As a really big Lumberjanes fan, I'm happy to see this aspect of the books isn't also fantastical anymore. I'm so happy.

I have punctuated so many jumps off and on things with "Mannix!" Thanks Mannix, by way of MST3K.

It makes me even happier that the star of the Densha Otoko tv series, Atsushi Itō, is the cat collecting star. Perfect choice.

That's total bullshit. I didn't know anyone who didn't like it until the 2000s, and reviews of the era are anything but unfavorable.

But Beyonce dropped the last name even longer ago.

I think she was just Solange in 2013 when she appeared on Electric Lady. That's the first time I heard of her, too.

I'm lost, is it casually racist to make a joke referencing Christmas in Hollis in an article about Run DMC?

There's also another good Nellie Bly book, Eighty Days, that is half Bly's trip and half Elizabeth Bisland's. There's also, of course, Nellie Bly's actual writing in her own words: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0…

Oh.

Exactly what I expected.

That was not only entirely different in plot and characters, it was also very loosely based on the Tezuka manga, Metropolis. I think I recall Tezuka said he had only ever seen the poster for Lang's Metropolis. So, I love both Metropolis films, but yeah…

What? Fans would only have to use that tool because tools are using them already to buy all the tickets to scalp.

Loved:
I really got back into comics via trades. When I was a little younger I'd read some old Dr Strange, Howard the Duck, and Spider-Man, but now I'm buying them more often than reg'lar books. Last year I got big into Kitaro and the other works of Shigeru Mizuki (just before he died…), and that led me to check out…

Okay.

Damn white Marvel execs like Alex Alonso and Sana Amanat profiting from artistic tributes to black entertainers that were in many cases influenced by Marvel comics, how awful

Since that song, Kid Rock has ironically become the living embodiment of everything Zevon derided in Play It All Night Long. https://youtu.be/WsJlqgoSC_Y

For someone who loves to hate the comic, you sure seemed to back out at the end.

I don't know why you're so bemused, nonplussed completely works there with the dictionary definition.

Darklands is the best. So good.

I mean, they have a history of making mediocre or boring album covers (and some good ones!)
