Someone on Twitter said "We are witnessing levels of yaoi never conceived before" and yeah that seems apt.

Reagan starred in one of DC's highest-profile "graphic novels" of the 1980s, but he could have starred in both. The idea of using Nixon as President didn't occur to Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons until some time after Watchmen's initial outline, and there are times when its Nixon is more of a stand-in or proxy for Reagan (Watchmen #8).

The Stephen Strange we saw in Doctor Strange of Asgard was still stinging from the loss of his Sorcerer Supreme status, and his focus was on gaining enough power to return to Earth, give Doctor Doom a bloody nose, and reclaim his title. None of that happened, because just when he’d gained the power, the way home was cut off from him.

The journey he’s on now is a difficult one. He’s still preoccupied with Earth, still feels that urgent need to return to Clea, to deal with his responsibilities there, but now he finds himself dealing with the responsibilities foisted upon him by his title of Sorcerer Supreme of Asgard. He originally sought that power out of a selfish need, so now he has to deal with those ramifications.

Reagancomics (3 of 7): Glory Days

(Boosted up from 5 installments--I found even more material than I was expecting to. Warning for suicidal ideation, serious drug-use discussion.)

At first, Reagan's portrayals in comics stuck close to the template of a generic "placeholder president," with only the occasional real-life touch to give his character some color. The most notable thing about his first comic-book appearance as president is that it stars, of all people, the "Dial 'H' for Hero" duo. The year is 1981, the comic is Adventure Comics #485.

Ronald Reagan's first appearance in comics doesn't foreshadow his political career at all. It shows him only as an actor--with plans to keep acting until he's old enough to play parts with his glasses on.

He could've played Clint Eastwood's dad. )

In 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.

A hearty congratulations to anyone who took part in the "No Kings Day" rallies across the US, which were universally peaceful and appear to have attracted a turnout of over 8 million people.

A happy Diwali to those who celebrate!

Time Magazines choice of photo of POTUS47 for their cover did not go down bigly at the White House.

So possibly the demolition of parts of the White House to make way for the new Ballroom were just a little cathartic destruction?

Credit where it's due, Sanae Takaichi has become Japan's first ever female Prime Minister, which is groundbreaking. Though, as she is a "staunch conservative and admirer of the late former British PM Margaret Thatcher" who is also opposed to same sex marriage, one suspects it won't make that much difference

A "heist" at the Louvre in Paris has caused global headlines. And whilst, yes it was done with a modicum of style and a minimum of violence, seems likely to have been carried out by organised crime so the chances of the Crown Jewels of France being recovered intact seems vanishingly small, which is a tragedy.

Longtime youtuber favrouites Dan and Phil have publicly confirmed they are a couple. I confess I am oblivious to this whole thing, but it seemed to cause a stir amongst the young'uns so I'll mention it here and wish them well. (See, I'm still down with the kids! When I'm not shouting at them to get off my lawn)

Oh, and the NinjaKidz Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers trailer dropped. Alas, the incredibly heavy use of AI slop for the effects was painful, to the extent I'm not even going to share a link to it, so here's "The Rainbow Connection" instead, because you can't go wrong with Kermit the Frog.
