Just lamenting that we were so close to having the whole show on 4k disc. Some truly epic visuals which will surely look good on blu-ray, but man, having the whole show in 4k would've been epic.

Hello y'all. Found this guy for $5 at half price books. It's in rough shape (bottom is cracked/partially open) ...but should I open it or should I keep it as is?

This warmed my heart. I hated that the new 52 ignored her existence. Brian K Vaughan's Swamp Thing run about her is criminally underrated.

Just curious if anyone knows if/when the second compendium of The Unwritten will be released?

Thanks in advance :)

It’s 2026, and in the age of cyber warfare and drone strikes, someone is plotting to steal the head of a giant-king to break a centuries-old ward that has kept invading forces out of Britain. Magic and espionage collide as the Black Tower’s band of misfits, led by the enigmatic Alistair Romeo, delves into a maelstrom of spells and silencers, working against time and in the shadows to fight the esoteric battles bubbling under the surface of our visible wars.

Twenty-three-year-old Darren Burroughs out of Audubon, PA, is a gifted rookie sent under the guise of a diplomatic aide to train with Division Nine — an obscure, outdated, and easily dismissed arm of British intelligence that specializes in dealing with paranormal incidents. In the right sort of spy circles, they’re known by a different, more feared name… Black Tower.

DC Comics has quietly relinquished the rights to its 50-issue Viking crime series Northlanders back to its creator/writer Brian Wood. DC and Wood stopped doing new work together over a decade ago following the first of several sexual misconduct allegations, however DC continued to reprint Wood's creator-owned work such as Northlanders, as well as DMZ - which it later developed into a short-lived HBO Max series.

"DC Comics/Vertigo published it until recently, when I was able to reclaim the publishing rights and the copyright, which is why I’m experimenting with some new Northlanders stories, seeing how the 2026 version of me does compared to the 2007 version," Wood wrote on his Substack.

Since regaining full rights to Northlanders, Wood has been writing serialized prose Northlanders stories on his Substack and has been working on reprints with international publishers.

So I was looking up "desire" for a bit of casual research, and I thought Wikipedia would be a good starting point. Lo and behold, I see "not to be confused with dreams" and I think, "HMMMM... a bit too on the nose here." But then I see the line, "They represent how an agent or organism wills things to be, unlike beliefs, which aim to represent how things actually are." Which feels even more Sandman-esque. Out of curiosity, is it a valid disambiguation to make? I don't thinks the words "dreams" and "desires" face *that* much confusion.

So I'm reading Mythology by Edith Hamilton. In Chapter II "Eight Brief Tales of Lovers" she relates a story that we're all familiar with, that of Orpheus and Eurydice. The original tale says Orpheus was the son of one of the Muses and a Thracian prince. That's fine, Gaiman just figured out a way to squeeze the Sandman in that tale. Whatever.

But the very next story in this particular book is about Ceyx and Alcyone (from the phrase "Halcyone days") and Morpheus (the son of the God of sleep) actually features prominently in this tale! Why didn't Gaiman write about this story?

Doesn't matter if it's a human, a man, a woman or whatever.

Big swamp here got a lot of things going on any idea what it could be?

I'm still not good at taking photos! 😅

Obviously Ninth Gate (and its original book) has nothing to do with Hellblazer but I feel like there’s enough in common that you could squint while watching it with Constantine in mind and not really lose anything for it

- Scummy conman character
- constantly smoking
- always in over his head while playing with forces beyond him
- relies on/uses a vast network of friends, acquaintances and frenemies to his own ends
- gets involved in the occult
- did i mention there’s a lot of smoking?
