Really good 2nd issue, and reading like a good heist story. And Bengal's art is just f'n🔥🔥 Absolute Catwoman #2 ✍️ Scott Snyder & Che Grayson 👨🏻‍🎨📔 Bengal 🎨 Giovanna Niro 🔠 Lucas Gattoni

The cover of Absolute Catwoman #2 depicting Catwoman in a sleek black-and-gray costume with pointed cat ears, sprinting and leaping across a steep city rooftop. A long whip-tail curves behind her, silhouetted against a large full moon that dominates the background. The city skyline stretches into the distance with closely packed buildings, rooftop details, and orange-red sky tones suggesting sunset or dawn. The stylized yellow ABSOLUTE CATWOMAN title spans the top of the cover.

Finally into this week's comics with some coffee

A tabletop featuring a glass mug filled with coffee, a plain bagel resting on a folded white paper towel, and a stack of bagged comic books. The top comic in the stack is Absolute Batman #22 showing Batman and several armored Robins in an action scene against a city backdrop with orange smoke and flames. The items are arranged on a black cutting mat marked with a white measurement grid and ruler along the edge.

Did not realize just how much this game sucked me in yesterday 😂. Not the most stellar of graphics, but the overall gameplay & story (playing a young James just starting in Her Majesty's Secret Service) make you feel like you're in a Bond film. Which makes this a winner in my book. 👍 #007FirstLight

Top Shelf Friday time, what's a comic in your collection that you love? ❤️ This book just speaks for itself. Reads and looks just great. Marvels #1 ('94) ✍️ Kurt Busiek 👨🏻‍🎨📔 Alex Ross 🔠 John Gaushell #TopShelfFriday #ComicBooks #Comics

A close-up of the cover of the comic book Marvels #1. The cover artwork shows a human figure engulfed in bright orange flames, standing upright as fire rises and trails upward from his body. In the foreground, several hands reach out, raised as if to ward off the flames, while a person falls backwards. In the background, a faint city street scene is visible with buildings and a parked car, rendered in muted tones that contrast with the intense firelight.

Growing up Firestorm was probably my fave DC comic to read. What the creative crew has going on here for these 3 issues is a great draw-you-in kinda story and it looks 🔥. Pick it up if you haven't yet. The Fury of Firestorm #3 ✍️ Jeff Lemire 👨🏻‍🎨📔 Rafael De Latorre 🎨📔 Marcelo Maiolo 🔠 Lucas Gattoni

A close-up of a comic book cover titled The Fury of Firestorm, from DC Comics, issue #3. The artwork has a gritty, collage style featuring scattered documents and photographs, with a central folder labeled “Project Firestorm” bearing a stylized eagle emblem. Around it are distressed images including masked or costumed figures, partially visible faces, and urban scenes layered with smoke-like textures, as if they are burning or were burned.

Final #HeroesCon tally of stuff I grabbed. Pulling those ROMs was a surprise, but the highlight was meeting Pat Broderick and grabbing that Micronauts cover he did. Dude's freakin' awesome.
