Asked my girlfriend if we could see the Madame Web movie. She said “No, do not spend money on that movie”. Might sneak out to go see it.
Update: I saw it and it was such a sloppy mess but I had a great time!
Beastars #195 (2021)
This post has been drafted with just a title for months. Many times I just get afraid to finish something. Beastars is the first manga I decided to collect the full library of. I didn’t really have much physical media at all, I didn’t even have a bookshelf yet. To give some context on how long this has been drafted, I met the English voice actor for Legosi last July to have him sign my volume one, he signed the shit out of it too.

For the first time I have created a password using the new dog. By new, I mean that relatively, I’ve had him since December 2022. It just took that long for me to encounter a new password formula. I have already done enough good-byes but there are some ghosts and echoes like password names and clumps of brown hairs in weird-to-reach places.
The old dog, Birddog, was only ever featured on the blog once in Post 14 Detective Comics #666 (1993). Originally I wanted to run this blog pseudo-anonymously and I still loosely stick to that bit but this blog also serves as secret personal diary for me to look back on and she was on her way out. One of the reasons I got into comic books was I had to take myself on walks when she was getting going. My memory can be really bad, especially with getting years correct. I frequently confuse the year I graduated high school with the year I graduated college. I best benchmark by events, and use pictures as a guide, so I know I was in college during Donald Trump’s presidency and I know I had Birddog until Black Panther 2 came out. See? This is still comic content!
Bucky, the new dog, was first featured on SickPanels.com in Post 30 Iron Man #39 (2001). I’ve let Bucky be the closest thing I have to a face on this website. I like to think that this website is a first-person view from my own perspective, and my character is unaware that there would be any desire to see their face or know their name. Just some inside baseball on the comic book blog / diary. Here he is waiting for me outside the comic book store.
