There are still three issues remaining, but it's time for the final showdown with Starro, and Superwoman's origin! Why does she hate men so much? A much more pertinent question than why David Finch drew Starros with four tentacles for the cover!

Nightwing's " Cirque du Sin " arc wrapped up this month.
Feb. 22nd, 2026 10:24 amthanekos posting in scans_dailyIt started in October 2024 - it's been seventeen issues and one annual.
It's the Cirque, which Dick'd encountered as Robin, having designs on him and Blüdhaven.
In issue #132, he'd confronted the Cirque's representative Olivia Pearce - and seen her face.
( Her master, the Zanni, came out of it. )

Won’t Someone Think of the Corporations?: JUSTICE LEAGUE QUARTERLY #1 (JLI 61)
Feb. 22nd, 2026 07:59 pmtcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily
The launch of Justice League Quarterly might’ve seemed excessive, but in retrospect, it let Giffen, DeMatteis, and Jones explore a few story concepts in depth that otherwise might’ve been sent to the margins. First up was Booster Gold’s new super-team, the Fighting Shills. No, wait, I mean the Intellectual Property. No, wait, I mean the Bought-And-Paid-For Hacks. No, wait, I mean…the Conglomerate? Are we SURE that’s their name?
( In 1990, the name ‘‘Citizens United’’ would’ve said ‘super-team’ more than ‘‘overextension of corporate power.’’ )
Masquerade a Phantom of Opera Experience.
Feb. 22nd, 2026 05:02 pmtraykorIf you're going to be in NYC before June, you should see Masquerade. Especially if you are disabled.
We arrived at the venue early. They checked us in and asked if we needed the stairless route. I said yes. I was with my rollator as I figured the larger scooter I have would be too big.
We were ushered in to a side hallway and met by a staffer, who introduced himself as our butler for the evening. He got us our masks, took our coats, and asked if we wanted the alcoholic or non-alcoholic toast. Then he asked--and it was an ask--how we would like to move about the experience--I could walk with the rollator or one of their chair canes and he'd ensure a good path and when to go to the elevator (the main audience goes up and down stairs a lot), or they had wheelchairs available and he would push me. He talked briefly about the speed of transitions but I didn't feel pressed to choose any one option. I opted for the wheelchair.
Throughout the night him moved me into and out of the rooms quickly, the other staff were very on top of moving curtains, moving chairs, it was very well coordinated.
In the first room, as everyone else is standing, I was right in front. A cast member stopped and asked my name. A few minutes later, Andre entered and greeted me by name (he then went on to say hello to other attendees). I thought that might be it for the name but it was not!
Throughout the show there are notes from the Phantom, of course. These actually get handed out to people and you get to keep them, which is just fun in general.
So we are moving through the show, and there's a moment when the main audience is doing a long staircase down so you, in the elevator, end up in the next scene well ahead of them. It's Carlotta's dressing room. She also greeted me by name as an 'old friend', and started complaining about not having a big role in Don Juan (if you know Phantom you know what's being adapted here), we chat, the rest of audience comes in and suddenly I'm in the scene! I got to play along as her dear friend comforting her (I suggested a vacation to Italy), and then we read the Phantom's next note together, which I got to keep.
In another moment, the bring in some of the Phantom's backstory from Love Never Dies (and one of the songs), and it's supposed to be spooky. The rest of the audience goes through a spooky hallway, but from the elevator you don't.
They had a cast member waiting outside the elevator to spook us. Just us! So we wouldn't miss out on the scare.
It was like that throughout. Always positioned for a good view, lots of cast interactions. At the end there's a bar and merch shop. They quickly brought out my rollator and our coats and gave us directions on how to leave when we were ready.
So truly a magic night. It's a very different version of Phantom, but I've seen the musical live on stage 5 times, different was appealing. I could not have loved it more.

For Sale: Nintendo Switch games + TTRPG books
Feb. 22nd, 2026 03:18 pmsettiaiMy debit card was compromised late last week, and I'm waiting for the bank to get all of the charges reversed. I've been able to cover my most urgent bills (the hotel and my storage unit), but I have a few others that are due that I'm still worried about paying. If I can come up with another $100 or so, it would make a huge difference while I wait for the bank to get everything taken care of.
So I'm going to try to sell a few things and hope for the best. 🤞🏻
First, I have a few Nintendo Switch games for sale:
Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! (example on Amazon)
Spyro Reignited Trilogy (example on Amazon)
TemTem (example on Amazon)
And then a few TTRPGs that were Christmas presents so they're still in basically like new shape:
Candela Obscura Core Rulebook (example on Amazon)
Daggerheart Core Set (example on Amazon)
If you're not interested but know someone who might be, please point them my way. It would help a lot if I could manage to sell at least one or two things from this list.
For payment, I have CashApp ($Settiai), PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle (nancy.lynn.foster@gmail.com).

Down With Fossil Fuels
Feb. 21st, 2026 04:05 pmshakalooloo posting in scans_dailyRok of the Reds is a strip written by John Wagner and Alan Grant, and illustrated by Dan Cornwell. Elevator pitch: Doomlord meets Roy of the Rovers, so a powerful alien comes to Earth to judge humanity, and must assume human form to fit in while doing so.
The first two volumes were independently published, with this third and final volume premiering in the Judge Dredd Megazine starting last month.
Previously, hero Rok had been somewhat preoccupied with getting the Reds to the FA Cup final, but now it's time to get down to his duty of saving humanity from itself to save the whole species from being annihilated by an intergalactic court ruling.
For the good of... humanity.

Where the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. Where Benedict Arnold was a Founding Father of Amerika and tyranny reigns. A world where good does not always triumph in the end. Welcome... to the NEW Earth-3.

The Mortal Thor #6 - "Hide and Seek"
Feb. 21st, 2026 12:39 amlaughing_tree posting in scans_daily
I said something like, "Oh, he should look a bit like a pulp character because he's not a superhero anymore. He's sort of from before superheroes." But that might have been Alex [Ross] who said that to me, because we were emailing on the same wavelength. He's a really smart guy. He drew this incredible pulp illustration, like Doc Savage or something. And the sketches he did of Sigurd, they belong on these detective novel covers from the 50s and 60s. -- Al Ewing

Not the Kind of “On Ice” He Was Hoping to Be: JUSTICE LEAGUE AMERICA #45, JLI SPECIAL #2
Feb. 20th, 2026 10:25 pmtcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily
The Keith Giffen Guy Gardner is an unpredictable sort. He can be creepy or compassionate, stupid or cleverer than you expect, full of righteous fury or full of petty fury, sometimes all in one afternoon. This makes reading about him fun and interesting. But it seems like it’d make dating him exhausting.
( Some people can’t get enough drama in their relationships, but Guy seems like he’d be the cure for that. )
