Might I suggest the comic book series Top 10, by Alan Moore and Gene Ha? It's a police procedural set in a city where literally everyone is a superhero/villain/robot/whatever. Loads of fun, and it would make a great TV show if it weren't prohibitively expensive outside of animation (one of the main characters is,

Chief?

Yes, I know that, and you'd think people in charge of naming books of maps would too, but NO.

Yes, yes I am.

Is it any good?

It's a metaphor, he means blessed are special-interest publications in general.

It bugs me when people talk about the mythological figure of Atlas holding up the Earth. He doesn't, he stands on the Earth and holds up the sky so that the heavens don't fall and crush everyone. He just looks like he's holding the Earth in statues because the heavens are represented as a sphere. Alas, I'm several

JJJ also hired Carol Danvers to edit a women's magazine back in the day, as I recall. Quite a career turn from the Air Force.

DON'T DATE ROBOTS!

And so we race on, karts against the tide, borne ceaselessly into the GOD FUCKING DAMMIT WHO THREW THAT SHELL

This weekend I think I'll start Final Fantasy XV. I solemnly swear not to take it the least bit seriously, because wacky craziness is primarily what I look for in my JRPGs (I still love you, Xenosaga!) and the whole boy-band-road-trip theme of this one sounds ripe for hilarity. So check back next time for Chapter One

I guess not! Eh, he probably got a teleporter or something so they could keep in touch. You know Ludwig, he loves that sci-fi stuff. He and Gyro should hang out more.

Don Rosa tentatively placed Ludwig von Drake as having married Scrooge's other sister, Matilda, who cut ties with Scrooge in disgust after his greed and ambition fully overtook his life. I don't know if that's been made official or not, but it makes a lot of sense.

They're not married, but Daisy and Donald been going steady for so long that the boys call her that out of habit. She's their de facto aunt. And no, she and Donald aren't related. There's just a lot of ducks named Duck. It's the equivalent of "Smith" for them.

And firing the eponymous shotgun at pursuers!

Also, unlike Scrooge he generally doesn't do it on purpose.

Ducks don't need pants because their feathers already cover up their nether regions. I don't know if this is actual canon explanation for their fashion choices, but I'd like it to be.

Hell, I'm sure June would happily reprise the role if they asked. She's unstoppable.

Low, but that would make an awesome miniseries.

Not really. After striking it rich and launching his business empire, Scrooge emigrated to America with his sisters and settled in Duckburg. One of them, Hortense, married a local named Quackmore Duck and had twins, Donald and Della. Therefore Scrooge is Donald's uncle and Quackmore's mother Elvira is Grandma Duck.
