title:
