Scans_Daily

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 scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.

Watching US politics from the outside continues to be like the worlds most absurd and worrying reality TV show in history.

Though it's perhaps matched by the reports of an Texan man who moved his famiy to Russia to escape the encroaching "wokeness", who has now been sent near to the front lines of the invasion of Ukraine

For those looking for a more optimistic future, we get the first two episodes of Season 3 of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" and BOY have I missed these guys. Both episodes felt like echoes of a Next Gen (likely accidentally) and a TOS episode (Very VERY deliberately) respectively, but were nonetheless very enjoyable.

"Superman" continues to do great box office, as the cast twinkle through prress junket after press junket being engaging, charming and funny.

And we have "Fantastic Four: First Steps" premiering this week too!
