Loved Joe Hill's new King Sorrow, which he very awesomely inscribed with five comic runs he loves.
Added to my book co-op wishlist (it says preorder for them is available 6th December). Can't wait!
Got mine! Grabbed on the way out the door to my NJ film workforce development class but seriously considering cutting to read the booklets haha
Me every time ya post - man I gotta order this book where tf is my wallet Me finally with wallet for this post - bingo! Thanks for reminding me with your fun posts.
The key word being "can" is the same as when my Jersey Shore spin-the-wheel win-a -guitar gamestand boardwalk boss instructed me to call out "one win CAN do it!" for my barker spiel. Were there winners? Yes, about ten a summer out of thousands and thousands. Most won cheap bongos and guitar straps.
Looked up the synopsis and ran to my local book co-op to preorder (who hasn't lost a buddy to World of Warcraft - mine is now like one of the pre-medicated patients in Awakenings after two decades of it), then found the Eek series and the Weird West anthology and can't wait!
Wandering the halls on a break from the NJ Film Academy workforce development course at Brookdale tonight, I turned a corner on the second floor of Larrison and saw a take-a-book cart. Flipping through it I glanced up and went oh!! It's @jeffreyford8.bsky.social! Coolest fuckin' thing!
Excuse me but this was fucking awesome at the movie theater today. #Lobo #Supergirl #AMC Nicest guy!
Pretty wild considering when we went last year (once in a lifetime trip, amazing) a lot of the history told to us was "so then they introduced this next species to deal with that prior invasive species, and then they took over, so then they introduced the next one to rein them in and they took over"
Just today I picked this up simply because this cover and concept is so cool. Enjoyed the shit out of it (even with missing prob most references since I skew more Marvel). Superman spins through the dead multiverse and is obsessed with comics where he learned about the other timelines. Brilliant!
Admittedly was fading a bit and thinking of abandoning but read your piece and just left the bookstore!
A regular reader of the incredible daily digest @conniewillisdotnet.bsky.social produces after enduring the unendurable, I hit this bulletpoint and cannot for the life of me stop laughing at the mentally ill criminal permitted to squat on our nation by his loser nihilist glee club in Congress.
Doctor Who back streaming in the U.S. (AMC+) for those who celebrate. Newbie? Watch S3 E10, Blink. Don't look away.
Aha - that must've been the trigger for this bit in David Lee Roth's book.
Giamatti just blurbed a book a buddy of mine (who also runs the Collectible SciFi account on Instagram) pubbed this week: www.instagram.com/collectibles...
My highest recommendation: falkensmaze1983.com/2026/01/08/b... And a dozen or so minutes away is one of the best diners: jerseybites.com/vincentown-d...
I may have missed it by one hour and a few thousand miles, but I got my copy anyway! Totally love this cover.
The video always reminds me of the Pop Up Video anecdote (apocryphal or not) that the kid actors' exposure to the Van Halen gang during the shoot corrupted the living shit out of them from then on. Siddown, Waallldoe! DLR was great at the Pony this week, as a related aside.
My dad, famous for extolling unexpected nuggets of family lore by complete accident then acting like he could've sworn I knew: "Yeah, these old jazz records were Uncle Eddie's. Ya know, he used to play with Woody Allen." 1/2
Added to check him out when home later today - thanks for the recc.
I got the first one last week in a dollar bin and kind of love it? Also I love the era of original NES ads in Marvel Comics.
