Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
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.
Before anything else, a word of thanks to our esteemed member and former Modangelophile, for coming to our rescue yet again, as regards the graphics and headers.
Amidst the swirling chaos, watching the Portland, Oregon response to federal troops being sent to deal with their allegedly "crime ridden streets" by staging what might politely be described as weaponised absurdist street theatre (inflatable frog costumes, naked bike rides and many more) has been frankly magnificent. Horrifying they need to, but their style is undeniable.
NYCC gave us a slew of trailers
Star Fleet Academy
Wonder Man
Invincible: Season 4
And information like DC finally releasing the Swamp Thing comic that got cancelled 25 years ago due it's controversial nature (He time travels, meets Jesus and literally becomes the cross on Calvary) which lead to author Rick Vietch quitting DC.

Issue #1'd introduced four teens playing the subconscious VR game Nightmare Cemetery as something outside their daily lives - and then had one of them pulled deeper into it, trapped in a real-world coma, by something within the game.
Issue #2 opened on that kid Pik's family - his sister Birdie, his dad - processing real-world life without him.
" There's no way I can make the rent on my own. " groaned dad.
Birdie asked " Is that really what you're worried about? "
( He answered. )

The Haunted Mask
"I think my best Halloween story is The Haunted Mask... It’s the only Goosebumps book inspired by something in real life. When my son, Matt, was real little, it was Halloween time and he was trying on a green, rubber Frankenstein mask in the living room. I’m watching him from the doorway and he pulled the mask down over his face and he couldn’t get it off. I’m watching him — he’s tugging and tugging. I thought, 'What a great idea for a story!' I should have helped him, right? I started making notes." -- R.L. Stine

Here's a televised tale of broadcast brouhaha, as only EC Comics could deliver it.
Warning for suicide.
( I doubt this show was ever broadcast live after this. Or possibly at all )

Scott Snyder revealed the following promo art for KO... and it has characters who you probably weren't expecting to see in a crossover event.

NS: Woman receives Guinness World Record for largest Joker collection
Saw this in the news…Megan Pierce has received the Guinness World Record for the world’s largest Joker collection; over 2000 items. Crazy to think there’s this much Joker stuff out there.

Absolute Martian Manhunter #6
John Jones is an FBI agent who studies stochastic terrorism, which are seemingly unpredictable acts of terror. The book is about why people do the things that they do, especially in relation to school shootings, suicide bombings and things like that. It’s really about, what does it mean to exist in a world that seems to be going out of control, where there seems to be so much anger, fear and rage? The Martian is here to tell you why that is and to try to help people understand why other people do the things that they do and deliver maximum empathy for them while also trying to make things better. -- Deniz Camp

Mr. Freaked-Frantic: FANTASTIC FOUR #408-412
As of Fantastic Four #407, after a two-year presumed-dead absence, Reed Richards was finally back. But the question running through the next half-year of comics was, “How ‘back’ IS he, really?”
( After all, he’s a stretchy hero! What you think is his back could just be more of his FRONT! )

Let's see how Carol Danvers is doing in the world of Revelation! Is she making wise, well-considered choices, or she is being an ineffectual authoritarian again?

Reputation would suggest the 1980s' Suicide Squad offered a grim brand of super-action: among regular comic-book series, it was notorious for its high number of protagonist fatalities. And we're talking permadeath here, not just "everybody dies right before the reboot."
( Though it might come in fifth now, after RISING STARS, STRIKEFORCE: MORITURI, Marvel’s TRANSFORMERS, and maybe 100 BULLETS. I’m probably forgetting at least one. )
