Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
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.
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.

Black Lightning's creator comes out as trans
Showing that it's never too late to come into your true self, the noted comic book writer who created (along with artist Trevor Von Eeden), Black Lightning (amongst others) has come out as transgender at the age of 73.
I'd seen this hinted at on her Facebook, but wanted to see it posted elsewhere before confirming it here, and now thanks to a twitter post she made, we are delighted to welcome creator Jenny Blake Isabella.
She's use that name for creating, as well as her old name of Tony Isabella (Normally I wouldn't deadname, but she seems happy enough to keep using it, so I think it's more of "another name", than a "dead name", but her tags have been amended to Jenny).
Given the number of struggles that trans people have been facing, now moreso than ever, it would have been perfectly understandable if she'd chosen to hide herself, but she has always been known as an advocate for diversity and inclusion, we salute her choice and her courage.
