Look at the screws at the bottom. Superman is sneakily disassembling the armor. Not helping Lex build it.

Tbqh people should focus more on the good parts of British culture (art from Warhammer books, power pop, probably a third thing I don’t know about because I keep seeing headlines about some nonsense person named Baroness Gendercritical Thistleton-Smythewick trying to ban skateboards and karate).

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

I understand the temptation to tinker with it. I got that out of my system with Dall-E years ago, before I found out how image generators were trained and how much resources they waste. Using your position, reputation and reach to spread "we might as well have fun with it" in 2025 is irresponsible.

It's also Jack Kirby's birthday. The word genius is one that’s often overused, but if the comic book business has ever produced a genius, Kirby was it. Happy Birthday, Jack. Hope you're having fun sailing across Creation on your surfboard of imagination. And thank you for all you've given us.

It's like a Leonard adaptation by Neveldine and Taylor.
Michael Heide (@michaelheide.bsky.social) reply parent
Also, it's a false binary. There is a huge gulf between "the movie is excellent" and "the whole movie falls apart". Knowing plot twists in advance can move the needle any distance in-between. Still, how much I know or don't know going into a film is my decision to make - regardless of its quality.

Because that happened shortly before Age of X-Man and bled over into the Krakoan era.
Michael Heide (@michaelheide.bsky.social) reply parent
For me, that honor goes to Ladrönn's issues with James Robinson and Joe Casey. Mignola's Cable in X-Force was also good, but not as good as you want it to be. But Ladrönn fused Kirby's energy with Franco-Belgian storytelling, and it ruled.

I think it's why I love books like Astro City, Powers or Section Zero so much. These books that throw you into the deep end of a world that has seemingly been there for decades, trusting the reader to figure it out piece by piece, issue by issue. Also, Section Zero has big Dubbilex energy.

I was contemplating using Doctor Fate, but when I added Swamp Thing, Zatanna and Sandman Mystery Theater, both the JSA and Justice League Dark angles were covered, so I decided to replace the classic helmet-wearer with his 90s counterpart, but closer in tone to Kieron Gillen's Once & Future.

Rowling could've lived in her castle and tweeted "Hagrid wants you to brush your teeth and have a happy St. Swithin's Day!" a few times a year and HP would've had the same legacy as Pooh or Middle-earth, but she consciously chose Evil For Evil's Sake like a badly written children's fantasy villain
