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 scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.
And that's why I'm not addressing anything from the US right now.
The UK Government looks like it would rather concentrate on ANOTHER internal leadership election, though interestingly, this might lead to more public political acknowledgement of the mess that Brexit has made of the country, ten years after the original vote.
Eurovision happened, though I skipped it completely this year but based on our apparent performance, we'd have probably been just as successful had we submitted this
The Eisner Awards, one of comics most notable award lists (named for Will Eisner the legendary artist, cartoonist and writer) is under scrutiny, after it was realised that one of the contenders for Best Anthology, a collection of stories featuring Golden Age Stardust the Super Wizard, features a story created with AI.
Lanterns got a second teaser, this one showing a little more of the ring's powers, and John Stewart asking some perhaps long overdue questions about the Guardians recruitment policy
And My Adventures with Superman" Season 3 got a new trailer, and a release date: 14th June!
The marketing campaign for new LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is gearing up, with reveals of many, MANY characters and skins for them. Like the 17 costumes for Robin, and the 14 costumes for Nightwing, including Discowing!
