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.
If you are in the US and planning on voting in the Mid-Term elections (and we always encourage members to vote in their local and national elections), you might want to double check that you are registered to do so.
Mentioning this as apparently Texas has quietly unregistered about a million people from it's electoral rolls. This page helps you identify if you are still registered to vote in your State
It made the addenda of last week but worth reflecting on the scale of the pop culture icons we lost last week, with Dolly Parton, Tim Curry and Peter Cullen in the space of three days.
"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds", surprised everyone by having something akin to a "regular" Star Trek episode!!
"Lanterns" episode 3 steered straight into some fascinating, and uncomfortable to watch, social and political commentary on how John Stewart trained to become a Green Lantern, and the Guardians being REALLY bad at their prep work when recruiting on a planet for the first time.

Turns out that giant Kryptonite meteor was all Zod's evil plan.
But how is his personal life going?

VENOM MINUS 1: SEED OF DARKNESS.
Aug. 26th, 2026 03:19 pmstarwolf_oakley posting in scans_dailyIn July 1997, Marvel Comics had a special FLASHBACK event. Series got "Minus One" or #-1 issues, set before the rocket flight that created the Fantastic Four. This was during HEROES REBORN, so the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, Iron Man and Captain America weren't involved.
Venom got a special MINUS 1. Rookie reporter Eddie Brock is looking for a big story.
( Someday they'll be sorry. )

We salute a real-world hero, as Spider-Man directly intervened in a hate rally in Minnesota.
The long-in-the-making "The Saga of Rex" an animated movie based on a charming series by Michael Gagné has a beautiful new trailer.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds gave us their puppet episode which was... shall we say "divisive" with fans.
Late addition: I've just found out, through a social media post which oddly used the past tense, that Dolly Parton, one of the most remarkable women of her generation has passed away at the age of 80 following recent health issues.
As a singer, performer and philanthropist, as well as someone who broke every stereotype going and told more hilarious jokes about herself than anyone attempting to put her down could ever dream of, she was a genuine treasure and the world is a smaller, gloomier place without her. But, as I'm sure she's said herself, don't be sad she's gone. be glad she was here at all.
Our sincere sympathies to her fans, friends and family.

Nightwing #140 explains Blüdhaven as it is.
Aug. 23rd, 2026 12:29 pmthanekos posting in scans_dailyBlüdhaven's always been one of the DC universe's worst cities.
This Nightwing run's focused on that as a counterpoint to the previous run's optimism. It started with a fifth-dimensional circus of chaos using Blüdhaven as a contrast to look good to impressionable children, and it's currently describing the side effects of a superhighway built over the aftermath of that circus.
#139 is death brought up as a result of the superhighway - #140 opens on what the superhighway's done to Blüdhaven life.
( It's encouraged new businesses. )

The Mortal Thor #14

I was half way through writing a mail to Wil Moss saying I didn’t have time to think up an idea, and unless one hits me immediately, I’ll have to say no. And by the end of the sentence, the idea was there. It’s a small piece, summing up Thor from an unusual perspective, and I hope you like it. -- Kieron Gillen
