Banner for M. Walsh's fantasy novel "The Gray Kings" with the tagline, "Great things demand the worst horrors..."

Also shows cover blurb:
"Graylands is where people go when they don’t want to be found.
"Since its discovery, the country has settled into a loose collection of territories for the unwanted and unmoored to disappear or begin anew. A frontier with neither king, nor ruler. But there are some who seek to dominate and turn the land into a new, whole kingdom.
"When that happens, war inevitably follows.

"After his ordeal with Bane’s Gauntlet, Lock Synclaire searches for his missing sister Cassie. His journey will take him from the ruined city of Seba to the very center of Graylands where he’ll become embroiled in the war for control of the country. And, perhaps, a greater destiny as well.
"Meanwhile, former Chosen One and fallen princess Katrina Lamont is on her own quest for revenge. To find the closure she seeks, she will have to traverse a ravaged land and survive threats both mortal and immortal. But first, she’ll need the help of the outlaw Krutch Leeroy.

"As the chaos spreads, all hope rests in the hands of a demon.
"By chance—or plain bad luck—Lily Blackthorn finds herself in possession of a mysterious relic that may decide the country’s fate. Hunted by assassins and enemies, she must risk her life and more to deliver the sacred weapon…even as it slowly kills her.

"With war brewing, and ancient foes rising to destroy everything, the rogues of Graylands just might have to act to preserve their home."

The book cover depicts a severe snow-storm with mountains in the hazy distance. There is a lone, shadowy figure/entity with glowing yellow eyes in the blizzard.

Still salty over how bad they botched Circe. Fucked up her backstory, her motivation, her powers, her personality, and reduced her to a two-bit starter villain easily defeated in the third goddamn episode. Gunn did her dirtier than he did Ronan the Accuser.

An image of Circe, a god-like sorceress and one of Wonder Woman's deadliest and most hated enemies, not looking so great as she's humiliated by a pack of Z-list losers.

#FilmSky Depressing that, as incompetent and useless as this character was, he's an infinitely better Secretary of Defense than what we currently have in real life.

A man knocking at her door who needs her help. He tried talking to her the night before, but she wasn't in condition for conversation.

“My name is Rasul Kader,” said the voice at the door. “We
spoke last night, but you were … you probably don’t remember our discussion.”
Katrina sighed, suddenly wishing there had been violence last
night. “Go away,” she repeated

a CALVIN & HOBBES comic strip by Bill Watterson

Calvin, while writing on a sheet of paper, explains to Hobbes, "I used to hate writing assignments, but not I enjoy them. I realized that the purpose of writing is to inflate weak ideas, obscure poor reasoning, and inhibit clarity. With a little practice, writing can be an intimidating and impenetrable fog! Want to see my book report?"

Hobbes, reading the report: "'The Dynamics of Interbeing and Monological Imperatives in Dick and Jane: A Study in Psychic Transrelational Gender Modes.'"

A proud Calvin says, "Academia, here I come!"
